 WOLGAST FIGHT

Albany, N. Y., September Ex-Governor Dix tonight took steps to prevent the proposed 10 round bout between Ad Vol gast, the lightweight champion. and Packey Mcfarland. at Madison Square Garden, New York, the latter part of the month.
 In letter to Julius Hamburger, sheriff of New York county, the governor says that complaints have been filed with him to the effect thAt this match ''is being arranged under such circumstances as will virtually amount to a prize fight He calls upon the sheriff to use every means to stop the contest. In a letter to District Attorney Whitman the governor requests him to cooperate with Sheriff Hamburger.
 The governor also sent letter to Frank ONeill, chairman of the state athletic commission, calling for an immediate re- port as to whether a license has been issued by the commission authorizing the bout.
 In his letter to Sheriff Hamburger Gov ernor Dix declared:
 The act of 1911 to establish a state athletic commission and to regulate box ing and sparring, was not intended to and does not legaize prize fighting; and the disgrace of such an exhibition as is said to be contemplated must not be tol- erated. I call your attention to the above. with assurance that, as the peace officer of the community. you will not fall to do your duty In the premises; and I ex- pect that neither this particular prize fight nor any other contest of the same character will be permitted by you with in the limits of your Jurisdiction"
