DAN teD. II.
NPINION appears to be divided
W here as to whether Battling Mel
son will retain the lightweight
title tomorrow when he faces Ad VOL
CAST, the milwaukee Wildcat" in a
fo~rty-five-round battle over in the new
Richmond arena.
Nelson is the logical choice, but since
Wolgast has been ON the ground he has
been gaining admirers rapidly, and to-
day there are those who predict a new
champion, and go so far as to say that
Bat will not be able 10 go the route.
The betting on the fight has increased
by leaps and bounds during the past
t~wenty-four hours, and the chances are
now that 1t will be 10 to 8 by the time
the fighters enter the ring at Richmond
tomorrow afternoon. Commissioner
Tom Corbett is the most surprised man
in town. He felt certain that it would
drop from 10 to 6 to 10 to A, but instead
it will go the other way. Today Cor
bett announced that he had run u Of
Nelson money and that he had several
thousand dollars to be wagered on the
fighting lad from the Beer City.
The reason for this is the steady
stream of Wolgast money which is
coming in from Los Angeles. Down
South the sports believe that Wolgast
is the greatest little fighter who ever
drew on a glove. They cleaned up on
him when he upset Lew Powell's cham
p%ionship aspirations here three months
ago, and they are willing to take an
other chance.
Wolgast has been below the 133-pound
mark for the past three days. He let
up on his training pcrceptibly yestcr-

DROPS OUT.

Frederick j. Seyfarth, the Diocesan
Union five-mile champion, who is a
member of the st. COLUMBIA c.. c.,
dropped out in the second mile of the
five-mile handicap race at the Spanish
War Veterans indoor athletic meet at
the Twenty-second Regiment race in
New York on Saturday night. The
starters handicapped Seyfarth too
heavily and after making a game fight
for two miles he decided that it would
be useless. None of the other local ath-
letes finished in the money.
