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

from The Library of Congress

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.

From www.genevany.org/50/ '1912 Cyclone hit SW edge of Geneva on September 1; razed huge barns on White Springs Farm. ' And from www.belhurstcastle.com/whitehistory.html 'Sunday, September 1, 1912, was a day of disaster for White Springs Farm and the immediate vicinity. A cyclone wrought havoc, leveling the main group of dairy barns and uprooting most of the beautiful elms on the farm. A three-quarter ton dinner bell from one of the barns was found a half-mile away. Miraculously, there was no loss of human life, though four or five calves were killed. Clean-up operations were extensive, and tree experts were brought in to salvage what trees could be saved. Mr. Lewis sold the Guernseys, rather than replace the barns. By 1920 the cattle business was over.' Since then, the farm has apparently been a poultry farm, an orchard, a home for the elderly, and is now a hotel and winery.
