TIMELY BITS OF SPORT
WOIgast Ambitious to "CIear
Up" and Then Retire.
MAPS OUT HARD CAMPAIGN
Brown Moore Bout Off. And
Jimmy De Forest Relieves
His Tortured Mind.

Ad Wolgast, the lightweight champlon a.
the world, has made ambitious plans ~.
the near future. At present he is tralnin.
for his bout with owen Moran, but one.
that becomes a chapter In pugilistio b,..
tory, the conqueror OF the once nigb,,
Nelson Will open campaign which will
lead to gold and may lead 70 glory and IN.
right to retire from tho ring an unbea,.r
champion.
Wogast hopes 70 dispose OF the cron a.
lightweights now holding forth In ADA
ton 10 his battle with Moran he has a.,
ranged a match with "Packey" McFarla,d
for Labor Day. and is busy trying to %,
the other men to meet him. Ad is a I'm.
''peeved' over the manner in which soma
OF the boxers have sneered az his abiltv
and is more than anxious 10 get them in,o
the ring.
After he has beaten Mcfarland and h.
gives the clever Chicago boy not a chance
he will then proceed 10 dispose % "Knock.
OUT Brown inside OF twenty rounds
When that pleasant duty is over he Will
beat Freddie Welsh Matt Wells and Bal.
Ting Nelson. as he puts it, amy old place
al any old time at all"
For all his confidence, the critics ara q,
clined to predict some stormy sailing ~.
, Wolgast If he manages 10 outpoint Moran
The little Brita is not as big as Wolgas,
nor is he so heavy. but he is fast, danger.
, Gus and clever. He IS fighter and boys,
| combined. and the surest proof OF his abu
fly IS the fact that he boxed TWO lon,
bouts with Abe Attell and Accomplished
a clean cut knockout with Battling Nelson
Those who have seen both Mcfarland
and Wolgast in action are Of one opiuion
that the Chicago man would be a ton.
heavy favorite. Keen critics who nav.
seen McAulliffe, Cans. Critic and Erne say
in no uncertain manner that Mcfarland
combines the best points Of the old
masters. He Is without doubt the cleyeres,
man OF his weight IN the ring to-day. H.
is strong and can fight at close range with
the best when put 20 it. To say that b.
actually outclassed Owen Moran IN a ten.
round bout here in New York, and that hs
has never met his master In the ring, gives
an idea Of HIS prowess.
Opinion is largely divided over the out.
come OF battle between the chamDon
and Brown. The New York boy twice ou,.
pointed AID in short battles, but the latter
is a great long distance fighter. The fact
remains however, that in the two meet
/ ings Brown had Wolgast in a bad way
and, only his lack OF ring strategy robbed
him of the title when the boys met here
in New York. Brown is coming all the
time, and in year may be able 10 traysl
at even a faster pace than ct the present
time.
There are few who are OF the opinion
that either Welsh or Wells could stand or
the furious tactics of Wolgast, although
Welsh is a clever boxer. and Wells pos
sesses a fair degree Of skill.
Bugs" Raymond, who IS In disgrace
with the Giants, watched the YANKEES PUT
a game out of the fire on the hilltop yes
terday He loked In fine condition, and oil
some work by pitching TO the home team
in batting practice. The erratic pitcher ha'
! been making some good resolutions.
McCiraw - 70 have another Arthur On
his list Of third sackers. Arthur Bues
third baseman Of the Seattle clio, ot TIE
/ Northwestern League, will report TO the
/ Giants when that team winds UP its schea'
! ule. The deal for Bues was closed yestsr-
day One of the New York players. whose
name has not been mentioned, and cash
bonus will go to the Seattle club for the
new man, who is said TO be a star.
