A MODEST TONE
It will be noticed that Snell preserves a modest tone regarding his contests, simply stating the facts, but quotations from cuttings of Montreal newspapers which he was forwarded will give some idea of the show he has put up. one account say’s : Snell in his first appearance in this country at Toronto Friday, knocked out Johnny Wolgast, the tough Johnny Wolgast battler in a hurricane match showing both ability to take and give, and Lou Marsh, the Toronto writer, who knows a fighter when he sees one, says of him: Snell caught the fans favour with his hard punching and excellent defence. He had a tough, rugged opponent in Johnny Wolgast of Philadelphia but he blocked most of Wolgast’s heavy punches, and in the third and forth round, punched him goofy. he Had Wolgast ready for the cleaners when the towel came in. Snell is sure of future engagements here.
