"From the point of view of the managers there is no doubt that Wolgast was the ideal prizefighter. He always was willing to step into the ring at the command of the mastermind, to take a beating, and to listen to the voice of the manager shouting, "Go on in. He can't hurt us!"
     Nearly all of Wolgast's former managers have their health and are in no danger of the almshouse or the insane asylum. Oh yes. There is no doubt that Ad Wolgast was the ideal prizefighter from the manager's point view. But poor little Wolgast will be taken to a state insane asylum shortly. The blows that the managers did not feel seem to have had upon Wolgast. Perhaps the fighter was just a trifle more sensitive than the manager."
