Anaconda, July 11.-For 20 rounds last
night Jack La Fontise and Dummy"
Rowan battled for the heavyweight
championship of the state of Montana at
Turner hall and at the close of the last
round, Referee Fred Began gave the de-
cision to La Fontise.
For the first eight rounds it was any
body's fight, but from that time on La
Fontlse had little the best of it. HIS
points of attack were the dummy's heart
and face, but for all the pounding, at the
end Of the 18th round Rowan turned up
fresh, fine and dandy.
In the 18th round La Fontise landed
over Rowan's heart with his right, send
ing Dummy to the floor. He was up at
the sixth count of the referee but was
groggy. He again went to the floor from
a Jolt from La Fontise's left. to gain
wind. Another smash on the heart and
the dummy rolled on the canvas. Again
he was uD at the sixth count. He then
succeeded in keeping away from the
crouching Jack until the end of the
round.
In the 1eth Rowan was still going but
finished the round without encountering
anything severe. In the goth the dummy
he was at the end of the 18th. He jabbed
La Fontise in the face several times with
his left and landed a good hard solar
plexus that made the red-headed fighter
from Butte blink his eyes. At the end
of the round both were fresh, La Fon-
tise little more so than Rowan.
In awarding the decision to La Fontise
Referee Began voiced the sentiments Of
the majority Of those present. authougn
there were few dissenting voices.
Throughout the fight La Fontise land
ed the more frequently though the dunn
my's clever blocking, stopped many a
bad one and his ability to stand pun
ishment stood him in good stead. In
the sixth round the dummy rushed La
Fontise to the ropes and swung vi

had it landed. would have stopped the
fight right there. AS it was La Fon-
