Brown or Hogan, II Appears, h slated
for a chance at the world's lightweight

little IL he flowed Hogan's name away
on his X. o. list. Hogan Is well thought
OF In his W country. California. Brown
needs a victory over him to convince
people on the Coast that he'd have a
good chance with Wolgast.
As for plain dope, Brown and Hogan
fought a very ven fight when they met
before. Hogan knocked X. o. dizzy in
the first round. X. o. recovered, and
after that It was turn and turn about
with the rushing and rallying and slug

by Wolgast In two rounds. He was
forced to make the weight In a short

him against the ropes. hammered away
until he suddenly grew arm weary. In
the second round wolgast recovered and
rendered Hogan helpless with heavy
body blows. Hogan stayed on his feet,
but was so far gone that the referee
stopped the fight. Since that time he
has fought a couple CT fairly good men
and has shown increased cleverness. He
has been training quietly for q long
while. and Is In good condition. so liz

IL has fought one ten round fight, with
Bedell. proving hat the hand Is as good
as ever. On performances Browns
chance looks best. But Hogan Is fairly
clever. and Matt Wells and two or
three other clever boxers have made
X. o. look like a foundering amateur.
