-0 as the men toed
the mark for the second round of the
Madison "A. C.'s main attraction. These
hopes n fears were based of the de-
cidedly poor way In which Wolgast
closed the first round when Hogan st
punched the champion with all his
power for fully a minute without a re-
turn from the little fellow until, as he
laya on the ropes stalling, hoping for
til l bell to- ring or for Hogan to come
near enough for him to clinch with
him.
Hogan would not, though he fought
as well as he knew, and the champion
for that minute probably never got a
worse beating and never looked in
more danger.
The lad, smaller in stature and lighter
in weight-truly only by a pound and
a half, but lighter just the same-took
beating enough at this point to put
away most other lightweights, but he
weathered it all and beat his man just
one minute and forty seconds after
the second round began. Referee Char
ley White saw Hogan was about to
4 fall, that Wolgast mercifuliy was
slower In taking advantage of the
losers condition n before Hogan
8 seconds could throw a sponge into the
( ring stopped the fight. One-Round
Il Hogan was no more. In fact, Wo,gast
\ had almost stolen his title. Wolgast
left for Los Angeles today to stand
trial for fighting George Mensic there.
A Hogan retires from h ring according
to his own statement.
Hogan was in difficulty in the second
! round before anybody realized mat
#5ters. Wolgast had come to the front
E Surprisingly strong considering the
IS round before. Hogan showed the eff
ID fects of the hard work he had done in
d the preceding round and was not so
4 fast as before.
He shot his left hand into Wolgast's
face. Like the little wildcat that he
u is, Wolgast, as soon as this blow land
1 ed, attacked his man n forced htn
4 over to the north side of the ring.
n Hogan stood before him, looking for
what was to come, 1t seemed, when.
like a shot. AID planted a crushing left
hand blow, half swing and uppercut,
to the region of Hogan's heart.
This was followed by a right to the
jaw, and TAPS" lar already sounded
for Hogan. He still had instinct and
sameness enough to try to get to his
man to clinch, but Wolgast has a way
1 of keeping a man away from him when
he wants to that made Hogan a mark
for any kind of blow the champion
- cared to use In his efforts to finish the
Isl boy from the coast. And he used all.
N Let's and rights to the jaw with ter
y rible force sent Hogan to the south
side of the ring, where Wolgast began
II to Measure his blows so as to get over
that one "fnisher."
Wolgast landed everything, but
somehow or other "the punch" did not
land properly. and Hogan just reeled
around the ring until he got back to
the north side of the ring again.
There Wolgast, either weary or mer-
ciful-perhaps both-ceased his sharp
shooting ~momentarily, and Hogan half
turned and reeled into his own corner,
just a foot OF two beyond the spot
where Wolgast hit him the body blow
that started him down hill. Wolgast
has literally punched him all around
the ring.
Hogan refused to go Down. He was
dazed and did not know what he was
doing. He did not quit. One more blow
would have felled him. 1 believe he was
knocked out standing up, and Char ey
White did the right thing In stopping
Ia there.
AS soon as the bell sounded down
went Wolgast to his usual crouch. He
raises his left shoulder several inches,
crosses his right forearm straight over
the lower part of his jaw and allows his
wicked left hand to hang loosely against
his body.
The wicked little wildcat was ready
to shoot either hand at a moments no
tice whenever his opponents vulner-
able spot showed itself. Hogan was
not bafied by the style adopted by the
champion. He stood UP nicely and
planted his left hand in Ads face. VOL
CAST was anxious to get into the clinch.
but Hogan's jabbing left hand kept
the champion from getting into a long
clfnch. where he would suffer from
Wolgast's terrific body and jaw blows.
Hogan was using his left hand pretty
good as a jahber, but it was doing no
damage. Wolgast kept boring in all
tho time and landed his first body blow
"a right to the stomach, going out of
a clinch.
After this Ad worked in close. anX-
ious, it seemed, to have Hogan slug
