IF it wasn't that Ad Wolga-st, 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 oiler 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 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 1 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 I am concerned, he could weigh lln if he wanted to, but what would the public say? They'd say 1 was a swell-headed little mutt, and im mediately would begin wishing that I 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 back in September and meet Mc- Farland. Naturally, we’ve had so many failures in trying to get to gether that I won’t believe tin match is on till I see the forfeits going up. “In the Milwaukee match Packet agreed to do 133 at 3, but they make the claim now that be 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 under the. terms and will attempt to clinch it Up with him at once. BRALY WINS IN GOTHAM. NEW YORK, Aug. 3.

Hearst's Magazine will publish the best literature obtainable on two continents. It will publish the strongest fiction by the most noted authors, but even its fiction will appear with a purpose. This purpose will be the discussion in fiction form of the great questions that interest the great reading public of America and affect the progress of the world. Among the more notable Hearst’s Magazine features are Winston Churchill’s novel, “The ( Inside of the Cup,” illustrated by James Montgomery Flagg; a series of political short stories by David Graham Phillips, illustrated by Charles Dana Gibson; a series of short stories by George Randolph Chester, illustrated by Howard Chandler Christy; a series of letters between John D. Archbold, then vice-president of the Standard Oil Company, to prominent Senators and Congressmen—showing just how the Government of our nation is influenced and controlled by "big business,'' and other articles that will appeal to you just as strongly. Every feature of Hearst's Magazine is a “star” feature. All the news worth noting—here, in Europe, and in the Far West—of politics, science, religion and art will be told each month, a little more completely, a little more clearly, a little better than in any other publication.
