HEARD NO CLAIM OF
FOUL, SAYS REFEREE
Sensational Statement Made
Concerning Wolgast's Plea
in Seventh Round.
BY SAM 2. HALL.
BY International News Service

BY International News Service.
CHICAGO, March 13.--Harry Stout,
referee OF the sensational glove contest
involving Willie Ritchie and Ad Wolgast
at Milwaukee last night, made an as
founding statement in the presence oil
Tom Jones and the writer in hotel after
the battle. II certainly astounded u.s. and
We know it did Jones, for Tom invited
the official outside when he heard it,
Harry declined, and Ads manager and he
apparently parted enemies.
The followers Of the glove game all
know by this time that Wolgast went
down In the seventh round Of the fight
after Ritchie had dubbed him twice In
the body with his right and lodged a
claim Of foul When he sank TO the
floor Richie was between him and Stout:
Willie backed away and Stout walked
quickly TO Wolgast's side. Every ring
slider was positive that Stout knew that
Wogast claimed a foul and that he re-
fused the plea and ordered him 10 get
up and fight. which Wolgast did, at any
rate But here Is what Stout said:
II did not know until after the fight
that Wolgast claimed foul. / thought he
went down from the two stomach punches
and / counted four OF him before he got
UP. I was not IN a position to see the
blows plainly and ! did not detect low
punch, IL there was one. for that reason.
II I had known that Wolgast was lodg-
ing a claim of foul / would .1ave stopped
the tight then and there and called in a
physician to examine him.
