The glove contest at Gardeners hall
on Sunday night between Jim Daily and
Jerry Leonard was attended by good
house. Ii was an excellent exhi bition
OF fistic skill though Leonard was plain
" outclassed from the beginning and
was put out in the seventh round.
Daily made things as easy for him as
possible so as to give the visitors the
worth of their money. Still the fight did
not drag and the Montana lad displayed
great gameness in standing punishment.
The spectators for the first time in the
history of glove contests in Phoenix
went away expressing satisfaction
with both fighters.
