Milwaukee, Sept. CATER those
two most able generals, Tom Jones
and Emil Thirty. got together in coun-
Gil at Chicago on Tuesday and decided
to be sensible, 1. e., to settle peaceably
all their differences and call of the
Mechanically scrap at st. Louis
which had been the cause Of most of
the dissension, seemingly the last OBJ
stacle and difficulty in the way Of the
big. scrap at Milwaukee on September
IA. has been removed.
The palaver. was q good thing for
the peace Of mind Of both the pilots
and promoters, for with everything
adjusted amicably, Thirty and Jones
set their men to work preparatory to
the scrap. Mcfarland opened his
training campaign at, Chicago on
Tuesday with q light workout. at o.

In company with Thirty for Bluff lake,
neal Antioch. Ill, where he will put
In most Of the serious work, not
leaving his quarters until ready to
come to Milwaukee for the battle.
W0lgast Trains on Bay Road.
Wolgast Joined Jones in Milwaukee
on Thursday and both proceeded to
look over several places which had
been held in reserve for them by
Mulkern to be used az training quar-
tiers. Jones finally decided in favor
Of the Bay road, using a cottage near
the place where Stanley Ketchel fitted
himself for his go with Billy Papke.
The champion will have the fine lake
air to train in and at the anne time
the quarters are just far enough from
the city to rid him Of the many hang
ers-on and bugs who poster the fight
ers In the training stunts.
Outside Of fitting up the quarters
with appropriate apparatus the cham
pion did little work during the week.
He looks to be in fine shape; tanned
from contact with the sun on his Ca
dillac farm and to all appearances
needs little conditioning to put him
In shape for the ten-round sprint. As
usual, Hobo Dougherty, his chum in
the days when he was q preliminary
fighter in these precincts. will be his
chief sparring partner, but, according
to the routine laid out by Jones, VOL
CAST will be forced to work with the
fastest feather or leightweights that
can be secured to aid in the training
Of the champion. It is Jones' aim to
work up speed in order to cope with
the dazzling ability of the Chicago ge-
MUS. There are plenty Of boys in
the local colony with whom Walgast
chummed, and he can have his pick
from the entire lot, and he will not
lack for the best in the city. for the
local knights Of the glove are with
Wolgast, heart and soul.
Ad Plans Grand Cleanup.
Talk about your confidence. VOL
CAST surely has plenty Of it. The fact
is, the champion appears to be a bum
die Of nerves and conceit. Naturally,
Of course. he cannot "see' anybody
but himself in the coming battle. He
thinks he is as strong as Mcfarland.
and In addition believes that the Chi
cagoan's reputed cleverness will prove
Of little avail against his rushes and
his own peculiar defense. Ad har-
bors the ambition of wanting to be
the greatest lightweight the ring has
seen. In fact. just at present he is
planning q grand cleanup Of all the
i UOyO VI ally ufCElL "udu3OVtVG WHO are
left in his division.
! He has asked Mulkern to secure X.
10. Brown, the eastern lumfnary, and
Matt Wells, the English lightweight
champion, for ten-round engagements
in Milwaukee and If the scrap with
Mcfarland develops as it should,
Wolgast will probably face either Of
the two mentioned or both in ten
round settos in Milwaukee. OF course
all this hinges on the champions
showing against his Chicago rival,
but the fact that he has requested
Mulkern. his old manager, to lineup
the two remaining contenders, prob
ably emphasizes best what Ad thinks
Of his figth here with Mcfarland.
! House Will be Sold Out.
The appearance of Wolgast here
and slight hedging Of Mcfarland has
caused the betting to run in favor Of
the champion, and just now it looks
as II Mcfarland would not rule the
favorite, he a first booked to be.
Mulkern has been literally swamp
ed with mail orders for tickets during
the last week. There ia not a Sec
ton of the country which will not

arena and Just now there is not the
slightest doubt that the entire house,
which will reach we'll over $4,000,
will be sold out before the battle
comes off. The original date of the
fight, which was September Is, was
changed to September Is. and this
will place the 90 in the middle of the
! Wisconsin state fair which will draw
close to 10000 to Milwaukee and of
this number there will be a good per-
centage who will take in the mill. In
! addition there will be trainloads of
fans from Illinois. Michigan and the
twin cities, st. Paul and Minneapolis.
not to mention the other outsiders and
the seats on the day of the fight are
sure to be at a very high premium,
and there is little doubt that the big
amphitheater will be packed.
