Ad WOIgast Has Had a Jinx in
His Wake Throughout Career

Old Hard Luck appears to be a
twin brother Of former lightweight
champion Adolph Wolgast, of Cadil-
lac, Mich. 1t looks at first glance as
II the young mans jinx and his
bankroll were about the same size
both fully developed.
If you don't happen to know Il,
Wolgast is a savage young fighter
who whipped nearly every 49,
FOUNDER within reach before he be-
came champion. grabbed the title by
defeating the greatest assimilator OF
puntshment the world ever knew hon
orably defended 1t against all at
tack until ne lost it through an un-
fortunate foul
incidentally Wolgast earned a vast
fortune-vast for an athlete, at
least-while he was doing all of these
things. 1t Is estimated that he has
taken down at least 100000 as his
part of purgee, theatrical exhibitions
and the like.
Further, the Cadillac boy has saved
the greater part of it and now may
be accounted a rich man.
But misfortune constantly came to
him. Here are some of the things
that happened at various times:
1906-His left ear caulif1owered.
1907-Right ear caulifiowered.
190S-Bones in both hands broken
end one knuckle knocked out or
joint.
1909-Bridge of nose broken and
surgical operation necessary.
1910-Left arm broken in bout with
Jack Redmond. It mended only to
be rebroken in bout with Tommy Nc
F'arland.
1911--Stricken with appendicitis on
eve of bout with Freddie Welsh and
Willie Ritchie subbed for him, get
ting chance that finally landed him
the title from Wolgast.
1s12-Bones of both hands broken
again.
1913-Suffered serious attack of
ptomaine poisoning: ribs cracked in
bout with sparring partner.
1914-Left hand broken Just prior
to bout with Willie Ritchie; right
hand broken in bout with Freddie
Welsh.
