has come by the "Wildcat" soubriquet

one to beat. He gave Richie a stir

In Milwaukee.

WOLGAST WANTS
MORE TINE

Minneapolis, April 6.-The Wolgast-
Tillmau fight at Hudson has been
postponed until April %. The Michi-
gan wildcat sighted a Tartar when he
looked up Tillman's record and wired
yesterday for more time to get in con
dition. His expressed excuse was that
a hand injured in the mill with Rit-
chic was coming slowly and he would
need more time to get into first class
shape. The fight was originally
scheduled for April T..
Tillman is content to give Wolgast
all the time he wants. The Minneap-
oils boy says he Is never out of con-
dition and the fight could have just as
well been moved forward a week az
far as he was concerned.
