The Fight Fans

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 9.-Another
hortender came home the other night
When AID Wolgast. of Cadillac, Mich.
Won a 20-round dec:s: over Lew
POWELL, the local man who had been
outed as the chap to beat Battling
Jelson for the title. San Francisco
ght fans knew little, if anything, re-
-arding Wolgast and his fighting abil-
ty. They did know Powell and liked
lis recent fights so much that they
made him 10 to 6 favorite
At this price the Wolgast support
manifested itself until it was coming
SO thick at the finish that the price
went back to 10 to Z. Just how VOL
CAST won is more or less a matter of
history. He certainly did the job up
brown, so there was no chance to dis
pute
And take it from me that Wolgast is
some fighter" AS a boxer he has
many things to learn, but for, man Of
his inches and his weight he is a won
derful little fighting machine. Lik-
ened in some respects to Battling Nell
son, because he is an in-fighter, he
combines the characteristics of other
scrappers.
His viciousness is awful when send
ing his opponent around the ring with
short arm jolts. fashioned after the
work of Terrible Terry McGovern, and
he has the same overland right swing
to the kidneys that Joe Cans affected.
Unfortunately, however, he appar
emily lacks the necessary punch to get
away with tough chap like the Dura
BILE Dane. Although Powell received
considerable beating about the body,
Wolgast was unable to put him away
and was tired young man when the
fight was at an end

of Annapolis, who suffered broken
back, were all hurt after having pre-
viously taken out time for minor hurts
which weakened them so that their
muscles were no longer in physical
condition to protect them in the scrim-
images.
"At Whitman this season, the same
thing proved true Nearly every man
hurt after having taken out time
would go further than making it COM
case, by providing that he could not
again play football until a physician
physically fit. Such a rule would also
remove the objection so often made to
football that it is a game for a few
men only. Larger squads would have
to be developed, and many more would
get the physical benefits that the game
would bring under such restrictions. y
Many Changes Suggested.
Many changes have been suggested
for promoting more open play. OF
these the ones that meet most favor
with old football men and coaches
have to do with increasing the yard
age to be made on downs and taking
off many of the present restrictions to
the use of the forward pass.
Coach Stagg has come out in favor
of increasing the present 10 yards in
three downs to Is yards in three downs
or 10 yards in two downs. When the
rule makers three years ago increased
the distance from FIVE yards to 10
wards in three downs, as at present,
much was done towards opening up
play. This new revision would go still
further in that direction. Some such
legislation increasing the distance is
almost certain. An additional radical
change prohibiting straight line buck
ing except inside an opponents 20
yard-line would make mass playing of
any sort Impossible on the greater part

4 POUND OF BUTTER
 THE WEIGHT 0F T
An Important Question Up to Judge Doe for Adjudication.

How much should a print of butter weigh How much should a roll of butter weigh? When you order pound of butter. do you expect to get a print of butter or more2 If you pur- chase roll of butter do you antici- pate that two pounds of the yellow product will be delivered at your door, or less? In other words, how much are a print and a roll of butter sup posed to weigh? It is a question that is now on the docket for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Edward NJ. Doe to decide. The case under dis cussan is in the form of an injunction. A certain supplier of butter to the O. K. market of Prescott. A. Matli. en- tered into contract to supply the above market with butter from his dairy farm in the Williamson valley, agree ing to give him all his product. except ing what was used by the family up to a certain date. When delivered at the appointed time it was found to weigh from 10 to-f5 per cent less than the weight claimed by Matli. accord ing to prints and rolls. There was a refusal on the part of the market of flee to meet the statement rendered as to weight, and proceedings along the injunction line were commenced at once. The market made claim that a print should weigh a pound and a roll two pounds, both measures com ing shy in the delivery. Matli refused to deliver more butter as per the con tract. Things have gone from bad to worse. until now it has arrived in the
 s.- Matli against selling to others. and As sOciate Justice Doe has it up to him to state the exact weight of a print and roll of butter. Whether a print and roll of butter are one and two full weight pounds respectively, or not. It is the same question as to whether or not a pint whislley flash should constitute 10, F or 16 ounces.

Should American capital invest in the large veins to be found in that district, the early day statement and geological facts recommended by Dr. Ford of Phoenix years ago will be brought out and fully justified by the actual pro- duction in gold. silver and copper Eastern people are Investigating at this time the conditions preparatory to investing large sums of money for developing purposes.
