A D WOLGAST denies that he in- tends to retire, but, in all prob ability. “The Dutchman” will soon have dropped as completely out of the sight and hearing of the box ing world as has that other great lightweight veteran. Battling Nelson. In the parlance of the game. “Wol- gast is through.” The finish of Ad’s professional career has been has tened. In the ordinary run of events he should be holding the world’s 133- pound championship. The operation for appendicitis in 1911 cut down the little fellow’s stam ina and left him but a shadow of his former fighting self. Then, too, 'n late years Wolgast has “gone the pace.” He touched all the bases while playing the “wine, women and song” game and grew slow and Indolent. Utter disregard of training duties was another factor in sending this wonderful little fighter to a back seat. In his losing bout with Willie Ritchie, the two battles with “Harlem” Tom my Murphy and Labor Day’s tame affair with young Azevedo It was ad mitted by Ad that he had not re spected training camp rules. YY7 OLGAST’S ring performances ** should be carried in the record book for the next hundred years to come. It is doubtful if we will ever again have a lightweight champion so ready, willing and durable as the Cadillac lad. Just as Jim Jeffries In his prime laid low the heavyweights, man after man, so Wolgast cleaned up the 133- pound division. Ad was a terror to the promoters, naming his price and getting it, but he asked no favors. The tougher his opponent the harder Wolgast fought, and no legitimate contender for the championship was ever refused a match. W OLGAST won his title in one of the most vicious and stubbornly contested battles known to the history of the Queensberry game. At Point Richmond, on the after noon of February 22. 1910, he stood for 40 rounds—40 rounds of savage and pitiless milling — against the Dane, Battling Nelson, whipping Bat at the latter’s own game—endurance. In the end Referee Eddie Smith stopped the contest to save Nelson from needless punishment. It was a clean-cut victory, and no champion ever had a more honest right to his crown than did the “Mich igan Wildcat,” as Ad was then called. * • • D URING the first half of the year 1911 Wolgast placed himself in the open market and as champion defended his laurels* against practi cally every top-notch lightweight in America. Not once was Ad guilty of picking a “set-up.” He worked for the Phila delphia, New York, San FTancisco and Los Angeles promoters and in each instance the promoters were allowed to name his opponents. In reaching for these the magnates picked the cream of the 133-pound class. AFTER hl« two no-decision bouts with the then respected Easterner. “Kayo” Brown, the champion worked in his best form, .scoring knock-out victories over his five most dangerous challengers. The hard-hitting and tigerish Bo hemian boxer. George Memsic, was stoppel in the Vernon ring In nine rounds on March 17, 1911. Two weeks later Ad took on Anton Lagrave in San FTancisco, knocking out his man in five rounds. Less than a month later Wolgast had returned to New York, trained one short week and scored a two- round knock-out over “One Round” Hogan. At the end of another month he had recrossed the continent and, after a hard 17-round bout. sent young Frankie Burns to the canvas Ad followed by knocking out Owen Moran in thirteen rounds. • • • T HE following fall the appendicitis operation disabled Wolgast and he has been “going back” ever since. “Cherokee” Tom Jones is author ity for the statement that Ad has aaved $100,000 from his earnings, which ran over the $240,000 mark. There is no reason why Ad should ever enter the ring again. He will always be respected for what he has accomplished and his path leads in but one direction—retirement.

After the team started to skid, Charles “Holiday” lived up to his nickname by declaring a half dozen holidays at his ball yard, each one bringing a nice re sponse at the turnstiles. With his surplus from this year's earnings. Ebbets has promised to bolster up the team and give Brooklyn a full season pennant contender next year. The Phillies, by handing a double de feat to the Braves yesterday while the Giants were taking a single contest from the Dodgers, gained a half game and are now seven and one-half games be hind the leading New Yorkers.
