Hughie Jennings wants big fellows

W0LeAST BEATEN
Willie Richie Had Slight Adj
vantage in 1O.ROund Bout.
Commission Claims Wolgast
Was FOuled.

Milwaukee, March Is. Willie
Richie Of California Thursday night
retained the lightweight pugilistic
championship, Ad Wolgast of Michi-
gan being unable to defeat the man
who took the premier honors from
him nearly two years ago.
No decision is permitted in Wiscon-
sin on ten-round bouts allowed under
the boxing law. but newspaper deci-
sions were about equally divided be-
giving a victory by margin to
Richie.
Some of the opinions as to the vic
tory of Richie were changed to de-
cision that the fight was a draw when.
after the contest, a member OF the
state boxing commission declared that
Richie had fouled Wolgast in the
seventh round. sending the former
champion to the floor for a count or
four.
The champion outboxed Wolgast in
five rounds and in the seventh round
had Wolgast backing away from his
when Richie landed shower OF
blows on his stomach and took the
count Of four. He rushed at the
champion, but Richie danced away
from him.
Twice during the bout Wolgast
was warned by Referee Stout for his
rough work in the clinches. In the
eighth and ninth rounds Richie
clearly outboxed the "Dutchman."
Wolgast rushed at the champion at
the opening Of the tenth and sent his
right and left to Ritchie's face and
body, but the coast boy did not give
ground and met Wolgast with right
and left jabs to the jaw. Both boys
were fighting fiercely when the bell
rang.
The crowd was the largest that ever
witnessed a boxing contest in Wiscon-
sim
Ad Wolgast was fouled n the sew
enth round when the champion dellv-
cred a hard blow to Wolgast's groin,
according to a statement of DR.. c. A.
Morton, a member of the state box
ing commission, after Wolgast went
to his dressing room and underwent
an examination.
1t was in the seventh session that
Wolgast fell on one knee and took on
a painful look, taking the count OF
four.
AS it is against the Wisconsin law
to render a decision. the result can
only be decided by the newspaper
writer's. Two Milwaukee morning pa
pers called the contest a draw. while
all the sporting writer's of Chicago
morning papers, with one exception,
gave Richie a shade. The single Chi
cago paper called it a draw.

SPLIT BETWEEN
VILLA AND CARRANZA.

The Mexican situation has been fur
Their complicated by trouble between
Villa and Carranza, and now rebels
are about to battle with rebels. Huerta
can in the meantime watch his enemies
fight with each other to finish. The
work of mediation in the meantime
will be seriously clogged.
The Mexican issue is now at an
acute stage, and the part the United
States will be compelled to take seems
to be apparent, and as the Gazette
and other American journals suggest
ed at first, intervention is the only
remedy.
The work of bringing about an un-
Outstanding between the hotheads of
Mexico has ever been hopeless, and
the longer conditions now prevailing
continue the greater will be the task
of interference.
The United States has for many
years posed as the policeman of the
western hemisphere, and the big
stick in several instances has proved
more efficacious than parleys with
people who have no intention of re-
moving chips from their heads.
Law books and international codes
never appeal to people who fatten on
disorders and who are bent upon de-
flying law.
During the civil war an Alexandria
official attempted to collect dues from
the captain of schooner which had
arrived at this port. The captain was
insolent and drove the officer from
the deck. He reported the case to the
the military authorities and
they sent an Irish soldier with the
official, subject to the latter's orders.
They found the captain as defiant as
ever, hut when the Hibernian was told
to bring him along and the skipper
found a bayonet close to his coattail
he concluded to pay the charge.
The officer in commenting upon the
incident said "I'd rather have a bay
onct in the hands Of determined man
than all The law books in the State
