AID WOLGAST WILL
STAGE A COMEBACK

New York. Dec. 17'-A few weeks
ago, the boxing world was informed
that Ad wolgast. the Michigan
Bearcat and former lightweight
champion. intended to return to the
squared circle. Fistic fans did not
take the threat seriously, but how
ever. according to word from the
Pacific Coast. Ad is busy preparing
himself for the comeback in a Los
Angeles gymnasium. Not only is
the once famous gladiator getting
ready for future ring contests, but
he has even gone so far as to ap-
point a manager. Wolgast has Sc
lected Hobo" Dougherty to I'LL the
position once held by Tom Jones.
Dougherty was recently discharged
from the submarine base at San
Francisco, where he has been hold
ing forth for about year. This is
the second time that Dougherty has
been interested in Wolgast's affairs.

GOOD BOXING EXHIBITIONS
STAGED AT LIBERTY HUT

who staged the bouts. gave speech
on the good results derived from
boxing by our Sammies. The short
address follows:
Because of large public de-
mand, am staging tonight the last
public boxing exhibition between SOL
diers before rehabilitation. In sat-
isfying tbs demand, ] hope that l
shall attain several detectives. One
is to impress you with the value
of boxing to the fighting man; the
other is to stimulate your interest
in some approved form of exercise
those of you who need it-in the hope
that you will adopt 1t for your phys
ical. mental and moral betterment.
Il cannot impress upon you too
strongly the fact that nearly every
one of you need it, not only the mid
dle-agcd, but the youth as well. The
war has revealed to the world. as
nothing else could. our great national
strength. our unity of purpose, but
1t has revealed no less strikingly
our national weaknesses.
Pause for a moment and consider
the draft figures: One-third of the
young men in the first draft were dis
of physical defects. The percentage,
1t is claimed. would have been larger
among the older men. Is not this con-
dition appalling? Do you realize that
diseases of the vital organs have in
creased alarmingly in the past ten
years? Are You aware of the fact thai
100000 sick beds are daily filled n
this country and that 10000 people die
annually from preventable diseases?
What of our future? Because OF the
war We have become world leaders.
Opportunity as never before is at
hand. Are we prepared to accept it?
The period of reconstruction is begin
ming. Out OF it will come great prob
lens that will put us to the supreme
test. Let US wisely prepare TO meet it,
Our soldiers on the field of battle
have acquitted themselves with ad-
mirable valor and won imperishable
glory. Let not their sacrifices have
been in vain. We should guard with
jealous care the things they have won
for u.s. and bequeath to posterity this
glorious privilege OF freedom.

a new team last fall, the players were
not acquainted with the style of-play,
yet they sacrificed their standing in
the football world and the reputation
they had gained after years of hard

war work fund. 1t was a patriotic
act and should be rewarded. Georgia
Tech should be given recognition next
year.

COMMY HANDS
RAP T0BAN B,
President of White Sox Fa-
vors Frazee in Roasting
Johnson.

Chicago. ILL.,, Dec. l7.-Ban Johnson.
president of the American League
has no authority to order President
Frazee to sell the Boston Red Sox,
according to Charles Comiskey. said
the old Roman who came to bat strong
for the Hub magnate today in an
interview bristling with interest Tor
the baseball fans.
Commy was caught in the mood to-
day and proceeded TO hand out one
OF the awful jolts of the year in the
baseball off season of surprises and
upsets.
"I have attended every meeting In
which Frazee has been since he came
into baseball" said President Com
iskey. land have never known him at
any time to take an end in an srgu-
ment except one that would bene-
fit the game.
The subterfuge on which John
son would force Frazee out of the
American League is that he has
gambling in his park. No greater
joke was ever perpetrated. ] per-
sonally know that Frazee has taken
measures as have all magnates to
suppress gambling and keep the
gambling crowd from Fenway Park.
why then should johnson keep harp
ing about gambling at Fenway Park
under Frazee? II Johnson has the
good of baseball at heart he will lay
off from the gambling end of il and
not be so interested in buying out the
owners in the American League"
This interesting bit of language EN-
anated from Comiskey today in a fan
ming bee of Woodland bards who were
dissecting the baseball situation at
Comiskey Park. 1t all ended by all
giving Commy a unanimous vote Of
confidence in any fight he may enter.
We are with you hook. line and sink
er" said the chairman OF the impromptu
session t'fHt had Ban Johnson on the
pan and tanned him up brown. Commy
reiterated that 1t was absurd for any
persons to arrogate so much authority
to himself that he imagined he could
put teams in and out of the American
League TO suit the peculiar whfrns and
caprices of his inflated mind. When
Commy was through all agreed that il
was the finest little job of panning
and roasting done up in a neat Christ
mas package ever handed a person
since the construction of Comiskey
Park and the building OF the Bards'
trophy room. the most unique place
of its kind in the world.

Freddy Welsh. the ex-light-weight

this clash Sergeant Speno, from Po-

cause of the shift-and-h hop tactics.

Yesterday. it was reported that
Leonard would meet White in Mil
waukee next month, but since the
boxing outlook has become so bright
in Illinois, Gibson now intends to
wait developments in the wealthy
Western State.
The Leonard White match in Chi
cago would be worth ten times the
amount it would draw in Milwaukee.
Chicago never has seen Leonard and
would turn out freely to see him. 1t
looks like a clever managerial move.
