  Apparently there was some confusion on the referee's part in this match: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9901E1D61538E633A...

  Looks like the caption is actually Wolgast - Murphy, I think. According to the New York Times, Tommy Murphy and Ad Wolgast fought a 20-round draw in San Francisco on Feb. 22, 1913. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A03EFDA133BE633A...

  That's "Ad" Wolgast, "Ad" short for Adolph. He became lightweight boxing champion of the world in 1910: www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,861392,00.html See more Wolgast pics here: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2449486430/ www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2536796784/
