Gained Decision Over Ad, Will

BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAX FRANCISCO. Sept. 6. (Special.)
The downfall of Ad Wolgast, his final
retirement from the frame as a factor
in the lightweight division, has been
the chief topic of conversation this
week in sporting circles around San
Francisco. The defeat of the ex-cham
rion, than whom there have been few
more popular men in the ring, at the
hands of Joe Azevedo. a Sacramento
boy. who is nothing more than a
novice, has. In the minds of the experts,
acted as a final retirement.
Wolgast, naturally, will not have it
that way. but who ever saw a fighter
who could be convinced that his day
was past and that It was finally time
for him to retire? Wolgast. of course,
is fairly well fixed, so far as this
world's poods are concerned, and could
go to his Southern Oregon ranch if he
were of a mind, but doesn't seem to
feel that way about it.
Ad Thinks He Can Fight.
"w. shucks." he said to a friend in
response to a suggestion that he ought
to retire. "I held Azevedo too cheaply
and I didn't train for the match. I can
beat all those suckers and all I want is
a chance at Ritchie. I know I can whip
him and set the title back."
Still chasing the pot of gold at the
end of the rainbow, you see.
At first, following the match. It was
ne fc
... i . I .. . -ad nfonai-Ari
; retire. lie thought over the situation
for 24 hours, and concluded that the
boxing game was still an easy way of
makins a living.
From rumors, it looks as If there
had been another split between Wol
gast and Jones, and one that is final.
It aDoears that Jones was thorough
ly disgusted with the fashion in which
Wolsast did or rather failed to' do his
training, and. told him on Sunday last
that he ought to stay out of the ring.
Wolgast laughed at him. After the
fight Jones announced that he thought
he had better return to his original
job of selling -whisky, which was the
berth he held down before he managed
Billy Papke.
It exult f Flsht S a rpr !.
The fight was a surprise to most of
those who saw the battle. - Wolgast
was as pood as 3 to 1 to win over the
novice, while even money was orfered
that he would stop the Sacramento lad.
At the outset. Ad looked fat and in
no condition. He punished Azevedo
considerably about the body for two
rounds, but the youngster stood it
nicely and about the third round, re
gained his confidence and showed good
form. For a kid. he has good style
and he caught Wolgast with straight
lefts and many a right cross. He looks
to be a light punisher, so far as hitting
strength is concerned, but that is some
thins that ousht to come to him, since
he is only 18 years of age and has every
chance In the world to develop.
Wolgast was so slow that he could
hardly get out of his own way, was as
wild as a March hare, with no judgment
of distance, and had no strength to
boot.
The decision given by Griffin was
the only one that could have been ren
dered in all fairness and not a kick
was heard.
Grlffla WolgSKt's .emrMs.
Griffin, by the way. seems to have
been the nemesis of Wolgast. It was
this red-headed referee who awarded
Willie Ritchie the championship on a
foul. last Thanksgiving. Then he fol
. lowed it up by giving Harlem Tommy
Murohv one draw and one win against
the Dutchman, and in each oaso both
Wolcast and Jones thought they were
entitled to the edge.
For all of that, it happened to be
Wolgast who insisted upon Griffin as
the referee for what the critics are
united in asserting will he the last
bio- event that Wolgast has. He re
eclved $2001) as a guarantee and it is
agreed that he made a poor match.
Ilea ten by Azevedo, he has little or
nothing to which to look forward. Had
he waited, the chances are that he
would have had a bout with Ritchie
with more money in sight, after which
he could have fallen back on the
smaller fry and picked up the small
change.
The chances are that in the condition
that Wolgast was on Labor day, a man
with a harder punch would nave
knocked him out. Azevedo came close
to clipping him one on the jaw in the
sixth round and for a time he had Wol
gast dazed.
AsevrTlo May Develop,
The new comer has been boxing in
the short round game for two years.
He is IS years of age and takes good
care of himself. What he has lacked
chiefly In the past has been confi
dence and aggressiveness and tnat
ought to come to him. Don't be sur
prised if Azevedo is a contender in
the lightweight division as soon as he
has had the chonce to develop, say in
another year or IS months.
He secured some prominence this
last Fourth when he acted as one of
the sparring partners for Willie Ritchie
antl demonstrated at the time that he
was the best man with the title holder.
The selection of Jim Griffin to ref
eree the Ritchie-Welsh bout fits in
nicely with his plans for an Eastern
trip. Jim has never been outside the
state or East of the Rocky Mountains
at all events, and he has been plan
ning to Invade New York. By secur
ing the Job, he can go first of all by
way of Vancouver and the $300 that
be will doubtless receive for acting as
referee ought to go some distance
toward covering- a portion of his ex
penses. Jim ought - to be a riot when he
strikes Broadway. He Is a San Fran
ciscan pure and simple and has a lot
of breezy ways about him that will be
the delight of the sporting editors.
McAllister Bout la Nrit.
Jim Coffroth returned the first of
the week from a trip Into Colorado and
is now devoting his energies toward
securing publicity for the McAllister
Petroskey 20-round battle that will
take place next Tuesday afternoon. So
far San Francisco hasn't heard much
talk about the affair but Coffroth Is
shrewd in arousing interest and the
chances axe that he will have some
thing like $15,000 represented when
the men are prepared for action.
There are a lot of people who seem
to figure that McAllister will benefit
as the result of his first 20-round mill;
that he will be more confident and
naturally more aggressive. If he could
bold Petroskey more than even and
outpoint him (in spite of what the
referee declared was his decision lie
looks to have better than an even
break to win honors. At all events,
his fellow clubmen from the Winged
O will be on hand to boost for him.
MEEHAX SOOX A HEAVYWEIGHT
Three Years Ago San Francisco Boy
Fought in 105-Pound Class.
SAX FRAXCISCO, Sept. 6. (Special.)
Three years ago Willie Mcehan be
gan his ring career in the 105-pound
class. Then he began to grow like a
weed and presently found Himself a
115-pounder. Soon he could not make
the featherweight limit of 122. pound
and became a lightweight. But It was
not long before he left the 133-poun
lads to their fata and became a welter,
Recently he was a middleweight, now
he is a light-heavy.
"Please, Mr. Parente," said Meehan
to the San Francisco promoter yester
day, "keep. Charlie Miller here for an
other month and I'll be big enough to
give him a fight."
Charley Miller Is a heavyweight.
Meehan'8 friends think he will have
no difficulty in qualifying "for Miller.

ALBANY WILli HAVE TEAM
College Prepares to Enter Football
Again With Zest.
ALBANY, Or., Sept. 6. (Special.)
After having had no football team for
the past two years Albany College will
be represented on the intercollegiate
gridiron again this Fall. Members of
the facurty have announced that the
college will take up the game again
and a team will be developed as soon
as the school year opens.
With a team composed entirely of
new men the college will devoto Its
activities this year to minor games,
but it is hoped with this start that the
game will be developed each year at
the college until it will have a team
capable of contesting on a par with
the other institutions of the state and
reach the plane it enjoyed in Albany
College's halycon athletic days of
19U2 and 1903. when it defeated the
Oregon Agricultural College and twice
tied the University of Oregon.
As the Albany High School, always
a strong contender for interscholastic
football honors in the Willamette Val
ley, will put forth a good team, this
Fall there will be considerable interest
in football in this city during the sea
son soon to open. But while taking
pride in its local teams Albany will
look forward with greatest interest to
the annual struggle between the Uni
versity of Oregon and Oregon Agricul
tural College, which will take place In
this city again this year.
Through the inspiration of a head-
writer on The Oregonian, Albany has
been dubbed "the football capital of
Oregon," because It is the scene of this
greatest game of the year in this state,
and because of Its central location and
splendid transportation facilities as
well as good football field. Albany will
probably retain the title and the big
annual game which . furnished It for
several years.

blamed Stovall for not getting the team
higher than seventh place.
President Hedges announced that he
had given Stovall a vacation for the
rest of the season. Whether he would
guard the' first sack next season would
depend on his attitude toward the new

MADDEN HAS SPEED
Fighting Policeman Working
Hard for Hagen Match.
GOOD MILL IS PROMISED
Pclkey Says Portland Man Match for
Any Boxer in North Jack King
Thinks Pendleton Bout AVili
Be Worth Seeing.
Fight fans who attend the Pendleton
Roundup boxing carnival will see some
clever work on the part of Larry
Madden, says Jack King, manager of
the fighter. Here the question is
whether Ed Hagen, who will meet Mad
den, is as fast as his opponent, and in
the north the fans are asking the
same thing about Madden.
From a general comparison, it looks
like a very even exhibition. Madden
stands 6 feet 1 inch, weighs 188 pounds
and has a reach of 77 inches. Hagen
meets this measure exactly, with the
exception of the weight. He will be
the heavier by almost nine pounds.
Those who have seen Madden in his
daily workout are basing their predic
tions on his speed. He does not re
semble the big overgrown fellow that
he was six months ago. Through the
long siege of training he has worked
unfalteringly. He has boxed with men
much lighter than himself, and by this
plan has gained much speed.
The big policeman has had no real
opponents, but the four-round work
oit which Madden had with Pelkey on
Friday afternon demonstrated to the
satisfaction of King and his camp
followers that the work with lighter
men has not brought speed at the ex
pense of the punch.
Arthur Pelkey, who worked out with
Madden Friday afternoon, spoke of the
Portland boy in tu highest terms.
"Madden is one of the fastest heavy
weights I have ever seen,"' he said.
"His speed would be a valuable asset
to any fighter, and, coupled with that
terrific infighting, he undoubtedly will
be a good match for any man in the
Northwest."
Seats are on sale in Portland at
Schiller's, corner of Sixth and Wash
ington. For want of a better opponent. Mad
den has In his boxing camp a real
"dub" by the name of Hagen Root.
This fellow is really double-faced, and
has every virtue or lack of virtue
which makes Madden take it out of his
hide.
Hagen Root Is a dummy and hangs
inoffensively from the ceiling at the
Police Club all day until Madden ap
pears for his daily rounds.

Seattle Expects Good Races.
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 6. (Special.)
With all the best harness horses of
the Pacific Northwest entered, the
races at the Meadows (King; County
Fair) during the coming week should
furnish excellent sport. Race Director
Albert M. Robison has worked out an
attractive programme, which will dis
tribute $8000 to the harness horsemen
and $2000 more to the other speed com-
netltors.
The first race will be called at 2:30
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and on each
day thereafter, including Saturday
which is the last day of the harness
racing. All races will be run under the
system three heats, every heat a race,
except eolt races, which are two heats,
each heat a race. The general rules
and regulations of the North Pacific
Fair Association prevail.
In recent years harness racing has
had a rather unfortunate experience in
Seattle, but if appearances may be
taken to mean anything the turning
point was reached last Fall. Laboring
under a handicap. Race Director Robi
son finally got things to going in gooil
shape, and before the end of the meet
ing big crowds were going out to th
Meadows. The class was good last
year, snd the contests exciting. This
year the class is even better, minor
defects in arrangements have been
remedied, and viewed from all points
the ek of racing should be a decided
success.
SEASON IS UNCHANGED
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ONLY
MAKES RECOMMENDATION.
Zones Created in Recent Pamphlet
Are Not Established but Are
Merely Proposed.
Contrary to the belief of several
prominent sportsmen, including J. H
Wescott, of Gaston, there is no Federal
open or closed season for ducks In Ore
gon, and as yet the rights of the Ore
gon hunters have not been encroached
on, according to William L. Finley,
State Game Warden.
"A careful perusal of the pamph
lets issued by the Government will
show the reader that the season, de
scribed as September 15 to December
15, is merely proposed," said Mr. Fin
ley.
The misunderstanding all around this
law and its proposed enactment has
caused considerable jumping to con
elusions, according to Mr. Finley.
"When the State Legislature last
met," he said, "it established September
la to December 31. in Multnomah, Clat
sop, Tillamook and Coos counties. In
the other' Valley counties and in the
western part of the state November 1
to February 15 was named as the time
for bagging ducks.
"Last March Congress passed the law
prescribing closed seasons by zones and
the National" authorities went to work
at once.
"The biological survey appointed
committees in various districts to make
recommendations for the men who were
to do the prescribing.
"The commission then designated sea
sons for the zones and gave Oregon
September 16 'to December IB. How
ever, that was merely a recommenda
tion, made without any suggestion from
the committees from the districts. The
object was merely to cause comment
and to give the men from the districts
something on which to argue.
"It seems that this is what the dis
satisfied men of the state have taken
as the established season.
"California and Washington on each
side of us have October 1 to January
15 as the season, which is after all the
logical time for ducks in this state, as
breeding begins immediately after that
and there are no ducks to speak of
before October 1.
"When II. W. Henshaw, chief of the
biological survey, came through Port
land collecting the reports of these
committees, I took up with him the
discrepancy of the recommendation and
he assured me that the defect would be
remedied.
"I can say that without any doubt
the season will be Octo"ber 1 to Janu
ary 15. This will be the announcement
which can be expected from Washing
ton almost any day now, as the survey
was to have acted on the matter the
first part of September.
"In the meantime the state law Is
still in effect and those who want some
early game can go at it until there is
a Federal law."
RITCHIE IS AYILLIXG TO FIGHT
McFarlimd, Cross and Murphy to
Have Chance After Welsh Bout
SEATTLE. Sept. 6. In a letter to a
Seattle newspaper, Willio Ritchie,
world's lightweight champion pugilist
tells of his plans after his tight with
Freddie Welsh at Vancouver Septem
ber 20.
"I want to meet every worthy op
ponent who, will draw sufficiently to
warrant a promoter putting us in the
ring," says Ritchie in his letter. "Risht
now I am matched with Welsh. After
that battle I am planning to take on
Packey McFarland, . Leach Cross and
Tommy Murphy, my three greatest
contenders. I am sidestepping nobody.
I am now negotiating for a battle with
I'ackey McFarland right after the Welsh
affair. I will meet McFarland at 135
pounds at ringside, a weight he says
he can make. Next comes Leach Cross.
I will be in New York right after the
McFarland battle, provided It goes
through, and if not, right after the
Welsh bout. Cross will then be con
sidered, and the best offer to meet him
accepted. Next comes Harlem Tommy
Murphy. The same th.ng that applies
to Cross applies to him. I am as
anxlpus to meet him as I am to meet
the others.
'I want the general public to under
stand that I am a fighter, not a seeker
after theatrical -dates. The biggest
error ever made in handling a fighter
was in the handling which kept me for
26 weeks on a theatrical circuit and
caused a fusillade of adverse criticism.
Before I finish with my 1-eading op
ponents I am going to clean out the
whole lightweight division or lose my
title in the attempt."

While Pelkey refused to talk for pub
lication, it is understood that all is not
well between Pelkey and the ex-champion,
Burns, who has been managinff
him since their six-round draw at Cal
gary on March 26.
Pelkey hinted that he might throw
over Burns, but refused absolutely to
give out any direct statement for pub
lication at this time. Jack King says
Pelkey approached him to see if ho
would handle him in conjunction with
Larry Madden.
Pelkey and Madden have become fast
friends, and Pelkey says Madden has im
proved wonderfully even in the short
time since he sparred with him nightly
at the Lyric Theater.
"Maden can hit hard and Is dead
game." said Pelkey. "I don't kno"w any
thing about Hagen, but I think Madden
should lick him."
After leaving Calgary Pelkey will
go direct to his home at Chatham, Ont.,
where he will rusticate for several
weeks before invading New York.

good as ever, I don't want to take any
unnecessary chances after my opera
tion until October," declared Bud.
