MIL WAUKEE LAD BOOSTED
BY HIS SPEEDY VICTORY
By WILLIAM I. SLATTERY

The sensational victory which AID
Wolgast won over Henrys Piet, the
French champion in New Orleans yes
terday afternoon will do much TO boost
his stock in his coming fight with Lew
Powell. Though Wolgast was looked
upon by the local fans as winner,
none of them believed that he would
finish his man in two rounds. Piet
managed to go 20 rounds with Freddie
Welsh, the British champion, and up to
yesterday he was looked upon as an
important factor in the lightweight
division.
Wolgast's victory bids fair to shorten
up the odds in the Powell fight. The
chances are that the slugger from Mil
or at least not less than a 10 to 8
chance against Powell He will have
many a hacker who otherwise would
have strung with the other fellow.
Wolgast is very fortunate in this re-
spect for he is coming to San Fran
cisco practically total stranger. The
fans know nothing of him save that he
went 10 rounds with Nelson. but this IS
enough to convince many that he is
there.
Wolgast wired Manager Sid Hester
of the Mission club that he would leave
New Orleans this morning. If he keeps
his word, and 1T rs expected he Will
now that he won the fight. Wolgast Will
arrive here on Thursday. This will
give him about IL days in which to get
into condition for his fight with Powell,
which the Mission club has billed for
the night of November 80 at the Coli
scum. wolgast is said to be in good
shape ri ght now.
Manager Hester of the Mission club
was delighted last evening when he
heard that Wolgast had laid low the
Frenchman in such short order. Hester
feared that unless Wolgast made a
ereditable showing against Pet that
he would run out on the Powell match.
Now. however, it looks like smooth
sailing for the Mission club promoter
and his next big attraction.
Powell will settle down to light

training at once. He has secured his
old quarters at Joe Milletts Co1ma
gymnasium. Powell will not do any
heavy work for several days. He has
been practically in constant training
for the last six months. and he does
not want to take any chances of going
stale before the most important match
ever made for him.
A story comes from New York that
the renowned Kid Mccoy is going to
be one of Jeff's advisory generals when
the big fellow starts TO train in earn
est for Johnson Well, now, this is a
funny one. We all remember the Kid
as the leading light in Jack Munroe's
crushed himself into a match with the
big boiler maker.
But the Kid did not bet any money on
Munroe. Not he. The Kid never bets
any of his good coin unless he has an
ace in the hole. He was content to let
Andy Gallagher do the betting. And
Andy was one of the few who did fall
for the miner from Butte. Andy ap-
parently had confidence in Munroe till
Jeff hit him once. Then Andy started
weeping spell that made him famous.
Tommy Mccarthy. the rising young
local lightweight who was to have met
frankie Smith in the preliminary to
the Wolgast-Powell affair, says that
SfnllH ana not he ran out Oi the pro-
moter. Mccarthy has set of articles,
signed by himself. Smiths manager
and Manager Hester of the Mission
club, to bear him out From this it
appears that Smith is the one who
dogged IL, though Mccarthy has been
forced to shoulder all the blame.
According to Mccarthy. Smith re-
fused to meet him at the specified
weight, $50 pounds. Hester is now
seeking an opponent for Mccarthy. He
has his eye on Kid Scaler and frankie
Edwards, the speedy Oakland light
weight, who is out with a challenge
for Mccarthy or Smith, or any of them
in his class

Foley Winner
In Singles and
Also Doubles
Hard Pressed by FOffreH for His
Title, and With Hunt Takes
Dual Championship

Charles Foley won the styles cham
pionship OF the bay counties on the
park courts yesterday. and with Reu-
ben Hunt also took the doubles title.
In the absence of Maurice Mclaughlin,
who held the singles championship,
and with James also held the doubles
championship, both titles went TO the
tournament winners by default. The
winners had no trouble annexing the
doubles title. but Foley was hard
pressed by young Fottrell in the finals
of the singles.
Fottrell was playing in his first
championship tournament. and all
though beaten he can feel proud of the
showing he made against the veteran
Foley. With a little more experience
Fottrell would probably have taken
the new champions measure. He won
the first set but fell down badly in the
next two. Fottrell showed improve
ment in the fourth set, which required
u games Foley played good tennis,
but his play of yesterday showed that
he is not the player he was three

The finals of the doubles did not
prove much of a contest Hunt. and
Foley although showing only fair form.
outclassed Batkin and Finnigan and,
outside the third set, won as they
pleased. Foley played the best tennis
of the four. Batkin played poorly dur
ing the first two sets, but showed con-
siderable improvement in the last two.
The score was CO, 60. 81. g.
In the semifnals of the doubles Fin
nigan and Batkin won easily from
Mann and Jordan, the score being
6-3. CO.
The finals of the handicap singles
proved the closest of the
day. c. Curley allowed w. Hoyt a
handicap OF 80 and won after five sets
had been played. The score was S-e,
4-e, rs, Go. 10-S.
Curley put up one of the best up
hin games ever seen at the park. After
losing the first two sets he got into
two long deuce affairs and won opt
u a very narrow margin.

The Christmas Dinner,

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook,
it will not be fair for many to lay
the blame on the cook if they begin
the Christmas dinner with little ap-
petite and end it with distress or
nausea. 1t may not be fair for any
to do that-let us hope so for the
sake of the cook! The disease dys-
pepsia indicates a bad stomach, that
is a weak stomach, rather than a
bad cook, and for a weak stomach
there is nothing else equal to Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1t gives the stomach
ytgor and tone, cures dyspepsia,
creates appetite, and makes eating
the pleasure it should be.
