Wolgast looks good to them all
when he's far away. It's the strang-
est thing in the world. the number

pion while they are seated around
the ringside looking on But this
same bunch are like so much clay
in his hands when they climb through
the ropes and engage him in battle.
Freddie Welsh, the pride of Ponty-
pride, Wales, England, who sat at the
ringside on July and saw his coun-
tryman go down to defeat, now states
that Wolgast would be easy for him.
Why, Freddie, how dare you?
Wolgast easy can you picture
Wolgast easy for any man OF his
weight and inches? When Welsh gets
into the ring with the bearcat he
will find that it's quite different
position than seated outside the hemp
and discussing the when and why
fore of Moran's defeat. In the first
place, Welsh can't hit. and any man
that can't hit looks like a loser be-
fore he begins with SO tough boy
as the Cadillac product. Many have
found this out to their sorrow.
Many Of those following fights fig
IRE Wolgast as boy able 10 take
an unusual amount of punishment,
and game to the core, chap that
never knows when he has enough.
They also figure his wonderful STAN
ina carries him through, and that S
all they'll concede. The fact is that
the little Dutchman has more than
his share of gray matter. He is one
of the wisest little birds that ever
sat in corner, and if you labor UNI
der the impression that he does not
figure out his plans of battle to
a nicely, you'll find yourself much
" mistaken person. AID goes off by
himself and weighs up his prospec-
tive opponent When in his mind he
has discovered his opponents weak
points he goes to work and hgureS
his plans to take advantage of them.
Then he argues with himself about
the strong points of the man ne
is to fight and solves a method 10
overcome them. He is not one OF
those fighters that go into the ring
slam bang fashion trusting to luck
and his ability to live under punish
ment to win. He is as methodlcal as
any fighter you ever saw.
For instance, when he was being
matched with Nelson for that Point
Richmond fight he had it all figured
that Nelson would dictate and call
him names when it came to signing
articles Ad said to himself that he
would have to get back to every
sally that Nelson sent. The result
was that when they were signing
