MONTANA JACK TENTED

slightly things disagree with your lunch.
Montana Jack" Sullivan, who points
with pride to a 2O-round draw with
the late Stanley Ketchel. and victories
over many a middleweight Of his time,
was a tough hombre in the ring. Ac-
cording to DR.. Sid A. Cooney, of Hell
ena, a member of the state boxing
commission in 1894, Montana Jack
once upon a time, took a count-a
long count-without a blow being
struck.
The Helena doctor and Jack were.
and are, good friends. They used to
play baseball on the same team, or
played on opposing teams. Both admit
they were ball players, better than
average.
One day Jack, while in Helena, dur
ing his active give and take days,
called at the M. DIS office IN a friend
ly visit. They punched the bag in a
conversational way for some minutes.
Their conversation was rudcly inter-
rupted by the arrival of a patient who
needed plenty of attention. A sheep
herder. as a result of a quarrel. had his
head cracked wide open. 1t called for
quick surgery.
An Unexpected Patient
The doctor suggested that Jack
might want to witness the operation.
Jack mumbled that he would stay.
Sid went to work. Some 80 stitches wer2
scattered over the sheepherder's head
when the job was completed.
When the last stitch was sewn, the

rent needs are provided for BY re-
settlement.
As in the past, the security for these
loans will consist of a first lien ON
the crop financed if the loan is for
the production of crops, and II for the
purchase of feed for livestock, then
a first lien on the livestock to be fed.
Landlords, or others having an In
terest in the crops or the livestock to
be fed, will be required to waive their
claims in favor of the lien to h gov
ernor of the farm credit administra-
ton until the loan is repaid.
Checks in payment Of the approved
loans will be issued by the regional
emergency crop and feed loan office
at Spokane, Wash.
Applications for emergency crop and
feed loans are now being received at

sheriff friend in the audience was ap-
pealed to.
Just as the bell sounded for the
fourth round to begin, the sheriff step
ped into the ring. The fighters and
referee were arrested.
The promoter climbed through the
ropes and raised his hand for atten-
ton. He announced to the crowd that
he was exceedingly sorry this had to
happen, but as the crowd knew. box
ing was a violation OF the law. He
charged the reform element o. the
town with the daSt,ardly deed. He
hoped that the crowd had their moneys
worth from the preliminaries and the
three fast rounds of the main event.

Promoting professional boxing con-

moter was wearing a smile that would

JOE SIMONICH WAR PRODUCT
Joe Simonich, referee of the Silver
Gloves Boxing tournament, vas known
to sports fans of the state as a top
notch boxer, during that term Of years
beginning in 1917, and ending in 1880.
In recent years, Joe has remained in the
sport spotlight for he is Montana's
busiest boxing referee.
Joe's ring career was a war outcrop-
ping. While he had boxed some, not
until he was sent to Camp Lewis, did
Joseph become innoculated thoroughly
with the fight bug. In a tournament at
Lewis, Joe was the Welter champ Of the
camp.
Joe won the A. E. F.. weller title in
Paris in 1918. He was discharged from
service in 1919. Shortly after he ar
rived home he received an invitation
to compete in the AEF games at Paris,
scheduled for 1920, but declined. The
money was rolling in Joe's lap, from
many professional fights.
Joe enlisted as a private. When he
was discharged, he owned a second
lieutenant's commission. He fought on
three fronts, St. Mihiel, Argonne and
Flanders Field.
Simonich'S longest and hardest bat
tie wasn't a ring engagement. 1t was
a fight in the Argonne sector that
lasted II days. Joe had charge of a
platoon or part of one, numbering So
men. When the fighting was over,
there were only ID of the party who
responded to the roll call.
In that engagement, Joe wore one
since Joe was discharged. While his
fighting days are over, Joe tells me
that he still packs a sock, a pair of
