WO LGAST FEARS
PUBLIC’S MIRTH
INPACKEYBOUT
By Ed. VV. Smith.
IF it wasn’t that Ad Wolgast.
lightweight champion, feared
public mirth and was laying
himself open to the charge of being
“a. swell-headed little mutt," he
would box Packey McFarland at
any old weight that the Irish
man asked him to.
This is what the champion says
himself.
He is a bit careful right now of
what said public thinks of him.
That’s why he wants to insist
that McFarland make a. low weight
for him.
Also he is a bit afraid of what
the public will think of him when
he demands $25,000 for his end for
a 'contest, the affair to be ten
rounds in New York the latter
part of September.
Terms Are a Record.
Wolgast accepted an offer from
Emil Thiry, Packey’s manager, of
$7,500 for the pictures of the con
test. Thiry agreed to buy Wol
gast’s end outright for that figure.
Ad waiving all rights in consid
eration of that amount of money.
The remainder of the $25,000 is to
be Wolgast’s from the club —if one
can be found willing to give up that
amount—for boxing ten rounds
with McFarland. What the latter
is to get is a matter of conjecture.
Packey is said to w be willing to box
cheap in this contest because he
feels that the chance at Wolgast’s
title is more than enough pay for
him.
The figures would set a record
for a short contest.
Fears the Public's Laugh.
"Personally. I don't care very
much what McFarland weighs, as
I think that I can beat him as well
at 135 pounds at 3 o’clock as I
could at 133 at 3,” Wolgast said
during the argument. “As far as
1 am concerned, he could weigh 140
If he wanted to. but what would
the public say? They’d say I was
a swell-headed little mutt, and im
mediately would begin wishing that
1 get beaten, because of conceding
so much weight, and insisting upon
so much money for the contest.
As far as the money is con
cerned. there need be no worry
about that, because It surely will
come in at the gate. I charge high
prices, but the money always is
there.
"I can do 128 pounds at 3 o’clock
with ease. Why, at one time dur
ing my training for the Rivers con
test I scaled in as low as 123
pounds. You can believe it or not,
but it’s the truth. I was lighter
for him than I have been in many
a day.
Failures Have Been Many.
"I'd rather not box till Novem
ber. but if I can get these terms,
as Thiry thinks I can, I'll come
hack in September and meet Mc-
Farland. Naturally, we’ve had so
many failures in trying to get to
gether that I won’t believe the
match is on till I see the forfeits
going up.
"In the Milwaukee match Packey
agreed to do 133 at 3, but they
make the claim now that he is big
ger and can not do the figure with
safety."
As a matter of fact, McFarland
is unwilling at all times to do any
kind of a low weight. He still has*
the specter of Joe Gans before him,
. a man said to have been killed by
making unnatural weights.
Thiry believes that Billy Gibson,
of the Garden club of New York,
will grab at the match upder the
terms and will attempt to clinch it"
up with him at once.

DUFFY DENIES WHITE SOX
PAID SIO,OOO FOR SCHALK
COLUMBUS. OHIO, Aug. 3 The
reported sale of Catcher Ray Schalk
to the Chicago White Sox for SIO,OOO
is denied by Manager Hugh Duffy, of
the Brewers. Schalk is still with the
club, but probably will go th one of
the major leagues in a short time for
a big price, as many clubs are after
the brilliant young catcher.
The White Sox have been bidding
for Schalk. but. according to Duffy, no
offer of SIO,OOO has been received, nor
is there any promise to sell the young
ster to the Cnicago club.

SCULLER TITUS RETURNS
TO “WATER”ON FRIDAY
PEORIA. IL*L*., Aug. 3.—Al! doubt as io
whether Constance S. Titus, twice cham
pion single sculler of the United States
and Canada, will try to “come back.”
after an absence of six years from the
rowing world, has been settled by the
announcement of Captain Pacini, of the
Nonpareil Rowing club, that Titus will
compete in the national regatta here Fri
day. Titus intended early in the season
to row in several races to determine
whether his old time skill and speed re
mained. His failures to do so led to the
conclusion that he would not return to
the sport.
Pacini sanctioned the proposal to send
Titus to the national regatta after he had
seen the former champion in action in a
single shell on the Harlem river. The skill
and polished stroke that made Titus fa
mous in the rowing world, (’aptain Pacini,
said, are still in evidence. In his train
ing he has been paced by Schwartz and
Crowley, the club’s crack double, that is
also to row in the national.
TIE GAME BROKEN BY 30
RUNS IN THE 20TH INNING
KANSAS CITY. Aug' 3.—As an en
try in the freak baseball game com
petition an amateur game played in the
Junior league in Kansas City, in which
two teams went nineteen innings to a
2-2 tie, and in the twentieth one side
scored 30 runs and the other 9. proba
bly takes the lead. The game was
between the Yale Blues and the Bud
die Blues, two seventeen-year-old ag
gregations, and fifteen pitchers were
used in the contest.
Each team scored one run in the
sixth and each tallied one in the nine
teenth, and the game looked like it was
going to be finished some time after the
millennium, when the twentieth canto
arrived and the Yale blues in their
half scored just 30 runs. The Buddies
came back with 9. but lost the game
32 to 11.
DAVE SMITH MAY NEVER
BE ABLE TO FIGHT AGAIN
CHICAGO, Aug. 3.—Dave Smith, the
Australian middleweight, who was on Ills
way to this country for a fall campaign
in New York, will not be seen in this
country_and may never appear in the ring
again. He stopped over in England for
several matches there and while train
ing cut his foot severely by stepping on
a broken bottle while in bathing. It was
discovered that several tendons were sev
ered, and the physicians hold out little
hope that he will be able to use the foot
properly hereafter
