JOE WELLING REAL
LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMP.

New York, March 1o-"Joimes JOY
johnson, better known as the boy bandit.
comes forth with a long and lusty howl
In behalf of his protege. Joe yelling.
Says Joimes:
II see all the so-called light-weights
like Charlie White. Benny Leonard and
Ritchie Mitchell-who aren't in the habit
Of doing better than 13S pounds ringside-
want to be known as Americas light
weight champion. And they are all lay
ing claims to this title without ex-
pressing a willingness to meet my boy,
Joe yelling. Why?
THE above boys all fear yelling They
would sooner annex the American light
weight title without meeting Joe. who
is the legitimate claimant. yelling got
there first, and II they are better fighters
than he, why don't they consent to try
their hands at proving It?
"All these would-be American light
weight champions have 70 do Is meet
yelling at the legitimate limit, 13S pounds.
at any time or place.
THE reason is this: They cannot and
will not make the weight. They are not
real light-weishts in the 133-pound class,
and this more than any other thing is a
strong argument in Welling's favor. He's
the real American lightweight champion.
and he stands ready to prove it any time"

WOLGAST ON ROAD To
PUGILISTIC Oblivion
Former Lightweight Champion
Now Broken in Health.

Chicago, March lo.-Ad Wolgast, the
wildcat" is tanned at last
Too many battles and beatings have
laid the former terror low, until at the
present moment not even his friends are
allowed to see him. II is the grand finale
Of an unfortunate career-the greatest
hard luck tale in the annals of pugilism.
Here is the Casualty list" since VOL
CAST won the worlds lightweight cham
pionship from Bat Nelson in forty rounds
in 1910:
He has suffered i've fractures Of his
arms. The accidents occurred in battles
with Tommy Mcfarland, Jack Redmond.
Freddie Welsh. Dauber Jaeger, and while
training for Rivers. He broke both
thumbs. In one OF them. after two opera
lions, the splintered bone was finally
wrapped with many feet of fine silver
wire. Ritchie broke his nose for the
third or fourth time. The bones in each
hand have been splintered many times
principally in his battles with Ritchie.
Nelson, Tommy Murphy, and Oakland
frankie" Burns. In addition TO these
fractures. Ad has suffered pneumonia,
and was operated on for appendicitis the
day before he was to have fought Welsh
in Los Angeles.
Do you wonder that the average fan
never appreciated what a great fighter
he was? Rarely was Ad able to show
his real ability. Those who have seen
him at his best unite in pronouncing him
one Of the greatest fighters that ever
wore a glove. He was well worthy of his
sobriquct-''The Wildcat" And despite
his many accidents. wolgast ''risked" his
title more often than any other cham
pion. He gave his rivals thirty-four
chances at his crown

NO OLYMPIC GAMES
until PEACE REIGNS
Action of German Committee in Chang
ing Name Has Aroused Speculation.

The action of the German Imperial
Olympic committee In changing it's title
to the German Imperial Committee for
Bodily Exercises" has aroused much
speculation among athletic authorities
throughout the world.
Many close followers of Olympic sports
have expressed the opinion that the move
on the part of the German committee
is an intimation that Germany will not
compete in these international sports
after the war.
Others hold that the change of name
merely marks the taking over of other
duties and plans considered more ncces-
sary and pressing at this time in Ger
many than consideration OF future
Olympic meets.
In this connection It can be said that
the international Olympic committee
has not abandoned the idea Of these
games and that with the restoration of
peace In Europe there will be a deter
mined effort made to hold an interna-
tional meet within a year following the
official close of the conflict.
1t has been intimated that the gath
ering may he more than series of
athletic competitions; taking the form of
an international celebration of the resto-
ration Of peace. with imposing ceremonies
and psgents to which the nations Of the
world will be invited to send representa-
tive delegations.

HOROSCOPE.
Saturday, October -, 1917.

Astrologers read this as an unim-
portant day in planetary direction.
Uranus is friendly and Neptune ad-
verse.
1t is a day for finishing rather than
beginning anything. The stars dis
courage initiative as they indicst te
sudden changes in conditions, sur
priseS in the business world within
three months.
All the signs appear to foreshadow
trouble on the sea, the Pacific as
well as the Atlantic.
II the stars are interpreted Alright
the weather during the winter will
be as chanSeable and uncertain as
the reports from the centers of war.
Neptune seems to indicate that
secrecy will prevail in all public af-
fairs even more than is given out
and that when any decisive event in
the war takes place it will be un-
expected and surprising.
Under this configuration those who
are interested in dress have the as
surance that radical changes in style
for both men and women will follow
the war. These changes will develop
great extremes of simplicity anG
gorgeousncss.
Jupiter in Gemini Is most promising
for Belgium and indicates that
rehabilitation will be well under way
by the beginning of 1918.
Italy continues under an adverse
rule Of the planets which indicates
Internal troubles and much suffering

President Wilson is well protected
