WOLGAST WILL TRAIN BUT 2

EKS FOR IFARLAi BOOT

Champion of Lightweights Is Giving Little Thought to His Big Engagem ent Next Month.

While Ad Wolgast's many friends are pitying him for making a match with Packey McFarland under conditions which impose a big weight handicap on him, the champion Is about the most carefree young fellow one would be likely to see In a day's Journey. The scrap with the stockyard's Irishman is the farthest thing from Ad's mind. In fact, he is not giving the affair a serious thought at present and does not Intend to do so until the day of the contest Is practically at hand. The champion has a manager to do all the worrying for the camp and if there is any fretting to be done between now and the time he is called upon to step into the Milwaukee ring, Sept. 15, Wolgast will let one Tom Jones do It for him. With a fight of the importance cf the McFarland affair on his hands, one would think "Wolgast would be giving serious thought to his training and would even now be doing light work. Some fighters might do this, but such Is not the way Wolgast does things. The little "wildcat" from Michigan is taking things easily at his Cadillac

home, enjoying a good vacation after his strenuous six months' campaign. He will not do a bit of training until the fight is but two weak awav

Wolgast never goes through a long

training siege, as he keeps himself near to fighting condition all the time. He

"6"r "ik. two weeks will be a sufficiently long time for him to work for McFarland and says that this amount of training will send him Into the ring in the best of shape. The funeral of Emil Coulon will be held from the home, 2622 Emmett ave

nue, at 9 o clock this mornlnar. Ronr

Ices will be held at St !viv...

church at 10 o'clock. Interment will be at Mt Carmet. Chicago's sporting population will attend the services in

large numbers and pay their last re

spects to ail that remains of a man who was a great credit to the game he and his son have helned to mnka nnr.,..

lar. Many floral pieces have been sent

to tn union home from boxers, promoters and friends of the deceased manager. It will be a long time before there Is another Emil Coulon engineering the career of a ring champion.

Xew York, Aug. 2. Those desperate Yankees sort o' turned the tables on the ambitious White Sox yesterday, drubbing them in both games of a double header that wound up the series. They scraped out a ninth Inning victory in a fierce struggle for the first game, beating Ed Walsh, 4 to 3. In the second contest they won Just about as they pleased against Cy Young and Joe Hovlik, the final count being 8 to 2. Big Caldwell battled Walsh ln the first game and won it himself with a corking base hit in the ninth. Russell Ford cantered through the second, heaving his spitter with telling effect in the tight places. There was sone weird ball playing done by the White Sox during the second game, some things that couldn't be charged against them in the box score.

200 SEE COLTS WIN By cracky we had a fine game down on our farm when the Millman .Colts and tbe Schrum Boys got together and started to pi.y ball.

In the eighth inning Millman was to bat and slammed a home run, the ball landing in the cornfield. After the fourth inning the Schrum boys played good ball, but until then they could not hold the Colts down. The game was played for a side bet of $50. Two hundred people witnessed the game.

Reno, Nev., Aug. 2. The Premier ocean-to-ocean tourists, all of the ten cars and all of the forty odd passengers that left Atlantic City, together with the pathfinder and prairie schooner added at Indianapolis, arrived in this city early this morning, after having spent the night at the famous East Gate ranch, a few miles east of this city. They departed later ln the day for San Francisco, oelng scheduled to arrive there tonightj Five days are to be spent in the California metropolis, after which the big transcontinental caravan will push on to Los Angeles, making stops at Salinas, Pasco Robles and Santa Barbara. Several hours were spent in Reno, the visitors being the guests of the mayor and his official family, and prominent motorists. Reno never gave a party of guests a more enthusiastic reception. No point along the proposed transcontinental highway for pleasure tourists would be more benefited and that fact is thoroughly realized and appreciated here. Reno and the state of Nevada will do everything in their power to encourage and aid the project. The caravan's mileage yesterday was 160 miles, the first one hundred of which were the worst of the transcontinental trip. The last sixty, however, were ideal.
