Butte and Helena Baseball Scores and Boxing Gossip
The weather hindered outdoor sports with rain causing high streams and postponed fishing. Helena beat Butte 16 to 8, and Butte returned the favor 16 to 8 on Sunday. Bob Parram’s home run and McDonough’s pitching were noted. A Butte Anaconda match was arranged. The Butte Athletic Association elected trustees Frank Stan and others. A Renshaw hall wrestling match between Tony Harris and Jack Harrington ended in a draw, with controversy over a non paid purse and referee unseen fall. Boxing talk covered Frank Erne vs McFadden, referee White’s decisions, and Angle’s rules on holds. There’s talk of Fitzsimmons, Sharkey, O’Rourke, Tim Sullivan, and Denver plans, with mixed prospects for a title fight and legal hurdles.
