BOTH FIGHTERS SURE 'OF WINNING
Betting is 10 Nelson olgast Tough Specimen Will He Stay 20 Rounds?-City Baseball League Had Meeting.


 1 Ad Woigast. the Milwaukee boy, is rapidly gaining in popular estimation as the toughest opponent Battling Nell \ son has had in a long time. They are to meet at Los Angeles this after | noon for the worlds lightweight cham pionship and many shrewd ring fol- lowers are inclined to favor Vol gast The match is to start at seven o'clock, Norwich time. Wolgast looks the part of a rugged youth He is the very impersOnation of power, and to the casual observer looks to be much sturdier than the great Nelson.
 Nelson overlaps wolgast in the mat ter of height at least three inches and has a longer reach, but these are about the only physical advantages that the thicker through the chest than Nelson and his arms appear to be far heavier and stronger than the Danes. Ads shoulders are as wide as a church door, and the muscles under the brown skin of them glisten and wriggle like a basket of snakes when Wolgast is tussling about with his sparring mates.
 So far as arm power is concerned, Wolgast is the master of Nelson or any other lightweight Ad has the fore arms and biceps of a middleweight, without a trace of being musclerb bound.
 In the matter of chest and torso measurements this Wolgast is all that any critic of form could wish for. Wolgast's chest is as broad and strong as double shield, and the muscles on Ads abdomen indicate that he can take considerable punishment about the midriff without flinching.
 The Wolgest legs are also powerful machines and he has good, solid foot ing and a deal of pedal speed So far as looks are concerned Wolgast is the ideal fighting type and Ad heightens the impression when he gets under way
 Once in full action it is almost im- possible to measure the speed of Vol gast. He hops about and his blows sputter through the air like a bob cats.
 Fight fans are coming around to the opinion that the contest will develop into one of stamina. and right now they are trying to figure out how much stamina Wolgast has. Ad seems satisfied himself that so far as the matter of endurance is concerned, he is the equal of Nelson. but many light fans doubt this.
 Nelson and Wolgast are well under the required 133 pounds ringside weight the champion being the heay- fer by a few ounces.
 Wolgast said Monday night:
 'T desire to win this championship in a clean, SportSmanlige mannerIthat is, don't want to win it on foul such tactics I shall overloolk-them."
 Nelson also expressed his determine tion to waive fouls unless they were of serious nature. The advance Both men are confident of winning.
 Betting on the result is heavy, the odds favoring Nelson at 10 to z. but dence. Considerable wagering on the length of the contest is registered even money being offered that Wolgast will stay 25 rounds

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
MARKET TRIVIAL.
On Account of Holiday Conditions
 Many Members Absent s

New York, Feb. 21.-A scanty atten- dance of board room traders at the stock exchange had the market almost entirely to themselves today Many members went home Saturday with the determination not to return until after tomorrow's holiday. The market was inert and trivial in face of these conditions.
 The movement of prices reflected no important outside influences or judg- ments on affairs. The efforts of the board room contingent to move prices met with little success. The fuctua- tion of the market was limited in either direction.
 Railroad traffic officials sent in cheerful reports of freight business in sight. Stocks ended the day not far from Saturdays closing prices.

MAck,s 1sc2 pENNANT WINNERs.
connie's Greatest of Managerial Feats Dan Murphy Was the Man for Second Base.

Few persons realize the disadvan- tage to which the Philadelphia Ath- letics were put when the courts decid- ed in the spring of 1902 that Lajoie, Flick, Bernhard, Fraser and Duggleby could not longer ploy with Connie Mack's team With one stroke the courts took away MaclS's right fielder, his second baseman and practically all his pitching staff In addition it might be stated that Lajoie had been the champion batsrnan of the league the preceding year. while Flick was close at his heels, besides being one of the star base runners of the country.
 Connie never whimpered though, but got busy immediately, and when the season ended he had the pennant winners. He had Pete Husting. Fred Mitchell and Eddie Plank left as pitch CTS He picked up Pitcher Wilson somewhere off the lots and kidnapped Rube Wadden from Los Angeles Rube proceeded to win more than three-quarters of his gams and Ben Shibe. swears to this day that it was Wadden. Harry Davis and Dave Fultz that won the championship for his team.
 Hard pressed for second saclker. Mack first tried Count Castro. The nephew of the late ruler of Venezuela failed to make good and Frank Bon ner formerly of the Maps, was tried. He would not keep in condition, and in despair Connie landed Danny Mur phy, from Norwich of the Connecticut league In his first game Murphy made six hits off the opposing pitch CTS beside the one he made with Mack and the Philadelphia fans. That set tied the vacancy caused by the de- parture of Lajoie. To fill Flick's shoes he moved Seybold to right field and sent Davy sFultz, who had been on the roster as an utility infielder. to center. Fultz proceeded to prove his skill as an aIl-around player, being getters in the histor-- of the organiza- ton. As for SeyboId. he simply killed the ball as he did the preceding sea son.
 Referring to the way the Athletics came out on. top after having been all but counted out, Ben Shibe said at Pittsburg last week:
 T think that was the greatest feat in the history of the American league. But we had a wonderful manager in Connie Mack, a splendid field general in Harry Davis. a phenomenal pitcher in Wadden and a heady man on the bases with Fultz. The rest of the team was well balanced and of course they helpedv'

pETRoIT's oPPoNENTs MUST
 BE 20 PER CENT. STRONGER Jennings Revisws the FieId-Thinks Boston Dangerous Contender for Pe0nanf

| Hughey Jennings has arrived in De-
 tro1t: and this is the way the manager of the three-time American league pennant winners sizes up the coming campaign of that organization:
 | Any club that beats Detroit will have to be 20 per cent. stronger than last year. Boston should be a strong factor in the race, as Patsy Donovan mas many young, husky players who have speed and ambition, two great things in basebtll. As for the Athlet- les, ca4not see where they will be as strong as last year. don't think there to repeat the record he hung up As for Bender and Plank, they are getting old, and they may not be as good as on the Philadelphia team-too many, In fact. to make the team as strong as last season.
 'Hughey Duffy should make a good manager for Chicago, but the outfield of the White Sox is weak, the infieId doubtful while the batteries ar excel lent L understand they will have an entirely lew infeld, with the possible exception of PurteIl. Their pitchers should show up strong, but if they have the same outfield they had last year there is only a chance that it will be weaker.
 Cleveland ns an uncertainty. Some of it's pitchers are old, and that makes them uncertain. I am much surprised to hear that McGuire expects to switch Lajoie from second to first base.
 1'New York is hardly strong enough to be a pennant contender" continued Jennings, Tt has not improved it's team much over last year. so far as can see I don't think that team or Washington, or St. Louis will make much trouble, though the Washingtons should SOW up considerably stronger than last year. St. Louis is entirely an experiment. Most of it's veterans are gone and little is known of the men who will take their places.
 "But there is always the law of chance to consider, however. Luck is a great factor in baseball. The fight for this years pennant will not be a sinch, It will be a hard struggle as hard as in any of the last three years, but I am satisfied with our prospects"
