RICHIE DEFEATS W0LGAST
BEFORE 10000 FIGHT FANS
Michigan Lightweight Claimed Foul In
Seventh Round, But Referee Re-
fused to Allow Ii.

Milwaukee. Wis. March 13.-Ad
Wolgast failed to get his revenge. The
Cadillac Dutchman was out-fought by
Lightweight Champion Willie Richie
during the ten rounds of fighting in
the Auditorium ring before 10000 per-
sons.
The Californian won, but not by a
wide margin. He did not even con-
vince those present that he would
surely be the better man in q long
fight, for Wolgast was after him vi
ciously and madly in the last round,
and left the ring without mark on
face or body.
The contest was won and lost
through dramatic occurrence in the
seventh round The men were fight
ing along viciously, head to head.
when Richie suddenly uncorked two
right swings TO the Wolgast stomach.
With the thud of the second padded
list on his body the Michigan Dutch
man backed away and sank to the
floor. 'lding his hands over his groin.
He looked up at Referee Stout with
an expression of pain on his face, and
asked that he be awarded the bout on
a foul
Richie was between Stout and the
fallen Wolgast and backed away to
his corner, the while protesting that
he had not struck low Stout rushed
over to Wolgast, refused to allow his
claim. and ordered him to get up and
continue the fight. Here Stout proved
his ability as ring officer He be-
lieved that Ritchie's blows landed
above the belt, and he said so with
out hesitation. Wolgast got up, appar-
entity unhurt, and fought back wick
edly during the rest of the three-min-
uate spiel.
AS far as the writer could see the
Richie rights 10 the body looked
to be fair punches. The men were
close enough for us to watch them go
home, though the blows were deliv-
cred with lightning quickness.
