LITTLE SYMPATHY FOR THE LOSERS Wolgast and Rivers belong to a class who think they do not have to train, and who try to get the money in the easiest possible way. This Is not fair to themselves or the public who pay to see them box, aud who. are entitled to have the boys in good condition when they enter the ring. Rivers got little sympathy when Mandot beat him because the Mexican Mexi-can was out of shape,, and few are sorry that Wolgast lost his honors if he went into the ring unfit to defend de-fend the title which meant many dollars to him. If he neglected his work in training quarters ho was trying try-ing to bunco the public and deserves just what ho got and a little more, as he was guaranteed $15,000 for his work, and surely any one can afford to train a month for that amount of money.
