Weight No Object.
'''rhe weight? Say Woisast could lick
Mcfarland if he had eighteen arms and
weighed a ton, and 1t wouldn't make any
difference if the distance was one or
hundred pounds. That Wo,gast is a ter
rible boy, and l don't know any boxer
in the world anywhere near his weight
That has chance to beat him. He'll
beat Mcfarland like q good housewife
beats an egg.
Though Jones denies strenuously that
there is the least bit of misunderstand-
ing between himself and Wogast, those
VINO read between the lines seem to opine
that all is not well so far as the entente
cordiale between them is concerned.
Like many another champion, Wolxast
is a very willfui young man, and does
not care to brook any interference with
his imperial will. and ii doesn't matter
whether his manager or any one else
tries to put interfering boots on him.
AS a boxer Wolgast has had the most
phenomenal success. and naturally
enough this has had the effect of raising
his own opinion of himself Not that
WolSast is swel-headed. Not at all. In
his case ii is merely matter of eXag
gerated ego. AID is still a boy. and he's
made good. He cannot be blamed for
thinking pretty well of himself He has
money and fame. and with such assets
any lad Of twenty-three is sure to hold
himself the greatest man the world has
ever produced since the days of the great
Nicodemus Taking a random guess,
well bet that Wolgast thinks Napoleon
looked something like himself.
Still Wo,gast owes practically all he
has to Jones. AS manager Jones has
been eminently careful of the interests
of Woigast. He has even gone so far
as to lose some of his own popularity
with the promoters and public by urging
too strongly the Wolgast interests.
1t can be said for Jones that he is
very faithful manager, and without the
careful nursing the La Sale man gave
the present champion it is doubtful if
Wolgast would ever have amounted to
anything near what he is now.
Jones Discovered Him.
Jones was the real discoverer of VOL
CAST. When Tom saw Ad box he realized
that there was great material in the little
fellow. With this realization heavy on
him Jones set about building up Wolgast.
And Tom has a way about him of get
ting what he wants when he wants it.
He started to sing the praises of Wolga,st
when Wolgast was merely novice. He
kept at it. He worked day and night with
the promoters to get Wolgast matches,
and Jones was very careful match
maker. He always saw to II that Ad
never got anything worse than the best
of il in all the matchmaking.
Jones engineered the deal that secured
Wogast ten-round engagement with
Bat Nelson. At that time no one thought
Wolgast had any more chance to beat
Nelson than an armless man would have
of digging the Panama cenal in one year
with toothpick. Jones had faith in
Woigast He advised his friends that
AID would beat Nelson in that ten-round
affair. Wolgast did beat Nelson. Jones
was INDICATED. Jones careful work and
ADVERTISING camnaipD in that
Nelson bout was the turning point in
WoIsasts career. AID jumped into prom
inence over night
Since that day Jones has kept Wolgast
in the foreground. He never let up on
Nelson until he forced the Battler into
return engagement which gave Wolgast
the title he now holds. Jones has proven
most wonderful manager for Wolgsst.
To his careful work Wolgast owes his
present fortune and fame.
