Philadelphia. Feb. s.-Ad Wolgast,
lightweight champion of the world,
and Knockout Brown of New York,
fought hard six-round draw before
the American Athletic club in this
city last night.
Although the New Yorker had
slight advantage in a majority of the
rounds. his blows lacked steam COM
pared with those of the champion.
olgast seemed unable to fathom the
peculiar style of Brown and the latter
many times landed on Wolgast'S head
and body without return. Wolgast
tried all the tricks of the trade to
reach his opponent, rushing and
roughing to such an extent that he
was warned by the referee on two diff
ferent occasions.
Brown never fought a better battle
during his career. while the showing
OF the champion, especially in the
early rounds, was disappointment.
AS Wolgast became more accustomed
to Browns style he fought in much
better form.
Digger Stanley, champion bantam
weight of England, was defeated by
Tommy O'Toole of this city; Joe
Jeanette had the advantage over Jim
Barry and Jimmy Carroll of Califor-
MA outpo1nted young O,Leary OF new
York, in the preliminaries.
