WOLGAST TAKES
bic CHANCE IN
COMING CF|GHTS
Despite Match With Champion
Ritchie, Ad Continues to Bat
tie Third-Raters.
Bv w. w. Naughton.

CAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 23.-There
never was time when modesty
was a milestone around the neck
of Ad Wolgast. In a letter received
from the wildcat" in which he de-
clares that he is back in his old fight
ing form, and equal to the task Of
whipping any man of his poundage
on earth, the Cadillac youth styles
himself last and next lightweight
champion" If he had thought of It,
no doubt he would have signed him
self last, present and next lightweight
champion.
Wolgast is boxing rather frequently
for a fellow who has a bout with
worlds champion looming up in the
near future. He fought the other night
in Cincinnati, and he has a match at
Windsor, Ont, with Patsy Drouiilard
tonight, and another at Ionia, Micn.,
on the 2Sth.
Considering the way that Wolgast
clamored for a match with Ritchie it
might have been thought when the
opportunity he longed for presented
Itself he would have Cancelled al
pending ring engagements and held
him self in reserve for the important
occasion. Instead, he is tackling sec
ond and third raters as often as he
gets the chance
It is a notorious fact that Wolgast's
hands go wrong very easily. After
nearly every bout he figured in out
this way in recent years he went
around with his knuckles bandaged,
and he will be exceedingly lucky if he
comes through his February contracts
fist-whole.
II is to wonder if it occurs to him
if he is forced to withdraw from he
affair with Ritchie owing to injuries
received at Windsor or Ionia, he may
never get within striking distance Of
the championship again. But Wolgast
is no better and no worse than The
average man of his calling. They
never balance the scales of things
with any degree of Judgment.
