CO
IS NOW ARRANGED
Ad Wolgast Comes to an
Agreement to Fight
Rivers.

Los Angeles, April sd Wolgast
and Joe Rivers, the local Mexican
lightweight, were matched late yester-
day to fight 20 rounds in the Vernon
arena July 4, for the lightweight
championship Of the world.
Manager Tom McCarey OF the vernon
club announced that both boys had
agreed to make the lightweight limit
1873 pounds, at ringside.
The matter OF selecting a referee
was deferred. Wolgast once refused
10 fight Rivers for a purse Of s12,50O,
demanding in addition, a percentage
Of the moving pictures privilege.
Fight followers said last night It
was likely that the guarantee first
offered Wolgast would stand for the
July 4 encounter. with the probable
addition OF about 40 per cent Of the
picture money.
Rivers made no demands upon Nc
Carey, saying he was satisfied to get
into the ring with WOlgast on any
terms.
