liobidonu Wins
Snm Itobldeau. local lightweight, whoso
one ambition Is to redeem himself In
battle with Charley White, proved on
Saturday night that he was punching na
hard as ever, when he easily won from
Young l.ustlg. of New York, at tho Na
tional A C. Overan xlousuess In the sec
ond round caused I'obldeau to lose a
chance to win by the knockout route.
After Itobldeau had floored l.ustlg with
n left-hand hook, preceded by a right
hand punch cm tile Jaw for the count of
nine, Sammy became as wild as a March
hare In his endeavor to knock out the
New Yorker. The latter keptjn cool head
and managed to weather out the round
by ducking and 'loldlng Again In the
sixth session l.ustlg was groggy from
right-hand punches on the Jaw, but
Itobldeau was unable to land a haymaker
befor- the llnal sound of tho gong.
A'.'rough Joe Hirst thciwcd to advan
tage l'l Hashes over Tommy Itobsnn, of
New York, the hitter's aggressiveness
and consistent tearing in enabled him to
win by a narrow margin. Hirst carried
many pounds of superfluous weight
mound his mld-sectlou, which made him
unusually slow. Ho hdd on at every
opportunity nnd seemed In no lit condi
tion to box.
Fi ankle Conlfrey made a decided hit
with his clever lighting and gave Kddlo
Wagnnd a neat trimming It was tho
best fight on the program, and Conlfrey
was cheered to the echo when ho left tho

defeated Ritz Walters and Danny Illicit
stopped Johnny Huek In tho tlrst round.
Wolgast in Hail
A six-months suspension by tho Now
York Doxlng "ommlsslnn today hangs
over the head 1 1 Ad Wolgast as a result
of his match with Leach Cross. Greedi
ness on tho part of the Cadillai Plow
boy Is the cause. Ad walked Into tho
mess of trouble when he went down to
Atlanta, Ga., to meet Frank Whitney,
who the former llguied a "soft one," after
Wolgnst had signed up to meet Leach
i. oss In New York. In the Atlanta mix
the westerner suffeied a deep gash which
forced him to quit In the sixth lound. The
same wound handicapped Wolgast against
Cross and because of his poor showing
Ad will face charges brought by tho
diminish.
A co-day suspension also may fall to
Cross If he lulls to Keep an alleged
agieement, as the winner of the Wolgast
affair, to meet Packey Hommey.
Scraps About Scrappers
Hobby Hejnolils will hae to he In littler
Hhupa than ever for hla match with Frnnkle
Conlfrey at the Douglas tomorrow night. Conl
frey has proved himself not only a clever
boxer, but also a hard puncher. Jf he connects
with Iteynolila' Jaw that gentleman may taku
a little unwonted nap.
The bout between Kenny Kaufman and At
Shubert at Providence resulted in such a good
match that a New Hedford promoter hooked
the pair to meet In u J5-round set-to Christ
