of beating out the Argonauts of Canada,
who were touted TO win the event. The
Arundels looked to have victory assured

men were pulling perfect stroke. but
they appeared to lack the squirt in the

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5.-Ad Wolgast
| began to win in the first round OF his
fight with Owen Moran yesterday and
kept on improving his lead until the thir-
teenth round, when he battered Moran to
the floor with a volley of rights to the
stomach. followed by couple Of left
overland swings on the jaw.
1t was palpable from the moment they
hooked up in the first mauling match at
close quarters that Wolgast was the
more rugged of the pair. He may have
been tired once or twice during the con-
test, owing to the grueling pace, but
there was a doubt about 1t, whereas there
was never an atom of doubt as to the
way things were going with Moran. He
looked distressed during each resting
spell after the fifth round. while across
the ring Wolgast. snappy-eyed and MINI
BILE. was chatting to friends in sound of
his voice.
Wolgast simply wore Moran down In
the close fighting. doing his best work
with a punch which. Is known to the
fighting men as loop the loop" 1t is a
right handler which curlS around en-
| tangled arms and lands on the face.
Wolgast used this punch with such force
dripped from his nose and mouth. When
wolgast was later working the loop the
| loop he was hammering Moran's body
with forceful rights.
1t seemed that the closer they got the
harder were Wolgast's punches.
Moran's Blows Lacked Steam.

Wolgast went after Moran with blood
in his eye in the thirteenth round. A cou-
pie Of we'll placed right uppercuts failed
to stop Wolgast, who was on top OF his
man like a terrier tackling rat. Moran
was battered along the ropes. His guard
was demoralized with right body punches.
and he was sent down, openmouthed.
with a couple of left swings on the jaw.
The fight ended right there.
The cleancut victory of Wolgast further
popularized him among the fight fans of
| the coast, where he was already an idol.
| The champion proved beyond question
| that he is the greatest lightweight of
the day Wolgast thoroughly outfought
and outgeneraled one of the TOUCHES,
lads in his class, for few of the other
lightweights desired Morans game. In
the Britisher Wolgast gave battle to the
most seriously regarded lad in line for
the lightweight crown. The champion so
far outclassed the challenger that It was

the light of Wolgast's great showing
yesterday afternoon. But prior to the
battle, when the winner was still in
doubt, there were many ready to put in
bid for the job in which Moran failed.
Most notable of these was Knockout
Brown of New York, whose challenge
sent by Danny Morgan was read at the
ringside. Before engaging with Moran
the champion declared that in case Of
victory he would be willing to give a
chance to any opponent entitled to the
honor by past deeds of valor. Brown
may be the next to be accommodated
II promoters and public believe him the
logical challenger
Moran and Wolgast attracted one of
the best houses that ever turned out
to see lightweight championship con-
test on the coast. The receipts were
estimated at between $4,000 and
$4,000. At 1870 o'clock the prospective
bleacherites swooped down upon the
ticket sellers in such numbers that
police aid had to be invoked to MAIN
tain order and alignment.
Betting continued brisk right up to
the beginning of the battle, with VOL
CAST favorite at 10 to g. Moran's fol-
lowing snapped up the short end with
avidity. One of the largest individual
wagers recorded was $4,000 on the
champion. his hacker taking $1,000 for
his money. 1t was rumored at the
ringside that a bet of $1,000 to $4,000
had been made just about the time the
boys entered the ring
me weather was partially cloudy. with
gusty. fog-laden breeze blowing direct
ly into the arena. Referee Welsh an
nounced before the battle began that he
would overlook trivial fouls. but that de-
hberate intent to incapacitate would be
met with prompt disqualification
There was dirty work on both sides in
the fourth round. which was fought
mainly on the pull and haul principle.
Referee Welsh shook his finger at Moran
as the latter went to his corner. and
Owen said in defense OF his tactics:

They went at 1t earnestly again In the
fifth. and while Wolgast landed by far
the more frequently. Moran scored in
more telling fashion than he had pre-.
viously done While Ad was going in
cFouched and intent upon working close
enough to start his loop, Moran met him
with clean swapping right on the Jaw

and Moran came back with another right
uppercut.
They increased their speed as the round
wore on. and their actions when the
gong called them apart favored the i'm
preston that Wolgast was standing a
heart breaking pace better than his rival
AID fairly skipped to his corner and be-
gan chatting with men outside the ropes
who had their money on him. Moran
strobe in weary fashion to his corner
and dropped heavily into his chair. That
he was distressed was palpable to all.
Following corner instructions possibly.
Wolgast steadied himself in the sixth
round and allowed the other man to
make the pace. Moran did not cause
things to hum after that. After few
tentative passes and little sidestepping
Moran stood away until the champion
took 1t into his head to enliven matters
When they went at each other the scor-
ing was fairly even.
The seventh round saw the fiercest
rally of the fight up to that point. They
clashed in pretty near every corner of
the ring in turn, their shoulders jerking
as they tugged their arms free and lash
ed out at each other. Again Wolgast
steadied himself. but only for q brief
session. He wedged Moran into a corner
and hammered at the ribs with the right.
Moran went on the defensive and sent in
