Wolgast Taking an Awful Chance by Scheduling So Many Bouts CHAMPION MAY NEED REST AFTER MANDOT FIGHT By AV. W. Naughton. , A AN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18—In the matter of drumming up v fighting dates for Light-' •eight Champion Ad Wolgast. . pager Tom Jones is running F1 j.-k. And it stands to reason he : :ng so with the full knowledge consent of his fighter. it may be that Jones will keep *. • ■ with Jim Coffroth in the mat o of bringing Wolgast to San rancisco for a Thanksgiving day t 0 s.tr—the writer believes he will but there is no shutting one's pv to the fact that Jones is ang for bids from every promoter the country. a man is to be judged by his pt-. Jones would have Wolgast h.-v.ng every week between now an' Thanksgiving and every week bp een Thanksgiving day and Xcu Year’s. At any rate, he seems disposed to sign for any place where “the in ritrements are satisfactory.” and th' without giving a thought to the possibilities of defeat or acci dent that attach to any single en gagement. Why this recklessness? What does it all mean? Nerve—or the Getaway? I« it. as some suggest, that Wol gast feels the appendicitis opera tion has done for him as a cham pion and that he intends to bunch hf« fights and go on raking in purses until defeat calls a halt? <>-• is it, as others suggest, that Woigast’s faith in his own invin cibility amounts to a craze that he bpiieves he could defend his title successfully every day in the year if given an opportunity? Tn either case Woigast’s methods are not those of a level-headed champion nor Jones’ tactics those of an astute manager, and it re quires very simple lines of reason ing to show why. A world's championship Is the greatest asset any man who fol lows fisticuffs for a living can pos sess What is more, there is no gainsaying that accident or luck frequently enters largely into the attainment of a championship de gree. This is proven by the surprise that changes of championship have caused from time to time.

Prior to last November. when Wolgast was seized with appen dicitis at Los Angeles, he was the same a-s any other champion. He laid off a whole year once because he injuied his arm tn a fight. Then. If he told the truth, he merely ac cepted short bouts engagements for the purpose of finding if his newly mended wing would stand the brunt of longer matches. When satisfied with this pojfit, he took up his championship duties' again. He fought at intervals, but showed no undue haste in making matches. He kept Freddie Welsh at arm's length for quite a while, hut finally agreed to meet him in the Vernon ring. It was on the eve of the affair in question that Wol gast was taken down with appen dicitis Ad Certainly Confident. Here is something, by the .way which indicates that it is over confidence that aids Wolgast rather than a desire to make a quick clean-up before his strength’wanes entirely.

The Clemson Tigers have been buckling down to a lough job this week trying to get into shape for the taking of the scalps of the Auburn braves on Saturday on the Auburn field. It has been some time since the Ti gers have tested the sweets of vic tory over the Auburnites, but they are hopeful this season. Clemson made a rather disappointing show ing against Riverside last Satur day, but so did Auburn against the University of Florida. Clem son could have done better if the varsity had been put in at the be ginning of the game. The varsity did not go in for more than one quarter. True that was the last, when the Riverside boys were rath er fagged. The work of the Tigers was not up to the standard by a long shot, especially on the offen sive. The defensive work was fairly good. The game with Riverside showed several weak places in the line that have been receiving considerable doctoring this week. The line was off color The players seemed slow and uncertain. Time and again the smaller Riverside play ers bowled over the heavier Ti gers and got to the man with the hall before he had got into action. The heavy new men show’ed that they must go through much sea soning if they hope to hold the places that they were thought to have cinched. They have the weight and the grit, but they need action, and then some. Coach Murphy has been telling It to them straight this week, and they will likely show a different sort of go ing on Saturday. Coach Dobson has likewise been drilling the backs in the fine points of the game, and THE ATLANTA GEORGI AN ANT) NEWS.EKI DA Y, OCTOBER IK. mi 2. ing if he had recovered sufficiently to give his usual account of himself again# Rive s and the little cham pion. through his manager, ’was bargaining for other matches while the Rivers affair was still unsought. He wanted a date in San Francisco for late in July, and another for August, and yet another for Sep tember. He would haVe got them, too. if he had come through the Rivers match in shape to fill them The Rivers affair laid Ad on the shelf for a while. He admitted he was In a bad way and announced that all dates were cancelled, and that- he was going to his t'adil'ac farm to build up. The farm must have done won ders for him, if the wax Jones is scouring the country so. ring en gagements at present is to be taken as an indication. Unless the program is changed, one of Wblgast’s battles will be with Joe Mandot at New Orleans. To the average spotting man it seems as if Wolgast should refrain from signing any other set of arti cles until the New Orleans matter is disposed of. Joe Rivers sent Wolgast to the farm for a few months and then Mandot came along and defeated Rivers signally. What assurance Is there that Wolgast will not require anothe lay-off after the New Orleans go? he ®ees marked improvement In the way the men are handling them selves. Captain Rritt is still out of the game on account of a bad leg. and it now seems that he .will be out all season; in fact, for keeps, since this is his senior year. It is a keen disappointment not only’ to his team, but to ail the lovers of the game, as well as to himself, that he can not lead his men. He Is one of the sturdiest of linemen, not of the dashing kind, but always a hard, consistent worker. Gandy, another of ihe old men and one of the big fellows, has been out of the line for some time with stom ach trouble. He may get into the game with Auburn. James, a grit ty half, has about recovered from a similar trouble and is practicing again. ’ After the game with the Citadel on the Clemson campus.
