Wolgast had the best of the work in olinches and broaks, but was very foul, holding with one hand and hitting with the other, heeling, butting and using his etbows, After the fight Wolgast olaimed that he droke his arm again in the thin round.

The trouble between the Games Com: mittee and the P. 8. A.
