SUSPEND WOLGAST
FOR SIX MONTHS
Boxing Board Chairman Says
Former Champions Trouble
Was Only Fatigue.
CROSS ALSO IN TROUBLE

Ad wolgast. former lightweight cham
pion. was suspended for six months yes
terday by the State Athletic Commission
on the technical charge Of breach of con-
tract. Back Of this was the statement
made by Chairman Fred Wenck Of the
commission that wolgast was no, doing
his best In the bout with Leach Cross at
the Harlem Sporting Club last Friday
night. Tho bout was stopped In the
sixth round.
Wolgast did not appear at the meeting
of the commission yesterday 10 consider
the charges against him. The principal
evidence was submitted by Chairman
Wenck. The chairman was at the ring
side when Cross and Wolgast went
through their six round on Friday. He
gave It as his opinion that Wolgast was
not trying and had a doctor examine
the fighter before he left the ring.
Wenck stated that the doctor found all
that was the matter with Wolgast was
fatigue.
IL appears that in making his contract
to box against Cross the former cham
pion stipulated that he would not take
part in any other boxing contests until
after his bout with Cross. John Rcisler,
manager OF the Harlem Sporting club.
said that Wolgast had violated this
clause by taking part IN a bout at A.
lanta last Tuesday. The severity q. the
sentence OF six months suspension was
believed TO be due TO the strong state
ments of Chairman Wenck AZ TO the
character OF the wolsast-Cross go. and
he was supported by the other members
OF the commission, Frank Dwyer and
John Franey.

she was his wife at all.
