fast Ely Auditorium Ever
Witnessed In the District

SHOWING But WAS NEVER IN
THE GAME WITH JOE CLARK.

The prettiest boxing contest that
has ever been seen In the district was
that which was pulled of ON the
night OF tine fiftn in the East Ely aud
itorium between Joe Clark and Block
ey Price. Clark won the contest in
the seventh round. and after the
first, during which he took Prices
measure. there was nothing to 1t but
Clark. Once Price landed danger
Gus left full on the chin which sent
Clark's head rocking. but the Salt
Lake boys cleverness saved him. and
he came back with left and right,
grilling the Idaho man from that TO
the finish.
Clark showed himself very pretty
and clever boxer all through. He
has two very nimble hands. Is shifty
on his feet and is there with the wal
lop. Brockey Price though weighing
25 pounds more than he was not In
his class. but at that he put up a
good showing until he was hammered
asleep by the fierce onslaught OF
Clark In the seventh round. Clark
Is man OF class. and Is fit for much
better company. There is talk OF
signing him up with a good man for
labor day; and II they get a man
against him who is worthy Of his
mettle the go will be one well worth
while.
