say, Poor Wolgast" with much pity
in their voice. Ad was dandy little
fighter. and he cut down his oppo-
nents in the most finished manner.
When he was good he was a cham
pion of high degree, but he was gem
orally in trouble one way or the
other He won the championship
from Battling Nelson when the Bat
Ter was on his feet, but groggy, and
his first few fights afterward were
unsatisfactory, in that he either met
with an accident or put up a poor
exhibition. But when he got in con-
dition and when he was out for a
decisive victory, no lightweight could
perform more brilliantly. Wolgast
was an artist in his way of doing
things in the ring, which, to be frank,
was rather brutal way. He beat
his men numerically, and now that
he is presumed to be in a receptive
condition for a beating, he displays
rare Judgment by calling off his en-
gagements and taking to the tall
timbers for safety.
e.
When Wolgast threw up the match
with Dundee the promoters began to
hunt around for a new opponent and
nnally decided upon Tommy Murphy,
who is the popularity boy out on the
coast. Dundee was willing when
Murphy was substituted and the date
set for the contest is July Is. Now
that Dundee and Murphy have been
matched it is funny. No promoter
in the East would, in a thousand
years, make such match and ex-
pect to draw a crowd. Still, out on
the coast, these boys are more than
likely to fill the arena. Murphy has
been doing so well lately, especially
in California, that he is being given
serious recognition for the light
weight championship. His victory
over Wolgast gave him much atten-
ton and he seems to be better now
than when he was believed to have
been in his prime. Surely he is popu-
lar and he is bound to be given a
show at Willie Richie and Joe
Rivers when the time comes. Lack
ing a punch, Murphy's cleverness
gets him by, and that is the game
he has been playing these many
years and generally with more or
less success. He. is one of the few
boys who were believed to be "all in
and then came back and made
good"
