WOLGAST AND MURPHY ARE SURE TO FURNISH A THRILLING BATTLE
ODDS OF 10 TO II
ARE BEING LAID
ON EX-CHAMPION
Murphy Stands a Grand
Chance if the Michigan
Lad Fails to Get Into
Proper Shape
WILLIAM J. SLATTERY
Although Ad Wolgast rules a 10 to 8
favorite over Harlem Tommy Murphy
fwo daj-e before their battle, still there
are thousands of fans throughout Cali
fornia who will string with the re
liable New Torker. The odds do not
express the sentiment of the populace
by any means. The big bettors have
installed the former lightweight cham
rion the favorite, and he Is sure to
remain the favorite till they square off
before each other in the ring at the
T>aly City arena on Saturday afternoon
in a 20 round battle that promises sen
sation after sensation.
Interest In the bout has increased as
the days have rolled by, and It will be
« near championship crowd at the ring
side, provided that the present run of
cummer weather continues. Both
fighters have been consistent perform
ers around San Francisco, and the fans
have not forgotten them. Invariably
they have rallied every time the little
fellows started, no matter who their
opponents might been.
The question of Wolgast's condition
lias worried hundreds of his former
admirers. They all realize that he is a
battling wonder when he is right, but
Jt is another question when he is not
right. His last four fights have been
disappointing, and as he only allowed
himself a limited space of time in
which to train for his next encounter
his boosters are naturally worried.
MURPHY IN GOOD SHAPE
It Is unnecessary to mention that the
Michigan boy will fight the fight of his
life against Murphy. Hβ realizes full
well that he must put the Harlem lad
out of the way if he ever hopes to get
another chance at Ritchie. The winner
of this go eventually will be matched
with the champion. Wolgast could
have secured the match without meet
ing Murphy, but now that he has signed
to tackle the harp he positively must
win or else slide back into the second
rate pile.
Murphy is considered a great fighter
in San Francisco, but not in the east.
He came out here with an ordinary
reputation only, but he fought like a
champion in his first start against
Owen Moran three years ago, and he
has been fighting like a champion here
ever since. Hβ has Improved with
every start and he made a regular ring
hero out of himself by flattening
Frankie Burns of Oakland in 17 rounds
last New Year day, when they made
him a despised 2 to 1 shot.
Wolgast may be working under
wraps to deceive certain parties. He
is a shrewd little chap and he has
pulled many a smart ring trick In the
past. He surprised them all when he
battered Lew Powell all over the ring,
and he even shocked them when he
won the title from Bat Nelson four
months later. Both times he was on
the short end, so he may have some
thing up his sleeve for this battle.
WOLGAST A PUZZLE
He Is seriously handicapped, how
ever, by his long layoff. From the
time he lost to Ritchie, nearly three
months ago. till last Saturday TV'olgast
shunned work. He lived in idleness
and he made this match with prac
tically no preparation. Now it is
simply a question of condition with
him. If he Is right, he can win. If he
Is not. Murphy stands a grand outside
< hance.
The lad from Harlem concluded his
raining yesterday afternoon by boxing
else speedy rounds with Johnny Frayne
nnd Eddie Miller. He was down to
weight and on edge and he worked
like a master at the game. All those
who saw Tommy perform left the San
Rafael training camp fully assured
that the New Yorker will be at his
very best when he responds to the
gong next Saturday afternoon.
He looks Just about the same as he
looked when he stepped in against
Burns more than a montto ago. He
seems to be full of confidence and
nothing worries him. If he is beaten,
he is bound to put up the battle of his
life. He fought Wolgast off his feet
for six rounds back in Plttsburg three
years ago, and he says that he is now
more confident than ever that he can
beat him decisively this time.
Wolgast did his usual daily workout
with Joe Mackey and Red Robinson,
going three rounds with each boy. His
speed was marked and his wind ap
peared to be vastly improved. He was
In better humor than he has been in
nince he started to work for Murphy,
and he Indulged in much kidding with
his friende.
FORMER CHAMP IX EARNEST
The little fellow apparently is in
deadly earnest and Is rather put out at
?*he line of criticism which has been
hurled at him since the match was
made. Hβ Is very proud and sensitive,
and when he takes a notion Into his
head, he generally goes through with
it. At least, he always has done so In
the pact, so it is only reasonable to
figure that he will play the same game
this time. He is doing far less talking
pnd much more work than he did when
he was preparing for Ritchie.
The betting is lively at odds of 10
to S, which looks like a fair price. The
big operators like the former cham
pion, while the so called pikers, have
been stringing with Murphy. He has
been on the phort end of every battle
h«5 ever fought in this city and, barring
two engagements, he brought the coin
home. No wonder he stands well with
ao many thousands of the fans.
Larry Ryan, the well known New
York sporting man, who came out with
Murphy, is said to be in line to bet a
big chunk on his fellow townsman.
Ryan is an old figure around Gotham,
where he has operated for years. He
has been a consistent follower of Mur
phy and the tip is out that he will try
to make one big cleanup on the Har
lemite this time. He may bring the
price up to even money.
GREAT CROWD EXPECTED
It is the prevailing opinion that Wol
gast must win within 12 or 15 rounds
or else the other fellow will get him.
Ad is sure to set the pace. He is a
natural rusher and always on the ag
gressive, while his opponent invar
iably allows his rival to set the pace.
He Is a better boxer and a superior
ring general, but he lacks the speed
and the dash which Wolgast possesses.
If the weather is fair, the crowd
probably will be as great as the one
which assembled when Ritchie won the
lightweight crown from Wolgast. The
fans from Sacramento, Stockton, Oak
land, Alameda, Berkeley, San Jose, Val-
Napa, Santa Rosa, and countless
wther cities already are lining up for
their tickets. All that is needed to
make the battle a success is a little
sunshine.

THREE SEALS GET
THE OFFICIAL AX
Pooh-Bah Ewing Tries the
Role of Lord High
Executioner
Three of the 1012 Seals fell by the
wayside yesterday. The ax of Lord
High Executioner J. Cal Ewing fell
with mighty force upon the head* of
Pitcher Bonner, Catcher Aver and In
flelder Bill Yohe. They still have a
chance, however, for they have been
detailed to report to the Spokane club
of the Northwest l<»-*ue.
The transfer of this trio makes it
very evident that Ewing intends to
weed out his squad thoroughly before
the spring training season starts next
Tuesday. Hβ is not strong for carry-
Ing any excess baggage on the trip.
Thirty players will be the limit this
time.
Bonner was a very erratic twirler
last season. He had the curves and , the
speed, but lacked the control, and for
this reason they were compelled to get
rid of him. Yohe looked like a live
prospect at the training camp last
season and played fast ball when he
returned here after the close of the
Northwest*league's season. The fane
will be surprised and positively peeved
to learn that Ewing has disposed of
him, especially as Wuffli probably will
not come to terms.
Aver Iβ the makings of -a good
catcher, but needs a little more ex
perience. Hβ was only a busher when
the Seals grabbed him last season and
did not know quite enough about the
game to render him valuable to the
club. He ought to round to form after
a eeaeon in the class B league. If he
does, the chances are that Ewing will
bring him back and make him a full
fledged Seal.
A. bunch of the other brush toseere
probably will be sidetracked before the
season opens, but they all will be srlveti
a chance to show their ability at the
training: camp. Ewlng has four or five
extra infielders and a bunch of extra
outfielders and pitchers on his staff, co
it will be a case of the survival of the
fittest when they line up for real
action.

Chief Cadreau, the Indian pitcher secured by
the Seals from Spokane, Bent in hie nlgned con
tract yesterday afternoon and announced hts In
tention to take the White Sox special train out
of Chicago today. Cadrean Iβ wintering in Min
nesota. He 1* regarded as a wonderful spltball
pitcher, but instead of using the *allTa, Ilk*
most of them, he wets the ball with a moist
aponge which he carries in blft back pocket.
Ewing is counting on the red man an one of his
leading slabeters. and h« will be glren eyery op
portunity to make good.
*■ . * *
A delegation of Francisco fan*, headed by
Tresident Banm. C'al Ewin* Umpire Jack Mc-
Carthy and other notablea, will greet the White
Sox special at Sacramento Sunday morning. The
b<x*tern will take the Saturday erening train
and gather at the depot to shake hands with the
Oid Roman and his flock. Then they will bop on
the special and accompany the Sox to thia city.
They are due to arrive early In the afternoon,
and the following morning they will strike out
for Paso RobJes, there to limber up for a week
before they start agalnet the San Francisco and
Oakland Hubs. Several Oakland and San Kran
fibco player* are. due on th« Sox special, but the
magnate-; do not know for certain h«vw many of
them wtll report. Some of tbetn bar«. taken up
their transportation and wired on ahead, while
others be.en lying low.
Dr. Forreet Thomas, the pUcb#r secured by the
Seals from tbe St. Paul club of the American
association, will not mart for this city until Sat
urday. He ia resident physician in a St. Paul
hospital and can not leare his duties In time to
trarel with the Sox. Thomas wires that he is
ia good condition. Be will be only a day late
in reporting, •» he figures to hare plenty of
time to work out.
Two of th* bnab inflelders of, the Seal squad,
Henry from Chieo and Callan from Full ex ton,
will report Tuesday morning with tb« ftqnad that
froes to Boyea Springs. The youngsters wrote tbt
Real chief yesterday that everything looked good
to them and that they would take a chance.
Both are second basemen and are reported to be
good fielders and hitters. It will be up to them
to show the goods.

Cy Parkin, the Oakland pitcher, rame in with
hi* signed contract ye«erd«y. «o Manager (art
Mitze waa highly elated. Parkin arrived from
the rnfdril" west aeverai daya ago. bnt atalled
