"KNOCKOUT" BROWN ILL WITHTHE GRIP New York, Feb. 28. "Knockout" Brown, who is one of the half-dozen leading aspirants for the lightweight championship, is ill with the grip. His conditions is not regarded as serous, however. He has been battling with a
severe cold ever since his bout last week with "One Round" Hogan, the Californian. It appears that he was not feeling quite fit just before his fight with Hogan, and a few hours after that affair a physician declared that he had the grip. Brown at once began a course of Turkish baths and went to bed. He expects to be out again tomorrow and is confident he will' be in shape to fight Wolgast Friday. Brown's comparison of Wolgast and Hogan as adversaries is illuminating. He met them both within a fortnight. "Hogan."' he says, "Is a better man than Wolgast. He knows more about boxing and is a harder hitter. How do I fee! about my go with Wolgast? Why, there's only one answer ril beat him sure." . ' '
