move. Members of the state fencl-

POINT RICHMOND, Cal, Feb. 22.
Ad Wolgast of Michigan wrestled
the lightweight championship from
Battling Nelson in the fortieth
round of scheduled forty-five
round bout today. Nelson was saw
ed an inevitable knockout by ref
cree Eddie Smith who stopped the
fight when the former champion
was on the point of collapse He
was covered with his own blood,
which also smeared the ring on all
sides. Nelson was battered almost
beyond recognition and when he
sought to shake hands with the vic
tor he was declared to have re-
ceived the worst beating in the his
tory of the ring.
Only once during the fight did
Nelson have chance-in the twen-
ty-second round-when with a sting.
ing right cross to the jaw he stag
gered his opponent. Before the
round closed he dropped Wolgast in
the middle of the ring with a repe-
tition of the same blow, and three
seconds were tolled before Wolgast
! regained his feet The crowd be-
gan to prepare to leave the arena,
when word went from bench to
bench through the spectators, that
another boy had fallen victim to
the wonderful Dane. But in the
next round Wolgast recuperated
and from then on slowly, but sure.
! ly wore Nelson down.
For twelve rounds from the fin
ish Nelson seemed bewildred and
his blows were sent as though they
seemed like weights on his hands.
From the thirtith round Nelson
could hardly see and the left side
of his face had lost all semblanee
of it's former contour. He stagger-
ed and hung on. In the thirty
lseventh he was all but out, but
survived the round. In the thirty
eighth John Robinson, Nelson s
manager, wanted to throw the
