H Final Hit a Clean Knockout A B Decisive Victory Owen at H Champion's Mercy. H 6AX PJIAN-CISCO, July -i The H measured swing of Reforcc Welsh's H arm. tolling off the fatal ten seconds H over tho writhing and unconscious 1 body of Owen Moran of Englnnd, H brought victory to Ad Wolgast In tho H thirteenth round of today's Jnterna- M Uonal battle for the llghtwolght chani- m pionRhlp. It was a clcau knockout, H and tho declslxe victory was cleanly H j earned by tho rugged strength and tcr- H llflc punishing power of the champion H Right upporcuts to tho stomach, fol- m lowed by a left hook lo the jaw, forced B tho gamo little English fighter to take the count for the first time in eleven M years in the ring. Moran camo up HU undistresscd for the unluckj thirteenth B I round, although it was plain that he 1 was firing. Wolgast met him with a H I well-timed rush and forced his way to H j close quarters Moran checked "him H Willi a left jab, but was backed against H i the ropes in his own corner. Suddonly Wolgast whlpied his right arm free H from the clinch, and, swinging from H his hip. Bent his glove crashing three H times to the pit of Moran's stomach H Moran's face whitened and twisted H with agony under the smear of blood H from his cut lips. He groped blindly H to smother the smashing blows, then H his knees gac way under him and H he slipped from Wolgast's grasp to the H brown canvas that covered the ring H The champion whipped over n left H hook to the jaw as Owen fell, but It H was not needed. Moran rolled on his H side and his legs scrambled for a foot- H tng, but hlB mouth was open and his H eyes rolled back, and tho shouts of H .his seconds brought no meaning to his H deadened senses It was several mln- H utcs before he regained consciousness. ft. more planted than ever on tho light- H weight throne, a grin flashed across H his bleeding lips and he plucked with H ' his gloved hands at the American flag H he wore about his waist. In a second H he was smothered in the throng of H admirers who surged Into thp ring, H untied tho blatUe-scarrcd flag and H vnved It over Wolgast's tousled head. H "Some battle for the Fourth of July. H he panted as the photographers fought H through the crowd to got his picture H Moran's seconds entered a claim of V foul, but the blows in question were B plainly seen from the ringside and the H protest was disallowed. H Never for a moment during tho hat- H tie. did the terrific pace slackon. The H Arae'rican carried the fight to his oppo- V- nent from the first tap of the gong, H and Moran never was able to keep him H at long range It was in the clinches H that the champion showed to the best H advantage. Moran was unable to H make a perfect defenso against the 1 blows that Wolgast worked to his ribs V and the "loop the loop" punch, a right H uppercut to tho face that snapped tho H Britisher's head back again and again H nnd kept his mouth bleeding from the H first round. W- At long range Moran clearly out- B pointed the Michigan boy, and bis H clever ducking and footwork extricated H 'him from many a tight corner It was B a battle of a "clever and experienced B boxer against a tearing, ripping fight- H er, and the fighter weathered the H Btorm with never a sign of distress. H It was a rough fight from tho start. Hh As the first round opened, Moran came H willingly to close quarters, but was B met with a volley of short lefts to the H face and a right uppercut that brought H the blood in a stream from his lips. H it was the champion's round by a wide H margin, and Moran came back for tho H second with Instructions to stay away H With wonderful judgment of distance Bm lie slipped away from Wolgast's H vicious swings, flashing In with clean- H j cut lefts and rights as the champion opened up. It was Moran's round and he continued to pursue the same tac- H tics throughout the fight. Whon H forced to close quarters fn the third, H Moran fought back viciously. They H roughed it, head to head, Wolgast H forking hh right to the kidneys and H body nnd Moran ripping bis left hand Bl and' forearm In his chin and holding H the champion even Both were bleed- H Ing when the round elOBd. H Moran seemed to gain confidence as Hj the fight progressed. Shifting in and H out as lithe as a panther, he landed Hl cleanly again and again throughout K the fourth, fifth and sixth rounds, and R making Wolgast look almost like an H amaloiir-,'by tho way he avoided his B His cleverness brought round after Mf round of applause, but he never slopped Wolgast's steady advance, and H Wolgast dainly was the strongor, laughing and nodding to friends among 1 , the spectators between the rounds. H In tho seventh round Wolgast forced B the Englishman to the ropes, where H" they fought too to tio until parted H by 'ho referee, Moran having all the 1 better of the exchange, but Wolgast H ' evened matters before tho round was H over by his wicked uppercuts. Wol- H gast continued to bore in, and al- H though Owen crossed his right again H and again to Ad's bead in tho eighth H and ninth rounds, bo was unablo to H stop him or slow the furious pace, and yeemed to be weakening fast. H His seconds worked denpcrately H over him, and) he came up in the tenth t I and eleventh rounds with a burst of B speed that fairly smothered Wolgast. H Timing1 every blow to perfection, ho H whipped In with rights and lofts, land- H lng straight lofts, right hooks and H swings with a speod and force that H slowed the champion for tho first time.

LOS ANGELES, July 1. Joo Rivers, Riv-ers, n local featherweight Mexican, attained national pugilistic piominonCo by giving Joo Coster of Brooklyn a terrific beating through 12 rounds of their scheduled 20-round fight at Vor-non Vor-non today.
