ellis in Preliminary
Counter Attractions Pre-
vent Large House.

Montana Kid easily won q decision
over Tommy Driscoll after 10 rounds
Of boxing at Forest park last night be-
fore a small but enthusiastic house Of
fans. Driscoll put up game fight. but
the Kid had him at a disadvantage in
almost every round. Had Driscoll not
been carrying a horseshoe or had Mon
tana Kid not been charitable, Tommy
would have taken the sleeping route.
In the preliminaries Jack Gillis
knocked out Harry Leese in the third
round In a go scheduled to be six
rounds, and in which Leese was Sc
verely punished. A little rational
|headwork on the part Of the officials
would have saved him from the trance.
Jimmie Iarkin was the third man in
the ring for the main go and his work
was highly complimented. When he
raised Montana Kids arm, giving him
the decision. he hit the judgment Of
practically every fan present.
Counter Attractions Draw.
Counter attractions in the city drew
from Promoter Mickey Morton's
house, and he suffered at the gate end
as a result Staging two Of the best
main goes seen in this city during the
past season, Promoter Morton placed
boxing attractions on the boards that
were deserving of much larger attend
ance. 1t is certain, in the judgment OF
fans who are faithful to the ring. that
| the Montana Kid-Driscoll match Is
the best card OF its kind that has been
put on in Boise for some years. Two
clever boxers met and boxed in SCI
entific style. While the Kid was given
a decision, Driscoll proved to be game
to the last and although knocked down
several times. and groggy, he fought
back and saved himself. Too high a
compliment cannot be paid to Mon
/ tana Kid for the ring courtesy he
showed his opponent. When Driscoll
slipped the Kid helped him to his feet
and then carried the fighting to him.
Driscoll made desperate rallies and
landed often.
Jack ellis virtually played with
Leese. letting him stay for three rounds
of the preliminary and then he crossed
with a right after he had his man
groggy and sent him to the floor with
a thud Leeses seconds threw up the
! sponge before the count was taken. 1t
was a merciful act. Had the referee
stopped the last blow before It had q
chance to land by declaring ellis an
easy winner. he might have saved tho
punishment. There was never a doubt
but that ellis had the go all to him.

time before he shot over the right
blow.
