Ten't it funny that something al- ways happens $i the light: | ight champion is about to box a bout t Packey McFarland?

When Ad signed to meet on in a ten-round bout in New he had @ notion that about $100,000 | 4 be fair remuneration for his in- juable services. After much dicker- he accepted a guarantee reported be $22,800, with a $600 bonus for sign- Another report Js that Wolgast his $600 and a guarantee of for his thirty minutes’ work, th @ percentage, and fifty-one per @ent. of the moving picture money. ‘Tee champion thought that the pictures ‘would be worth a fortune. He was told What the McFarland-Wells pictures did ot pay expenses, whereupon he ex- Plaimed; “Huh! But I'm in these, and couple of soaks into Pack-| that'll Ynake ‘em = worth, » when he learned about the new Jaw and figured out just how much less the pictures would be worth because they could be shown only in New York, | Wolgast sat down and scribbled indui triously on a telegraph blank. The re- sult of hig work was a suggestion that ft wouldn't annoy him at all to be of-| fered about $10,000 more to make up for the moving picture slump. He didn’t make a regular demand—just gave the promoters of the bout a gentle hint. ‘The gentlemen with the money in- formed Woilgast that, desolated though they were over the thought that they wouldn't be able to load the champion pada with an armful of yellow- juch was the unfortunate state by affairs. And the next day Ad cranked his car. F course, this may be merely one O more of the misfortunes in the career of Wolgast. Perhaps he) really hopes for @ ten-round bout with ‘MoFarland, gnd won't be happy till he gets it. He had « genuine attack of appendicitis on the day before hia bout with Freddie Welsh, and was forced to can that off. If the champloo really has inured his arm, far be it from all who follow the sport to wish to see hun in the ring with McFarlang, Je'll need two F or arms when he meets Packey. Wolxast may hhve been .a Mttle unfortunate, oracking an arm on @ eecond-rater immediately after win- ning the championship from Neleon, and having that rebellious appendix, ané running counter to hig motor car doubt thet when he game as they make ve and cockey and champion as the ring ever owned. I have seen a number of people who Fat at the ringisde when Wolgast boxed Rivers a short time ago, and they one nd all say that Wolgast fighting tn Los Angeles in a twenty-round bout Is . tirely unlike ¢! decision bouts lar fights, where decisions “go.” he h always shown himself to be the hotte hat was ever wrapped in small package.

For instance, the Red Sox beat the Highlanders twice on Labor Day by the extremely small scores of 2 to 1 and 0, Though their own batt couldn't hit that day, they had the Dlichers who were equal to the occasion and could stop the opponents. The loss of those two games to the Athietics was a rather sai blow to the Hilltops, 4% they have been moving’ along rather smoothly.
