WOLGAST AND MORAN ON EDGE TO BATTLE FOR i
LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP THIS AFTERNOONS
"YOU NEVER GAN TELL ABOUT
PAPER DOPE" DECLARE
THE FANS, so HUNDREDS
OF THEM BET ON BRITISH
FIGHTER TODAY.
BY RINGSIDER.

SAN FRANCISCO, July A.
There are a good many fight fol-
lowers here who wouldn't fall
dead IL Owen Moran knocked AID
Wolgast cold in their 20-round
battle here today.
There are quite a number who
think he's the lad to do 1t. On
dope it looks like Wolgast. but the
Moran hackers say you never can
tell and that paper dope doesn't
amount to a rap anyway"
1t will be a scrap between a
boxer and an out-and-out fighter.
Wolgast is the fighter, man with
a kick in either hand, able to land
almost from any position, and or
dinarily clever.
Moran is the boxer, fast as
lightning, with a perfect defense
and fair hitting powers. Mixed up
in the dope on the scrap Is the
old warrior, Battling Nelson. VOL
CAST battered him almost to a
pulp over a year ago, the battle
being stopped in the 42nd round,
when Nelson could barely raise his
hands and was staggering around
the ring like a drunken man.
That fight gave Wolgast the light
weight crown.
Then came Moran. With his
half circle swing he dropped Mel
son in the 18th round of their
fight in San Francisco. He bat
tered him down five times before
the Dane was finally counted out,
That scrap pushed Moran into the
front ranks of pugilism. He was
the only man who ever knocked
out the Durable Dane.
On the score of condition, 1t Is
any mans fight. Both are in good
shape, both have trained faithful
ly and consistently, both have
their hearts set on winning.
The betting favors Wolgast. be-
cause he is the champion and has
demonstrated repeatedly that he
is no "cheese champion, as Mel.
son called him, but a sure enough
wild cat" who knows the ring
game
No matter what the outcome
everything points to a real SCRAP
some milling totally different
than the spectacle under a blazing
Nevada sun at Reno, just a yeaI

on a 15-day option, then let him
go back to Oakland. Oakland, as
he expected. released him, and
Dug signed him up, getting a good
pitcher for nothing. Wigs has
pitched eight victories and no de-

UP in Victoria the newspapers
and score boards today have Ia
coma In second place.
But IL that funny looking sort
of a game that Umpire Doc Hig-
gins handed to his teammates on
a silver platter last Thursday
stands, Tacoma is leading the
Northwest league this minute.
For Tacoma's Tigers waited pa
tiently till they got home and
then right out in front of all that
bunch of people they stood up
and hammered Vancouver, the
league leader, to its proud Cana
dian knees.
A one to nothing game yester-
day-and pippin. The fans got
their moneys worth.
Was Hard Fought.
Vancouver tried so hard to win
and pretty near did, several
times. Snappy, machine-perfect
fielding and high class twirling by
Mister Bert Hall pulled the game
out of the fire and the fans off
the anxious seat several times.
No one was sure of the result
till the game was over.
Clarke, eX-U. of w. pitcher,
pitched a fine game and deserved
victory, but he didn't get it. He
held the Tigers to three hits,
while the Beavers found Hall five
times.
Again and again Rocky and
Coleman, the cripples, cut off hits
with perfect fielding. Fisher play
ed an errorless game at first.
How IL Happened.
Doesn't take long to tell how
the scores came. Tacoma's run
came in the fourth on Coleman s
hair line three-bagger, one-eighth
of an inch inside the first base
line. Rocky brought him in on a
perfect sacrifice. That's all, for
Tacoma.
In the second Brinker got to
second, but Abbott went out to
the score board and picked off
Scharnweber's fly. In the seventh
both Swain and Brinker got on
bases, but Scharnweber couldn't
even touch the ball. Bennett JAM
med out a two-bagger in the
ninth, but Hall wouldn't, made
Swain fan and James flied out to
M. Lynch.
