hicago Lightweight Wins Tough Battle From Ex-Champion of the Class Before a Crowd of 4,000 FightFans.

Milwaukee, Wis.. Dec. 20. Ad Wolgast can't claJ mthe 133-pound championship &fter today. The famous Dutchman from Cadillac took a punchingfrom Charlie White, the Chicago boy, through ten rounds of fierce milling in Frank Mulkern's Hippodrome arena. Wolgast was not the Wolgast of old. He was good, but not good enough. At the conclusion he was weary and sfck. He looked disgusted with himself as he went to his corner, and his seconds wiped his bleeding mouth. No, Ad' Wolgast won't come back. He is through as a champion, but there's many a lightweight he still can lick. The battle was so fierce It figuratively stood the 4,000 folks present on

their heads. It was the finest combat

of the season In this boxing town.

Wolgast fought aa he has- always

fought. He pressed White continually

under cover of his famous crouch and

turtle back guard of gloves and elbows. When he got close he cut loose invariably with his terrible left and occasionally with an overhand right. White was bothered somewhat by the Wolgast methods .at the start, but he soon solved the mystery. Then he

started hooking with both his hands and hitting viciously. He popped Ad on the right ear ton times a round with the left, jammed up his right eye with the same and slashed his mouth with the right. The Chicago boy had but one bad round, the sixth. Here Wolgast nailed him In the face with a left that

with a comfortable margin to spare. In fact we think White was so much the better man at the finish that his timidity prevented his scoring a more decisive victory. Wolgast, to ihose who watched him closely, showed sign of being ready to drop. He was "in," as the ring birds say. White,

with his extreme caution, refused to step in and try to finish htm. He hurt Ad badly early In the round and had the Wildcat doing the "fighter's dance" to keep hiswlts about him. BURNS ISHJUUR6 . BOiRJF PELKEY Tommy Says He Is Teaching Protege to Time His Wallops.

COBB INVENTS NEW BALL BAT New Tork, Dec. 20. Ty Cobb has turned inventor. The slugging outfielder of the Detroit Tigers has made

a bat which will do away with the ting not that which is brought upon the pitcher when Ty peels oft a base hit, but the sting which goes through the batter's hands when the bat and ball meet. Cobb's new bit has a thin layer of cork at the handle. This prevents the bat from slipping and If successful will do away with the present method of

winding tape.
