���� "Willie Hoppe, one of Ad Wolgast's training partners, put Ad to the mat yesterday with a blow to the jaw. Ad got up and tore into the boy, and all but succeeded in knocking him out before the bell saved him. The boys wore 10-ounce gloves."
���� "Willie Ritchie, when he heard of the sparring partners exploit, was surprised. He said that he hoped "those fellows" wouldn't injure Wolgast as he expected to beat him Thanksgiving Day."
