Out the Champion. After Ititrhie landed vlrioiiH punch on jaw Wolgast fell Into a clinch to save himself—They wrestled to the floor, llitchie was up first ami helped the i-hunipion to his feet. BY IUNGSII>KR. That Ad Wolgaat is not the great fighting machine that he wag before he underwent that operation for appendicitis is the general be lief of those who saw him barely get by with a draw in his four-round bout recently with Willie Ritchie. The operation has sapped his stamina, and, instead of being ab solutely impervious to the heaviest of punches, Ritchie staggered him a number of times and had him groggy. Ritchie is not a heavy hitter. It was a new sensation, that of soeing the little champion almost crumple up from a crack -on the chin, rendered practically helpless, seeking refuge with his crouch, and backing up against the ropes. Not only once, but a number of times, Wolgast showed plainly that he has lost some of his ability to take punishment. A sharp right on the point nearly sent him down, his knees sagging and barely holding him up. The surgeon's knife left no permanent Injury so far as the stom ach is concerned as Wolgast frequently stopped body punches without wincing. But his wonderful stamina has been hurt, and the next time he meets a good boy with a punch the title may change hands. Another fault with the champion that was noticeable was hiß al most total lack of judgment of distance. He missed time after time, not by inches, but by feet. He attributes this to his absence from the ring for over six months. It may be that he will get back his eye and stamina, but good judges fear that he will never be able to assimi late punishment as of old. One thing that, stood out In bold relief was Wolgast's speed. He hit with lightning-like rapidity and was wonderfully fast on his feet. He carried himself lightly and with perfect ease, showing that in this department he has lost nothing by the long layoff. The old fighting spirit and speed remain, but the armor is weak. Your Lawn Needs Water!
