Wolgast Adolph
Adolphus Wolgast, the "Michigan Wildcat", was a Lightweight boxing champ. He turned pro in 1906, and in 1910 earned the championship. Wolgast defended the title against Joe Rivers in 1912 - they knocked each other out, and controversially, the win was awarded to Wolgast. Wolgast defended the belt 4 more times before losing it to Willie Ritchie in 1912. In 1917, Wolgast was declared incompetent and a guardianship was set up for him. He suffered a breakdown, was placed in a sanitarium from which he escaped, and was found living in the "North Woods" of California as a "mountain man." In the early 1920s, an owner of a boxing gym, took Wolgast "under his wing" and allowed him to train, though Wolgast never fought again.
