WIFE FEELS DEFEAT, TOO "Michigan Wildcat" Gets Offer to Meet Welch for 20 Rounds on $10,000 Guarantee Other Inducements Are Many. BY JAMES H. CASSELL. Forty thousand dollars richer than when he' appeared in Portland on the vaudevjjle stage last March, Ad Wol gast, the Cadillac, Mich., youth who lost the lightweight boxing title to Willie Ritchie on Thanksgiving day, arrived In Portland with his wife last night, alternately vowing to quit the ring and planning for the recovery of his lost crown. But Ad's chances of quitting the ring are slight, despite the constant impor tuning of his wife. Wolgast says that he has. -two J7500 offers to box Joe Mandot and Leach Cross, the former In New Orleans and the latter In New Tork, with a $10,000 guarantee to fight Freddie Welsh 20 rounds in England wahin -two months. The offer of the lucrative mill with Welsh came in the mail at Albany yes terday and was immediately forwarded to Tom Jones, Ad's manager, who is in Chicago dickering with Jess Willard. the gigantic heavyweight, Ritchie's Scalp Wanted. .."I will never put a glove on again for a 20-round fight unless I am guar anteed J10.000," declared the ex-champion last night. "I don't have to fight any more and with these J7600 offers for 10-round bouts, I would be a fool to step into a ring over a . 20-round route for less than $10,00." Theit. veering sharply under the gaze of his wife, an anti-boxing advocate: "I may never fight again. I have had my crack at the game and have plenty of money, so why not let the other fel lows have a chance to fix-themselves up for life?" "There is only one man I would like Ad to meet again and he is Ritchie," interrupted Mrs. Wolgast at this point. - "I think it was too bad for Ad to lose that championship on a foul, after he had worked so hard to get It. I liked him when I first met him, but after that fight I changed my mind," she continued with feminine logic Champion tn DiHfavor. Neither Wolgast nor his wife believe that the Mlchlgander can entice Ritchie into a return match. When they talk shop, which they are trying to evade on their trip north, Ritchie, and the chances of getting another chance at the Caltfornlan are uppermost in their expressions. Ad doesn't think much of the new champion. He concedes that he may be biased by his defeat at the hands of the San Franciscan, but names six men whom he would back for $5000 In a 20-round mill against his last opponent. "Joe Mandot, Joe Rivers, Freddy Welsh. Jack Britton. Leach Cross and Teddy Maloney of Philadelphia can best Ritchie today," argues the eonquerer of Battling Nelson. "Any time anyone of those boys goes against Ritchie 1 will bet $5000 on him." "How about your fight with him?" queried Jack King, who was visiting with the Wolgasts In their rooms in the Imperial Hotel. Managerial Honors Sought. "I don't believe now and never will that I fouled him," came back quick ly from 'Ad. "1 had him going until that 16th round, but he gave me a good one then, I'll confess. 1 have been hit just as hard, however, and would have been Just as good as ever in a few seconds.. My bad nose which compels me to breathe through my mouth, was responsible for that dazing blow. My mouth was wide open and it didn't take much of a punch to hurt." The "Michigan Wildcat," as he was styled when hewing his way through onDosition to the lightweight crown, aspires to become a manager of fight ers when he is through with the ring. He expects to share with Tom Jones In the management of Jess Willard. the Kansas heavyweight.' Although Ad has never seen Willard in action he believes that the bis chap Is due to become the champion of the heavies. The lightweight has the ut most respect for McCarty, but Willard is bigger and has a better punch. Then, too, the thoughts of that $1200 bet he lost on Jim Flynn has much to do with the search for the man to whip the Nebraska boy. Bv the way. Wolgast says he lost JIIOO on the Flynn-McCarty fight and didn't bet a cent on Falzer, which plays havoc with sundry yarns of huge loss es emanating from Los Angeles. Operation Effect I'nderrnted. While the ostensible purpose of the trip of the young couple north is to purchase Oregon stock land. It will take a mighty good proposition to force Ad to reduce his bank balance. He will interview several real estate men tmlnv. snend a day visiting with Jack King, and then expects to leave for his home at Cadillac lor a snort lime. An offer to box a four-round exhibit Ion at Tacoma was received last night. However, as the affair is not to be until the last of the month, there is not much chance of the Tacomans to see Wolgast in action. "f am feeling far better than when I met Ritchie and really feel more like fighting than at any time since I was operated on," says Ad. "1 was In poor shape when I met Rivers, but there was too much money involved to think of backing out. I overrated myself when I met Ritchie, or rather, under rated the effects of the appendicitis operation. DICK SEASOX IS GOOD ONE Hunters Out Sunday Get Good Bags at Various Places. "The 1912 duck season, which will close Wednesday, has been the best duck hunting season Oregon hunters enjoyed in many years, said J. cul lison. president of the Portland Gun Club, upon his return from a duck hunting trip yesterday. "Nearly every hunter on the train that I was on. coming to Portland, carried from two to 35 ducks, the latter being the limit allowed. The day was Ideal, rain, snow and wind causing the ducks to fly low. affording the. shooters a good oppor tunity." . A. L. Mills, Harry Corbett, Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie and George Lelthoff ac companied Mr. Culllson on his expe dition to Deer Island and they shot 165 birds. Another party composed of Harry Holland, Joe Stutt, C. B. Williams, Cliff Fones and Fred Kunke succeeded In getting 100 birds on Sauvlea Island. The crowd that turned out last Sun 'day was the largest of the 191 season. i sir x-z ff - ' .vV I 1 1 1 Jh : r & - sSc? WoTf&S? m& Wife Los Angeles Sees Jlorthwest Lightweight Work Out. KNOCK-OUT PUNCH LIKED Showing In Early Training Indicates Vancouver Boy Will Be Favorite Over Sammy Trott Young Brother Is Admired. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 13. (Spe cial.) Bud Anderson has been approved by the Los Angeles fans, who saw him work out today at Doyles. The sensa tional Northwest lightweight, with the wonderful punch and unbeaten record, arrived In town yesterday and started training In the afternoon to prepare himself for his scrap January 25 with Sammy Trott. He was at his training again today. He looks about as much like a fighter as does Joe Mandot, who never would be picked out a crowd as anything more than-a modest, inof fensive ribbon clerk. Anderson is inclined to be clever, but his long suit is punching. In his work today he gave a sample of the wallop that has won so many battles for him. His record shows two out of every three scraps to be won oy the knock out route, and on what he has done and his showing yesterday and today that punch seems to be genuine. The im pression he made probably will make him a favorite over Sammy Trott, de spite the fact the Columbus boy is built like a brick. Brother Freddie Liked. Robers was the first sparring part ner to take the floor today. Two rounds was all heT:ould stand. Kid Carter, the middleweight, was handled for a couple of fast rounds, and Jerry Lukens was glad to quit after one minute of work on account of a cracked rib. bothering him. The real work came ,when Bud's brother. Freddie, put on the mitts. This youngster is a clever man, and is the sterling piece as a sparring partner for his big brother. Freddy only weighs 129, but he is fast and is no slouch as a fighter. Bud said today that his kid brother had a great future as a fighter, but his girl was opposed to the game, and the best he could do was to fill the position of principal sparring partner for his older brother. Aspirant la Confident. The brothers mixed it for four rounds, wearing the regulation 12 ounce gloves. They really fought. Many of the punches handed out by the little fellow would do Justice to some of the mushroom heavyweights seen recently. Bud is confident that he will beat Trott. and says he has no fear of the "Jinx" who so lately hovered over Doyle's establishment. While he is in good condition at present. his manager says he will work every morning and during afternoons up to the day before the fight. M.

Jan. 13. (Special.) Jess vllard. the- heavyweight boxer who is besieged by numerous managers, has turned a deaf ear to the pleadings of Tom Jones, manager of Ad Wolgast, who wants to pilot the Kansas cow puncher. Willard told Jones he never would have a chance to "cut in" on his earnings in the ring, and said he would not throw over Charley Cutler, the man who gave him the- chance to make a name'as a boxer. "If you have any proposition to maxe, see Cutler" said Willard. ' Jones has not yet looked up Cutler.

Girot, Callahan ind Steiger are the men the leader of the Colts depends upon to terrorize the left handed batters of the league. "Steiger was not himself last sea son, and will surely be one of the best men in the league in 1913," explains Nick. "Then this boy Callahan is a comer.

Oregon's patched- up basketball team badly outclassed the Idaho five tonight, the score being 31 to 6. Idaho did not register a single field goal in the first half, scoring a couple of joints on fouls. . In the sec ond half tHe Northerners bagged two field goals, but could not break up Oregon's scoring machine. Walker, the Oregon forward, lea in the basket-throwing, two of his suc cessful shots being phenomenal. The midgets. Brooks and Boylen, acquitted themselves well in their first confer-, ence game. Brooks showed wonderful speed on the floor, but hard luck kept the total down. Bradshaw's great guarding was responsible for Idaho's failure to score frequently. Kinneson at center and forward played the best game for tha visitors. Captain Sims, the Oregon guard, was on the sidelines with a sprained ankle. Al though the game was free from inten tional roughness, a large number of fouls were committed, nine being called oh Oregon and six on Idaho. Jamleson, the former Oregon captain, refereed the contest, but his decisions were not questioned. The two teams meet again tomorrow night, with prac tically the same lineup.

Northern Pacific Is Open but Great Northern Tied Up Still. SNOW PILED 40 FEET HIGH At Altitudes Where Railroads Cross Cascades Crews Could Make Headway if Fall Would HaK. Thaw Is Feared. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 13. Tho North ern Pacific Railroad had cleared away, at dark tonight, the wreckage at the east portal of the Stampede tunnel, where the North Coast Limited train ran into a rotary plow early this morn ing. Trains are now running, but not .on schedule time. The best news from the summit is that snow Is not falling at either end of the long tunnel. The Great Northern, which has done little business for a week on the moun tain division, is again tied up fgr an indefinite period. The Milwaukee to day had ten miles of track more oress covered by snow. The Milwaukee has had great difficulty in keeping tele eraoh communication open, and has established a wireless station atLa conia, near the summit. Snow is piled 40 feet high at the altitudes where the railroads cross the Cascades. The railroad trackmen- say they would soon have the rails clear if the snow would stop for a little while. Whdh the big thaw begins there will be more serious enemies than snow with which to contend. The weather on the Western Wash ington coast continues warm and rainy. According to precedent, there should be a resumption of snow in .the moun tains tonight. Except near the coast, there is a thick cover of snow In West ern Washington. In Whatcom County the snowfall has been the heaviest in 22 years. Logging operations are being suspended In many districts be cause of the hindrance offered by the snow. TRAIN'S DINER PROVISIOXLESS Easton Keeps North Coast Limited Passengers From Starving. ELLENSBURG, Wash., Jan. 13. (Special.) Traffic over the Cascades has been resumed in part after having been blocked -for 12 hours by a wrecjt at the Stampede tunnel. Sunday's west-bound North Coast limited was held at Easton all day to day and proceeded to the Sound after number two was out of the mountains. The Pullman passengers on number two were forced to rely upon the little mountain residentsat Easton for sustenance as the diner was froze up and out of provisions. Milwaukee officials here will venture no prophesy as to wnen tneir roaa over the mountains will be opened. A crew of 36 linemen are at work at the sum mit endeavoring to replace broken telegraph wires. A number of the line men equipped with rations for only one "meal walked into Easton this noon on the tracks. Despite the recent work of the rotaries the Bnow was waist deep and the men took turns every hundred yards breaking the trial. The linemen report that trees all along the line were giving way and that the wires were beintr broken by the falling ones. One crew of linemen is snowed In at Whittler. The engine is being kept alive by shoveling snow into the boiler as fhe locomotive is out oi water. A stub train has been inaugurated for the run from Cle Elum to Llnd and through trains from the East are being detoured from Lind to Pasco, to Vancouver and the Sound, to Seattle and Tacoma. The railway stations at Upham, Martil and Stampede are buried out of sieht. Narrow paths between walls of snow 20 to 30 feet connect the little buildings with the tracks.
