ONLY TWO GERMANS
WEREREALFICHTERS
Wolgast and Papke Were Only
TeutOns Who Ever Broke Into
Top Class of Pugs

II it hadn't been for two fighting
men. who represented TIVE different
classes OF pugilism, the German in the
fighting game would not have amount
ed to much The dope shows that
up 10 the time that they appeared on
the scene there were few who ever
had made much OF splurge in the
boxing sea. and this despite the fact
that they were not lacking III mum

Billy Papke, the Spring Valley, Ill.,
midleweight. was the first 10 start
something for the Germans, and his
success left no doubt in the minds OF
those who follow the sport closely as
TO whether the boys OF his race are
made OF the stun OF which great fight
,ers are constituted. Papke proceeded
TO settle the argument once and for
all by achieving the greatest honor
that any fighter can gain-theS world $
championship in his class.
Closely on the heels OF Papke came
another German, who didn't stop I'M
til he had the honor of occupying the
place OF worlds lightweight champion.
His name was Wolgast, and he hailed
from Cadillac, Mich, where early in
his pugilistic career he was honored
with the title OF Michigan Bearcat"
and Cadillac Dutchman."
II really isn't necessary 10 say
great deal about Wolgast, for every
one who knows anything about box

GIANTS VS.. ATHLETICS IN OCT?
IT LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE IT NOW

One reason why the Athletics seem
destined TO represent the American
league in next falls world series ID
found in the wonderful batting OF the
timely sort which the entire infeid
and enc outer gardener has been in
dulging in As set forth in The Times,
Baker, McInnis, Collins, Barry and
Oldring are generally TO be relied on
when some deed is necessary 10 put
the opposition on the defensive.
+ The batting OF this quintet has been
so remarkable and consistent as 10
appear uncanny in the eyes OF rival
clubs, and il is no wonder that a man
of the keen judgment OF Frank Chance
should pay the Athletics the tribute
of playing the game as no other league
club is. What with smuggling the ball
when hits count most, playing a mag
nificent defensive game, and good
pitching by the battle-scarred veter-
ans. Bender and Plank, il is not TO be
marveled at that Chance Is so un'
stinting in his praise OF the Mack
men.
Presumably it will be the Giants vs..
the Athletics in October. and these
clubs clashing for the highest honors
in baseball. a series will be served up
which will outrival the greatest on
record, for the National leaguers are
putting up an article OF ball such as
