Ritchie took all Wolgast could give him, wan badly hatte: retained his strength and courage, and as soon as the champion flagged rushed him and had him nearly out after a few seconds of hard fighting.’ Wolgast, verhaps half realizing that he was « beaten champion, infuriated by that realization, struck foul and lost the “ Just after run of hard luck, was a climax that opened = th vials of wrath | As L understand sit shewspaner unt!
