night, and Charley White, the referee.
stopped tho contest to prevent the Calfor-
Man being Knocked out in the second round
Of ten-round bout. Hogan was outclassed.
Wolgast boxed in tho furious manner
which earned him the title OF the "Michi-
gan Wild cat and which enabled him to
wear down and beat Battling Nelson over
q year ago. when he won the title.
The champion threw all guise to tho wind.
and II was tho opinion Of those who saw
him box that no could have beaten any
man I'm the world last night.
Snarlng and tearing with savage ferocity
he wadcd in and battered his man about
the arena with terrific right and left hooks
10 the body and jaw until Hogan tottered
weakly The latter was unable to defend
himself. bu. was 100 game To quit lie
STAYED on his feet with his numbed arms
unable TO obev the hay commands OF MS
clouded BRAIN but raised his eyes I'm mute
appeal to the referee who, seeing MS plight'
stopped the unequal battle when Hogan
was hanging on the ropes.
There was only once in the short battle
when the Native Son" showed even a
flash of form. lie forced the champion up
against the ropes and crashed over his pow
erful right 10 the law. Wolgast was badly
dazed, and 1T looked for moment as II
Hogan would live up to his title or ono
Round" 1t was not to he The same won
derfuI stamina which enabled Wolgast TO
rise from almost certain defeat against
Nelson rallied 40 his aid, and he peat OH
his plunging opponent with terrific BODY
punches and was by far the stronger boy
at the bell
Hogan was beaten right then. lie sat
in his corner easping for breath, while ne
bled heavily from a deep cut in his mouth
Game as a pebble lie toed the scratch FOR
the second round, but sure Of his man.
Wolgast lowered his guard and tore III.
Hogan met him with a left TO the mouth
but Al crashed an awful lett TO the
stomach. Hogan doubled up and gasped.
His face was distorted with agony, but
merciless the champion sent right crash
ing To tho Jaw.
The Californians arms dropped. lie was
beaten Wolgast continued the fusilade,
and Hogan sought to escape by fight. His
sagging limbs were no longer capable OF
supporting his body and the champion
followed and laced hook after hook on his
unprotected jaw until the referee stopped
the bout.
There was little chance 10 compare the
science of the boys. Wolgast lowered his
head and charged into close quarters,
where he battered the strength and steam
out Of his man with short. snappy upper
cuts. Hogan was unprepared for this
and made n weak resistance
Insthe opinion of many Hogan made his
mistake by trying to outslug the rugged
little champion, whose one stock in trade
is his ability to assmilate punishment
and be strong when his opponent is tired.
James j. Jenries occupied a box, but
declined TO he introduced. He expressed
surprise at the speedy defeat of Hogan.
Hogan declared after the bout that he
would never box again. lie said: I'm
done. | was in perfect condition, and If
AID whipped me in such short order ! can
never be champion. Wolgast can beat
them all"
Willie Schaeffer. a sparring partner or
Hogan, came 10 grief i'm the first round OF
the second preliminary bout at the hands
of Tommy Leonard Schaeffer, who has
been loudly heralded as a conner" made
creditable showing for the first minute,
but Leonard was too heavy, and finally
wore him down.
\ big crowd was i'm attendance, and those
who pinned their faith to Hogan filed out
bitterly disappointed.
