IS CHAMPION
Milwaukee Lad Administers
Beating to Battling Nelson
in Fight Yesterday.
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-

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.

two or three years, while the appear
ance of the foot would Indicate thai
the man had not been dead more than
a few months.
Sheriff T. D. Taylor has been no

wide open town In every sense of the
word and was known far and wide as

day, while holdups, robberies and
shooting scrapes followed each other
