Wolgast has wonderful constitution the

for should he be unable to stop his man
within a certain limit he is bound to
feel the effects Of lack of condition and
will then fall a victim to his opponent
| Many a good boxer has been beaten by
the so-called dubs because of overcon-

but the highest class of boxer When
Freddy Welsh heard about Wolgast' s
short training proposition he said: WELL
that suits me, for may spoil all of ADS

Jimmy Dunn, manager of Johnny Kill

at New Orleans at 100 pounds, as that
will suit both Of them nicely.
