WOLGAST LETS
UP IN TRAINING
FIT AND READY FOR BOUT
WITH LITTLE
FEELS CONFIDENT OF ADDING TO
HIS WINNING RECORD
Chicago Boy Shows Fans Some Inn
PressiVe Punching and New Style
of Fighting While Working
for His Debut Here

Baron Long is the hunt for a preliminary
artist who can give Martin Hefron an argu-
ment. The big promoter had things nicely ar
ranged for his Friday night card, and the
three matches down for discussion promised
lots of room for thought. Late yesterday af-
ternoon Young Terry McGovern sent word from
Arcadia that he had sprained ankle and
would be unable to fight Hefron, so now Long
must go at the job again.
The rest of the program is still intact
however and no matter who is put on for
the curtain raiser, the fans are sure to get
thelr moneys worth, especially at the popular
prices which will prevail. Ad Wolgast prac-
t1calIy has quit training, the fight with
WEBSTER put him right on edge, but Little, Sui
iivan' Fisher and Hefron still going
through their stunts and figure to be in grand
shape when called to perform.
At the Mt. Pleasant Athletic club Little per-
formed before big crowd of local fans inter
ested in the style adopted by the newcomer
An almost exact reproduction of Wolgast's
methods was what they behed, for the Chicago
boy is a fighter pure and simple and wastes
work
Little has a punch that most lightweights
would be glad to possess. His vicious left lab
is mure money getter, and the way be can
move MS right should cause Wolgast to fear
Tor his laurels. But Ad is a confident kid
and Hgures that he will win before the twenty
rounds are over. He intends betting a little
money on his chances, and ought to get good
action around evens for it,
Ihe tIsher-Sullivan scrap promises to be the
MT OF the evening, as both boys are rated
about the same in the featherweight ranks
and are as near evenly matched as any PAIR
appearing here in a long time. The abundance
OF race track money has forced Sullivan into
the favorites berth, and if he should happen
70 lose there will be mourning in Arcadia
Fisher is training at DoyIes club along with
WoIgast and Hefron, and is showing up i'm
improved style. Yesterday he went on the
road for long spin, and after lunch boxed
SIX fast rounds with Herb White as we'll as
doing the usual shadow work and gymnasium
stunts His weight given out as 12S
pounds, which leaves Walter but a pound to
90 before he reaches the required figure
WoIgast was the only one of the quintet to
DO nothing. Little donned the mitts with
Jack O'Keefe as his opponent, and lively
tussle resulted. At Arcadia Sullivan hit the
road and tore off few rounds with Ed Carney
He is at weight already and expects to have
no trouble in staying there until after he has
scaled for Fisher.
In all probability Long will sign up someone
with Hefron today. He has several likely
youngsters in sight, and one of them will be
selected to give the Goldfield feather a trvout
McGovern's running out will make but little
difference, for there are plenty of good trial
horses in these diggtn's that can be used at
moments notice.
Weighing in time for all concerned comes
tomorrow afternoon. The Fisher-Sulivan n
match calls for o'clock scaling, while WoIga st
and Little will do their Fairbanksing three
quarters Of an hour later.
