for Michigan will have plenty Of
backing and at least a dozen
sports will accompany him. NV J
Michigan makes the lightweight
limit easily. He has never scaled
more than 1913 or LA pounds. I
saw him in half dozen battles
and his only defeat was at the
hands of Cyclone Johnny Thomp-
son, who weighed 1872. He de-
feated Ray Bronson, Arthur
Douglas, the South African cham
pion, and boxed Johnny Summers
draw, although outweighed 10
pounds. He outpointed Frank
Thorn, clever lightweight.
Wolgast will not get to Mehe-
gan as easily as many think, for
he has splendid defense and hits
from an angle, as Wolgast does.
He covers well and has a strong
right hand punch.

The matching of AID Wolgast,
worlds champion lightweight,
and Hughie Michigan, Australian
champion, will result in a real in
ternational battle.
Joe Woodman, manager of Sam
Langford, has arranged to bring
Michigan here and Tom McCarey,
the Los Angeles promoter, has
closed with Wolgast, who stipu-
lates that the Australian bet
$1,000 on the side.
AS far as the side bet is con-
cerned there will be no trouble,
for Michigan can double the
amount easily. He is well liked
in the land of the southern cross
and when Australians fancy a
man, they do not stop over a little
thing like a few thousand.
The battle should be a card
and ought to draw over $4,000.

steadied the cotton market after the break

the selling about the middle Of the day
