BATTLER IS VERIT BADLY BEATEN
(By Alaska News Bureau)
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 22? Beaten
and bleeding and so weak that he could
scarcely raise hls> hands, Battling Nel
son, lightweight champion of the world
had his crown wrested from him yes
terday afternoon by Ad Wolgast, the
fighting Dutchman from Milwaukee.
Nelson was beaten all through the
fight and In the middle of the fortieth
round Referee Eddie Smith, to save
Nelson from needless punishment,
steeped in between the meu and ser.6
them to their corners. Smith then
awarded the fight to Wolgast. Even
Nelson did not protest, although the
Indomitable spirit of the Durable Dano(
would have carried him to the end
without flinching.
For the first time in his life Nelson
met a man who was strong enough to
beat him at his own game. Wolgast
met the Dane half way and the fight
was one continual sluglng match, with
Nelson on the receiving end most of
the time. For the first time in his
life Nelson was forced to break groun
and more than once Wolgast backed
him around the ring, showering blows
upon him from every angle. Neither
could Nelson outlast Wolgast, for at
the end of the fight Wolgast was still
I strong, while Nelson was so weak that
he staggered about like a drunken man
and could not raise his right arm to
shake hands with his victorious op
ponent.
The fight was comparatively even
until the 18th round, when Wolgast
completely closed Nelson's right eye
with an overhand swing. Thus handi
I capped Nelson was at a disadvantage
and from then on it was all Wolgast.
In the 23d round Nelson floored
Wolgast with a stiff left hook. The
Dutchman was up again in three se
conds and tore into Nelson harder
than before.
After the thirtieth round Nelson
steadily grew weaker and Wolgast
forced matters with undiminished
strength. It was merely a question
of whether the Dane could last forty
five rounds and Smith is praised for
stopping the fight when he did.
Nelson will leave for Chicago to
day. He said today he thought he
could have lasted the limit. He is
undecided whether to challenge Wol
gast for another fight.
