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 long
fight, for Wolgast was after him vi
ciously and madly in the last round,
and left the ring without a 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
fist on his body the Michigan Dutch
man backed away and sank to the
floor, holding mis- 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
cut hesitation. Wolgast got up, appar-
emily unhurt. and fought back wick
eddy during the rest of the three-min-
uate spiel.
AS far as the writer could see. the
Richie rights to 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.

MISS WILSON ENGAGED TO
WE'D SECRETARY M'AD00
Believed II Will Occur Either on
Easter or in June.

Washington, March 14-Just as so
ciety was despairing OF an official all
nouncement from the White House
about the reported engagement of Miss
Eleanor Wilson TO William G. McAdoo.
secretary of the treasury. a statement
was given out by the presidents secre-
tary, Mr. Tumulty, TO this effect:
The president and Mrs Wilson an
nounce the engagement of their young
est daughter, Eleanor Randolph. to
William Gibbs McAdoo."
Those few words made certain that
the wedding bells will again chime in
the White House for the second time
in the Wilson administration within
the space OF six months, and that Miss
Eleanor Wilson will be the fourteenth
White House bride.
The briefness of the announcement
was much commented on because
when the engagement OF Miss Jessie
Wilson to Mr.. Sayre was announced il
was with a wealth of detail and cir
cumstance. 1t is understood that the
wedding day has not been fixed. Ru-
at very early date, either in Easter
week or when the June roses bloom
about the White House grounds.
1t was impossible to learn whether
the wedding would be family one or
partake Of the public nature Of the
Jessie Wilson wedding. At any rate,
il is considered certain that Miss Mar
garet Wilson, whose own engagement
has been frequently rumored to Boyd
Fisher Of Princeton, will act as her sis
ter's maid of honor. as she did for
Miss Jessie Wilson.
1t is said also that in letter found
in Washington that the rumor of Miss
Margaret Wilson's engagement TO
Boyd Fisher of Princeton, y. j., soon
would be confirmed. According TO this
letter both weddings were planned to
take place in the White House within
the year.
The rumor OF Miss Margarets en-
gagement. however, has been denied.
