and his usual line of talk. He told
enough and that he intended to knock
me out, as he had given the crowd a
run for its money.
Blow to Body Counts Most.
But he did not take care to guard
his body. He was too busy trying 10
brighten me with his talk. I noticed
that he was holding his hands up, and
saw where l had a grand chance to
whip in a good, effective punch.
AS we came out OF q clinch VOL
CAST raised his arms to his head, and
this little movement l believe, made
me champion ! whipped my right
into his body, and l can still hear his
groan and see { e pain on his face.
This blow counted more than the
one with which l fioored him in thu
sixteenth round. 1t was not noticed
by many, but those who did see 1t
paid little attention to 1t. But awav
down deep in my heait I know that
this blow took most of the fight out
of Wolgast and hurt him, for | saw
Tom Jones give him brandy In his
corner.
Right here | want TO say that I give
Harry Foley more credit than any
body else for winning the champion
ship for me. Although nv manager
Billy Nolan, was supposed TO be my
chief adviser, | paid more attention
to the orders which Foley gave me-
from my corner. In fact, he was the
man that ] had the most confide\ce
In.
Keep after his body, Willie" said
Foley. Every time you hit him
downstairs you shake him up. Dc
YOU think you can stand his
punches?"
yes; I can stand anything he
shoots at me- I replied. II have taken
his hardest ones already, and ! don't
think that he has much left. l fee
stronger now than l did in the fifth
round"
Anyhow, Wolgast kept tearing n
punch on my head and body. l was
| taking a beating right along, but hi,
| blows were not hurting me. He had
me badly cut up about the head, ana
my body was red, but I felt strong
and ] can truthfully say that never
once did feel the least bit groggy oil
weary.

But the question was to get him tc

Bv Willie Richie.

CAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13.-Ths
majority Of the people who saw
the twenty round championship
battle between Wolgast and myself
left the arena under the impression
that l won a lucky victory. and that
the champion should have knocked me
out l have been teSmed the luckiest
man in the fight game ever since. and
have been roasted repeatedly for not
giving Wolgast another chance.
While l am not looking for any
more credit than Is coming to me,
and while l am not trying to do any
boasting, | want to say in my own
defense that my victory over Woigass
was entirely on the level, and that II
he had not fouled me l would have
knocked him out, for l had him all
but finished when he struck that low
blow.
I don't know what was the matter
with Wolgast when we stepped into
the middle of the ring and shook
hands, but he certainly looked wor-
ried. He twitched and fiddled around
and that air of onfidence which he
had in all his other fights was not
there. ! studied him very closely, and
| did not make a mistake, no matter
what any of them say.
I went into that ring determined to
take a beating. | knew that he would
rush and tear around and land many
punches on me. ! trained myself for
lust such a battle But in the mean
time I figured that / could stand the
mace and come back strong, while
Woleast would tire and weaken If he
failed to put me away in ten rounds.
Takes Beating From Champion.
Well, the battle began and things
broke about the way l expected them
TO break, He came at me and played
for my head and my body with BON
hands. | did the best | could and
blocked many a wallop. but ] will ad-
nit that he shook me up. He was
strong and aggressive, and | know
that he was taking a desperate chance
to win as quickly as he could,
The fight went along for elgn'
rounds, and Wolgast had all the BET
ter OF it. He punished me severely
about the head and the body. He
kept covered up all the time, and
could not get at him. He gained more
confidence, and along about the sixtr
round he began to call me all kinds
OF names and told me how he Wai
going to knock me stiff.
He was champion, and ! made VI
nv mind that / would have to stand
for anything that he said to me. Be
sides, this line OF talk did not rattle
me. I heard It so often in my other
fights that / was well used to 1t. But
1t showed that Wolgast was getting
more confident.
I noticed that he began to slow
down in the eighth round, and l ais,
noticed that he was getting a BIZ
careless and not guarding himself as
he did at the start. And l also no
ticed that his blows lacked force.
He came at me with his usual rusF
me that he had let me stay Iona

~ ASHNlb+E, jan. io'Do uoI NC
Nj alarmed, gentle reader, If in the
next few days your eyes are
confronted with the headlines, "Artle
Hoffman Has Cast His Lot With the
Federals
That Circus Solly" is preparing TO

Brown, manager of the st. Louis Fed
erals is the tip going the rounds IN
the big circuit, and, knowing the
srudge Artie has against organized
ball in general, it Is easy to credit 1t
DESPITE the announcement that he
is anxious to lead the Volunteers f
Bill Schwartz finds himself out in the
cold, II is strongly probable that Hot
man will join the outlaws for more
reasons than one. The main one.
however, seems to be that the new
league can afford to pay him more
money than can the local club. The
Federal hackers seem to have money
TO burn, and while the salary Of a
Southern League manager is not more
than $4,000, they are offering punches
of kale like that for ordinary players
without any managerial worries al
tached.
NEWS emanatfng from akron shows
" that Holman has been in ST.
Louis on business" for a week Or
more. and it is generally believed that
he hurried there in answer to sum-
mons from Brownie" who is de-
rrous Of having him play the out
Geld. Artie and Mordecai have al
vays been chums since the "old days
on the Cub team, and there Is no play
or in baseball whom Holman holds IN
higher esteem, unless it be Frank
Chance.
Artie has long been opposed to the
baseball trust" declaring that ball
players were nothing more than
slaves, and his friends in this city
would not be at all surprised to hear
that he had cast his lot with the Fed
erals In the very near future.
THE announcement that King
l Cole, drafted by Frank Chance
from the American Association, had
attached his signature to Federal
League contract, means that the P. i.
will lose a mighty good HEAVIER next
year. The King did fine work after
Chicago sent him to the minors, ana
earned the right to again go up.
