La FontiSe Goes Twenty Hard
Rounds to a Draw With Tracy

not the places for officials to get ratified
They must be accurate, quick to decide,
must be decisive. wideawake and above
all. disinterested. No official should. by
any manner OF means. have money
wagered on any contest in which he Of
fciates. This is generally speaking.
Before the contest the referee an
nounced that there would be no hitting
in the clinches, but that the men would
protect themselves in the breakaways.
There was no attempt to enforce the
rules and hitting in the clinches was as
frequent as at any other time. Then
the referee failed to caution I.aFontise
about using his knee. Several times the
attention of the referee was called to the
practice of Nose. which may have been
either by design or accident, but which
ever it was. should have been checked.
If the referee faile dto see the knee
working. then it must be said that he
was not as wideawake as a referee
should have been.
LaFontse was in excellent condition,
as was shown by his wonderful recuera-
tive powers. He boxed well. but with
one hand. That was his left. and he
jabbed it frequently on Tracy's nose and
left eye. The result was that the antipo-
end of the contest and created the inn
preston among many, that he was all
in. That he was not all in was shown
by the remarkab BILE steam behind his
right. When he hooked it on LaFontise's
jaw, there was always something doing.
1t was not his only hand either as his
left worked we'll for the body and head.
He is two-hand fighter and better
ring general than LaFontise. Nose was
game to the core though and despite the
awful pummeling he received stuck to
his work like a Trojan. He is a great
little fellow and deserves much credit.

it must be said that he got off lucky

Men on Their Feet and Going at the
Finish-The Local Boy Game and
Lucky-Antipodean the Best
Ring General.
Nose LaFontise, the welterweight
champion of Montana. stood up before
Tom Tracy, welterweight champion of
Australia, at the saucer track arena, for
twenty rounds Saturday night and
though the referee called the affair a
draw, fair-minded persons are of the
opinion that Tracy got the worst OF the
deal. That is said without wishing to
detract any from the showing of the To-
cal boy, who made game stand. but had
matters been conductd as they should
have been, he could never have hoped
for a draw.
In the first place he took the count
three times and such count On no oc-
casion did it consume less than fourteen
seconds, and once a few more seconds
elapsed, before the referee counted ten.
1t looked as though Nose could not have
got to his feet in the fourteenth round
in ten actual seconds.
Then again when LaFontise was down
and all but out. the gong saved him and
caused howl. The official time keeper
announced the round ended. but Tracy's
timekeeper claimed the round was seven
teen seconds short and the watches of
disinterested spectators bore him out.
Had Tracy landed on Nose, in his groggy
condition, in the seventeen seconds 1t
was claimed were cut from the round.
the Butte boy would have gone wander
ing up queer street. AS matters stood,
however, the end Of the twentieth round,
with both men on their feet and fight
ing and both having scored about even,
the referee could do nothing else than
call the affair a draw.
The contest was all that sport lover
could have desired: that is from the
standpoint of a fistic event. 1t was
fast clever to a degree. we'll contested
and on it's merits, as far as the prin-
cipals were concerned. There had been
rumors to the effect that the bout was
fixed. but they were dissipated by the
showing made by both men. The great
est draw back to the affair was that the
officials did not appear to Thoroughly un-
derstand their business. Such events are

Summary.

Butte's chances fen victory over Mis-
Increased yesterday afternoon when the
locals put crimp in the baseball ag
gregation from Dillon. 1t was the first
defeat the visitors had known this sea-
son and it came as great surprise
to them and to their cohorts. They had
defeated the strong Missoula aggrega-
ton and Missouia had walloped Butte
and the opinion prevailed among the
Dil!onites, that all they had to do was
walk in and win from Butte. The un-
expected happened, however, and after
a hard fought game. Butte came OFF
with the big end of a to score.
The game was by no means brilliant
and was anything but close until the
sixth inning. Hope, who toed the rub
Der for Butte, had no control of the
ball and during the four INNINGS that
he officiated he passed nine men to first
on balls His pitching was erratic as
is shown in the fact that he had six
strike outs to his credit. The passes to
first were disastrous however, and
Melted seven runs.
Dillon did not earn run during the
game while Butte earned six. Clay
bourn went from right field to relieve
Hope and he held the visitors down in
good shape.
Butte found Hammond for 10 hits.
while the Dillonites could get but eight
hits off Hope and Claybourn. Hogle
was the particular star for Dillon, with
the stick, having three hits to his credit.
For Butte, Murphy led at the bat. with
q triple and two singles. sullivan and
Donahue had three singles each. The

1t Was Not Jealousy.

Dedicated to the Intelligencer.
Adam and Eve inquiry made
When their dear son was slain:
They wondered what could so degrade
And demoralize their Cain.
And when the inquest was complete
They were exempt from blame:
Twas proven that the yellow sheet
Had brought to them their shame.
The green-eyed monster played no part
Nor humored it the deed,
For Cain was spotless pure in heart
Til he began to read
The vice-inspiring yellow sheets
And hearkened to their creed.
TIL by his hand and meath his feet
His brother had to bleed.
Twas Saul, the great exalted one,
Who vowed he'd David smite
And put his army to the run
To slay the hated knight:
You say twas jealousy? not so,
That did not raise his ire,
Twas reading saphron Sheets you know
That set his soul on fire.
Twas criticism of his life
That ratified David's brain.
And made him take anothers wife
And have her husband slain
Hate IS but jealousy full grown
And is mans greatest foe.
In every life the seed Is sown
And oft allowed to grow.
