Of constitutional amendment will be

The expansion movement is looked upon

have been working for ten years to Sc
cure
The other amendments to be offered re-
quire that officers must be members OF
some club belonging to association,

According to an itinerary which Jack
Johnson has given out the champion evil
IDENTIFY has no intention of appearing in
the ring in any important engagements
for a year or more. So long as he can
make spending money out of his theat-
rical engagements he does not propose to
fight OF course there does not appear
to be any one in sight who stands
chance with johnson just now, but if
he were losing his attractiveness as a
theatrical star it would not take him long
to get busy.
But there is no great anxiety to get
johnson into a fight just yet. The pub
lie would like to see him and Sam Lang
ford settle their differences, perhaps, but
with the average follower Of the game
there does not seem to be any doubt as
to the outcome Of such battle. only that
it would show how good a man Lang
ford is.
To have Johnson lay off for another
year gives additional hope to those who
are anxious to have him dethroned. In
the meantime some Of those white
hopes may develop, and certain 1t is
that Johnson will not improve.
Because Of the easy manner in which he
has disposed of all his opponents and the
fact that he is giant in every way, Carl
Morris looks to be the one best bet to be
pointed for a meeting with Johnson, but
that must not be hurried. 1t will take
some time to develop the Oklahoma fight
er for a championship battle, and the
more time he Is given to develop the bet
ter his chances.
That Morris is more than an ordinary
novice stands to reason, and already good
judges of fighters are picking him as the
coming champion.

I've ever seen. He is wonderfully fast on

W0LGAST TO FIGHT
Lightweight Champion Names
March 18 to Meet Moran.
WILL BATTLE IN CALIFORNIA
Wants Englishman to Give Him IS
Per Cent of Receipts-Hitch
Not Likely.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. January 21.-Public opin-
ion forcibly expressed by boxing critics
all over the United States has compelled
AL Wolgast, the lightweight champion. to
give up his game of hide and seek with
challengers and to name date for a
championship battle with Owen Moran of
England. Several weeks ago. when cor
nered by Moran in Chicago, Wolgast and
his manager promised to name date for
the fight within sixty days. No forfeits
were posted, neither were articles OF
agreement signed by the men. but each
gave his word of honor to meet the other
i'm a forty-five-round bout at 1873 pounds
ringside.
Wolgast has just come through with
his part of this verbal agreement, and
has selected March IS for the mill. That
is the information received yesterday
from Milwaukee by way of San Francisco
and it is pronounced authentic. VOL
CASTS manager has sent a wire to Ted
Wolff, matchmaker of the Centennial
Club of Frisco. which has leased Louis
Blot's big arena in the heart of the
lightweight Champion has accepted the
clubs terms for scrap with Moran
March Is. Wolgast has agreed to have
the fighters share of the receipts limited
to 10 per cent to be divided according to
a subsequent agreement with Moran.
Wolgast a month ago said he would in
sif upon a bonus Of $12,5OO win, lose or
draw, and Matchmaker Wolff was pre-
pared to guarantee him $500, but it APP
pears that Wolgast. figuring that the
fight with Moran may draw a thirty
thousand-dollar gate. is confident that
Moran will allow him to take big slice
of the money regardless Of the result.
Wolgast and Moran will divide IS per
cent of the moving picture privileges.
Meanwhile. the attitude Of the Califor-
mia legislature on the boxing situation
has not been clearly defined. The coast
promoters are moving slowly. hoping
that there will be no adverse legislation,
and ready to put on full steam the mo-
ment the lawmakers at Sacramento ad-
journ. If no anti-boxing bill is passed
forty-five-round bouts will be resumed,
it is predicted, which will enable VOL
CAST and Moran to go ahead with their
plans. Wolgast, If he is sincere, will be
extremely busy in future. He is sewed up
in a match with K. 0. Brown in Philadel-
pha, February s, and has agreed to box
Packy Mcfarland in Milwaukee Febru-
airy %. Between those dates he may take
on Battling Nelson for six rounds in
Philadelphia, but he is undecided at pres
ent. If he goes through with the Brown
and Mcfarland matches without sustain
ing another broken wrist it is hard to
see how he can avoid fight with Mo-
ran.
