San 70 put the game on more COM
mercial basis By signing contracts with
several Of England's foremost boxers to
contest IN bouts and work under bis
management for a salary instead for
q purse OF spercentage OF the gate re-
saipts,
This IL the first time IN the history OF
the game that anything approaching this
has been attempted. and Il
"a reported that the scheme Is meeting
with success This fact Is srbstantiated
BY the willingness displayed by English
boxers to work under such an agreement

London finaneier are boxers who could
command their price before entering the
ring.

entered into BY the boxer and Mr.. White,

WOLGASY HAS A FEW WORDS
Says Present Crop of Lightweights
Remind Him Mostly Of Swiss
WELSH IN BAD, OTHERS WORSE

NEW YORK. FEB @.-.fwhat do I
think Of the present-day Eightweights7
Everybody seems to be asking me this
Same question" says Ad Wolgast BE
fore ! set under way I might as well
state have discovered that can do
a lot better In the fighting league, but
to get on with this story.
Il am going to begin by saying that
there Is no such thing as a 1ss-pound
division. You may cali them light
weights, ali right. but as far as maxi
ing the weight is concerned, the class
is joke. can name all the real
weightmalkers on one hand, and, as for
the rest, including Freddie Welsh. they
belong in the welterweight division, We'll
tiers or lights, stili think ! can beat
them.
Going down the line, welsh, above
all champions. Is the biggest Joke OF
them all, Bat Nelson hung the title OF
cheese champion on me after laced
him; but. believe me. the Battler never
saw the Englishman IN action. He's the
biggest frost fighting IN the ring today,
or any other day. II you listen TO me.
Charlie White is nice boy. but he
has not the pep to make a real boss
OF the division He Is one bird 1 am
ready 70 meet any time some promoter
says the word He sneaited through on
a popular decision.- when he met me be-
fore. and naturally l Nant another whiri
at him
welsh Can Lick white.
BE that as IL may. White has every
thing q fighter needs except the ambi-
ton 20 fight, have always said that he
cares too much about his looks 20 be
"a top-notcher, and I stiH cling to this
opinion. But give him q little aggressive
ness and the old fighting Instinct and
he would pc a bear. But any time he
hooks up with Welsh in twenty rounds.
IN take a ticket on Freddie. In ten.
things might be different
Willie Richie Is Impossible. Ho
never was great fighter and be got
the luokiest kind Of a break when
ne won the title from me on a foul.
Outside Of Welsh he Is the best pre-
liminary boy that ever sneaked to the
top without having the necessary cham
pionship ability. Both Of these fellows
would have made fine battiera against
such men a. Nelson or cans-perhaps.
Il do not know much about Joe
shugrue. but suppose ne Is like the
rest Of the no-decision champs. they
fight around the old home town ali their
life and pile up scores OF paper YER
diets without taking part IN real con-
test, The no-decision laws certainly have
made fortunes for a lot Of ham-and-
eggs boys There is lot Of difference
between a popular and referees decis-
ion"

vassed the situation with them, after
which il was stated that the ilotatiOn
of half million dollar loan for the

A further report is that the hnan

In the meantime the opposition be
ino created BY the German American
Alliance is growing in intensity. Yes

Conclusions Of investigators,
Which Will Be Forwarded To
Washington, Based On 0bser-
vations Of Expert Electricians
FUSES WERE BLOWN OUT
OF ALL FOUR OF THEM
Theory Of Cause Of Accident Ad-
VanCed BY The Advertiser At
Time Submarine Went Down In
Fairway Proves to Be Correct

WHILE nothing has been CIV
w en- out officially in regard to
results of the investigation made
into the causes of the disaster
which killed the crew of the sub
marine "a, and sent that craft a
dead ship to the bottom OF the sea
off Honolulu harbor; it is known
that the board Of investigation
will report to Washington that a
battery explosion was the direct
cause Of the accident. Fhisreport
will not be given out by the navy
department for some time yet, but
when it is officially made public
it will be learned that what The
Advertiser advanced the morning
after the F-4 was lost as the prob
able cause has since been proven
correct.
Battery Fuses Blown Out
When the hull of the F-4 had
been drained and entered. as it lay
upon the drydock, the first work
OF the investigators was to secure
a report from the flotilla electri-
clans upon the condition of the
batteries. The electricians report
cd that in each of the four bat
tcricS the fuses had been blown
out. TO create such a condition
there must have been a battery
explosion, resulting in short-cir-
cutting and the blowing out Of the
! fuses
1t is upon this condition, as re-
vcalcd, that the board will un-
duubtcdly base it's official report,
although absolutely no conhrma-
tiun is to be obtained from any
of the members Of the board of
investigation.
Similar Previous Explosions
There have been previous ex-
ploSions in this type OF boats in
Honolulu, caused by water leak
. ing into the batteries. Shortly
before the fatal explosion on the
"A, there was a minor explosion
caused by water in her batteries
. At that time, luckily for the men
1 they were aboard the mother shiI
, Alert at mess. This explosion die
v considerable damage to the bat
terry deck.
4 There are four batteries on thi.
o type Of boats, two forward, anC
two aft and the examination
showed that the fuses in each o
the four had been blown out
When the parts of the batterie
had been located in the hulk o
the "a, the particular section
l. containing the fuses were in gOo'
h enough condition to justify tn
L. foregoing findings.
