STRONG BOXING BILL
IN MILL CITY TONIGHT

MINNEAPOLIS, March 17.-Johnny
Ertle and Johnny Noye expect to-
night to disprove the adage-"they
don't come back"
The two pugilists are to take part
in one of the best boxing bills Mike
Collins has dished up for long time
at the auditorium tonight. 1t will be
a St. Patrick's Day celebration for
fans.
Ertle is matched with Roy Moore
for ten rounds. The Kewpie has been
laying off most of the last year hav-
ing bumped into pair of knockouts
when he found himself in poor con-
dition. He rested six months on his
farm and has been training hard in
an effort to get back on his pins.
Ertle has met Moore twice before, one
bout ending in a draw and in the
other Ertle was given a decision.
Johnny Noye will enter the ring
with Bill Whelan. About year ago
he was knocked out by Whelan, but
since that time Noye has been hitting
fast clip. He has won all but one
of his % bouts since meeting Whelan.
He lost popular decision to Willie
Jackson In ten rounds.
Solly Burns and Mike Paulson are
slated for ten rounds.

DOUCHBOY DISPLAYS
HIS FISTIC ABILITY

Appearing as though he had en-
.countered the fire of a machine gun,
Paul Brazeau, was arraigned IN
municipal court Saturday afternoon
on $40 bail, and this he forfeited this
morning when he failed to appear for
trial. Brazeau met serious trouble
Saturday afternoon when he mistook
a returned soldier, Sergeant George
White, as being man who had
struck him. He aimed knockout
punch at White who reciprocated
with a swing that sent his assailant
to the hard cement walk OF Mime
sofa avenue, and in a moment Bra
zeau forgot his pugilistic ambitions
and shouted that he has received sur
feient punishment. 1t took White q
remarkably short time to demon
stfate the stuff an American dough
boyzis made Of. Thomas McCuliah
and John Doe were arranged Satur-
day afternoon on charges Of drunken
ness and this morning they forfeited
bail for $40; and IS, respectively, by
failing to appear in court.

Mr.. White has al. all, times actively

F0SST0N CHAMPS WIN
FROM BEMIDU BOYS
NJ IN EXCITING CONTEST
Visitors Take Last Game of
= Season by 28 to rs Count
Hard Fought Game

Bemidji's high school basket ball
quint lest it's final game Of the season
at the Armory Saturday night to the
strong. Fosston team, title holders Of
the first district and which VIII par
ticipate in the state tournament at
Carleton this week, the score being
1896. Poor basket shooting cost Be-
midi victory for on repeated occa-
sions the home boys had opportunity
to snatch a win, only to throw their
chances away in a seemingly careless
manner. .aY}Ss.:. : ..@,~1
The game was close throughout
and the first half ended with the Wis
itors only one point to the good, 15-
Is. Fosston's forwards proved them
selves exceptionally clever and the
Bemidti guards encountered trouble
in following their play. Their drib-
bling was one of the features of the
game.
The Bemidji boys fought gamely
during the latter part Of the game
and had the appointment of luck
been just little more evenly divided
would have scored sufficient points
to win, for series of tries for baskets
failed to bring score.
Simons, Bemidji center, acknowl-
edged as being the star of the dis
trict, played brilliant game. He was
in the thick Of the play continually
and his long baskets were thrillers.
That clean sportsmanship has been
drilled into the teamplay Of .Bemtdu
players was made evident by the fact
that not single foul was called on
the home athletes during the contest.
For three of the Bemidti stars the
game marked the last of their high
school basketball careers, as gradua-
tion comes to John Simons, Leo OPP
sahl and Kenneth Kentield? Opshal,
captain, has played strong game
throughout the year, his work feat
uring many of the victories recorded
by his men. Kenfield, although play
ing his first year, developed into a
most valuable player. Cochran and
Steckman will be left and around
them basketball hopes for a cham
pionship aggregation next year will
be based.
The officials were Stadsvold of Fos-
ston, one Of the greatest forwards
ever developed at Minnesota, and
|Diedrich, also former Gopher star.
Summary: Field baskets, l.. Larson
z, Fyffs S, r. Larson /, Wig 1, for
Fosston: Simons 6, Opsahl 3, Stech-
man /, Kenfield 1, for Bemidji. Free
throws, Simons /, Opsahl 2.

district basketball series, Little Falls

BONDS FOR WATER WORKS
WILL BE SOLD BY COUNCIL

One of the matters of Importance
to come before the council for con-
sideration at its meeting this evening
will be the issue Of $4,000, the
money to be used for improvement of
the Bemidji water system. The ordi-
nance, number 80, providing for the
sale of bonds was passed more than
twenty days ago and as no request
for a public vote has been recorded
the council has authority to offer the
bonds for sale.
The money will be used to improve
the three deep wells now in use, thus
providing an ample water supply.
Contrary to general belief, the con-
taminated water which is now occas-
ionally found by users of city water
is the result of a number of dead
mains in various sections Of the city.
This condition will be remedied, says
Charles Vandersluis, president Of the
council.

SOLDIERS MEMORIAL
PLAN TO BE SUBMITTED

Plans for a memorial for Bemidji
soldiers will be submitted to the
council this evening by F. W. HUM,
of the Flour City Ornamental Iron
company. The memorial, originally
suggested by Mayor L. F. johnson,
would be located in the park, just
north of the public library, and would
be in the form of an attractive gran
ite fountain. On one side would be
the names of Bemidji soldiers who
have made the supreme sacrifice and
on the other the names Of those from
this city who have served, both to be
in bronze. At the ends would be
bubbling fountains. The monument,
as planned, would be seven feet six
inches long, five feet high and two
feet nine inches thick. Other plans
will be submitted. Council members
believe that with the financial aid OF
the various civic organizations OF the
city the memorial can be provided.
