"Local fans will make the trip on special trains, which will leave over the Northwestern and St. Paul at 6:30 o'clock. Although a majority expects Welsh to win by a decisive margin, there are several who will make the trip with the expectation of seeing Wolgast put over one of his old time haymakers.
     Dope indicates Welsh should be an easy winner on points. The Englishman is the class of the match, and the only chance Wolgast has to regain the title he lost to Willie Ritchie is to knock out his opponent. Followers of the game always are looking for the unexpected, however, and the former holder of the title may put it over."
