COULSON MUST BATTLE
CONLEY FOR THE TITLE

people who think that they know every
thing, has been separated from n large
part % his coin through his anxiety TO
get more. After he had accumulated a
good fat bark roll several real estate
brokers convinced him that Hegcswi-h
his home town. was about 10 b, c, ne n
great manufacturing center.
They sold him n lot Of land and then
some contractors induced him 10 build
a lot of houses 10 accommodate the
workmen who would DO employed in
the plants. That was three or four
years sgo, aud Nelson's houses are
without tenants and Heeeswish IL 10

A great ovation awaits wolgast when
he gets back To Cadillas, Mich. where
his family lives. and at Milwaukee,
where he really began his career, When
he started, wolRast was regarded ms "a
joke by many fight fans. Tom Jones
was one Of the few who saw n future
for the M~ichigander aud took wolgast
in hand. Previous 10 that time Ad had
been doing some agfNing bu, made so
little money that he had 10 sling beer
in a Milwaukee garden between bouts.
After wolgast got started his rise
was rapid. Matty Baldwin is credited
with fighting him a twelve round draw
" Boston. hut Boston decisions sre not
taken seriously outside Of the Hub.
Wolgast has n great future before
him In the fight game, aud Il Is to he
hoped that he will not forget wat
Jones has done for him. Sometimes
lighters do forget, and sometimes IL Is

The possible exception Of Freddie Welsh
and I belicve that he can beat Welsh.
While woigast didn Z get much cash
nut Of his victory over Nelson, because
the Battler is n shrewd matchmaker and
always he copied the long end OF the
purse, win, loose or draw, he will reap
n rich harvest for the next few months.
Today he Is one Of the most popular
lighters In the United States. He will
have offers VI many matches because
there are at least u half dozen men in
his class who are willing to take u
chance with him.
Joe Cans is the FIRST TO go after the
new champion. Joe wants 10 bet real

enough to beat some Of the second rat

"The Old Marster" was without =
peer In his day. Ten years q he
could have beaten woigast and Nelson
in one night and then have been stroae

it has been the all night crap games and
other forms of dissipation, many Of
them much worse, which have sent Cans
to the discard.

the man who heats wolRs-t for the title
