DIES VOICNES

Lightweight Champion Miller Unable
to Handle Husky Boomers Ferry
Wrestler Wednesday Night
BEST MATCH EVER SEEN HERE
Arrangements Being Made for Return
Match for $500 Purse

Ernest Miller, the Standpoint light
weight champion of the Northwest
after the wrestling match Wednes-
day night, asked for a return bout.
Today, Clair Des Voignes, the Bon
ners Ferry wrestler, announced
through his hackers that he would
wrestle Miller in this city on date
to be set later (probably about Oc-
tober 16th) for a purse of $500.
There is hardly any doubt but that
Miller will accept the conditions and
that Boomers Ferry fans will be given
another chance to see these two
clever wrestlers in action.

Some $50 fans were delighted on
Wednesday night at Kent's hall with
as fast and as clean a wrestling
match as one could ever hope to see
when the clever Bonners Ferry
wrestler, Clair Des Voignes, threw
the Standpoint lightweight champion
of the Northwest, Ernest Miller, two
times in a little over two hours.
Both falls were gained with body
scissor and arm lock holds. The first
fall was in one hour, fol'ty-nine min
utes and six-tenths seconds and the
second fall was in thirteen minutes
and five seconds. Des Voignes was
weighed in at 119 pounds and Miller
at 1877 pounds. r. G. Van Buren, was
referee and Earl Tomlinson was
time keeper.
Considerable money changed hands
as a result of the bout. Quite a
delegation of Standpoint fans were on
hand for the match and with plenty
of money to back their man.
Both Miller and Des Voignes used
every ounce of strength and all the
tricks of the game in the effort of
each to throw the other. Des
Voignes had the advantage in weight
and strength. He was able to break
Miller's best holds almost at will and
Miller had no chance to use any of
st+c,,t CD, Nth which ho
said to be proficient. Des Voignes
never showed to better advantage
and while he is not as old hand at
the wrestling game as Miller the
latter never succeeded in surprising
him. Des Voignes had the best of
the match from after the first half
hour and at no time did he seem to
be in any danger.
Without a doubt Miller and Des
Voignes are the cleverest wrestlers
in the northwest and the exhibition
they gave here will go a long ways
toward encouraging the wrestling
game in this district.
The Standpoint fans seemed to be
thoroughly satisfied with Referee Van
Buren's decisions on the mat. They
all spoke of Des Voignes as a clean
wrestler who has every prospect of
becoming a champion in his class.
Miller took his defeat gracefully.
He proved himself a gentleman as
well as topnotcher in the wrestling
game and made friends for himself
of every man who witnessed his
match with Des Voignes. He ex-
pressed a desire for a return match.
The gate receipts amounted to S119
and this was divided between the
wrestlers after expenses were paid.
George Herbert ard Curley Nelson
gave an exhibition match for the
first preliminary. Herbert showed
he ives the master of Nelson but
made no effort to throw him, pre-
ferring to break such holds as Mel
son could secure.

the offer will be accepted, but the

CLANCY stands out as the best of

hits harder than the champion and
is just as game. He is not as fast

he uses a different style. KiIbane
dances away from his opponent.
CLANCY always bores straight ahead.
Kilbane knows more about the game.
CLANCY is short and stock, a mid
get compared to the lanky KiIbane.
Above the waist he is the biggest lit
tie man the ring has produced in
years. In the arms and shoulders he
is built like a wrestler. His left arm
is like the arm of a blacksmith.
The Maryland boy is Iefthanded
and does most of his hitting with the
left, standing with his right arm and
right foot forward. He has score 81
knockouts in So fights and not half
of his opponents were able to stick
five rounds with him.
CLANCY has the most deadly short
arm punch since the days when Au-
relic Herrera, the little Mexican,
knocked opponents cold with a wal
lop that travelled about six inches.

If the South ever expects TO
compete with the more fertile
or productive lands of other
sections she must do it by TAX
ing advantage other one ire
mendous climatic advantage.
This one advantage stands out
above all others in Importance,
is her ability to grow two or
more crops a year on the same
land. Only by taking advan-
tage Of this splendid asset, re-
sulting from our milder eli
mate, can we restore our de-
pleted soil fertility and sue
cessfully compete, while do
ing so, with those who have
richer soils but can only grow
one crop a year.
