LIGHT WEIGHT
CHAMP PIONSHIP
Ad Wolgast and X. o.
Brown Will Get Together
Tonight in Philadelphia.
BY limited Pro- wlre

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. S-For the
first time In many months this city
will stage championship contest
tonight.
Unless all signs fail, the biggest
crowd that ever saw a fight i'm the
Quaker city will watch Knockout
Brown of New York exchange slams
with Ad WOlgnst lightweight cham
pon Of the world. Philadelphia Jacl,
O'Brien, who ORGANIZED the new club
before which the fight takes place,
said today that the sale Of seats had
been phenominal. From New York
three special trains win bring over
the fans Of that city While special
cars will bring clubs from Pittsburg
Harrisburg, Baltimore and Washing
ton.
There is slim chance that Brown
win take Wolgqst's title away. He
has n terrific punch and Is admitted
~ a dangerous little man although far
from wonder. more because he lacks
ring experience Than anything else.
Wolgast howevcr figures on outboXing
the "K o" and getting the decision
on points. There has been little bet
ting on the result but because Of
the fact that the scrap has only six
rounds to go the champion is an
overwhelming favorite.
AS there are no decisions in
Philadelphia the only way that
Brown can annex the title is to
knock Wolgast cold before the bell
rings for the finish of the sixth
round.
AS for the other events, that be-
tween Jim Barry and Joe jeanette Is
expected TO be % hummer. II will be
close to grudge fight in as much as
the decision. Both are hard punchers
and the bout should he of the slam
bang variety. Then Digger stanley
and Tommy O'Toole will put up
good exhibition as a curtain raiser,
The card is admittedly one Of the
best from lighting point of view,
ever staged in this city.
