Wit hoot a doubt Wolgast is going into this fight with less preparedness than usual and will not be in his usual good eoadition. His workouts hare been aatisfaetorr, but Wolgaat admits that ha ia affected by the change ia climate and ia not really as good aa be should bo. On tho contrary, Mentsie has no excuses, and ho says be will . havs none if ho faila to achieve bit ambition proprietorship of tho light e weight title. In view of their two close fighta at ten rounds, which resulted ia a deeisina foe eech he e aermer mar- gin, and when both were believed to be fit and ready, thia aerap kaa a mor .iatereoting sspect tnan any -of tho ethere in which they have engaged.

Unless Wolgaat ia equally aa good the cham- Eion io np agaiaat a harder gam thaa e realizee.s' Wolgast opened aa a 19 to 1 favor-it favor-it yesterday, and then waa little or no netting noted among tho leading ' atakeholders. Wolgsst men do sot wsnt to cos cede theee odds sad Memaie Mem-aie supporters sre waiting for J t 1 or better. Yet, among the sportsmen encountered on the local rislto it is found that th shorteader ia thia battle bat-tle is mor popular than ssy in local scrap tn a long time. Memaie money ia plentiful and Wolgaat dorine ia be-iag be-iag held bark. Thia makes tho probable prob-able ringside eddk vary difficult to figure. - At this time, and. considering the eon'fyttoa of the two battlers, with their psst performances as a further index to the done, it looks more like aa vea moaey proposition thaa any w hav seen in n long time. There nro raaay factors to b considered in tusking tusk-ing odds on this scrap. If in their Srevioos scrape Wolgaat had shown any eeided superiority there might be some reason for making him s favorit. As it is, th fact that he ia th title holder hold-er seems to guide the opening prices asd influence too opening betting. His beet fight was with Nelson, whom he - defeated for the title. Hiae he whipped Neleoa, Antoao L Grave, a preliminary fighter of Ban Frsnciseo, without any other reputation in tha ring, gained a decision over Nelson. Owen Morna later on practically scored a knockout n tho former champion a mere shell f th great gladiator of other dare. "9 Since Wolgast whipped Nelson bo f kaa bad several bouts, principally of tho no decision character. Ha has shown nothing ia these bouts. His broken arm twice haa excused a bad showing aad a borsted blood vessel is his excuse for the seeoad defeat by "Kaockout" Brnwa.- When he can aot whip fightera of tho Tommy Mr Fariaad r Jack Bedmoad typo it hardly seems reasonable that he should figure a to 1 fsvorit over Memsie. Evea money, -with yoer own choic throws ia, looks like reasonable odda now, and probably will look bettor at ringside. |
