WOLGAST'S Def
Lightweight Champion Says AID
Will Have to Make Good
or Run.
LOCAL BOY IN TRAINING

- - 80 ~
Willie Richie, the lightweight
champion, hands Wolgast an answer
well calculated to curl the hair about
little Adolphs temples.
Wolgast has posted 81 900 with Jim
Jeffries, the same to go as forfeit
on a $4,000 side bet to R1tchie. One
half this amount was to be bet that
Wolgast would whip the title-holder
in twenty-round battle the other
half to go as a straight wager that
Wolgast would stop Richie inside
the limit.
I'VE call Wolgast's proposition"
said Richie, last night, at Los An
geles. Cal. I'VE accept Wolgast's in
vitation just as 1t lays. The only
stipulation we make is that half the
amount, s125Oo, be posted on the
day the articles are signed, the re-
mainder TO go up ten days before the
contest. He'll have to make good
now or run. I want to fight on either
September l or g."
Irish Mahon, the local feather
weight, announced today that he IA
under new management. Mahon will
begin training at once for several
bouts which he has in mind He has
been fitted out with training quarters
in Maplewood, and with several other

Mahon challenged Banty Lewis and
Young Cardell at the Central Insti-
tute, Monday night, but neither Car
dell nor Lewis would listen to Il.
Mahon has a decision over Lewis and
believes he can win again. A bout
