MANY FANS READ
FREE PRESS WIRES
ON DEMPSEY FIGHT

Scores of boxing enthusiasts gather
ed in front of the Free Press office
the afternoon of July 4, to read the
special telegraphic reports of the Will
ard-Dempsey fight in Toledo, o., and
each witnessed in his mind s eye, in the
course of less than twenty minutes, the
boxing match in the far eastern city
in which a new heavyweight champion
boxer of the world was created.
The sound beating administered to
jess Willard, erstwhile champion, by
his challenger, Jack Dempsey, puzzled
many.
"'There surley must be some mis-
take, was comment heard from sever
al quarters, when the story of the first
round reciting that Willard had been
knocked down five times, was received,
but when the story of the second and
third rounds came in, those who were in
clined to doubt the authenticity of the
first wire, became convinced that Dem
psey proved to much for Willard.
There was very little betting in
Grangeville on the outcome of the bout,
but nevertheless the crowd was eager
for the news of the fight. Telephone
calls were received by the Free Press
from Cottonwood, Sites, and various
points on the prairie for reports on the
battle.
A number of local fans, not wishing
the Free Press to bear the entire cost
of procuring the ringside bulletins of
the fight, generously aided in defray
ing the expense. Those who contribu-
ted were w. J. Soltman, Frank Van
Deventer, Owen Overman, Madison
Myers, Fred Miller, J. A. Bradbury,
Matt Geary, Carl Carlton, T. S. Jackson,
Oliver Mcconnell, l. E. Zuver, Robert
Russell, w. H. Eller and Clearance Nick
son.

who arranged for short band concerts

Arrival at Thermopolis

The band arrived at Thermopolis,
Wyo., on. the afternoon of June 20 and

Grangeville boys, were also at the sta
ton at ThermOpois to meet the band.

three engagements daily and the Cow
boy orchestra worked at a big dance
pavilion at nights.
At Thermopolis the boys saw won
derful wild west show at which they
say the riding and bulldogging was par
ticularly good. This lasted three days.
Each day Tex Frizzell, the band 5
roper and rider, worked in the big
arena alongside Leonard Stroud, the
world champion, and admittedly the
best of them all. Stroud, who is a pro-
fessional buckaroo, was a strong booster
for the Cowboy band and made many
firm friends AMONG the boys of that
by his clean, gentlemanly
and his fine sense of sportsman

when they arrived but that it took only
four days for the eighteen members of
the band to put the state in the dry
