Jo Biff Suddenly Demonstrates That He Is Strong on Strategy in an Emergency
FANS GREET WOLGAST;
WELSH NAMED REFEREE
Lightweight Champion Sure of Victory When
He Faces the Butchertown Boxer
WILLIAM J. SLATTERY
Ad Wolgast, lightweight champion of the world and one of the brightest
lights in the pugilistic sky, arrived yesterday from Los Angeles to prepare
for his meeting with Antone La Grave in this city next-Friday evening.
This marks the first visit which the title holder has paid San Francisco since
"c won the championship from Battling Nelson over at Richmond 13
months ago!
Accompany Wolgast '•ere his wife, his manager, Tom Jones, and his ever
faithful sparring partner. liobo Dougherty. A large delegation of sporting
men, led by Promoter T. Clark. Eddie Graney and other celebrities, were
lined up to greet Wolgast at the Third and Townsend streets depot, and the
kittle fellow was given a great welcome, <
one of the most hearty and auspicious
in fact that has been tendered a cham
pion in many a day.
Five hour**, after the arrival of the'
champion, the referee for the coming
contest was selected. Jack "Welsh, the
choice of "Wolgast and Manager Jones,
was named without a squabble or a
•hitch. He was proposed by Jones, who
intimated that he v.-ouid make a battle
•for it if his rival in the game. Sam
.ti-iek. insisted upon another of
ficial. The choice, apparently, suited
I'Hzpatrlrk .to a nicety, so the deal
was closed without further ceremony,
»omethlna* unusual.in such cases.
. Neither Fitzpatriek nor Jones would
stand for Jack Johnson. "When Tro
■ meter Clark proposed the name of the
''i**** black champion there was a storm.
Both managers rose to their feet at
once and began to protest. •<,. '■
i'There will he no battle if we can't
get anybody but Johnson,*' thundered |
Jones. "I don't want a boxer to referee
under any conditions."'
* "Both myself and I,« Grave will get !
;*f>bs digging ditches if you try to put J
John? over," was Fltxpatrick'S mild
rejoinder. - *~
These outbursts were enough to con
vince Clark that he'could not hope to!
have the champion in the ring with
the little fellows. He stalled a while,
but he soon realized that his chances
bad been crushed..
■ Wnlgast and Jones are also very par
ticular about the forfeit money. Jones
insists that I-a Grave be compelled to
put up a separate forfeit for appear
ance as well as weight. This means
that the total sum will reach $2,000
instead of Jl,ooo, as the fans had been
lofiking for. -
"Wolgast is the champion and he is
not .taking any chances," says Jones.
"I want la. Grave to post two separate
forfeits,-one for weight and. the other
for appearance. If he does not,make
o the weight then I want it understood
that the $1,000 which he posts with
John Clark will be drawn j down by
Wolgast. This Is only fair, and I am
giving plenty of warning in the mean
time. The same goes If Wolgast fails
to make IS3 pounds ringside."
The champion looks just as dapper
and as spry as ever. '!■• gallantly
helped his bride off the train and then
faced the crowd.that gathered to meet
him. The little fellow.was quick to
recognize his old time friends and com
menced dealing his good, right hand
without delay. Two minutes after his
arrival "Wolgast was entirety at home
and at case. '* ' -•
Waiting automobiles conveyed the
champion and his party up town. The
usual order of business, was lived, up
to, and the party circled around for an
hour or more, taking In the sights. It •
was. Mrs. Wolgast'e first visit to the
city and she was greatly interested In
the various - sights. Wolgast, ,;. too.
quickly noted the various improve
ments. * * * .*•■ •!
Late in the afternoon the little cham
• plon found his way out to the Seal
Bock house at the .ocean,beach, where
he had already established - training
"quarters. lie got right on the, job
without loss of time and arranged
things to suit himself. Brig. ' and
early this morning. Wolgast will be
on the road and In the' afternoon he
will repair to the gymnasium.
"I am ready to. enter.: the ring to
morrow," said the champion after he
had: settled down. ' "That mixup'with
■Memsic was Just*a warmer for me.
Why. I had not even got started when
it was all over, - And Memslc "is .-a
tougli one, make no mistake. '„ He can
beat a lot of them who are hollering
for a chance at my'scalp. I have a lot
of respect for him. . ■." '
"Don't be afraid thai I will take any
chances with La Grave. I will get into
condition and I do not -have far to
travel either.- They tell me that he Is
a tough, rugged fellow who can take
quite a lacing. Well, the tougher they
are the better I like them. I know that
I can win. especially at It Is a twenty
round battle. Give -me the Marathon
every time.*^aßClpHoß)flHßESt^^
. "I am sorry that I could not get here
several days ago as I Intended, but
they, kept me In the* courtroom most
of the time,, so -the-best. I did:was to
wait around for the slginal to depart.
But I will make the best of my ..time
now that I am here. : Five or six days,
. work will fit me for a fifty round
battle and I know that this one will
never go twenty.'" ?'cHMHBNfII
The -chances are that the fans: will
be willing to wager at least 2 to 1 on
Wolgast:against La Grave.. While.the
contest looks one sided, 11,7 the in
terest is very great, principally for the
reason that; the king of -the light
weights' is to '.. show here for. the first
time since he annexed his title.
- Wolgast extends a hearty Invitation
to* all .the fans to come out to the
beach and watch him -' go through:his
workouts from now on. He will do
a lot of gymnasium'--' work this"• after
noon .but, the chances 'are that he will
not on the gloves with Dougherty
- 4111 tomorrow.
BEAN EATERS FLAY
ANGELS IN SLUGFEST
Thorsen Is Jumped on by Sox
for Ten Runs in Three -
, Innings
[Special^ Dispatch to The Call]
LOS ANGELES. March 24.—The Bos
ton hed Sox added another scalp to
their collection this afternoon by de
feating the Angels in the second game
of their series by an 11 to 4 Store.
The game was too one sided in the
first five innings to be interesting. The
defeat of the Angels may be charged
directly to the condition of Babe Thor
sen, who warmed',up nicely, but went
into the box half fit and with a sore
arm that prevented him from putting
anything-on the ball. Ho stayed on
the mound for two and a half innings,
during which time the Boston sluggers
found him for 10 hits and eight runs,
including one triple and two doubles.
After Boston had scored its eighth run
in the third with none out Dillon took
Thorsen out of the box and sent in
Kddle Klein, but the game already had
been won by Boston.
The first inning was a frightful ex
hibition by the Angels. Only four
errors were charged against Dillon's
tossers In* the entire game, but leniency
by the official scorer accounts for this,
as there must have been at least IS
misplays in the first round. Gardner
led off with a double to center. Hooper
bunted to Thorsen, who hesitated until
"both runners ..were safe. Speaker
singled to center and Gardner scored.
Lewis grounded to Dillon, who held
the other runners on the bags. , Wag
ner put the ball Into a. pot of paint
over against the bulletin board . and
Hooper * end ', Speaker registered, Wag
ner going to third. Janvrln fouled to
Akin, and Bradley lifted a dinky fly
back of Delmas, and he and Daley and
Teck ran Into close conference and
watched the ball drop safely between
them, while Wagner tallied. ■'.' Madden
raised a high one to short right and
Teck muffed it, Bradley scoring. Wood
ended the misery by grounding out to !
Dillon. * Another calamitous round was ;
number three, when four • more runs ;
were chased, across the pan by the |
Sox. * Los Angeles did not get started
scoring until the seventh, when they j
touched Hall for two doubles and one
run. In the eighth Inning three more
hits, one a triple by Dillon and a double
by Smith again, netted three runs.

SOX RECRUITS AGAIN
HUMBLED BY SEALS
BosionianS) Play Bush Ball and Danny
Long's Pennant Chasers Win 9-3 Game
JOE MURPHY
* The task of beating John .I. Taylor's recruits seems to be as easy for
the Seals as drawing their salaries. The case with which our minor leaguers
are bowling over these ambitious young tossers, who aspire to play in the big
brush, is getting monotonous. Another defeat Was the visitors' share of yes
terday's conflict at Recreation park, and while defeats are at times excusable,
there is nothing "to offer for the Bosnians' showing. Nine to three tells
the story. The recruits gave just a plain exhibition of how the national pas
time is played in sandlots. It was a painful one for the small gathering of
fans to sit through. *
. The game was entirely devoid of interest. The Bostonians were beaten
from the outset and,, as the game pro--*
gressed, their chances of victory- be
came more remote, y Lorig's tossers
broke into the running early by open
ing up. on Moser, formerly of Oakland
in the initial frame, and sampling his
delivery for four blngles, which netted
a like number of runs. This seemed to
encourage the local players as they
kept on fattening their lead during the
succeeding innings.
Moser lasted three frames on the hill
and was retired on account of lack of
ammunition. . O'Brien waS" t"**te gun
man to succeed Moser,'and he went
along for thrafi^jframes.*' but did not
prove to be a sharpshooter of any ex
ceptional ability. Pale, a husky youth,
finished ; out the Job: and he showed
something more than good health by
getting through the remaining innings
by allowing but * one hit and nary a
run. y „; .- " , . - ■ *
Eastley worked the *.. opening ■ four
frames when Miller "* went In as . a re
lief. The former was a. mark, too, as
the Sox banged him about rather free
ly. Miller went through his 'part
without missing any of his lines and
he showed a clean sheet while on the
hill,; as the. four hits made oft him re
sulted in naught.
.' Powell started .the cannonading In
the opening round by bombarding one
of Moser's • offerings into center. Mc-
Ardle * raced ; out ;an infield hit. Ten
nant " leaned against one, which .tapped
the rightfleld fenc/s and Powell In the
meantime * found his way home. y Car
man walked, filling the;bags. "Captain
Mohler honored '*,us with a double,
which cleared: the paths, -y. .>>;"'*:
" The Reals helped themselves to .two
more runs in the second " frame on a
couple of safe. hits. Powell walked and
McArdle was belted In the slats* by one
of : Moser's • curves. Melchlor trans
planted a - hit into " right and Powell
and McArdloj arrived on time.

‘RED’ BOWSER MAKES
GOOD IMPRESSION
Captain Wolverton of y Oakland
U Pleased With the New
comer's Style 7 t
OAKLAND, March 24.—The Oaks had ;
a fine workout at Freeman's park this I
afternoon, 20 players being in uniform'
and going through their stunts under
the direction. of Manager Harry ffet
verton. .It was originally Intended to
have a real game between the Regulars
and Yannlgans, but Wolverten changed
his mind at the last minute and Jet it
go at a good all around,workout,
■,•** "Red' Bowser, the sensational Flint
outfielder, was In uniform for the first
time and showed a world of class, Wol
verten gave his pitchers the order ,to
smoke the pellet ever the pan when
Bowser came to bat, The recruit showed
that he was ; there with the willow by
slamming the ball to the most remeta
corners of the lot, After seme batting
practice Bowser placed first base, not
wanting to, get too far away from the
home : plate, as his throwing arm is
hardly in condition yet. "Red" accepted
the. many chances offered him like a
real ball player and Wolveron was par
ticularly pleased with the form dis
played by the newcomer^
The regular , players were on deck
with the exception of Maggart and
Mitae. Mag-ran had a date. with the
doctor and Mitse Is a little bit under
the weather-, Maggart injured* the shin
bone of his right foot |a week ', ago and
has I been 'limping ever •■ since. v Nelson,
Christian { and Jim Wigga worked *j out
with Tiedemann, and Bunny, Pearce ac
cepted the offerings of Pernoll. Knight
and President Ed Walter,. The big chief
of the Oaks had a world of speed on the
ball and if any of his pitchers fail him
this year .. he could Jump in and do "a
whole lot of good far himself and his
club,. ■^t&p&x&i%S&SiSp&Spt&&&RßM
• The Oaks will play- the Phoenix team
of, St.* Mary V' college Sunday afternoon
at Freeman's park and Monday will
leave for Sacramento to . start th**
