"It has been more than four years now that Wolgast has lost then title to Willie Ritchie on a foul, and since that time the championship has passed from Ritchie into the hands of Freddie Welsh.
     But Wolgast has been drifting along, seeking match after match with champions. He laid Freddie Welsh cold in Denver, but referee Floto declared the blow was foul.
     Wolgast belongs to the wonderful old school of fighters, the kind who wades in, heads down and arms going like flails. They go in the ring to win. They are fighters."
