KNOCKOUT BROWN easily out
n classed Champion Ad Wolgast in
six rounds of fighting last night,
But it struck the writer hat Brown
hasn't the Furnishing power everybody
was led to believe. Leaving his jaw
uncovered to test the punching power
OF Brown, the champion received three
smashes on the jaw in the third round
that would have spelled sleep to many,
but the little Michigan Bear Cat
didn't vince and looked for more.
The stomach punches he must have
felt. Time and again the New Yorker
reached him in the subway with a
hook and Wolgast did not object to
clinch n wrestle for a few seconds.
He was more tired than Brown APP
peared at the end of the bout. He
was tired from Browns punching.
Brown was strong and unruffled, la
ing received very few telling wallops
from the champion. In q six or a ten
round bout we'd bet on Brown every
time. but in a longer fight we think
Wolgast would get away with the de-
cision. Wolgast was too conceited and

would have been bettef. Wolgast, judg-
ing from the wallops Brown landed on
the mark and the way AID acted, is a
mighty hard man to knock out, and
Browns punch doesn't seem equal to
the Job. In a longer bout, If Wolgast
shoots over that dangerous right of his
on Brown, TX. o." might not shine UP
SO brightly.

Dick Curley offered Wolgast 800 to
box at his new Whirlwind Club at the
Clermont Skating Rink. Young Sammy
Smith would have been his opponent,
but Wolgast wanted ringside weight at
1873 pounds. Sammy couldn't do 1t.
Tommy Murphy was offered Wolgast
but he said nothing but the long route
with him." said AID.
Jack O'Brien said last night that the
show had cost him about Sis, 900 all
told. II that's true. which we do not
exactly believe, O'Brien did not make
much, for he did not take In more
than $4,000. We think he broke about
even on the show. The house was not
packed.
Jim Savage claims that he Sailor

Clubs representative had no power to
take the match between Billy Leary
m Young Kurtz. scheduled for that
date. Jim states, too, that hi can get
Montana Dam Sullivan and Frank
Mantell for February %. Charley Hum
nell has another match for that date.
This is q mix-up that should be
straightened out. |
Some explanation of the failure of
Mel Shepard and Abel Kiviat to appear
at the Company B games last night will
be asked of the registration commit
tee of the A. A. y. Bart Freeman said
today that Frank Riley, track captain
of the Irish-Americans, had the entry
signed blank of the Irish" team con-
tanning the names of Sheppard and
Kiviat last Saturday night. No notice
of a withdrawal of entries of Sheppard
and Kiviat was given the Company B
committee.
There was a mix-up between Tom
O'Rourke and Jack O'Brien over the
proposed Kline-O'Toole match. O'Brien
said he had the match, but ORourke
showed how he had O'Toole tied up,
and Moe Smith is to post ~forfeits with
O'Rourke today for the bout on Feb
ruary II, provided Kline's eye is better,
.
In the past thirty days there has been
considerable difference of opinion con-
corning the proposed colt races for the
coming season. While the many sug-
gestions offered by the various owners
and trainers have met with a general
approval, 1t was thought best to call
q meeting inviting all the owners and
trainers to be present to go over the
snatter thoroughly.
The meeting will be held at the Club
House next week; everybody will be
given an opportunity to air his views of
the situation and much good for the
future Of colt racing hereabouts should
be the result of the conference. There
are at this time more worthy S-year-old
trotters In this vicinity thar ever be-
fore, and 1t is time that some provision
was made for these baby trotters.
Toung Wagner and Buddy Faulkes,
The negro scrapper, were matched yes
terday afternoon in this city to battle
for ten rounds at the Olympic Club. in
%Irvington, on the night Of February
eS. The men agreed to weigh in at 116
pounds at s o'clock. George Roehm
acted for Faulkes, while Dick Curley
signed for Wagner. The latter has
posted a forfeit to meet johnny Coulon

viewed with interest.
