 Brown Put it All Over the New Lightweight Champion

New York World-Brown made Lightweight Champion Wolgast look like a raw amateur and gave him the worst trouncing he ever has had. cisively from beginning to end and at no time had Brown in danger.
 New York Sun-Brown carried the battle to Wo1gast in every round and beat him all the way.
 New York Herald-Wo1gast seemed unable to fathom Browns left hand jabs and swings and demonstrated that he is no sure thing lightweight champion.
 New York Tribune-Wolgast was outpointed, out fought and outboxed.
 New York Ameriean-Brown battered the champion much as he pleased.
 New York Press-Brown made Vol gaSt look as cheap as old potatoes in Canada.
 Philadelphia Record-Wolgast's work was possibly the worst exhibition ever given here by a man holding the title.
 Philadelphia Inquirer-Brown not only held the champion safe but was entitled to the popular verdict at the finish.
 Philadelphia Press-(By Kid McCoy) -Wolgast was not the man that he was a year ago when he whipped Nel- son. The long lay off showed its ef- fects.
 Philadelphia, Feb. 9-Ad Wo1gost, today, attempted to explain his poor showing against Knockout Brown of New York, last night, by saying that he didn't take any chances with his arm, which was recently broken.
 "The fight was a sort of tryout of my arm,'' the lightweight champion declared. "I only put it to full test once or twice but now that am sat- isfied 1t is all right, I would like an- other match with Brown"
 Wolgast's explanation does not meet the requirements of any of the big crowd that last night received the surprise off, their lives when Brown "put it all over" the champion in their six round meeting at Jack OBrien's "parlors.''
 Nothing will satisfy the eastern sports now but to see Brown in an extended bout. The limited bout was supposed to be all in the champions favor, owing to his greater cleverness, yet Brown bored in from the first and had a shade in every round. Wolgast gave the sorriest championship exhibi- tion ever seen in Philadelphia. Either he wasn't trying or he is a shine champion. His supposed cleverness was but little more than match for Browns recognized clumsiness and he flounced through the first rounds more like a novice than the conqueror of Bat Nelson for the title.
 The champion seemed to be afraid of the awkward lad from Gotham and gave way whenever Brown rushed him. The sophorific reputation of Browns left arm had preceded him and Wolgast was decidedly chary of fighting toe to toe.
 Brown Sought his customary slam bang and apparently careless battle and was no better than in a number of his fights in New York. That is what makes the showing of Wolgast all the more inexplicable. It is bare ly possible that Wolgast was being 'laid up' for a future killing, but, whatever the cause, he certainly lost all the caste he ever possessed with New York and Philadelphia sports.
 The card that Jack O'Brren pre- scented was impressive, the money be- ing cut as follows: Wolgast s5,500; Brown $2,300; Jeannette s75O; Barry $700; O'Toole $650; Stanley $700; Car roll $250 and O'Leary $200.
