one ROUND HOGAN
HAS ADOLF On
WORRY L|SL
Tuesdays Bout Promises to
Be Worth the Price to
Some.
By Monty.)

New York. N Y, April 15.-Up in
Johnson's roadhouse there is a fighting
person bearing the ominOus sobriquet
of "One Round" Hogan, who is busy
rehearsing his part of 1e round pu-
gilistic sketch which will claim nation
al attention when it is staged on Tues
day night before the Madison Athletic
club, with the champion lightweight OF
the world. AdoIph Wolgast, Familiarity
known to eastern fight fans as the
Cheese" WOlgast who has been train
ing out Jersey way, has perfected a
speciality which he thinks will rehabilf-
tate his lost prestige in the 10 round
fight circuit, and put his opponent, the
hardy Hogan, in the discard. This new
stunt comprises a shift followed by 2
stem winder that, according to the VOL
CAST press. would stop the turret Of
Jack Johnson.
Whether either VIII land a sleep
producer during the 10 round bout must
be left for the battle to decide. but a
glance over the pugilistic dope sheet
has thoroughly convinced New Workers
that they are in for bout which, if il
doesn't make a change in the pugilistic
map, will at least alter the personal
topography of the two principals and
result in a mill that will long be the
talk of Manhattan's flash alley
To turn back a few pages of fight
history, to the time when AdOlph IN
der a heavy fire from every sporting
writer in the country because of his
retirement on the plea of an insul ed
wing, decided to again Jlumine tie
arena with the light Of his sunny Ger
man countenance. we find written in
bold print, under a Philadelphia date
line, convincing story OF his defeat
at the hands Of Knockout Brown,
Of New York
All those who witnessed this affair

that Brown won in a walk and that
AdOlph, when he saw the tide of bat
tie setting in strong against him pull
ed all the foul tricks known TO pu-
gilism-and they are quite e. number
The Cheese Champ. however. claimed
that he was the victim OF the newspa-
per critics and promised to make good
when he met K. O. a few weeks later
In New York. He met him. but he fell
so far short Of making good that he
left the big town with the impression
that he was meat for any one Of five
or six fast boys in this vicinity.
Journeys to the Coast.
Adolph's next journey was TO the
coast, where he enjoys more prestige
than in the east Here his manager,
astute Tom Jones, a man who has won
an enviable reputation as long dis
tance eulogist, picked a nice ripe lemon
for his charge. one George Memsic.
who performed in the good old days.
when Chris Columbus was the only
person Of importance on these shores.
George was shaved, massaged and sign
ed up for 20 rounds-he lasted about
half that number. Great victory,
Then Comes LaGrave.
Adolph's next reputation rehabilitateT
was a pug by the name of Anton La
Grave LaGrave may have been great
fighter. but so far as the records show.
he has kept the fact strictly to himself.
At any rate AID climbed into the ring,
wiped his feet in the rosin, and then
proceeded to mop up the surplus with

Hogan blew into New York from the
coast unheralded and turned up at the
newspaper offices The announcement
of his advent in our midst created a
clamor for a match between himself and
Brown. The match was made The prfn-
cipals met. and. after the smoke had
cleared away, 1t was discovered that
Knockout was minus a few teeth and
a large chunk Of self esteem, while
Hogan had acquired some facial alter
ations, and a wholesome respect for
his opponent.
The Puzzle.
Now If "One Round Hogan could
hold up his end with Brown after a
climatic change from summer to win
ter, and but a few weeks training,
how is little Adolph going to make
out? The answer will sfft over the
wires Tuesday night when the two
little men face each other at the Madi-
son club, and start a mill. that whether
1t ends with a haymaker or goes the
limit is certain to add at least one
more man to the ever increasing ranks
Of those with whom Wolgast will soon
er or later have TO reckon In a battle
over long route.
