they would be favorable to certain
legislation, such facts should be made

"The senate resolution Introduced
by Senator Cummins waa In response
to President Wilson's statement that
efforts weTe being made to influence
legislation In this congress. It was
rather llrVtited to lobbying now goin;
on. Since then there have been dis
closed evidences of extensive lobbying
that I think we ought to Inquire into

"We have found thero Is a new
kind of insidious lobbying; testimony
has been given to show that great In

committees where their opinions
would confrol legislation. though
there might be no actual corruption

a couple of hundred dollura. Only
thp big champions got big money.
Fighting was a rough game then.
It wasn't ao much the money that
drew men to the ring. Most of them
fought because they'd rather flght
than do anything le. Why, among
the old-time (lightweights Joe Clans,
Dal Hawkins, Kid McKadden, Kid Mo
Farhtnd and that Jot any one Of
whom would bs a world's champion
today used to IWht for purse, of $600
1600 or J700. And they'd fight win
ner take all and be glad to gat the
chance.
Now look at the lightweights today
and what they get and what they ex
pect Ad Wolgust Is a good little
fighter, but he Isn't any better than a
whole lot of the old-timers. Wolgast
got Into the habit of demanding
something like 122,000 for his "end"
wnenevr he was asked to make a
match. He got the money madness
and not It bad.
After Kitchle best him and took the
title one might expect to hear of Wol-
gnst's being willing to fight all thej
nest lightweights ns fast as he could
get them, for any fair purse offered,
to work back into the title .gain. He
didn't do It. Even after he was be.t-
en by Tommy Murphy he had an Ideai
that he was worth a. much as ever I
In the ring. Wolgast has probably
broken off and tefused more matohe
and has fought less as a champion
than any title holder In the business.
Perhaps he's unlucky; but I " know
some old-timer, who wouldn't have
called off a match for a dislocated
thumb, the way Wo!gat has called off
hi. match With Featherweight Dun
dee at the last moment, and called It
off for good. !
We didn't call off mutches for any
thing lets than a broken leg when I
was fighting. I remember the day 1
boxed Jack O'Brien In Philadelphia.
That match was on once and I trained
for It and got Into good shape. Then
the match was postponed and I waa
finally notified that It was all off. I
got out of training and didn't do a
stroke of work for several weeks, t
was notllled that the , fight waa on
again in a couple of days. I learned
that O'hrlcn had been foxing It. Ho
had been training down f Atlantic
cuy an inn time getting ready to puti
it over tho "old man" when he caught I
him out of condition. I didn't call It
off. I went down to Philadelphia and
had O'Brien on the floor, whipped and
practically out, when the police Jump
