Milwaukee, Wis, May 7.-Ad VOL
CAST, Milwaukee's featherweight
fighter, gave frankie Neil of Califor-
mia terrible beating in their 10
round fight before the Green Valley
Boxing club last night and removed
another pillar from the path he is
blazing to fight with Abe Attell for
the championship of the world.
Neil was game. Twice he was sent
IL the floor, once in the seventh round
and again in the eighth But he got
UP and stood off Wolgast to the end
of the round in each case when it
seemed that he surely would be
stopped for the count. In the eighth
round he took the nine count befor,
arising to face the hard hitting local
lad
WOlgnst Leads from start.
Wolgast had shade from the first
round on. He battered Neil inces-
sanity about the body when they were
close together and sent snappy
punches to his face at long range
when frankie tried to stand off and
fight.

given up hope of winning and only
sent frankie back in the hope that
he could stay the limit. and stay he
did.
The two knockdowns took a lot of
fight out of him and if the bout had

would probably have sent over the

the big local crowd was wildly en-

COMPLETING ARRANGEMENTS
Dick Frost to Join the Team at De.

Will Be Brought Home.
GAMES TOMORROW.
Rock Island at Decatur.
Cedar Rapids at Peoria.
Dubuque at Bloomington.
Clinton at Springfield.

Again the rain scored all over the
Three-Eye league yesterday, and not
a wheel turned. Three solid days of
nothing doing and the directors are
growing fidgety as the prospects of
an assessment for running expenses
grow more and more real Swear
words have been heard in every one
|of the northern cities when stockhold
|ers inspected the bulletin boards
about 5 O'Clock in the afternoon.
Reports from Peoria are that the
Lakewood park is deserving of the
name. The grounds have been a lake
the last three days. At Decatur a
force of men is kept busy with tile
spades digging bitches to drain the
outfield, the diamond being still visi-
BILE. At Bloomington and Springfield
conditions are equally deplorable.
Unless the unexpected happens this
Afternoon the northern teams will
have wasted half their substance pro-
vided for the trip south with no re-
turns, for all move again tonight for
another friendly call. The champs go
| to Decatur, the unbeaten, to camp
two days more. Unless conditions
| improve they will probably stay there,
Tor, with the legislature in session
and other distractions holding the
limelight at the capital, it is not a
good place for ball players in it's pres
INT state of depleted hotel facilities.
Dick Frost, the semi-pro first base
man from st. Louis who was signed
last winter but was not able ito report
] is to join the team at Decatur. If he
makes good in the tanning bees
around the hotels till home coming
time he will be brought along to help
raise the pennant.
| Nothing stops Preparations.
Meantime preparations are going
steadily forward for the big doings
here next Tuesday. The pennant pole
has about attained its growth and il
is fine specimen. Though not quite
las large as the Washington monu
ment or the Eiffel tower it will be big
enough for all practical purposes
Secretary ]. F. Munger of the local
association has established a special
Iguard armed to the teeth, to watch
over the pennant night and day and
