"a Baseball Smoker.

A $500 house gathered Saturday eve
ming at the second smoker given
this spring for the benefit of the Bon
ners Ferry baseball team to wit
ness an excellent program Of boxing
arranged by the promoters of the af-
fair. The main event of the evening
scheduled eight-round bout between
"Slugger" Goldsmith and Jack Parres
ended in the third round when Parres
was counted out by the referee.
Goldsmith entered the ring an 15s
pounds and Parres at 16S. Parres hav-
ing taken off several pounds in the
Few days preceding the fight in order
to reach that weight The fight was
devoid of spectacular features. Short
ly before the end of the first round
Goldsmith succeeded in landing several
severe body punches on Parres, which
brought grunts of pain from the fight
er. The gong saved Parres from
further punishment and he staggered
slightly as he went to his corner. In
the third round Goldsmith landed a
hard blow to the head and Parres went
to the floor, but was up before being
counter out, apparently in a dazed
condition, however. Goldsmith fol-
lowed this with two or three knock
downs in quick succession, and Parres
finally stayed down under the count
There was some dispute in regard to
this feature of the fight. Parres and
others claiming that he was not down
when counted out, but Referee Reid
insists that he was down and out and
plainly helpless when the fight was
stopped.
AS in the other bout staged a few
weeks ago. Goldsmith was not forced
to exert himself to any noticeable ex-
tent. The fans are hoping for another
match soon when "Goldy" will have an
opportunity to show what he can
really do.
It is possible that in short time
will be made for match
between Goldsmith and Tom Gilfurd.
1t will be remembered that Gillard and
Army Welch were the principals in a
bout staged at Kent's hall several
years ago. Local fans claim that Gill
lard can give Goldsmith a good battle.
He is considerably heavier that Gold
smith.
The preliminaries consisted of six
bouts between local boys

exhibition of boxing. The referee de-
clared the bout draw

work, with the decision draw.
Clarence Paine, and Leslie Rohlf. at
152 and $50 pounds, did some heavy
slugging and each landed some hard
blows. The decision was another
draw. Don Cole and Don Davis, at

shape and showed considerable skill
at the game. Cole was given the de-
cision. Allan Shultis. at 100. and
