BOXING

Days have passed since the light weight championship passed from the hands of Battling Nelson. All have had ample time to read each round over carefully and size up the fight from every point of view.
 l Still no one has cried out, "Ad Vol gast, the new champion. is the great est lightweight of the present time No one has gone into ecstasies over the great battle the Milwaukee boy l gave Nelson What does it all mean i Simply this: The public can't help but feel that Nelson's defeat was due more to his own natural decline than to any phenomenal work on the part of Vol gast.
 Nelson gained his title only after fighting every single man with the smallest claim to championship hon. ors.o Before he was given a chance at Joe Cans he had to beat Young Cor bett. Jimmy Britt. Eddie Hanlon. Au- relia Herrera and other men consid- cred dangerous at close range. And all of these fights were scheduled for twenty rounds or more.
 With Wolgast it was different. He has been fighting none but short bat ties. most of which have been with men of little importance. Most of the good men he met outpointed him. No one discovered in him the nlakings of a champion. His reputation. before acquiring the title. was not as good as that of half a dozen other little fight CTS who were clamoring for chance at Nelson.
 Be that as it may, no matter how lucky Wolgast,s victory may appear at a distance. there Is no doubt that he is a great little fighter. Any man who can outstay Battling Nelson must be something out of the ordinary. even in the state the Dane was in before this last battle
 The public will not be satisfied until Wolgast defends his title against a first-class man. The winner of the Murphy Moran bout in Frisco seems to be the logical man for the new champion from the foam section. If Wolgast can beat man like Owen then all hats off to him and into the cellar with all the skeptics.
 Unlike other beaten champions, Nell son will have difficulty getting en- agreements for short battles. Cans, McGovern. Britt and corbett were clever. and. after their downfall. were good drawing cards in six and ten friend was the short bout-even in h's best days. He never was a rapid-fire entertainer.
 Nelson probably has a few more long fights in his system, but he will not be able to grab much change via the short and easy route.
 Jemes Britt. ST., and Battling Nell sons father sat in box at the ring side Tuesday afternoon at the Point Richmond arena when the world s lightweight championship passed from the younger Nelson to Ad Wolgast. To this pair the happenings in the arena as the sun was setting behind the Golden Gate were little short of a tragedy. The elder Nelson sought out Father Britt before the fight and ask ed him to be his guest at the Wash ington's Birthday show. Any feeling that might have existed between them on account of the old scores between Jimmy and Bat were wiped away. They were present in a common cause: each roofing for the Dane to retain his honors
