Fargo fight fans have seen the
Nelson Wolgast lightweight champ
ionship battle. That is they have seen
the moving pictures.
The pictures do not, to some ex-
tent, substantiate the story Of the
fight by rounds After wading through
about a half hours training camp
dope, arena pictures, and views Of
promoters and boosters, the fight
starts.
Throughout the entire contest Bat
Ting Nelson, the gamest fighter that
ever entered a squared circle, lead the
contest. In the 22d, 23d, and cath
rounds he showered blow after blow
on the Milwaukee lad and II was only
that element luck that saved knock
out.
Wolgast appears perfect type OF
athlete. He Is muscled in beautiful
style with arms nearly double the size
Of the former champions. Dancing
around the arena from the first to the
last round he displayed great footwork,
at the same time forcing Nelson to
chase him. Although the last few
rounds were very indistinct, the little
fellow appeared as fresh in the 40th
round as in the 10th.

BADGER TEAM IS
HANDED A JOLT

rector zen Eyck that in all probability
Coacn Lathrop, who recently took hold
mere would not be with his men again
Ior several weeks, possibly not until
the end OF the track season.
The coach contracted cold while
lnstructing the men on Thursday and
on the following day was taken to the
hospital. In his absence, the duties OF
coaching will fall upon the shoulders
OF Captain Dohmen, the Badger miller.
and, while he is thoroughly acquainted
with the situation, the loss of the
trainer, coming as 1t does after the
announcement OF former Cantain
Osthoff that he would not connete

a low ebb

nights work the big f1axen-h haired
youth was clearing twenty-one feet
with ease, and the coach expects him
TO register over the twenty two mark
with little more practice.
Coach Barry has picked his baseball
team which will battle against the
maroons on Wednesday. He Is un-
settled as to who he will select as the
twirler, but with F'ucik and Nash. the
Badger followers feel safe, whichever
one he selects. Kleinpell will start be-
hind the bat If his ankle is strong
enough to warrant it and in case the
injured member is still too weak. Dorr

The infield viii be made up of Hor-

Horner, shortstop; Pergrande, third

NO GAMES IN The
EAST YESTERDAY

New York, April 19.-Heavy rains
and water-soaked grounds made 1t i'm
possible to play any of the baseball
games scheduled in the east yesterday
in either of the National or American
leagues. If weather permits these
games will be played off today, but
the official prediction is more rain for
another twenty-four hours.
In New York the National season
was to have opened with two games,
one at the Pole grounds in Manhattan
between the Bostons and the New
Yorks, and one in Brooklyn with the
Philadelphias. The Bostona were
storm bound here all day in their hotel
and the Philadelphias did not even
come to town.
In Boston, where the American lea
que was to have opened with the Bos-
tons playing against washington,
there was another disappointment, and
at Shibe field in Philadelphia, where
the Philadelphias were to have opened
with the New Yorks, il was no better.
No date has been set for the playoff
OF today's postponed game between
the Boston and the New York teams.
but that between the Brooklyn and
Philadelphia clubs will be settled
July 90.
The Philadelphia National league
club has asked for waivers on Otto
Deininger, an outfielder, and IL is likely
that he will join the Jersey City team
which is also dickering for Meyers Of
the Boston Americans, and Knight of
the New York Americans. President
Lynch of the American league an
nounced today that he would not allow
his umpires to referee any college
games during the time they are under
contract with his organization.
