Ring Tales
By JOE L. MARKHAM
Chairman Montana State Athletic Commission

ing to prolong the bout, as King had
nothing in his repertoire to bother him,
The bout was held on the afternoon of
July 4, 1908. Fifteen hundred people
watched the mild matinee.
King Has the Floor
King hit the floor the second round
for a count of eight. In the third and
fourth rounds he made a sorry show
ing. He was all in when the bell rang
collapsed to the floor after a series
of lefts and rights, staying down for a
i count of nine. AS he got up, a short
left jab, followed by rights and lefts
to the body and a right to the chin put
the Denver boy down for keeps. He
tried to get up several times, but
couldn't make it until well after the
swan song was rendered by the ref
cree.
The Silver Bow Athletic club staged
the show. It had been announced that
the men would fight at 1876 pounds. The
agreement articles, however, specified
weight. and Al Herford, manager of
Cans, who had arrived in town the
morning of the bout, claimed the $3.50
weight forfeit. It developed that
neither King nor his manager, Joe
Lucas. had ever posted the forfeit
money. There was considerable wrangl-
ing over the forfeit item, but the club,
managed by Abe Cohen, refused to be
drawn into the matter. Abe told the
boxers and managers to solve their own
problems.
Bout Vas Drab
While Cans won easily, the fans did
not get enthused over the match. King
demonstrated that he did not belong in
tho CO, ~ rirr with thu .N1I Nc etor -
King was ready to quit several times.
From the second round on, Cans threw
lefts and rights to all parts of Kings
head and body without taking very
many blows in return. Joe was impress
sed with the seriousness of Referee Nc
Donald's second warning. that unless
they really mixed, he would eau the
contest off and neither boxer would
get any money. 1t wasn't sweet music
to the ears of Cans. but it had the
necessary effect, for the Baltimore lad
made a runaway race of the fight
after Mcdonald issued his second
mandate.
There was to be a siX-round prelim-
mary between Ike Hayes and Young
Peter Jackson. jackson was under the
management of Al HEREFORD, who wanted
to wager that Young Peter would put
Ike away in less than the full distance.
No one backed Ike to the extent of
$3.50, so the preliminary was not stag
ed. George Gardner and Jack Root
were fighting at Buffalo. N. Y, that af-
ternoon. so the round-by-round returns
of that bout were read to the crowd.
This Bout Delayed, Too
The bout took place at the old base
ball park. A light rain was falling an
hour before the contest, and was fol-
lowed by a series of dust clouds. The
fact that the prelim was not put on,
plus the time spent by the managers
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1935-10-04

was to be permanent. Alternate dates
with plenty of time between bouts was
the rule afterwards.
This piling up of three bouts by rival
clubs In 1903, was what prompted the
state athletic commission, when it was
organized in 1913, to limit boxing bouts
to one a month in all cities where more
than one charter was granted. In 1913
IA, there were three clubs in Butte.
One bout a month raj the rule-each
club being limited to four matches q
year. If there hadn't been regulation
and supervision. the episode Of 1903
might have been re-enacted by the
three clubs operating here in 1894.

Plan Game Survey
in the 10 Lo Forest

A game survey in the great Lo 10
forest which is to start in December
and continue through April. is planned
by the forest service.
The Lo Lo section embraces more
than $3.50, 900 acres of land in the Mis-
soula area.
Patrols will be formed to study the
condition of game, their numbers and
their migrations.
To carry on the extended study cab
ms in remote sections of the forest will
be stocked with provisions and other
necessities sufficient to last through
the winter and early spring.
The 10 Lo forest, it is believed, is a
haven for more than 500 deer and $500
elk, moose, mountain sheep, mountain
goats and bear.

BELATED APPEAL HEARD

Despite the fact that Frank Hogan,
served a term in the penitentiary after
being convicted on a charge of robbery
and is now at liberty, the Montana
supreme court last week heard his APP
peal for a new trial on the charge. The
belated appeal, it was stated, was pre-
sented to the court to clear a legal point
in the judges instructions to the jury
when the case was first tried. 1t is
unlikely that he will be retired even if
the appeal is granted, as the rule of
prior Jeopardy would prevent such a
thing, it is believed.

WATER DIVISION DISCUSSED

Governor Ben Ross of Idaho and
Governor Cooney of Montana conferred
in Helena recently upon a plan which
would, if carried through, give the
Snake river valley of Idaho a portion
of the water from the Madison river in
the continental divide in southern
Beaverhead county. At the same time
additional storage facilities in the Vel
lowstone park region would increase
the water supply for both the Madison
and the Yellowstone to an extent that
would more than offset the water turn
ed into the Snake river.
