: .their cheduledtr-nnrn(lftght at Ver-
. Hon yesterday.
Never In the history of the fight game
V; in -Loa Angeles has eueh confusion
marked the termination of a battle. The
T"TOtfcnii when the fighters were en
gaffed In a fierce rally against the ropee
nd were fighting- head to head. Sud
denly Rivers sank to the floor, his
'- hands over his groin. Wolgast, almost
at tht same instant, pitched forward to
' . the canvas, his hands clasped about his
Stomach. While both boys lay on the
J floor Referee Welsh counted. Ringside
. spectators aver that at the count of
five the gong sounded endln the round.
' '. Welsh continued to count. Rivers' han
, dlers maintain their boy dragged him-
J Belf to his feet at the count of eight
and some persons even declare that
' Wolgaat still was on the floor when

i-. The scene that followed the decision
' VII of the wildest disorder. Not one
J! spectator In a hundred knew Welsh's
."decision. Others, nearer the ringside,

crop of country constables of Vernon
vrera making puerile efforts to clear
ths ring which was filled with raving
fight bugs. Rivers, tears streaming

down his bloodstained face, begged for
the bout -to go on. Wolgast, after be-
ng assisted to his corner, had fallen
back In his chair, half conscious. Welsh
slipped from the arena during the com
motion, and Wolgast, soon as he could
be moved, was taken to hla training
quarters at Doyle's camp nearby. Rivers
was given a relief treatment in his
dressing room at the arena and then
hurried to Los Angeles, where doctors
who examined him declared that he had
been bhdly hurt.
The Wolgast contingent indignantly
denied that Ad fouled his opponent. Tom
Jones, the champion's manager, asserts
that the wallop which" put Rivers to
the canvas was a hard right swing fol
lowing a left to the pit of the stomach.
Wolgast himself determinedly stated
that he knew the moment the blow land
ed that Rivers was out. His explana
tion of .the general scramble on the
mat is that Rivers. Instinctively draw
ing up his knee when the blow landed
In his stomach, prodded the champion,

Counted Ont After Bell.
Timekeeper Harder, whose statement
was anxiously awaited by the Rivers
camp, asserted that Rivers was counted
out after the bell had ended the round.
Charles Eyton. official referee of Mc
Carey's fight club, who was at the ring
side, gave his opinion that Wolgast
was winning handily at the time the
mlxup occurred. He further declared
that if Harder's contention that the
gong rang before Rivers was counted
out is correct, both boys, under the
Queensbury ruleR, should have been
sent to their corners and the fight re
sumed. He declared that Welsh prob
ably was a victim of unusual circum
stances. Rivers Is resting ioday at hla home,
He is suffering acutely from the al

After the fight. Rivers said: "I didn't
foul "Ad, but he did foul roe. I went
down' from a hard right, low In the
groin. I had Just traded punches, swing
ing flush to his Jaw.- We fell to the
floor together."
Rivers declared positively that he was
down but 8 seconds, and that he had
turned to assist Wolgast to his feet
when Welsh waved him to his corner.
Torn Jones threw his hands in the
air and cried: "There waa nothing to
it. It was a clean knockout. The punch
that did it was a straight right to the
stomach. It landed fair."
Joe Levy, Rivers' manager, believes
his boy was robbed of a Just victory.
He refused to criticise Welsh other than
to say: "Joe went down "from a bad
groin blow. He should have won. Wol

Blvers la rtrst Six.
In the first six rounds of the fight
Rivers was clearly the winner, while
Wolgast got the last seven rounds by
forcing", but It Is doubtful If he had
the slightest shade on the whole. Riv
ers certainly was not seriously hurt.
but Wolgast received heavy punishment
and only his apparent ruggedness gave
him a shade, If shade he had. When
the two went down the crowd swarmed
Into the ring and It was minutes befpre
It was possible to obtain Welsh's ver
dict.
When the boys went to the floor it
looked as though It was simply a pull
down. Rivers arose and struggled
through the crowd to his corner. Wol
gast did the same, having to make his
way clear across the ring. Apparently
he was uninjured. When he reached his
corner he dropped on the stool, and
leaning back he nearly fell out of the
ring through the ropes.
Welsh, as Wolgast went across - the
ring, held up his hand, but the crowd
was so dense that no decision could be
heard and four fifths of the 12,000
spectators had no Idea of what the re
sult really had been declared. For some
minutes the crowd kept their seats and
a report was current that the . men
would reenter and fight It out. 'l
Some of the rounds follow:
Bound 3.
Rivers stabbed with left and fought
Wolgast clear across the ring In clinch.
Rivers uppercuts lo stomach; Wolgast
