    STOPS BOXING BOUT TO SAVE WOLGAST; Leach Cross Punches Former Champion Into Helplessness When Referee Intervenes. December 18, 1915, Saturday, Page 8, 615 words The ring career of Ad Wolgast, the former lightweight champion, received a severe check last night at the Harlem Sporting Club, when the referee stopped the bout between the Western boxer and Leach Cross at the end of the sixth round. With both eyes closed and blood streaming from an old wound the former title holder staggered to his corner helpless when the gong ended the hostilities in the sixth round.

    SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9. -- Willie Ritchie, lightweight champion of the world, will box Ad Wolgast, from whom he won the title, in a ten-round bout at Milwaukee some time next month. The weight is to be 135 pounds. Ritchie sent word to-day that the financial terms were satisfactory. As there is to be no referee's decision the title will be jeopardized only by the possibility of a knockout. (Feb 10, 1914) Here is article about Ritchie and the first match between them, (Nov 28, 1912) apparently Wolgast landed some punches "below the belt". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Ritchie here is bit about Wolgast cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/wolgast.htm
