WOLGAST ANOTHER
RING SURPRISE
Tad Says 1t Is the Unexpected
That Happens in the
Game.
BY TAD.

New York, March AIN the squared cir
Gle is no fountain of youth. We hear OF
a great boy. We read later that he has
had success some time, or again he is a
champion. We know that there is no
one in the world who can beat him. He
is ;nvincible. Time passes, and all the
while, in the smaller cities, younger lads
are learning the game; They 1lght II out
among themselves. They tour the coun-
try, winning or losing, and hunting Tor
bigger game. Suddenly day comes when
we pick up the paper and learn that our
great champion has been defeated by
boy we know very little Of
Almost an unknown. The unknown be-
comes a wonder, makes his place secure,
and-in time loses as he won, to new
conner.
The history of pugilism is made up of
surprises by unknowns. AID Wolgast is
scarcely known to the ordinary readers OF
sporting pages. He was a shOrt-ender
against Nelson, and when the match was
made the wise ones said: "Oh, another
soft one for the Dane"
Battling Nelson, himself, was the most
mysterious person that ever landed in
Frisco after beating Spider WEIGH. The
westerners knew Welch and thought that
any boy who could beat him was good
enough for big go, but at that the Dane
was on the short end in every fight he
had up to the very late one
Mccoy an Unknown.
Kid Mccoy was no cold storage egg
when he knocked out Tommy Ryan. Bob
Fitzsimmons was called the 'Red-headed
Freak when he beat Jack Dempsey at
New Orleans. He had just landed here
from Australia and had two bum fights,
but no one knew anything about him.
Jim COrbett surprised the world by
beating Sullivan. He was known as
kid with a pOrpadOur from Hayes Val
ley, in Frisco, but his record in the ring
was as mysterious as a gas bill
Jeff was a Los Angeles boob when he
came here to beat Fitzsimmons. Very few
knew anything about him except that he
barely beat Bob Armstrong here in a ten
round bout.
Who was Stanley Ketchel when he beat
Joe Thomas on the coast? We never
heard of him until he fought Thomas that
draw at Marysville. After that he went
through the middleweight class like a
Mauser bullet through a cut Of cheese.
1t is very seldom that the expected
happens in championship battles. A
champion invariably loses to a soft one.
We call him a soft one at that moment,
but later he usually comes through and
proves that he is a great fighter.

SAY HE DREW RAZOR WHEN
GIRL ORDERED HIM AWAY.
Ardent Sutton Is Put Under
Bonds by Court.

John Cravante is forbidden by law
to make o to the young woman of his
admiration and for six months must
maintain the peace, which will consist
of his keeping away from pretty 49,
year-old Assinta Decongerier, of ~
Bruce street, who says that he drew a
razor and threatened to slash her up
with it unless she would allow him to
see her.
John is % and lives at 1872 Bruce
street. He started to keep company
with the pretty girl sometime ago, but
the mother of Assinta did not approve
of him, and on account of his record
abroad, which is alleged to be not just
what Assinta's mother desired for the
sutton of her daughter, ordered the girl
not to go with him..
John kept away for a while, but on
Friday evening as she was returning
from a store in the neighborhood to
her home he met her. 1t was then, she
says, he drew the razor and made the
threats. In the Fourth Precinct Court
this morning John told Judge Herr that
he had been meeting the girl on the sly
and denied her story, claiming that he
never carried a razor.
Judge Herr ordered him to keep the
peace, binding him in bail of 500 for
six months, and ruled that until AS
sinta's mother should approve of him
that he would have to keep away from
the girl.
