REFEREE 8AVES DANE FROM ' KNOCKOUT IN 40TH FOUND Champion Is Defeated by Younger and Stronger Man in One of Most Vicious Ring Battles Ever Pulled Off Nelson, Beaten to a Pulp and Scarcely Able to Stand, Exhibits Gamcness Almost Unparalleled Wolgast, Unhurt, Skips from Ring. Ban Francisco, Feb. . 23. Battling Nelson, undismayed, refuses today to admit he la all In and has mapped out ft plan for recovering the title lost to Wolgast. He is confident that with In six montha he will again be the lightweight champion. At present he Is making preparations to go to a ranch in New Mexico, to recuperate, and then to have three Or four fights. If he finds his old strength has re turned he will go after Wolgast. Nelson spent the night In turklsh baths. He said this morning he did not feel any worse than after, many of his tough battles. His worst hurt was a swollen groin where Wolgast uppercut him at close quarters. Dls cuBsing the chance of another fight, the Dane snid: "I don't think I am too old or have gone back, but am going to give myself a thorough try out before I seek another match with Wolgast He can't punch hard enough to put me away and I am a better stayer. I don't want to take any of the credit from Wolgast, and am not kicking, but I am sure I could have gone through the full 45 rounds." Jack Robinson, Kelson's manager, ftdm'tted today he wanted to throw up the sponge In the thirty-fourth round. He broached the matter to Nelson, but Bat declared If he stop ped the fight he would never speak to blm again. Seeing the terrible beating Nelson was getting, Robinson tried to throw the sponge Into the ring, but was restrained by the other seconds. Wolgast had things his own way after the twenty second when Nelson floored him. Ho regained his senses quickly and thereafter fought a brilliant battle. That the Dane bas gone back cannot be denied. His old dash and recuperative power were not there. Tears of training have brought about muscular degeneration, and sapped his remarkable vitality. Story of Fight. Richmond Arena, Cal;, Feb. 23. His faco battered to a pulp, his eyes closed, his lips puffed, covered with blood and stnggerlng helplessly about the ring. Battling Nelson, conqueror of Joe Gans, was saved from a knock out In the fortieth round of his fight with Ad Wolgast yesterday afternoon when Referee Eddie Smith humanely stopped a most unequal contest. Nelson, game to the very last, stood In the center of the ring and even though he could hardly raise his hands begged to be allowed to con tinue. He was led to his corner brok enhearted. In the opposite corner of the ring, the new lightweight champion of the world. Ad Wolgast of Cadillac, Mich , was lifted to the shoulders of his trainers and amid the cheers of the crowd, proclaimed king of the light weights. Nelson Shows Strong Once, Only once during the fight did Nel son have a chance the 22nd round, when with a stinging right hand cross the Jaw ho staggered his oppon ent. Beforo the round closed he dropped Wolgast In the mld,dle of the ring with ft repetition of the same blow and three seconds were tolled before Wolgast regained his feet. The crowd prepared to leave the arena; the word went from bench to bench through the spectators that an other boy hnd fallen victim to the wonderful durability of the Dane. But In- the next round .Wolgast re cuperated and from then on slowly, steadily, but surely wore Nelson down. For twelve rounds before the fin ish Nelson seemed bewildered and his RALLINGER MAY RFSIC.N . AFTER INVESTIGATION Washington, Feb. 2S. Friends of Balllnger hint to- day that the secretary Intends . to resign his position and re- sume his law practice when the congressional Investigation In- 4 to the Flnchot controversy ends. They declnre the only reason Bollinger hns not resigned al- rendy Is because he feared a wrong construction would be put on his motive far leavlng-the cabinet. 4444 blows were sent in as though be hel'd 1 weights In his hands.' From the 80th round Nelson could hardly see or hear the left side of his face having lost all semblance of its former contour. He staggered and hung on. In the 87th round he was all but out, - but survived the round. In the 28th round, John Robinson, Nelson's manager, wanted to throw the sponge Into the ring, but Abdul, the Turk, one of the seconds, tore It from his hands and threw It Into the bucket. From then on, during each round, Robinson protested, on the verge of tears, that his man was beat en., NcIkoii Unwilling to Quit. When the 40th round came, Referee Smith asked Nelson If he wanted to quit and Nelson, unable to talk, merely shook his head negatively. When 37 seconds of the fortieth round had gone and as darkness was beginning to creep over the arena, Referee Smith raised Wolgast's glove Into the air and a new lightweight champion had come Into flstlana. Wolgast outgeneraled, outboxed and all but outgamed the great Bat tling Nelson. After the battle the new champion scampered out of the ring like a school boy and galloped through the mud. Nelson, on the other hand, was mken out In the arms of his seconds. As he was carried through the crowd, he was cheered again and again for the grit and gameness he displayed. It's like, old ring followers say, seldom has been seen In a prise ring. The fight demonstrated beyond a doubt that It takes a body fighter to beat Nelson. Punishment over the kidneys and heart weakened the Dane and ho gradually succumbed to these onslaughts. Nelson met a younger man who fought him at his own game and by cleverer and faster work beat him down systematically without tnk Ing any chances. , Smith Mnkes Statement. Referee Smith made the following statement to the press: "Wolgast fought Nelson at his own game and beat him fairly and square ly. Nelson complained at time of Wolgast's butting but I paid little heed as It was simply a case of the Fattier getting the worst of a game where both were equally guilty. "Both men fought the same, but one hnd youth, the power to come back vigor, l!fo and all that goes with It, while the IS years of fighting through which Nelson has passed sapped his strength and left him without the old snap, dash and stamina. When I stopped the fight It had lost all sem blance of a boxing contest and I de- (Contlnued on page 8.) BELT FROM ATTEL LITTLE HEBREW PUT UP SLEEP IN 4 2ND ROUND Monte Could Not Ucnetrate Defense of Wisconsin Lad. and Receives Terrible Resting Defeated Cham pion Turns Rack to Conqueror. Jeffries Arena, Los Angeles, Feb. 23. Frankle Conley of Kenosha, Wis., knocked out Monte Attell of San Francisco yesterday in the 42nd round of ft fight that was scheduled for 45 rounds. Conley emerged from the fierce encounter without a scratch, while Attell lay on the floor for two minutes after receiving Conley's fin ishing blow on the Jaw, his left eye entirely closed and badly discolored; his mouth and nose bleeding and his lips swollen and bruised. His sec onds, did not wait for the referee to count him out, but threw up the sponge as the fallen fighter straight ened his limbs and rolled on his back five seconds after he had fallen. Conley danced to his corner, confi dent Attell could not get up and that he had won the bantam weight cham pionship and the McCarey diamond holt that goes with It. Conley's Defense Impenetrable. Attell never seemed to be able to break . through Conley's defense. When they mixed It, he was nlwoys the agressor but nearly always got the worst of the exchange. . Attell perceptibly weakened In the 23rd round when Conley landed a ter rific drive with his right under the heart and he was going down hjll from that point on to the finish. In tho 37th Conley fought him to the ropes and In the mlxup Attell turned his back on Conley and started to run. Conley was omhim like a flnsh land the gong saved Attell from a knockout at this Juncture. Attell started tho 42nd round with his usual rush but slipped and fell on nil fours. Conley .waited for him to rise and then staggered him with a series of lefts and rights. As he came away from a clinch Attell was dazed by Jnbs to his face and turned his back to run. Conley suddenly drove his right to the Jaw and the fight was over. Attell's friends snid after the fight that he was not trained as thorough ly as he might have been but they did not attribute his defeat to this fact altogether, but rather to the fact that Conley puzzled him with his defense land was unable to withstand a lot of fearful punishment.
