MORAN OUTPOINTS
WOLGAST IN FIGHT

NEW YORK, April S-Owen Moran Of
England defeated Kid Wolgast of Mil
waukee in their six-round fight at the
National Athletic Club of America last
night Moran was too strong for his
lighter opponent. but the Milwaukee
youngster proved surprise to Moran
and the select gathering of notables who
clustered at the ringside and cheered the
fighters on.
Wolgast appeared to be about six
when the bell rang for the beginning Of
the first round the American fighter
stalked slowly toward Moran. with his
head down and his arms wound almost
around his neck.
Moran was puzzled at this peculiar
style and essayed to break through VOL
CASTS guard and land right hook to
the jaw. The Milwaukee fighter present
ed an almost impregnable defense. and
for several seconds Moran tried vainly
fly terrific left swing that landed flush
on Morans jaw. They fought hard for
about minute. when Wolgast again as
sumed his peculiar defensive tactics.
When Moran least expected it Wogast
again let go his left.
This style of fighting continued until
the sixth round. when Moran solved his
opponents style and landed punches al
most at will. He staggered Wolgast with
stiff right jolt on the jaw. and the Mil
waukee fighter was very tired when the
final bell rang.
Dolphin NJ. Delmas. the lawyer who de-
Tended Harry Thaw in his first trial, was
among those present and was one of the
most enthusiastic ''rooters'' for the Amer
lean fighter. Other members who at
tended were Ted Marks Tim Sullivan.
Frank Farrell, Alderman Gaffney. Tim
Hurst Arthur Pryor and Tom Sharkey.
In the preliminaries Johnny Richie
drew with Billy Heating. Jack Murphy

The Miles-Sands match attracted chief
interest, and although the Englishman
always ruled favorite there were many
who had hopes of seeing Sands display a
flash of old-time brilliancy and thereby
worry his famous opponent. Miles was
always master of the situation. and his
force to the dedans rarely failed. His
mastery of the grille openings was also
complete, but when it came to an ex-
change of volleys Sands generally scored.
Miles found the grille successfully ten
times and the dedans on thirteen diner
ent occasions, while the American was
credited with only two grille openings and
six points to the dedanS. Miles did not
try for the winning gallery. but often kill
ed the ball in that corner. He also SEEM
ed able to make returns either fore O.
backhanded with equal facility
1t was nothing but Miles in the early
part Of the match. For instance. in the
first set the Briton began by Keeling off
three straight games, Sands apparently
being helpless to check the advance. The
home player won the fourth game and
later on the seventh only to have his OPP
ponent win the set.
The same order Of things prevailed in
the second set. Miles again starting off
with three straight. By winning the
fourth game Sands succeeded in escaping
whitewash, for Miles then proceeded
to run out.
With the exception of the first set of
the acknowledgements match the for
mer always held the upper hand. The
feature Of this set and the entire match
was the struggle which marked the eff

RUSSIAN LION QUIT,

NEW YORK. April s.-George Hacken-
schmidt. the great Russian wrestler, who
came into New York some weeks ago like
a lion. yesterday departed like lamb
that had already undergone the tortures
Of slaughter. The big fellow arrived here
in the morning and Immediately proceeded
to his berth on the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse, which sailed In the afternoon.
Hack admits one thing. and that Is that
he quit cold to Frank Gotch. But he says
that If he hadn't he mightn't have had
chance to. Prospects Of a funeral with an
extra large-sized box in the hearse made
Hack relinquish his title.
"Gotch gouged out as much Of my eyes
as he had time to-" said Hack, and per-
formed several unsurgical operations on
various other portions of my body that
made me decide that life was better than
a title"
And Hack looked it. His eyes were
bloodshot and his face resembled a por-
ton of steak la tartar. The lion,
mangled as he was, said nothing about
another match with Gotch.
