Perhaps It was Jim Flynn, Pueb-

Johnny Kilbane had put a defeat on

mark is coming true in many ways
Al Wolgast hasn't started out in

operation in Los Angeles for ap-
pendicitis.
The lightweight champions show
Ing in a four-round contest in San
Francisco with Willie Richie has
Itarted a wild buzzing and many
of the shrewd judges OF the game
are saying that Wolgast never will
be the same tough piece Of whale
bone that he used TO be.

cuse In the Wolgast case, just as
there were EXCUSES lNi nm W il'b ~

he snapped a bone In his forearm,
II was a test bout in each case
and didn't count seriously against
the champion
But the effects Of an operation
of this kind are far reaching and
said to he definitely felt for years
afterward. hence the pesslmistic
statements about Wolgast's future.
Naturally neither the Ktlbane nor
the Wolgast party expresses the
slightest doubt about the future
Still there are world OF doubters
many believing that Johnny Kill
bane doesn't carry guns of sufficient
caliber to hold his title long. Many
others are inclined to think that

general opinion that Flynn is one

ever entered a championship bat
tie il will be a mighty severe test
for the champion unless he is in the
very best Of condition.
Johnson hasn't so much time left
IN which to mold his big form into

is reasonably sure to get from the
