Knockout Brown and Ad Wulgnst has
been clinched. Danny Morgan, nan
ager of Brown, and Tom Jones, who
looks after the interests OF the cham

mattel with Wolgast in M~iiwaukee AMI
if he does he will let Brown box Ad in
his place. Jones says that Packey has
only $1,000 of the $500 forfeit posted,
which, he claims. is a good sign tnat
he will not meet the champion.
If Mcfarland does fulfil his promise
to meet Wolgast in Milvslukee. then
Jones says that he will match W-lgast
with Brown to o here in New York
between the date wi h Mcfarland in
Milwaukee and the one in Frisco.
