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.

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!

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.
