NELSON-WOLGAST SCRAP

They Will Get Together In Loe •Angeles Before Big Crowd. Los Angeles, July 13.—One of the biggest crowds that has ever seen a prize fight In this city la expected to be provided by Battling Nelson, lightweight champion of the world, and Ad Wolgast of Milwaukee. The city is filled with Elks, among whom are many fight lovers, and they are expected to make the ringside look like a lodge session In full blast. How much of the ten round battle that is scheduled they will see is uncertain. Nelson declares that the fight will not go the limit, and many are inclined to agree with him. Wolgast is, however, a husky lad, in good shape, and may make the champion extend himself. It is said that Nelson will receive $5,500 for his half hour's work, while Wolgast will be paid $1,500.
