FEATHERS CUT
OUT TRAINING
YESTERDAY WILL
BE FINAL
Coast Champion Still Confident He
Will Stop Milwaukee Lad Long
Before Limit-Latter Shows
Well in His Camp

With the workouts yesterday after
noon Ad Wolgast and Danny Webster
finished the job of training for their
near ar-championship battle at Vernon
tomorrow night, and while they will do
light gymnasium work today, their
public workouts have ceased. Both are
in great condition-this is no hearsay
dope-and neither can figure out what
sort of an excuse will be justified II ne
fails to win long before the limit.
They knocked off work after the stren-
uous stunts yesterday afternoon be-
cause each is below the required 122
pounds, at which notch they must
weigh in tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock. For the benefit of the fans
the weighing-in process will be staged
on the balcony in the rear of the JEFF
fries cafe, but it will be mere for
mality for the purpose of releasing
their weight forfeits, as the fact that
both are below weight now and will
dry out pound or more meantime
makes it absolutely certain that each
will fail to bulge the beam when set
at the 122-pound mark.
About 1900 fans attended the Wolgast
workout yesterday afternoon at Jack
Doyle's club at Vernon and the fast,
scrappy little Milwaukee citizen en-
tertained them with plenty of work,
including several rounds of boxing.
He performed all the ordinary stunts
with the punching bag, pulleys and
weights and ended the workout with
three rounds with Kid Lamar and two
with Maurice Sayers. The latter bout
was scheduled to go three rounds, but
Wolgast put a hard right swing to the
groin in a fierce mixup and Sayers
fell to the floor. 1t was feared that
he had been. injured, but beyond the
pain experienced he is all right.
Webster Is Confident
Danny Webster also entertained a
large Sunday crowd at his Venice
quarters. and as this was his fare
well workout in public he put on an
extra card. After working in the ring
for several minutes he boxed four
rounds with Jimmy Austin and three
rounds with Jack Redmond. Danny
is delighted with his condition and
says that he is ready for any emer-
gency and insists that he surely will
put a crimp in the aspirations of the
Milwaukee kiddo.
There lis one beautiful prospect in
this bout for everybody, regardless of
the result-it will be a fight worth go
ing to see All the fans know Web
ster's style of milling-fast and furious
all the way-and Wolgast has shown
in training that this also is his style
Neither will require any urging by the
fans to get busy at fighting, as both
bows will be at it from the first tap
of the gong, playing for knockout
victory to emphasize his claims upon
the attention of Moran and Atten.
Wolgast appears to be as fine
niece of fighting machinery as ever
was seen in a local ring. He is re-
markably clever for a little scrapper
is furious in his speed, cool-headed
even in the exciting mixups, and uses
his cleVerness only for the purpose of
defense and to make an opening for
knockout wallop. Those who enthused
at the pretty exhibition put up by
Johnny Coulon when he fought Terry
McGovern here a few months ago will
have an opportunity to repeat, as VOL
CAST fights in about the same style.
THE lad from Milwaukee is so good,
apparently. that Webster will have the
biggest task of his lifetime in whip
ping his opponent. However II he
turns the trick he will have proved
bevond all possible dispute that he is
entitled to rank with the top notchers
of the feather division and must be
considered seriously as an aspirant for
the championship. Danny promises 10
deliver the goods.
Two Prelims Carded
Two preliminaries instead of one will
be staged for this event. Mike Kutchos
and Walter Fisher will be in the semi
windup, while ]. e. Krause's "a. ID. I.
No 2S" and Jack Ripper and Wilson's
"Billy the Waiter will be in the cur
tain raiser. While it is probable that
