WOLCRST'S FOUL
New Title King Born When, in
Sixteenth Round, Nelson's
Conqueror Hits Low.
STAMINA AND SPEED GONE
Californian Undergoes Terrific Beat

Over Mandot.

San Francisco, Nov. 29.-Ad VOL
CASTS substitute of a year ago won
the highest honor in the lightweight
division yesterday when he defeated
the champion in the 10th of SEIZED
uled 20-round battle. Willie Richie
of San Francisco is the worlds best
133-pound pugilist.
Referee Jim Griffin awarded the
lightweight crown to Richie after
Wolgast, groggy from a terrific right
cross to the jaw, had fouled the pre-
tender twice. The champion had
been sent to the floor by the impact OF
the blow and was tottering about the
ring almost helpless, with Richie lit
tie the better from the beating, which
he had assimilated. attempting to put
over the finishing punch.
Never has championship battle
been more bitterly contested. Never
has there been so much fighting in
jected into so little time. Never have
two men more evenly matched been
seen in such a battering, hammering
and fiogging match.

From the tap of the first gong until
Referee Griffin held up Ritchie's hand
in the 10th round to proclaim him light
weight champion, there was fight,
with light quantities OF blood split.
Richie presented a sorry appearance
as he smiled thanks to the cheering
mob, who eagerly congratulated the
first native son to win the title. His
eye was closed and he was bleeding
from the mouth and nose, but his
hurts bothered him none, for he was
the victor
Wolgast did not show the batter
ing so much as Richie. but he had a
detected hang-dog look and his mouth
twitched as if he were suffering pain.
The effects of that finishing right
cross was clearly presentable, and it
/ is doubtful if Wolgast could have con-
tinued had Griffin not stepped in when
/ the foul blows were delivered.

in what seems to be the funniest act
in vaudeville, "A Jay Circus" To sit
down and attempt to describe the bur
lesque sketch is impossible. There is
SO much to it and the angles are so
numerous and varied that the beholder
finds himself hanging onto his sides
for fear they will collapse with the
nerriment that pervades him. Not
this season or in many seasons past
has the audience in a local theatre
laughed so heartily and continuously.
II grew from a few smokers TO a gen
eral laugh; from a laugh it proceeded
TO a roar and from that TO a regular
cyclone of mirth until it seemed as
though every bit of the great auditor
ium was filled with a shouting, laugh
ing audience. The crowd was a rec
ord one and the Jay Circus" set an
other record for continuous laughter.
They laughed as they left the theatre
and many of them are still laughing
today. ANY honest critic would al.

would enjoy real laugh. You cannot
help it. To sit and watch this skit is
to enjoy the best 20 minutes you can
possibly put in. The remainder Of
the bill is not sacrificed either, for
