El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-10-30

season will take place at
New Orleans, November Z. when Ad
Wolgast the lightweight champion Of
the world, and Joe Mandot, the South
ern champion. meet in the open air at
the baseball park under the auspices
Of the West Side Athletic club. con-
I trOled by DOminick J. TOrtorich and
R. J. Ruprich. The only regret is that
4 the fight is not over the Marathon
distance instead Of the half way post
as there IS little chance OF the boys
scoring a knockout in the ten rounds
OF fighting, unless it should be the
result of a wild swing or something Of
that kind AS to physical condition,
there is little to choose between them;
ing with MandOt
The operation which Wolgast under
went at Los Angeles left him its
mark but Ad assures me that he has
entirely recovered from the effects Of
it now and viii be as hardy and
strong as ever. His bout in Philadel-
phia the other night did not show
the Michigan bearcat at his best, but
the chances are that the champion
was not working at full blast. al
though there is no reason why he
should not do so. MandOt, on the
other hand, fought about the same
time against his former sparring
partner. Joe Sherman, and beat him in
a nice and gentlemanly way. 1t viii
be the boxer against the fighter and
in a short bout the boxer should stand
an excellent chance of holding his
own. or even better.
This fight means lot to AID and
he is not going to take any chances
He may rush and all that, but il is
good gamble that he will be careful
that the southern boy does not get
an opening to hand over one Of those
right crosses for a Knockout Vol
CAST does not mind the left jab SO
much, as he figures ne can always
take a punch Of that kind to land
one, and if he can land his own left
(being naturally left handed) he says
the exchange is all in his favor Man
dot, with his polished left jab, should
be able to work at long range and
outpoint his opponent in short bout
OF course Joe viii be the same as
every other boxer in q match Of this
kind; he VIII always be thinking that
he is meeting champion and VIII
be willing TO hold his own, thereby
throwing away openings if they are
presented.
If Mandot viii only box cleverly,
in the manner he is capable Of, why
Wolgast will have hard time get
ting the decision, but if he gets the
idea into his head that he viii be
satisfied with a draw, then the cham
pion viii have the edge. from the
start MandOt viii no doubt figure
that mis- condition viii be superior to
pion to set the PACE for the first five
rounds relying upon his own STAN
ina to make a hurricane finish Then
again If he follows that course he may
he fooled, for Wclgast, II his condition
permits. Is heaTcat fo- that kind Of
game.
1t will all depend on condition and
that is what Mr.. MandOt viii have to
learn during the first half Of the
battle-whether the champion can
travel the last half at rapid pace.
Comparing the two boys on their
against zoo Rivers, II IS a
tOSsup between them WOlgasI gets
credit for a knockout over Rivers in
the 18th refund, but there have been
so many arguments about it being the
result of foul when the two boys fell,
or accident. that the chmpion does not
get full credit for scoring a knock
out MandOt however, scored q clean
cut victory over Rivers in the 20
rounds and lad all the better Of the
fight, while in TIE fight with WOlgast
the little California boy was given
credit for having. the best of the
champion in a majority Of the rounds.
1t is an even CHARGE between them {
That some sort Of an understanding
regarding the disciPlIning Of boxers
who violate contracts will be brought
about between the promoters of the
various countries, where boxing bouts
are held, is almost a certainty now.
The matter has been given consider
able attention of late by the inter-
ested parties in this country. England,
France and Australia and all seem to
favor the proposition. Col. Dyer. of
London. sends the writer the follow
ing information anent the PROPOSE
