  • Harry Angstrom said:
    The fight took place in San Francisco, which ties in with the Cana Studio tag noted above and visible in the photo as embossed letters.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Your information will make all 3 photos of this fight easier to find in the future! We'll add the first name and fight info to each image, though likely to go with Colma, CA, since Cyber Boxing Zone gives that place name for the Wolgast-Ritchie fight on Nov. 28. (Looks like they fought on May 11 in San Franciso.) cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/wolgast.htm Further checking: Boxing record lists Daly City, CA (neighbor to both Colma and San Francisco) for the fight's location, www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=42487&cat=boxer. Might go with "San Francisco area" for now!

[Adolph] Wolgast falling, 16th round (LOC)

  • Harry Angstrom said:
    from Wikipedia article about Willie Ritchie: 'Ritchie's first title shot in a match with lightweight champion Ad Wolgast on November 28, 1912 in San Francisco. Ritchie dominated the fight, and after Wolgast landed two blows below the belt in the sixteenth round, the referee called the fight for Ritchie."
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks for connecting this to the event, which is also shown in a couple of other Bain photographs. We'll add some name and date information to our description of this photo.
