KNOCKOUT BROWN
Wins A DECISION
OVER AD WOLGAST
IN A SLASHING BOUT BROWN
GETS TO AID WOLGAsT,
THE CHAMPION.

NEW YORK, March valentine
("Knockout'') Brown, the New York
lightweight, gained a popular deci-
sion over Ad Wolgast, the world S
lightweight champion, in a slashing
ten-round bout last night in the
National Sporting Club of America.
Three weeks ago, Brown fought
Wolgast in Philadelphia and the
crowd of 5000 which saw him fight
last night voted him victory, al
though the law requires that no de-
cision be rendered.
Brown forced the fighting from
start to finish and on the whole,
gave more punishment than he re-
ceived. In the clinches, Wolgast
showed superior ring generalshir
with in-tighting. His tactics, how
ever, were SO rough that they
brought Kisses from the spectators
Neither man was in distress al
any time during the bout, and nc
blood was drawn. In the last ses-
sion Brown was backing toward the
ropes as Wolgast wrestled him and
clinched and rolled through the
ropes together Brown would have
fallen from the ring had not {
cluster of hands showed him back
An unusual crowd of sporting
celebrities witnessed the bout, ant

Should the proposed measure be-
