nCHAMP" VOL CAST
IN RETURN MATCH
WITH K. 0. BROWN


New York. Feb. 11.-New York
fight fans will have a chance to see
AID Wolgast, the lightweight cham
pion, and Knock Out Brown in ac-
ton here in ten rounds at the National
Club on Friday night March 8. Ac-
cording to the conditions of the bout
the boys are to weigh 1913 pounds at
the ringside.
Brown put it all over Wo1gast in
their six round bout in Philadelphia
last Wednesday night, and Wolgast
smarting under the sting Of that de-
feat. is seeking revenge. Wolgast said
the six round route was too short for
him and besides he had been out Of
the ring so long that he was rusty
At ten rounds Wolgast thinks he will
make a much better showing against
Brown and willingly consented ( an
other match when it was suggested
to him.
Now that Lightweight Champion
Wolgast and Knockout Brown are
matched to fight again. New York
sports are wondering whether VOL
CAST really Showed all he had in
Wednesdays six round bout with
Brown in Philadelphia when the New
York lad had all the better of the
encounter. It is the opinion here that
Wolgast would not have agreed to
such an early return match if he did
not feel that he had not done himself
justice in Wednesdays fight.

trouble began, the heavy play in the
books upon Bert Nurtherest resulting
in his driver being fined for pulling
the Yankee speeder. The crowd
swarmed upon the track when the IA
vorite came in a poor third, and the
judges were appealed to for a decision.
Judge King and Starter Upton, how
ever, had d scerned the unfair tactics
even before the spectators were aware
of 1t, and when the bookies announc-
ed that there had been lots or coin on
the Connecticut horse, they immedi-
ately ordered driver Brusie upon the
stand for an explanation. The latter
said nothing as to the charges and
there was great cheering when the $40
fine was announced. The officials an
nounced at the same time that the
horse would be left in BRUSHES care,
but that he would have to drive I'm
to win. This race which was the last
race on the card was left over until
this afternoon, the places, however,
being registered as the horses went
under the wire.''

open.A5r Schools Increasing.

Since January 1, 1907, sixty-five open
air schools for children afflicted with
or predispOsed to tuberculosis have
been established in twenty-eight cities,
according to an announcement made
by the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis.
The first open air school in the United
States was established on January 1,
1907, by the board of education Of
Providence, R. l., at the instance OF
DR.. Ellen A Stone. The next school
was established in May of the same
year at Pittsburg, and the third at
Boston in July, 1908. According to
the reports received by the national
association, the result of the open air
class-work has been to restore most
of the children to normal health and
efficiency. One of these open air
schools or classes should be estab-
lished for each $4,000 population, es.
pecially in cities.
