May Meet Charlie White in
Return Bout.
By Sol Pick.

though Ad wolgast rs still
~ the best of the 133-pounders.
II he had the championship now
and all his foes had to make that
weight at the rtngside for him, they
would have an awful time taking his
title away.
wolgast astonished us with his
wonderful showing in his sensational
trht with Mexican Joe Rivers at Mi
wsukee Friday night. He was just
again as good as he was when he bat
tied Charlie White in the same ring
a few weeks ago. The Dutch ring
man seems to improve with every
fight now and II he keeps on getting
better nothing in the world Of his
inches mas a chance to whale him.
1t is doubtful IL ne ever turned out
4 better ten-round fight than he made
against Rivers and we are convinced
that if the men had been battling
over a distance out West that his VIC
tory would have been a decisive one.
For the first time in his life, Adolph
!
earnestly. When he was champion
and defending his honors on the
coast in long, tough fights, they haG
10 guard him night and day in order
10 be sure that he would get into the
ring i'm condition to do battle. Now
he guards himself, and does the job
we'll He was asleep in a Milwaukee,
o.c two hours after he finished with
gvers In former days he always
l8clted after a quarrel
NC spins on the Whitefish BAY
i road out of Milwaukee, hours Of

ssEhy living for the past few
G.5u-hs lave brought back to VOL
aast the splendid health he enjoyed
fore they rushed him to Los An
les hospital one November day over
year ago and operated on him for
appendicitis. He stripped like 1.-THE
near in the Milwaukee ring Friday.
There is no suspicion of the fat waist
line he brought back with him from
California after losing to Joe Aze-
vedo Wolgast is as hard as nails
right now. They say they never come
hack, but Adolph evidently Is the eX-
ception that proves the rule. He has
come back with both feet, and then
acme.
w OLGAST Is something OF ring
w hnancier, but Promoter Frank |
Mulkren has it on him. Anyway, he |
outhnanciered Adolph in Milwaukee |
Friday evening. WolgaSt did MOI |
think the fight would draw as well as
It did and he sold his end to Mulkern
early in the week for $4,000 II he |
had taken the percentage privilege |
offered him he would have collected |
sS,s23.50 So Mulkern is ahead OF him |
Just s523.50 on the deal.
The Milwaukee show attracted a
gate amounting to $12,S9S. Rivers |
had guarantee of $4,000 and 80 |
per cent privilege. He drew down
t3,I0S for his half-hour's work, but |
took mauling to get the money:
Both the promoter and Rivei Jared |
way, but AID feels pretty proud OF
himself and is fairly well satisfied
with his $1,000.
CHARLIE WHITE and Manager |
y Nate Lewis returned yesterday
from Buffalo, where White had hot |
tight with the big Jimmy Duffy on
Friday night. Said Lewis:
Duffy showed up at the scales
overweight at o'clock. He was sup
posed to scale 1873 and was two
pounds over. He weighed all of 1873 |
when he got in the ring while White
was not heavier than 1871, ] would |
not have permitted him to fight at
all II 1t had not been that we hated
10 disappoint the 5000 fans who flock
90 into the Buffalo Auditorium.
AS 1t Is, | am glad / let White
START against Jimmy. Charlie really
outfought him, and I would not say
mat unless it were true. | looked forfI
an adverse decision in the Buffalo
gapers, and got 1t in a few instances
6ut those present know that White
Won
Charlie is the idol Of Buffalo now,
tnd they want him there for three
matches. I came close to signing up
Ior them, but when ! heard that VOL
East had whipped Rivers ! decided to
Jump West with Charlie and go after
Adeiph. know that a couple of Mil
Ndukee clubs want the match, and |
Z IN ready to sign any minute 1t is
w TO Wolgast. You say AID was
nueh better against Rivers than he
vas when White shaded him. That
: not worrying me. White will also
We much better the next, time he
s.Sfls with the Dutchman. He'll
,~onllp him, too, and then claim the
20 pound championship"
narlie has signed to meet any
,ne Tom Andrews selects for him at

H be Wolgast. If AID refuses to
~, Isel White again Harlem Tommy
