Robert I'luslmmons, ex. hnmt'lim of the world. In. The Atlanta Journa... 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 ed In to gave him with half a min ute of the round still to go.
