piouship days are over,
Ad still insists, however. that IL
was his back that was twisted, and
SAYS there was nothing at any
stage Of the contest to remind him
that he had ever been knitted for
appendicitis.
1t may be as he says, and In any
case there is no harm in waiting
for further light on the subject,
If it was merely a twist Of the
back that Wolgsst suffered from,
he would soon be in harness again.
If IL was some physical flaw trace-
able to the operation, we can ex-
pect to hear of some of his ring
contracts being cancelled.
Whatever il was, il must be
said that Woleast was ill.advised
in getting back into harness 60
soon.
In the aftermath of the Richie
affair, great stress was laid upon
Wolgast's deficiencies In the box
ing line. He certainly showed poor
Judgment, both of distance and
direction, but good deal might
be said in extenuatiop. Tho most
pertinent argument in the con-
nection is that Wolgsst practically
did not give and take work in his
practice sparring before the bout.
THE idea that possessed his man
l ager and himself was that the
question of assimilating was
the main issue. The thing to be
proved was whether the Wolgsst
midriff could stand rough usage,
and Wolgsst IS sparring partners
were under orders to slam away al
poor Is stomach region without
stint
While they were doing so VOL
CAST was in a measure lay figure.
He seemed satisfied with the
knowledge that body smashes did
not hurt him. In view Of the fact
that he had not boxed any for six
months, he should have fought
back more in his training camp in
stead of being content 10 pose as
a human punching bag. Had he
done so he might have found the
range more easily while he was
embroiled with Ritchie.
Ritchie, by the way, does not
think that Wolgast is q back num-
bor by any means. Willie enter
tains a very lively recollection Of
the first knockdown he suffered
at Wolgsst's bspds-or rather at
Wolgsst's s left hsnd--and is con-
vipced, moreover, that Wolgast, In

At one period, following the opening

dependent upon the eastern acreage and
this fact has resulted in. encouraging
the paintings in the northwest. With
guaranteed price, it seems probable that
with each year the acreage devoted to
jflax, will increase and that it will again
become an important item in the annual
output of the Idaho fields. At the
time the flax industry was introduced
in this section the view was generally
expressed that the crop would prove
damaging to the ground, through the
exhaustive qualities of the plant. Later
developments, when the farms were
again turned back to barley, wheat and
oats, showed the fear to have been I'M
founded. In cases, perhaps, some OF the
ground had been fouled by kale seed

about $1.35 on the Lewiston market. 1t
