FIGHTERS HAVE FLED
FROM TREASURE STATE

Many of the boxers who featured
IN the various ring entertainments
throughout the state when boxing
flourished Il few years ago. have either
sought greener fields or else have
followed the example of Maurice
Thompson and Kid Jackson, two ring
veterans and retired from the ring.
Frank Rarrieau has for the last year
been fighting down in Utah and Ne
Nada, and has won all his engage
ments there, but when the shifty
Canuck went up to Denver to meet
oDowd he was knocked out for the
flrst time in some years.
Leo Benz, the big Butte butcher boy
who met Barrieau here. has not done
any fighting for the last eight months,
IN fact in the last year he has engaged
in but one fight, when he was beaten
by u common ham" pug in the east.
Benz has retired from the ring, it Is
said, and is at present working in
Butte.
Lem Kegg, who fought everywhere in
NASA'ANA'''' N-NNNP' -hISSould, ID
back east under the name of Roger
oMalley, and has graduated into the
lightweight division. He has been box
ing through Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA
during the past year. 1t will be remem
oered that every time Three Forks
which was live sporting town some
years ago, had a prize fight Len
kegS Was one of the principals.
The Bitter Root Kid has taken a
long rest from the ring and has been
down on his valley ranch for nearly q
year. CantWay was highly touted after
whipping Rabbit Heden, but after re.
c''Ving a tremendous whipping from
Ever Hammer, who has never won ann
championships, the Bitter Root Kit
dropped out OF the game.
Jack Torres has been fighting in tn,
middle west with indifferent success
On New Years day he fought III,
Mullens at Kansas City and kayoe,
nm, but who ever heard of Mullen
before? Johnny Tllnan has game,
much favor in the effete east, and il
considered a strong possibility for tn
lightweight championship, though h
has a hard time getting below IA
pounds.

BUTTE'S BASEBALL
CLUB MAKES MONEY

The Butte baseball club in the North
western league did not only prove self
sustaining during the season of 1916
but there was a balance of 1857 in
the treasury at the end Of the season.
And yet four years ago Butte would
not support John McClosky, as pop
ular a baseball man as ever entered
the big mining camp, and Johns team
was not nearly as expensive at the. 1916
Northwestern league team was. AS the

A few months ago Miller agreed to

That bout has given Miller Il whole

(RU|l vs.. IDAHO FR|DAY
First Idaho Basketball Team
to Appear in Missoula Here
Tomorrow Night.


Tomorrow night the University o.
Idaho basketball team plays tn,
Bruins in the first game of a two.
game series in the northwestern con.
ference race The Muscovites have a
fast auint and are confident of vic.
tory. but il is believed that the Griz-
zhes, with the practice of the past few
days and the experience under fire
gained in the games against the Whit
man Missionaries, viii put over a
little surprise of their own and the
home team expects to have at least
one Idaho scalp at their belts ut the
end of the series.
The University of Idaho five, which
is certain to make desperate efforts
to attone for the two successive de-
feats its football team suffered ut the
hands of the Grizzlies. has three vet =
Grams in the lineup. and has n re-
markable squad to pick men from.
Captain Gray, just back from the
Mexican border. where he has seen
service with the militia, had n hard
time regaining his old place at forward,
though for two past seasons he has
been considered the best scorer on the
Moscow team.
Bleamaster, who coached the foot
ball eleven at the University of Idaho
last fall, is coaching the basketball
team. assisted by Graduate Manager
Heck Edmundson. Bleamaster last
year coached athletics at Alma col
lege, Alma. Michigan, and his basket
bali team won the Michigan minor
college championship easily. which
would indicate that he knows some
thing about the game Last year the
Idaho team set record by not being
able TO win a single conference basket
bah game. in fact the only game that
the Muscovites won last year was
from the Bruins. whom they defeated
while the Bruins were taking a Pa
louise excursion minus the services of
Red" Cummins. The score last year
was, Idaho, %; Montana, IS. and the
Bruins are out to secure a double re-
Sengc for their beating.
Tomorrow night the University of
Washington will open it's conference
season against Washington State col
lege at Pullman. these two teams play
ing the first of a two game series. The
Pullman team is picked to win both,
as they have Il fast team, while the
university five does not have the
services of n coach, Captain Davidson

Pitching Weary.

The Fan Colony at present has grown
pitching weary There was a time when
a 300 hitter was supposed to be just Il
good, normal batsman.
Yet last season in the two major
leagues. with over $50 players, there
were just 16--ninc in tho American
and seven in the National-who fin
ished ut 800 or abovc-an average of
just one player to each club
The club average last season in the
American league for all eight clubs
was .249; in the National it was PAT.
So the average hittcr-not the weak
est. but the normal cntry~-has been
cut down to PAS.
There was a day when n man bat
ting under .27O was considered a weak
hitter. Today he can bat under $50
and still be upon even terms with the
average. These figures alone are sui :
ficient to show how badly the attack
has been smeared

Bolstering the Attack.

There have been many suggestions
offered as to how the attack can be
improved.
The suggestion involving n change in
the present distances from base to base
OF any part thereof will hardly be con-
sdered
There are other. less drastic ways
that will appeal to the fan. AS. per
example, to improve batting: l.. The
elimination Of the spitball and kindred
devices. Why should player be al
lowed to chew upon the cover of a
ball. any more than he should be al
lowed to dip it in a bucket of water?)
2. To have the foul strike regulation
apply only TO the first strike, thereby
leaving the batsman two healthy wal
lops for his hit. 8. A rule providing
that a base on balls shall advance also
each runner upon the bases at the
time.
This would be sufficient for testing
start. and would undoubtedly make for
a stronger more interesting attack.
To improve base running it is only
necessary to have a stricter enforce
ment of the balk rule. or a new ball1
rule that will give the base runner OPP
portunity to get fair lead off first
These changes are not drastic in any
way: they could be easily made, and
the improvement would bring a certain
welcome from nine fans out of ten.
