Hopes Ex-Champion of Lightweight Ring Will Give Up Fighting and Return HOme-Ad WOlgast Won Fight After Forty Rounds of

Chicago, Feb. 23-''This is the saddest moment of my life said Mrs. Nelson mother of Battling Nelson, at her home in HegeWish, as she strove to drive back the tears that coursed down her face last night after she heard of her sons defeat by Ad Vol gast in San Francisco.
 q hope Battling will give up box ing now He has been so busy writ ing and travelling in the last year that l don't think he prepared long enough for the match. No one can ever accuse him of a dishonest act, though, and I dare say he is greater in defeat than had he won from his rival We watched all afternoon and long till supper time for word from out west and all of us looked for the same message he had sent us so Of ten telling of his victory. hope he was not hurt Battling always would stand up and fight until it seemed ue uIuSG 5heel ONSl dLu ult. c4 iltbl'9 this lesson will teach him to give lip prize fighting.

 Sympathy for Loser.
 San Francisco, Cal, Feb 23.-The name oftenest on the tongues of fight devotes today is, strangely enough, not that of the new lightweight champion, Wolgast, but that of Nell son, whose game struggle against inc vitable defeat was the feature of yes terday's battle at Richmond. The for mer champion and his manager ex- pected to leave this morning for Chi cago, but their departure will be postponed until Nelson learns the sta tus of his theatrical engagements. The total receipts were $37,750, which leaves a good margin for the promo ters as it is estimated the fight cost them $20,000. The moving pictures will prove valuable. Nelson bought 35 per cent interest in them for $750. Nelson gives the conqueror due credit, but maintains he trained too long and he was down to weight too soon.
