Last night a good series of bouts was held. Every club in the metropolitan district has been asked to send representatives to the series of bouts which will bo hold before tho club. Wolgast Sidc-Stepping. Much Is being said and written about Ad Wolgast, the lightweight champion, because of his peculiar behavior. Ho has been showing evidences of side step- ! ping. Nelson never was a sldo stepper. Neither was .Too Gans. On May 12. 1902. Gans knocked out Frank Erne at Fort Erie, winning the title. Only six weeks afterward he gave battle to George Mc-Fadden, Mc-Fadden, who had formerly knocked Joe out In twenty-three rounds. Gans wanted to wlpo that defeat from his memory. He knocked McFadden out in throo rounCs. After that Joe wont right along fighting, fight-ing, without ever tho slightest sign of timidity, although, like Wolgast, ho had a world's championship to lose tho first time ho was beaten. Ho fought every man who would meet him. And what a list of fighters he wnded through! There wero Rufo Turner, Kid McPartlond, Dave Hollv, Charlie Sieger. Tommy Tracey, Wlllio Fitzgerald. Jack Blackburn, Sam Langford, Joe Walcott. Jimmy Britt, Mike "Twin" Sullivan, Willie Lewis and a score of others of only slightly less repute. re-pute. S'omo he knocked out. A few lasted through no-decision bouts. Sam Langford alone, a much bigger man, won a decision over him. He was given a draw with Walcott, and they were fighting for the welterweight title. These men will always have a groat place In tho hlBtory of tho ring. But the new champion, unless he puts aside his timid 6treak, will be forgotten long before ho is beaten. |
