WOLGAST IS POOR SALESMAN

Lightweight Pugilist Lets Farmer Have Fine Bull for $45 When He Could Have Secured More.

In spite of assertions to the contrary, Ad.Wolgast, former lightweight champion, has been the “goat” in several deals involving the exchange Of money. Ad was “stung” for $25 by a farmer just before the ex-cham-pion went to Milwaukee recently. Ad owns a couple of farms in the vicinity of Cadillac, says the Detroit Journal. He had one fine bull he de-

sired to sell for he didn’t want to buy food for the animal during the winter. So a farmer went out to see Ad about the bull. ‘Til give you S4O for him,” said the tiller of the\soil. “bJope, won’t take less than $50,”/Ad replied. The bull was finally sold for $45. Ad had barely made the deal and was still smiling when another farmer came to buy the bulk "It’s sold,” beamed Addie. "How much do you think I got?” asked the fighting Dutchman. “About S7O or $75," said the farmer. Ad stared hard for several minutes and then asked: "What were you going to otter?” “O, about $65," said the visitor.
