IF you can't win a championship in
the pugilistic game with your frsts,
why. simply change your ring name
and blossom out as the no der OF a
title. That is what Special Delivery ~
Hirsch has gone and done, ard now, as
Jimmy Hirst he has nis picture on tho
lctterhead paper of John J. Reisler. his
manager, and under the picture the
magic words, "Welterwelght Champion
of the World"
Hirsts record is attached, but no
where does it appear just when and
where he gained the championship. As
Special Delivery" Hirsch this boy met
with fair success in the roped arena,
but as to welterweight champion, that
is something else again.
However, all this has nothing TO DO
with Reisler's letter. which announces
that he has taken under his manage
ment Kid Wolfe, Of Cleveland, a ban
tamweight. and Kid Msh, who has just
graduated from the navy and boxes .,
the featherweight limit.
Wolfe. according to Reisler, IS the
only man who will have chance
against Kid Williams, the bantam
champion, and he intends TO bring him
along until the grand opportunty
arises. Msh is a good two handed
puncher. and Reisler swears is "a regu-
lar fighter"
