lefts and rights that Morrissey in
toward the latter part of the battle
surprised the faithful by leading in
and scoring to the head and body. In
fact, both boys boxed like gentlemen
and gave a better exhibition of the fis-
tic art than has been witnessed in
Boise in the lightweight class this year
Carpenter was not in as good condition
as his opponent. His knowledge of the
game and ability to shift out of tight
places probably saved him from more
severe punishment.
kNoCkDoWN SCORED.
The battle opened with both light
weights feeling out their opponent
Morrissey led with his left, tapping
Carpenter lightly on the jaw Jack
came back with right to the head
They clinched and on the break ex-
changed rights and lefts. 1t was an
even round.
In the second round the gong
brought them together apparently more
certain Of their ground. In sparring
for an opening Morrisey landed a stiff
left to the face. Carpenter missed a
wild swing with the right. They
clinched but after the break Morrisey
shot right to the jaw that took Car
penter completely off his balance and
set him on the floor. Jack got up
groggy but managed to keep away
from further damaging blows for the
gong. Morrisey easily took the round.
While honors were even IN the third,
both boys landing frequently, Nor
risey jolted Carpenter with short
right uppercut under the chin which
started the claret flowing.
MORRlSEY GIVES EXHIBITION.
Using his left with admiring fire.
quency, Morrisey Unanswered all
around Carpenter giving a fine exhi-
bition of long distance boxing. When
Carpenter attempted to break up the
attacks of his opponent he found Nor
risey's left always playing on his face
Jack looked and was puzzled. Again
Morrisey took the round. In the fifth
honors were even. Carpenter tried to
break down Morrisey's defense, but
found himself blocked and the wicked
left always in the way to stop him.
Both boys stepped into hard counter
blows, Carpenter landing to the side of
the head. Honors were even.
CARPENTER BEATS RETREAT
Carpenter pulled some Of the we'll
known old ring maneuvers to get
Morrisey close in to jolt him. but Lee
was wise to the attack and danced
away with clever foot work. Before
the round ended he stepped In on Car
penters defense and landed two smash
ing lefts to the jaw. 1t was Nor
risey's round.
In the seventh honors were again
even, both boys landing, but in the
eighth Morrisey had Carpenter beating
a hasty retreat around the ring as he
cut into him with singing lefts and
rights as well as landed hard to the
body Jack looked tired and breathed
hard when he went to his corner.
Again Morrisey had the honors. He
took them again in the ninth, al
though Carpenter came back in sur
prising good form landing with his
right. In the tenth Carpenter was still
in fighting form and landed lefts and
rights. He was frequently stopped by
the tantalizing left again, Morrisey
showing a willingness to give and take
until the gong sounded. The round
was even.
Both lightweights fought clean from
gong to gong. giving a better exhibit

REFEREE CALLS
BOUT DRAW BUT
M0RR|SEY Wins
Idaho Falls Lightweight
Outpoints Jack Carpenter
in Battle at Liberty Gar
dens.
Takes Five Out of Ten
Rounds While Opponent
Gets Draw on Others
Boise Boy Game but Nor
risey Has the Glass.

1t would take no stretch of the i'm
agination to give Lee Morrisey, the
Idaho Falls lightweight, a clear de-
cision over Jack Carpenter of Boise,
following their 10-round battle at the
Liberty gardens Friday night, for he
earned it easily. A newspaper decision,
however, is about all the consolation
Morrisey will get out of his showing.
for the official referee called the event
a draw. From the ringside Morrisey
took, on points, the second, fourth,
sixth, eighth and ninth rounds. Car
penter was not credited with even a
shade on the others, for the two boys
drew in the first, third, fifth, seventh
and tenth. In addition. Morrisey scored
a clean knockdown in the second
round. Leo Mitchell acted as third
man in the ring, substituting for Dave
Dick, who could not be present. Bran
don was given a decision over Leon
ard in the preliminary event.
MORRISEY AT HIS BEST.
Morrisey showed to better advantage
against Carpenter than in any match
he has had in Boise. He carried the
fighting to his opponent, working in
and out, landing particularly hard,
with the left. In long range boxing he
simply had Jacks number. Carpen-
ter seemed to be unable to solve the
shifty attacks that came from all
quarters of the ring. He was wild with
his swings and uncertain in delivery,
so that Morrisey had an easy time
keeping out of his range, especially
during the early part of the bout. Had
Carpenter met Morrisey in the form he
was boxing five years ago. fans would
have asked for nothing better. But
Jack was not there with the punch or
the old time aggressiveness. He found
Morrisey blocking most of the leads
and scoring often with his advantage in

THE EMBARGO.

President Wilson forced Congress to
enact law which gives him power to
regulate and control all exports of the
following articles: Coal, coke, fuel oils,
kerosene, and gasolene, including bunk
ers, food grains, flour and meal there
pig iron, steel billets, ship plates and
structural shapes, scrap iron and scrap
steel, ferro-manganese, fertilizers, arms,
ammunitions and explosives. Any per-
son who violates or attempts to violate
any of the regulations established BY the
President is liable to fine, imprisonment
or both.
Vessels taking or attempting to take
any of the above articles out of port or
from the jurisdiction of the United States
shall be, with her cargo, forfeited to the
government. The proclamation which
makes known the regulations governing
the embargo is terse businesslike docu-
ment, without platitudes or nonsense.
Evidently ''our friend, the enemy has
lost the affection of Mr. Wilson, who
makes it very plain in his proclamation
that the neutral nations are no longer to
be the middlemen who buy of us and sell
to Germany
Norway Sweden, Denmark, Holland
and Switzerland hoped to indefinitely
continue this profitable business, but in
their greed for German gold they emptied
their own graneries. The embargo leaves
them trembling between hunger on one
side and the mailed fist on the other.
They scold Uncle Sam with tears in their
eyes and a scowl on their faces while they
cringe before the threats of the Kaiser.
These poor little nations are to be pitied
but the Germans have infested the ocean
with submarine pirates for the avowed
purpose of starving England and France,
and the time has therefore arrived when
the gaunt battalions of famine must be
marshaled against our desperate and i'm
placable foe President Wilson says:
eve will feed ourselves first, and meet as
far as possible the needs of our allies, and
supply the neutral countries as far as
practicable but no supplies for Germany"
The stand which the President has taken
is sensible, firm and deserving of hearty
apnroyal
