KNOCKED OUT
THIRD ROUNND
@SLUGGER" GOLDSMITH VICTOR
IN MAIN EVENT AT SATURDAY
NIGHT SMOKER
SEVERAL GOOD PRELIMINARIES
Large Attendance = Plan Another
Large Attendance Plan Another
Match for Goldsmith.

The smoker" given Saturday night
at the Rex theatre for the benefit of
the baseball club drew one of the larg-
est crowds that have ever attended an
event of the kind in the city and the
program was up to all expectations.
E. E. Saunders arranged the program
and spent considerable time in the eff
fort to secure matches that would be
clean, fast and exciting and it is safe
to say that there was not a fan in the
audience but that was more than salts
lied The event of Saturday night
made such favorable impression that
future attempts along this line should
bring out much larger crowds.
Mr.. Saunders announced the various
events and Jack O'Brien was referee
T. s. Kerr and o. c. Wilson were time
keepers.
The first event was three round
go between Red" Welch and Bernard
Jacoby, at 125 pounds. Both bows
showed speed and aggressiveness but
Jacoby had the best of the bout on
points. The bout was declared a draw
The second event was fought by
Alan Shultis and Dick Crocker. at 120
pounds. This was the fastest eyenr
OF the evening. Both boys were pretty
evenly matched and mixed frequently
IN each round each taking some hard
punches. The match was declared a
draw
Homer Welch and Lester Rohlf
fought at $50 pounds and put up a
good. snappy fight. Both were clever
Welch worked on Rohlf's body and got
by a careless guard with several hard
punches. Rohlf was steady and cool
and showed up as good as any contest
ant during the evening. He was
awarded the decision
Bob Jones and Don Cole put on an
other three round go, the men weigh
ing in at 145 pounds This was the
only weak card of the night, both men
stalllng most of the three rounds. The
event was called a draw by Referee
O'Brien.
The main event between ARMY" Zie-
mer and "Slugger" Goldsmith was
short and sweet, Goldsmith putting
Ziemer to sleep in the third round
with a right to the jaw. The knock
out was as much of a surprise to the
fans as it was to Ziemer. The first
round was tame. Ziemer tried to land
several wallops but Goldsmith ducked
twisted, turned, and wriggled away
from each one. In the second round
Ziemer walked into right swing that
sent him to the floor. He got to his
feet at the count of six but was dazed.
He saved himself knockout in this
round by clinching until the gong
sounded for the end of the round. In
the third round Ziemer was still grog-
gy. Goldsmith was able to land a body
swing with his right to Ziemer's law
that sent him to the floor, down and
out
The fans of the city are now anxious
TO see Goldsmith in another match and
Mr. Saunders states that ARRANGE
ments are now being made to have
another smoker" in the near future.
Goldsmith is modest about his vic
tory of Saturday. He went into the
fight to win and did his best. He states
that he is willing to meet any
local men of his weight or ten pounds
over but that he is not professional
and does not care to go against a pro-
fessional fighter. 1t may be possible
that a match can be arranged soon be-
tween Goldsmith and Frank Gillard.
AS a result of the Smoker" Satur-
day evening the treasury of the Bon
ners Ferry baseball club was enriched
by SCI. The match was put on with as
little expense as possible The total
receipts were s179.50. OF this $500
was paid for gloves and $40 for hall
rent and S905 for advertising and in
