AID WOLGAST WINS
FROM OWEN MORAN
British PugiIist Worn Down by
Close Fighting.
BOUT ENDS IN Thirteenth
Loser 10 Beaten to Floor In Last
/ Round by Onslaught OF
1 Of Uppereuts and
Y Body Punches.

San Francisco, July 5.-Ad Wolgast
began to win in the first round of his
fight with Owen Moran, and kept on
teenth round, when he battered Mo-
ran to the floor with a volley of rights
to the stomach, followed by couple
OF left overland swings on the jaw.
1t was palpable from the moment
they hooked up in the first mauling
match at close quarters that Wolgast
was the more rugged of the pair. He
may have been tired once or twice
during the contest, owing to the
gruelling pace, but there was doubt
about 1t, whereas there was never an
atom of doubt as to the way things
were going with Moran.
Moran Distressed In Fifth.
He looked distressed during each
resting spell after the fifth round,
while across the ring Walgast, snap
py-eyed and nimble was chatting to
friends in sound of his voice.
Wolgast simply wore Moran down
In the close fighting, doing his best
work with a punch which is known
to the fighting men as loop the
loop" 1t is a Highlander which
curls around entangled arms and
lands on the face. Wolgast used this
punch with such force that Moran's
lips were puffed, and blood dripped
from his nose and mouth. When
Wolgast was not working the loop
the loop" he was hammering Moran's
body with forceful rights. 1t seemed
that the closer they got the harder
were Wolgast's punches.
WoIgast's Blows Are Strongest.
Moran caught Wolgast quite num-
OF swapping right-handers In between
clinches and punched him with
straight lefts. While Wolgast was
working the loop the loop" Moran
used left uppercut and did fair
amount of damage with it. But
neither in infis hting or outfighting did
Moran's blows carry a 1.-THE OF
the Furnishing force that did Wolgast's,
and there was not a real chance for
those who backed Moran to chortle
at any time during the fight.
WOlgast went after Moran with
blood in his eye in the thirteenth
round. A couple of wellplaced right
uppercuts failed to stop Wolgast, who
was on top Of his man like a terrier
tackling a rat. Moran was battered
along the ropes. His guard was de-
moralized with right body punches,
hn mr.
with a couple of left swings on the
jaw. The fight ended right there.
Knockout Brown Wins.
Scranton, Pa, July 5.-Before
large crowd at the Athletic baseball
grounds Knockout Brown OF New
York won from Tommy Ginty, welter-
weight champion of Scranton, in a
six-round bout Brown played with
Ginty, hitting him when and where
he pleased, but Gintys main idea was
to stick out the six rounds, and he
lasted to the limit by sprinting around
the ring.
Rivers Stops Joe coster.
Los Angeles, Cal, July 5.-Fighting
before some 1000 sweltering specta-
tors under the killing rays of the
July sun, little Joe Rivers, the Los
Angeles featherweight marvel, stopped
Joe Coster of Boston in the thirteenth
round of the scheduled 20-round bat
tie between the featherweights in the

inches long over Forbes left eye.
