ALL hail the new king of the light

a waukee, who defeated that
\ n sturdy warrior. Bat Nelson, IN
California on Washington's birthday!
The recent battle was only another
case Of the inevitable. 1t was a battle
Of youth against age. and youth won.
It was a battle OF giant reserve power
and gameness against more reserve
power and gameness: but. above all.
one Of the gladiators had youth. II
won the lightweight championship for
Wolgast.
The Dane fought the battle that has
always won for him heretofore. always
boring in to wear down his opponent.
only TO have enough reserve. power to
knock the other man out when he was
all in. He fought that way against
Wolgast and lost the title.
And all this because Wolgast had
youth and all the stamina that goes
with it. The Milwaukee boy stood all
that the nervy Dane could give. Lead
Ing all the time, Nelson bored In only
to find that when he was exhausted the
young opponent before him was almost
as fresh as when he entered the ring.
Wolgast is a fighter like Nelson. He
relies OH his strength to win for him,
not being overburdened with clever
ness. The Battler underestimate this
asset of his opponent as well as his
own reserve power. He was matching
his former great physical powers, worn
and torn by thirteen years experience
in the ring, against all the vigor of
youth and the added stamina Of
chance 10 win a championship.
His reserve power did not respond to
the summons. The Dane, weak, bat
tered and torn, was unable to Withstand
the onslaught of his younger opponent.
He was beaten at his own style of
fighting. and he lost the lightweight
championship Of the world
With the passing Of Nelson pugilism
loses one Of her shining lights. Never
in the history of fistiana has man
won for himself so many personal
friends as the Dane. and this principal
~ because he was game and had the
physical power TO stand the gan.
Never in any battle did the brave
old Dane take a backward step until
the fight with Wolgast- And then only
when both eyes were closed. his face
torn TO ribbons. his ears swollen so
that they could not hear, all his re-
serve power gone. did the mighty lion
of Denmark stumble blindly backward
under the onslaught of the dancing.

His face almost unacceptable after
the terrible beating he had taken. as
helpless as baby, carried 70 his dress

JefFs Bio Fortune.


When one stops to consider that Jim
Jeffries just picked up $4,000 for show
ing the people that he was in condition
to fight Johnson and is sure of $4,000
more even if he loses the big battle
and possibly 100000 if he wins, one is
bound to be envious. That is what one
would call making money quick.
But the immense sums of money which
both Jeffries and Johnson have al
ready pulled down and are going to re-
ceive in the future are good examples
Of the increasing popularity Of sports.
Why, there are people who would go to
see jeff in a vaudeville turn one night,
take in Johnson's show the next, later
on see them fight, then view the NOV
ing pictures of the battle and finally
pay an exorbitant figure to see the win
ner go on the stage and bow to q
vaudeville audience and gather in $4,000
a week. Such is life in America today.
The average college professor who
spent years in preparing himself for his
honorable career is fortunate If he re-
ceives as much money salary for one
year as Jeffries and Johnson get for
a single week. And just think Of the
many high positions of trust held by
citizens who govern this great country
of ours which pay less per annum than
Johnson and Jeffries will receive for a
single nights work next July. Truly.
one would say it is a funny world. and
some of US VIII labor on for years while
the Jeffs and the Johnsons viii spring
up and grab the money which we will
ingly give out Of our hard earned wage.
