 Jcm Drisooll. the English feath- crwcight champion. did not shine wi'h his usual brilliaucy He was in uaar health when Pal Moore test ed him in six rounds in Philadelphia, anu evidently bit off more than he could chew when he recently tackled Freddie Welsh. the English light weight champion. who won on q foul iH the tenth round Welsh took part in only 'vn battles. the one with DriSc=ii and fWeuty-round draw with p9cky Mcfarland in London. although the latter in the opinion of the English sporting critics should have received the verdict
 The downfall of Jehries at the in stance of Jack Johnson was the re suit cf the ouiy scrap these big men iUdUGcd in. Battling Nelson went to the scrap heap when Ad Wolaast knocked him out in forty rounds and after another attempt at the come back" game his ring career ended by Moran Wolgast. since his victory over Nelson ten months ago, has fought three times. ill each case with a fourth rater. and at present he seems 10 have no desire to risk his lightweight title.
 The tragic death of Stanley Ket. chel removed from the ring a won derful pugiliSt. who was the recog- nized middleWeight champion up 10 the time he passed away. Bill Pap Ike, who claimed the title, was beat, n on q faUl by Dave Smith. the Australian tirleholder. the other day. but Papke iS not the best man al the weight in this country.
 Papke knocked out Willie Lewis in few punches over in France last spring and since then Lewis has been on the down grade. Barring the various titleholders, there are some first class fighters gradually climbing the ladder Frankie Burns is a crack bantam and Frankie Con- ley app ars to be 9 formidable feath- crWeight. Owen Moran seems to be a dangerous man in the light weight class, while Jimmy Clabby. at present in Australia, may be welterWeiGhr champion before long. Frank Klaus is q coming middle weight, but beycnd that class no- body capahle Of giving Johnson a hard battle has vet loomed up. Bill Lang and Kaufman are the best white hcavEWeights in the ring, but they are lacking in that important quality, class-NeW York Sun.
 Ad Wolgast is beyond all doubt, one great and husky little fighter The man who wore down the Dura- ble Dane can assimilate a beating that would make the average pugil- is crawl into cyclone cellar, and he can hand out the wallups on his own account as well. Nevertheless. Mir. WOlgast has master, and the master is right there in the WOlgaSt family
 There are several Wolgast broth CTS, the family being one of these prolific German households. All of the younger Wolgasts are strong and sineWy, but Ad is the only one who took J0 the ring as a profession Too bad some more of them didn't enter the fighting field There might have been titles ad libitum among the stocky warriors of the Cadillac farm hands.
 Louis a Farmer.
 One year older than Champion Ad, built cn the same pattern but not even thinking of pugilistic fame. is Louis Wolgast. A typical Ger man farmer is Brother Louis, caring only for the welfare of his cattle and his horses, seeking Cnly such currency as can be gathered from the produce of his many acres. Louis would never be selected for a fight CT. but he can go some, and up in Cadillac they gleefully tell the tale of how he tended to the champion
 Fresh from the great victory over Battling Nelson. his pockets full of money, his head full of happiness and ambitions, Ad came home. On the second day after his return to Cadillac he rose betimes. strolled out upon the fields Of the Wo'gast farms, and there met Brother Louis guiding a blow for the early spring time planting.

 "On the level, Louis" quoth the champion, you are a bum farmer
