So Knockouts in 118 Bouts Is Browns Record
Man Who Meets Abel at Auditorium a Wonder

Just how good Knockout Brown
is and how greatly he is feared By
other boxers is shown by his exps-
rience with Ad Wolgast, When
Ad was champion Brown was keen
for bout. Finally Brown cornered
Wolgast and they went on in a
siX-round engagement in PhiladeA.
phia. where decisions are not al
lowed. Brown showed up the
champion. Less than a month later
they tried It over in New York. and
Wolgast got such beautiful lacinF
that ne couldn't be bought or ca
joled into meeting Brown again.
If he wasn't afraid, then he tuEs
figured he couldn't afford to take
the chance.
Knockout Brown meets a worthy
opponent in Jake Abel. This lad
has shown well, not only with Sec
ond-raters but with good lads like
Joe Mandot and Frank WhitneE.
He has a larger following in At
lanta than any lightweight who
ever boxed here.
The bouts next Friday are solely
for the benefit of the Atlanta Grays
and the Capital City Guards. Every
cent of profit will be used for the
fund which is to pay the expenses
of sending these two companies to
take part in the parade and the
other ceremonies in connection with
the inauguration of Wilson.

Last season the fans of this cir

the question of a doubt The

was composed almost entirely of
youngsters and the four players

practically youngsters.
Locally, baseball is in better

Do you want to know the two

getting them because they were
worth more? Look in the record
book for the answer to that one,
They were getting the coin BECAUSE

league to develop more young bail

The lightweight situation in
America at present Is in pretty
much of a tumble, with champion
clutching the title whose ability to
defend it is most doubtful and with
a crowd of claimants who could
easily make his life miserable. OF
all the lot there is no better, more
whole-souled, daring walloper than
Knockout Brown, of New York.
1t would probably not be amiss
to explain that this Knockout
Brown is not the Greek who fought
here under that name during the

but the New Yorker Valentine
