q AN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12.-After
y coming to terms with Promoter
Coffroth for my first champion
ship battle,' / just made up my mind
to devote my entire time to getting in
the best physical condition. | learned
by experience that too much train
ing never does a fighter any good, so
! concluded that I would work for
two weeks and come down TO the
| weight gradually.
| selected Billy Shannon's place as
my training quarters because of the
nice, mild climate in San Rafael. My
manager, Billy Nolan, took charge of
my affairs again, and l concluded that
/ would be guided by whatever he
said. | was confident that he would
give me the proper advice. for | knew
that he had plenty of experience.
Wolgast and the majority of the
fans thought that the weight would
bother me, but | knew different. |
tried myself out before and there was
no doubt in my mind that | could do
1873 pounds, ringside, and be strong.
There was nothing unusual about
my training. | just went at it in the
ordinary way. doing plenty of boxing,
taking long, leiSurely runs on the
road and going through all sorts of
gymnasium stunts.
But | used to lay awake at night
thinking-not worrying. as most OF
them believed. | was thinking out a
plan TO beat Wolgast. ! made up my

want to take off my hat right here
to Wolgast as a wonderful man in the
ring-strong, willing, game and a
| hard puncher. But | discovered in
my first fight with him, and also by
watching his battle with Nelson, that
he had glass jaw, or. in other
words, that he could not stand hard
punch to the point and come back.
This gave me a line to work on.
/ planned my battle carefully for
weeks ahead. l knew that it was
going 10 mean the making or the
| breaking of me. | made up my mind
that he would rush me and punish me
| badly in the first few rounds. so /
| trained so as to be able to take all
that he could give me and come back
for more of il. | knew that | would
have to take plenty of the gafr.
| finally came to the conclusion
| that | would let him tear away at
me and just lay for his jaw. VOL
CAST always did fight in crouch and
his peculiar style of covering up gen
orally had his opponents buffaloed.
But | figured that he would have to
open up at some time during the
fight. l was going to be ready when
the chance came.
/ really believe that this line OF
study won that battle for me. Had l
| gone into that ring without any set

taking the first $4,000 that came
into the house, and It was up to me
to do the best | could after he HAD
been paid off. He was not bothered
about my end of it. So long rs he got

When it came to selecting the ref

"No. use, Bill" / said. You can

Nolan attended the meeting and
Wolgast Immediately presented the
name of Jim Griffin. Nolan held out
for a while, but he saw that he had
to give in, so he took Griffin, and that
settled it.
Right here | would like to com
ment upon the nsportsmanlike con-
duct of Wolgast. We let him name
his own ring official, and we did no;
even ask for g look-in. But after the
fight, when he saw that his champion
ship title was gone, he set up loud
wall.
All the fans remember how he cried
and raved about that decision. But
he did not get any sympathy, because
everybody knew that he fouled just to
keep from being knocked out.

Well, | thought that ! would freeze

and my hands were benumbed. For

of climate seemed to affect me right
away, and l was afraid that some
thing would go wrong with me al the
last minute.
Nolan hustled me down to a room
which he had engaged opposite the
arena. He wrapped me in heavy
blankets and I lay in bed for more
than an hour. Nolan moved an oil
stove into the room to help warm me
up, and l must confess that I needed
1t badly. Never in all my life did l
have such a hard time getting my
blood in circulation.

to weigh in. and I jumped right out

the scales were In readiness in

Wolgast landed a couple of minutes

with him, but, to my surprise, he
seemed sullen and careworn. I ex-
pected that he would start right in

The champion had nothing TO say
during the weighing in. He looked
worried and worn, and the longer i
sized him up the more confident
became. There was something
wrong with Wolsast that day, and l
really believe that he knew away
down deep in his heart that he was
going to lose his championship.
