ND vet II may be on again before

Wolgast Is unlike Batting Nelson In
one thing. When Bat was champion ne
had q great dlstaste for short .outs.
He knew as We'll rs anybody that he
was champion because re could outiast
the men he fought. In finish lights he was
invincibie for years. But he never vas
. very fast and clever boxer. There
were q dozen boys In the game who
-fLcould make him look foolish In six
~ rounds. lie could do better In ten, but
even ten or fifteen rounds didn't give
1gsNeison time TO strike his gait. lie
didn't care for twenty-round lights
when his title was a; stake, although
DhAhs did beat a number OF good men in
less than twenty. Bats one argument
was that a championship should be con-
tested for only In bouts Of forty rounds
"iRsr more.
But Wolgast. who Is as tough and en-
during a. Nelson himself In a forty
round night. can do just as good work
s.sAyn ten or six or one round. Remember
- The way he trimmed "one-Round' Uo.
gan. He showed speed that night that
put him In . class with the fiashy short
distance boxers. On that account VOL
gast might easily prefer q ten-round no.
decision bout Cfor the same money! 10
twenty-round decision night. such As
ne would have to accept II he risked
his title In California.
"ALKLNG about ''risking a title
In . no-dectsion bout-wchat cham
pion ever lost one that way?
whenever champions appear In New
York and meet fighters OF the recog-
niHed weight there Is much talk about
the shifting of the title In case Of q
Knockout. No such accident has ever
Oohappened In a New York ring since no.
SECESSION bouts took the place OF
old-timc twenty and twenty-Hve-round
decision affairs. Abe Attell Is the
oniy genuine champion who has
been knocked out. Tony Bender
dropped Able for eighteen seconds.
But he didn't get credit for his perform
ance. as the referee didn't count Abe
out. but gave him time enough to re-
cover and 60 on again. Even at that
there 10 no proof that Bender was q
feathsrweight at tha, time.
~ all the other champions who
have shown ~nere-Coulon, VOL
CAST. Melody. Ketchel--none has
ever been knocked out In our decision
less bouts. Coulon was outfought by
frankie Burns. but that didn't affect
his title. Wolgast was n little more
than shaded by X. o. Brown, without
losing anything. Melody. when he was
an active champion. won his fights
here. so did Ketchel. After Ketchei's
unfortunate death. Klaus. best of the
AHsnon Of shA - L-.---
won handily when he appeared In New
~Sfork. Langford. who claims the light
heavyweight honors. has also won his
bouts.
In any case the losing OF titles under
the ten-roupd no-decislon condition Is a

~HERE was n lot OF talk about the
Fight Trust when the Madison
Square A. G. was running. At
that time the Twentieth Century A. e.
was practically under the same man
agement. hut how about the National
Sporting Club and the Royal 4. C.. both
run by Tom O'Rourke? These two
clubs cover more ground than the Pat
Powers combination. the National being
in the Amsterdam o~pera-House, New
York, and the Royal in Ciermont Rink,
Brooklyn.
The National a. G. has run In hard
luck for months. notably since the Pal
er-Kennedy fight. 1t has put on only
fairly good bouts, and the crowds have
gone elsewhere. II looks very much as
n O'Rourke had come to the conclusion
that the National II a losing proposition,
and like q wise bird he has Hoped 10

@ARL MORRIS refuses 20 stay put.
Al least the giant must be given
credit for gameness, In spite OF
- terrific hammerlng he took from
riynn he stayed right here in New
York instead OF running home to Okla
homa. Moreover the deserves a blue
ribbon for this) he didn't go around to
the newspaper offices after the Flynn
hight making excuses for his showing.
Ninoty-nlne men out OF a hundred
would have boea satisfied with the
lao1ng Flynn handed out. Morris hap
pens to be the hundredth man. .or the
thought OF leaving the same never en-
tered his head.
Prank Erne has been coaching and
gaining Morris In private for several
