FOUGHT Nine FAST
AND FURIOUS ROUNDS


the glove contest at the Montana Con-
cert Hall last evening between Kid
Lee OF this city and Buddy King of
Denver. The fight was scheduled for
twenty rounds but as both men set
such a rapid pace from the start it
was apparent that the battle could
not 60 the nit. Lee was the aggres-
sor and had the better of the contest
IN almost every round, although at
times King took a wonderful squirt
and rushed Lee to the ropes under a
shower of blows. The blow that fin
iShed the contest was a straight left
to the stomach which put King to his
knees in helpless condition. After
Referee Frank Hopkins had counted
him out he was carried to his corner
where he sat for several minutes be-
fore being able to dress. King had
badly lacerated mouth and was much
the worse for the body blows he had
received while Lee escaped with moth
ing more serious than a bloody nose
and few bruises. Before King left
ring he remarked that he knew he
was whipped in the fourth round af-
ter receiving a hard wallop below the
heart
In introducing the men Manager
Gray announced that he had received
two kilograms from Butte, one in be-
half of Jimmy Kelley and the other
from Young ketchell, challenging the
winner.
