W0LGAST POSTS MONEY
FOR MATCH WITH NELSON

Ad wolgast won't rest in peace un-
til he has cllnched That promised
match with Battling Nelson. From
Los Angeles comes word Indicating
the Milwaukee fighter had qhceepted
the champions ultihattrm by posting
forfeit OF 81 900 70 bind The match.
This display OF enterprige on the part
of the elastic kid scored a great hit
with the Dane, and chances are Nelson
will delay bis cruise to England long
enough to Accommodate Adolph,
That the battle is as good as sche-
duled is the belief of Nelson. When
asked regarding the action taken by
Wolgast bat" waxed highly enthu
siastic He admitted he had been
skirmishing with the view of going to
London or one Of those prosperous
British settlements for the sole pur
pose of eliminating Freddie Welsh
from the lightweight Marathon. But
as the matter stands now he allows
he'll linger longer in the states.
Wolgast can make any old weight

Cream City lad is the most accom-
modating athlete enrolled in the pu-
gilistic field. BE II feather weight.
lightweight or welterweight Wolgast
is there with open eyes. At the ten
round style of milling he is touted
terror of the first armament. Nelson
is among the crowd to laud Wolgast
in this respect. Il
"Tll admit Wolgast is some lighter
said the Battler last night "and he
gave me a warm scrap over the short
route, but he will find an elephant on
his hands when he squares away for
the forty five-round thing. / VIII

The proposed trip to England seems

alumni said the control of the board
by the regent was the only bar to the
old-t time relations between Michigan
and its former rivals of the confer

A member of the University of Chi

desire of the wolverines for faculty
control According to this authority,
the real difference now existing be-

is that the Ann Arbor faculty is not

SHARKtY SAYS JEFFRIfS
SHOULD WIN Big fight
"sailor Tom" Declares the Length Of
the Contest Merely Depends Upon
the Ability OF Big Boilermaker
to Get Wind Back.

New York, Dec. 27.-'1f Jeffries
gets his wind back, there won't be anv
fight; there will be a slaughter. If
Jeffries fails To get his wind back
he'll be just an ordinary fighter and
the schap between Jeffrles and John
son will be one grand ring battle"
That Is the opinion of Tom Sharkey
In an extended interview TODAY the
sailor, who, in the olden days could
take and give more punishment than
any man who ever donned the five
ounce gloves, declares that If Jeffries.
by hard training RECEIVERS his wind.
he'll make Johnson fit subject for
a coroner's inquest
Sharkey states that black man
hasn't the stamina and backbone 10
face a white man of equal merit and
come off victor.
Jeffries, Sharkey declares Is the
fighter of a century. He tells of his
memorable battle with Jeffres at Co
ney Island and declares that Jeffries
has a defense that is impregnable. No
man. Sharkey says, can break through
Jeff's left and land good clean blow.
And jolt from that right--it means
defeat; that's all Sharkey can see in
it. SharlSey decries the stories that
for the past few years Jeffrles has
been hitting the pace that kills. No
man, he says. could round into shape
as jeff has If he had led such a pace.
Sharkey admits that Johnson is the
next best man in the ring. He de-
clares no fighter has ever made John
son extend himself fully. and there is
no telling what the black can do when
he meets a man of Jeffs prowess-
but he cannot whip Jeffries, good or
bad

A Road.drag Parade.

A road drag parade one-hali mile
In length attracted a large crowd to
Sturgeon Saturday and undoubted-
ly converted many, who now will
take up the work. The parade vas
headed by the Sturgeon band OF
thirty musicians. In carriages were
the officers OF the Brotherhood OF
Road Drsggers and then followed
the drags which were furnished by
the farmers living near town. At the
end Of the procession a motor car
owned by G. N. Pollard carried q
drag, and this feature was literally
applauded. Sturgeon is trying TO
sustain it's reputation OF having the
best dirt roads OF any city In the
state, and the road drag is doing
the work. A road.drag parade
might not be a bad thing In Bates
county to help spread the sentiment
and encourage Others TO use the
