Wolgast Will Surely Box Again
Loves Game Too Much to Quit
RISES IN ITALY
Fernando Altimani Covers Over
Eight Miles in One Hour—Is
Youngest at Game.
By James S. Mitchel.
(World’s Champion Weight Thrower.)
A .J out-and-out walking “phenom”
has come to the front in Italy,
and he has begun to make
athletic history In such an astound
ing manner as to make the European
experts gasp with awe. The name
of the young wonder is Fernando
Altimani. and he has been at the
heel and toe game only about two
years. But. young though he is, the
lad from the sunny land knocked
flinders off the one-hour world's
record at Milan, and to make sure
that there was no fluke about the
style of walking or the time, several
outside expets on walking and ex
perienced timers were invited to wit
ness the performance.
r*> the hour Altimani covered 8
miles 677 1-3 yards. This blotted out
the world’s record of 8 miles 43S
yards Standing to the credit of G.
E. Earner of England, since 1905.
The Italian is also far ahead or the
professional record made many years
ago by Johnny Meagher, an American
who had no equal for fairness and
speed in his day. .
Earlier in the season Altimani mad©
an assault on Larner's mark ani
beat it by something like twelve
yards, and this close shave aroused
more or less suspicion that the cor-
rert rules of record-breaking were
lot observed. Those who doubted
he youngster’s effort were not awar_.
hat he had undergone a long and
-areful preparation for the ordeal,
ind that since he was seen in the
talian championships he had Im
proved wonderfully.

S AN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13.-*-Ex-
Champion of the World Ad Wol
gast # is a victim of conflicting
emotions. On the evening of the day
on which he lost to Joe Azevedo in
ten rounds at Oakland, Wolgast said:
“I'm through. I have «nough
money to live upon and I’m not going
to stay around and be a chopping
block for fellows who would have
been pie for me a couple of years
ago.”
Sitting in the writer’s den a few
nights later, Wolgast said:
“Well, I would not exactly say that
Fm through. It would be awkward if
I made a crack of that kind, and
then an offer came along guarantee
ing me three thousand or so to box
somebody six, eight or ten rounds.
For that matter I have had a couple
of offers already. I’ll say this much,
though: I don’t think I’ll fight again
this year. I'm not sure that I’d grab
at a chance to box next January even.
But I’ll keep right along fighting, Just
as sure as you’re bom, and you’ll
hear from me, too.”
It is the writer’s belief that If a
suitable proposal comes along a
couple of months from now, Wolgast
will forget all about his determina
tion to hold aloof for the balance of
the year. For If ever there was a
case 6f vacillation personified, Wol
gast comes pretty near to being it.
The trouble with Wolgast is that
fighting is his hobby. Some dethroned
ring idols can find relief from their
troubles In hunting, fishing, automo-
biling or what not, but for little Ad
the clang of the gong is the siren’s
song.
When he has no fight in prospect
he mopes about like a lost sheep.
When he attends a glove contest as
spectator he is the most wretched be
ing the lamps beam upon. Some
fighters can enjoy a night off, but Ad,
when he sees the other fellows get
ting ready and hears the bleachers
bellowing, It looks as though he was
railing at fate for keeping him out
side the ropes.
Knowing these things. I take no
stock in anything Wolgast may say
ir reference to temporary retirement.
• • •
T HE writer witnessed the Azevedo-
Wolgast ten rounds and made up
his mind that it marked the passing
of Wolgast as a provider of sterling
Queensberrv entertainments. But Ad,
after thinking matters over, is there
with an alibi.
“You’ll admit,” he said, “that I
came out of the ring without a mark.
You have to admit It, for that fel
low did not place a glove on me hard
enough to kill a fly. Now for my end
of It. I was a sick man. I contract
ed a heavy cold a day or two be
fore the bout, and had to stop train
ing. I had sharp pains through my
chest and under the shoulder blades.
There was no fever to speak of, and I
thought that when I got Into the ring
and warmed up a bit I would feel
better. I soon saw that I was up
against it, so far as getting started
was concerned.
“It hurt me to breathe, and it hurt
me when I bent over. I ducked just
once, and I thought something snap
ped at the nape of my neck. It was
the same when I tried to crouch. The
only way was to stand up and cover.
You noticed how he shoved me
around. Well, he Is a strong boy, all
right, but If I had not been in such
poor shape he couldn’t have taken
liberties like that with me.
“He used to get his head under my
chin and shove. Why, I'm the orig
inal kid at that kind of stuff, only
that day I couldn’t bend my neck. At
that I was a little surprised when
they gave him the decision, for I hurt
him more in one or two rounds than
he hurt me in the whole contest.
“To make a long story short, 1
know I can do better, and I’m going
to put myself to the test. The only
thing I'm sorry for is that some of
j my friends lost money on me. You
know w’hen you are champion every
body bets on you. but when you have
had a reverse or two, it's just your
friends that stick to you and place
their coin on you. And it’s for these
friends I am sorry.
“I have just come from the doctor,
and he tells me I have a touch of
pleurisy. That’s what ailed me when
I fought Azevedo. I was in much the
same condition as when I boxed Jack
Redmoiiu once in Milwaukee. But
these things pass away and I’m going
to get right. If I felt the way you
critics seem to feel about it, I’d never
pull on a glove again. But I’m not
satisfied, and that’s why I’m going to
keep right along fighting.”
• • •
IIAVING got himself thoroughly
I* worked up. Ad broached the sub
ject that is dearest to his heart. He
hates to let go as long as there Is
even a remote prospect of getting an
other crack at Willie Ritchie.
It’s a way the ex-champions have—
or, at least, the ex-lightweight cham
pions. Battling Nelson always called
Wolgast a “cheese champion.” Ad
refers to Ritchie a* a “fluke cham
pion.”
Said he: “I don’t care if Ritchie is
defeated before I get around to him.
I Just want to show that Wolgast id
Ritchie’s master. He admitted as
much even after he w#n my title
a w’ay from me on a foul. He said
that afternoon in the hearing of some
of my friends in the Turkish baths
that It would he a cold day when he
would give me a return match.
“Now, it’s my aim to place him In
such a position that he will have to
fight me. But, of course, I’ve got to
show the public something or I won’t
receive much encouragement.”

Boys’ Nor folks
With Two Pairs
“Knickers”
Norfolks have the style, and
so they’re well liked by the
boys.
Muse Norfolks also have the quality—the quality of fine ap
pearance, and the quality of good wear. They’re well liked by
those who buy clothes for boys.
The Norfolk with two pairs knickerbockers is the suit pur
chase to please everyone. They’re tho double duty sort, that save
up oue pair while the other works.
They afford the best pants proposition ever put on a hoy—
the rollicking real hoy. Is that your kind?
Then these are your kind of clothes.
