The name of Wolgast can b
classed among the greatest light
weights of the arena. He beat Bat
Ting Nelson, which is some honor
and his career afterward was inter
esting and worthy He was NOR
fighter than boxer and he was sucl
a relentless foeman that he mad,
victory, If slow, rather certain.
c.
The final dash to Wolgasts caree
came yesterday at Oakland, Cal.
when the former champion was beat
en- in a ten-round bout by Joe Aver
edo, an unknown, unheralded fighter
The accounts of the battle sound tn,
finish of Ad. AHe was so slow" tn,
dispatches say, that he could hardly
get out of his own way He backed
up at all times and rarely made al
effort to fight. He was not the VOL.
CAST of old and he was beaten in
every round. The. decision was pop.
ular because it was just, but there
was a deep feeling of regret for VOL.

Leach Cross is eligible to full mem
bership In the "In-and- Outer Club.
He fights like champion one day
and the next day he fights like Leach
Cross. IT'S strange about this fellow
He has been up and down half a
II hi -,
turn by no-accounts on numerous
occasions, only to come back after a
lay-off and annihilate one of the
leading men in his class. He comes
and goes, but he has been there
more lately, and stronger, We might
add, than ever.

Leach has been out on the coast for
some time and he has done well there.
The death of Bull Young in the bout
with Jess Willard put crinp into
the game in California, SO Cross is
beating it homeward He stopped off
at Vancouver yesterday and took on
Frank Barbieu, an unknown youth of
the new fight town. AS Leach was
doing the promoters favor to box,
he had considerable to say about the
details, so when it was discovered
Barbieu was four pounds heavier
than Leach, why Cross Immediately
had it stipulated that if the bout went
the limit there wouldn't be any de-
cision Foxy Leach! The bout did
las: the limit and Cross was given a
good stiff beating. If Leach isn't a
great fighter he is peculiar one, and
he secures more publicity and more
coin for his contests than most of
the topnotchers at that.

President Solomon is very sore at
us and he won't give us any more
passes for the ball games. OF course,
the reporters and the printers and the
Office boys and the office girls will feel
this slight keenly and Solomon will
have to do lot of apologizing to
square himself. From what one can
hear, though, Mr.. Solomon is not long
for this city, and everybody, | know,
will feel sorry to learn this. When
the change comes about we will be
able to get more passes and the re-
porters and the printers and the office
boys and Office girls will speak to us
again.

The following letter contains a
few kind words" about the wise
Man" of the Newark Club:
]. P. NJ:
Referring to Square Deals" ar
gument in regards to George L. Sol
ONION, think the argument itself is
o. K, but 10 to he goes to the game
once in a season, and therefore he
doesn't know any facts. I agree with
you and "A Fam" as believe you both
have the right dope. | see most
every game Newark plays at home,
and can base my argument on that
which was good enough for Wash
due to George L. for Newark being
where it is, but I guess you have to
doff your straw hat to Harry Smith
and his players, as they are playing
a great game. 1t is the best team
Newark or the league has seen on
the diamond. The men have worked
with a heart and will under Smith,
and, as you point out to Square
Deal" that the players must have
thought lot of Solomon when they
registered a kick in regard to him
travelling with the team. 1 suppose he
is cheap skate and thought he
would be some cheese" in bossine
the players around, hut thanks to
he m cta 70, a.
harmony in team is as much ;..s a
bleacher ticket is to Square DEAL
If he ("Square Deal) will send me
his name and address I will do my
best to take him down to game next
season. Hoping this will hold him
until he can get another two-cent
stamp, l remain yours truly,
j.. d. ESTELLE.
