himself with the word that he is
under contract to pilot the Pirates

Jack Dillon and Mike Gibbons are
primed for their 10-round scrap in
St Paul tomorrow night Betting on
the affair has not been stupendous,
as the wise boys are not sure how
the St Paul phantom will stack up

agreement favorably, Dillon should
be strong when he enters the ring,
and, unless Mike is even more shifty
than usual, Jack should get home in
