n d WOLGAST is asking for
~ $4,000 for making three
fights And at first blush peo-
pie are inclined to say, Gee, what
wolf for the coin he must be-"
In sense that's true. With VOL
CAST it is a case of getting it while
the getting is good. But from the
other side of the picture it isn't
such a fiercely exorbitant demand
Wolgast always has been one of the
greatest drawing cards the ring
ever had in the lightweight divi-
sion. When promoters stage him
with anybody who. on paper, looks
like something of a match for the
Cadillac man they can reasonably
look for a record breaking gate.
Knows He Is Card.
Wolgast knows better than any
body his worth in the box office
Experience has taught him that
promoters usually can take chances
with him and offer him big money.
Hence his demands run high. Why
not?
Jim Coffroth said he laughed out
right when Wolgast sprung his
terms on him. There's a reason for
that. for the fighting game right
now is in bad shape in San Fran
cisco, and it would take a battle
between Jack Johnson and Sam
Langford to draw out anything of
house.
People out there seem to have
tired Of the game, or times are
too hard, or there is some reason
for the slump. In the palmy days
that Coffroth once knew he could
well afford to clinch Wolgast on
the latter's own terms. But un-
derstanding conditions the way he
does it's no wonder that Coffroth
laughed.

And another thing it takes three
years to make a manager A man
ager starts off viewing things from
the players viewpoint. He has to
learn that there is also the club
owners viewpoint and the fans
viewpoint. He usually wastes the

real manager in about three years"

houses Wolgast has drawn and you
won't be surprised at his demands
Didn't he and Rivers draw $4,000
into McCarey's arena July 4? And
isn't it reasonable to suppose that
Wolgast and Richie or Wolgast
and Rivers right back would equal
that gate? AID asks $4,000 for the
first battle, $4,000 for the second,
and like sum for a clash, with
Packey.
A fighter always is worth a GER
tain percentage Of what he can
draw Wolgast knows he can draw
the coin, and that's why he de-
mands it.
Are His Feet Slipping?
And there's another point that l
think is on Wolgasts mind. l have
an idea that he knows he is about
all in, that he can not battle much
any more because of the effects of
his operation for appendicitis last
November, and this being his last
stand he intends to make it as re-
munerative as possible.
Little Adolph is well blessed with
the worlds goods. If he were whip
ped tomorrow it wouldn't be for
him to worry. But nobody on this
earth seems to have so much that
they couldn't use a little more of
the kale. That's Wolgast's fix. He's
comfortable. but if he could nego-
tiate that additional $4,000 he
would be much more so.
Pictures Show Him Up.
1t looks to me. after seeing the
Wolgast Rivers fight pictures out
in Denver few days ago. that AID
had better hurry 1t didn't look to
me as if he battled in his old rug
ged, murderous style. And if he's
all in at this time there isn't much
hope for him ever to come back.
He's young man STILL but even
the kids don't come back after
