DIDN'T IMPRESS HIN

New. York, May at don't think
Wolgast is a hard puncher. His
bout with Hogan proved that. Had he
had the dreamland wallop, he would
have knocked out Hogan when he
had him on the ropes with his hands
down. Place Knockout Brown in
Wolgast's position, with Hogan help
less on the ropes, and I am certain
he would have ended the bout de-
cistvely."
In that fashion 'Packey" McFar-
land commented on the Wolgast-
Hogan fight. He says he does not
care, to witness boxing bouts in which
he is not directly interested, or in
which his personal friends are not
contestants.
But read a description of the bout
carefully, and am fully convinced
that Wolgast cannot punch hard"
he said.
why is Wolgast afraid to meet me
in the ring?" Packey asked. ''I have
been willing to meet him at 1873
pounds at 3 p. M the day of the bout
for the last six months, but he has
always side-stepped the challenge by
saying he wants the weight to be
made at ringside. His sticking to
that point has proved to me that
Wolgast is not made of championship
calfbre."

GOING AFTER
A WHITE HOPE

New York, May 2.-Those two old
weather-beaten salts or the sporting
seas, Parson Davies and Yours Mer-
rily," John M. Rogers, sailed on the
Caledonia today in quest of the White
Hope Believe Johnny Rogers when
they get back in July Jack Johnson
will have hanging over him impend-
ing doom. No school boys off for a
frolic ever wore more of the inn

from Broadway, who for half CEN
tury have had part in sporting and
theatrical events.

San Francisco. Cal, May 2.--Jack
Lester, the white hope from the north
west, and the man whom Tommy
Burns picks as the coming heavy
weight champion of the world, is now
In Sydney, Australia. training for his
coming battle with Bill Lang, which
probably will take place within the
next two weeks.
The northwestern giant Is perhaps
the first boxer OF Importance, who ever
did his training on ship board. Ac-
cording to George Tracy, the promi-
nent labor leader who was on the
Mariposa with Lester during the voy-
age from this city. the big fellow Jared
very well and managed to whip himself
into good condition by his daily exer-
else on the ocean liner.
Lester was compelled to adopt this
method of training by force of circum-
stances. When the match was made
Lester was UP in Seattle. He figured
on taking steamer which would have
landed him in the antipodes about the
middle of March, and thus give him
plenty of time in which to train. But
by some hook or crook he missed con-
necttons and was thus forced to wait
a whole month for the next steamer
The match with Lang was originally
made for April II. Lester was very
anxious to make good and at the same
time he did not want to disappoint the
Australian fans or the Australian pro-
motors. Therefore, after much figuring
and stal1ing, Lester came to the con-
clusion that the only thing for him to
do would be TO condition himself en-
route.
Accordingly, Lester had couple of
punching bags set up on the deck of
the Mariposa and he brought along his
training toys, his boxing gloves, dumb
bells and all the other necessaries that
go to make UP a boxers gymnasium
equipment Most of the fans laughed
at this idea; but, anyhow, Lester car
ried out his plans and they worked to
perfection.
Every morning, before breakfast,
Lester would run around the decks for
half and hour. Then. after eating
breakfast, he would punch the bag,
work the various machines and finally
don the mItts with members of the
crew
While the weather was fair, Testers
training stunts worked absolutely to

perfection. AS the days rolled by the
weight came off him pounds at a time
and his muscles hardened The little
boxing which he did trained his eve
in good shape and when the steamer
reached Tahiti, Lester looked to be
almost ready for any sort Of a rough
battle.
The big, fat fellow was in such good
condition that he went up against a
big 225-pound native at Tahiti and
after stalling for a round landed a
knockout wallop in the second which
laid the native out for fully half an
hour. OF course this was no test but
during the mixup Lester showed his
wonderful strength and handled the
South Sea islander just like a cat
would a mouse.
News of the battle between Lester
and Lang will be eagerly waited by
the fans all over the United states
The young giant from the northwest
was discovered several months ago
by Tommy Burns and every time he
started there was sensation. AL
though he never met what could he
termed a likely opponent. stiIl he dis
played such wonderful class over the
men he did meet that the good Judges
Of the sport, such men as John Grace
Of this city, felt certain that Lester
can take care OF himself with anv OF
them outside of Jack Johnson or Sam
Langford.
Lang is the best big man on the
other side Of the water. True, he was
beaten in twenty round bout by
Burns and badly hammered by johnson
and Langford, but managed to hold his
own in a short bout with AL Kaufman
in the east several months ago. He
looks to be good trial horse for Les
ter and If the latter should manage
to register a Knockout punch he will
be the sensation Of the rising crop OF
heavyweight hopes.
Lester seems to have ali the ear
marks of good man." says Tracy in
speaking Of the trip over to Tahiti.
THE way he broke chains and ropes
with his bare hands was q revelation.
He was hard at work with the gloves.

Baseball
WANTS SHORT SEASON

New York, May 2.-President B. b.
Johnson Of the American league, who
is here, believes the baseball season
should open later Instead OF April IL

In the opinion OF Mr.. johnson.

there is no reason why a team
should start on a spring junket before
the latter part of March. II has been

in the past that after a long training
siege in the south the players have
been brought up north only to meet
a blizzard and generally bad weather
What they have gained in the
south by several weeks Of hard work
they lost in few days in the north.
The baseball season starts entirely
too early. May l would be Just about
right and think the American league
owners would be in favor of opening
at that time.
THE early contests played in rainy
and chilly weather are a travesty on
the national game and they should be
stopped. / hope to see the reform I'M
der way next season. certainly
