Four-round Battle at

Sammy Good, the Tacoma light

Morrissey, secured n draw with Young
Gilbert in a four-round fistic encoun-
ter this week. Speaking of the battle
the Herald Republican scribe says:
The four round bout between Sam
my Good and Young Gilbert was an
nounced as a headliner Both of these
boys represent different schools of
fighters. Gilbert likes to rough things
and during the first two rounds took
blows on his head and neck that would
have stopped an OK But the Salt Lake
boilermaker only gritted his teeth and
came back for more. Time after time
Good whipped his left into Gilbert's
face and crossed with a straight right
from the shoulder that knocked Pat
half way across the ring.
Good did not appear to be in the
best of shape and at the start of the
third round was considerably slowed
up. Gilbert got his famous right work
ing and before the round was over had
his man covering and ducking and
blocking He got to Goods stomach
with several telling blows and when
the fourth opened the Tacoma boy was
breathing hard. Gilbert again contin-
ued his rushing tactics, only to be met
with a defense that was almost i'm
pregnable. Near the end of the bout
he got one OF his set blows across and
Good became groggy before 1t was
over. For one moment it looked as
though he would be knocked out, but
he managed to cover cleverly and hold

but still in their infancy and In a few
short years If these develop in the
way they have in the last three years
Boise will be the center OF the best
producing section Of any farming COM

short years our water rights will all
have been paid up and the money now
