could look to them for helping hand. II
Down in Missoula they have already
held post-mortem over Butte's baseball
corpse and are goating in the expectation
of becoming a member Of the proposed new
league.
Tut, tut, Missoula
You are not big enough to support a
team in anything but state league, not 10
mention the fact that you are out of the
way as RAILROAD point. Wait till you
grow some before talking OF putting Oh
long breeches. And then, too, Butte and
Helena are in the Pacific Northwest
League to stay. Wait till we die, at Least
before you preach our funeral. We are
still kicking and will let you know when
to bury us.
The following from the Missoulian
shows what they think of the situation
down there %
"With the withdrawal Of Butte and Hell

DUNN N-R0WAN FIGHT THE EVENT
Contest the Broadway Tomorrow Evening Should Be One Of the
Best Of the Seaon..Jack Clifford Is TO Go at the Same Time
Down in Oakland..Mdge Cities Want TO Get in League

That fight tomorrow night between
Frank Dunn and Dummy Rowan is sure
to be corker and the event is attracting
all sorts of attention
Talk about your bruisng matches
Well, if that don't prove to be bout OF
the hammer and-tongs variety you can
have one on the writer.
Dunn was seen on the streets last night
and he is in superb shape. His step was
light and his eye was clear as crystal. lie

ment to the extent of few hundred
plunks.
But, somehow, look at that Dummy"

Rowan is big. raw boned, square-jawed
husky glutton for punishment. When he
stripped in the ring over at Anaconda for
his sparring match with Fitz, the Freckled
One remarked My! but what sort OF
giant are you running me against"
And the Dummy certainly looks the
fighter. What's more he has proved con-
clusively in many bloody battle that he's
there with the goods and that it takes a
top-notcher to give him his "needings."
Down in Salt Lake the people think he
can't be beaten by man Of his own
weight. The Dummy gave Mexican Pete
Everett IS pounds and then almost
pounded the greaser to a jelly.
Here's what the Salt Lake Herald has
TO say of Rowan:
Dummy Rowan, who is now domiciled
at Anaconda. Mont, is matched with a
big husky blacksmith named Frank Dunn
of Butte. Mont. The contest is scheduled

sports are looking forward to the fight
with interest. Dunn is said to be a hard
puncher and it is claimed can take all
tinds OF punishment. and he vii en:r TIE

these two worthless meet. as Rowan has
proved conclusively in this city that he
can stand the 'gaG' without Saying
word
There's to be another fight tomorrow
night which is attracting almost as much
at.ontion anon lutte sports as nc Dam
Rowan contest. Out in Oakland. Cal, our
own Jack Clifford is going to try TO take
the measure OF Toby Irwin, one oi the
cracks of the Pacific coast.
Jack has many admirers in Montana

strong boy with vicious punch that has
put quietus on the dreams of more than
one aspirant for the championship honors.
But whether he can lick Irwin is ques-

In the coast boy Jack runs against the
toughest proposition next to Dal Hawkins
that he has yet met. The fight is an im-
portant one for the reason that Jimmy

gested that Missoula be one of the towns
substituted for the retiring members and
the matter is being given serious thought
by number of persons.
There are many reasons why the sug-
gestion of Missoua as candidate for
baseball honors is pertinent at this time.
There is no better advertisement for
town than a crack baseball team and the
people of Missoula recognize the necessity
of giving this place all Of the publicity
possible Missoula is growing rapidly, but
none too fast and 1t will be to the city's
advantage to keep the name Of Missoula
before the public as much as possible.
with the ever-increasing population
it is not expecting too much to say that
Missoula will be able to support good
baseball team. There are many lovers of
the sport here now, who would welcome
the opportunity Of attending good league
games should the town be given place
in the new circuit that will be arranged
in the near future. 1t will require a con-
certed movement on the part of the people
to accomplish this end for the franchises
