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. Big Hockey League Ncfw Being Planned CL.EVEEAND, Sept. 10.—An organiza- ion has practically been completed of a hockey league composed of several ,-rack teams in the United States and Canada The promoters back of the ^ag£e say that hockey has become the -nost popular winter sport in this coun- try and the professional games »ast win- '"ThTmomoTefs"belle^fhat with such ,'ities as New York. Boston, I'lttsbuig, Cleveland. Montreal. Toronto and sev eral other large cities in 'he league ‘he project will prove * big financial sue 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.” AT MONTREAL.
