Britain's Little Flyweight
Champion is Not Dis
couraged Over His Knock
Out at Hands of Pete Her
man ~ May Seek Bout
with Joe Lynch.
BY JACK VEIOCK

fsTAFF CORRESPONDENT D.. n. SERvlCEI
NEW YORK. March 1S.-JlmWy
Wilde isn't discouraged over his
Knockout at the hands Of Pete Her
man.
Britain's little fyweight champion
feels that he has an out. as Herman
was topheavy in the London bout, and
doesn't believe his defeat will be held
against him on thls side as a fstic
attraction.
As a result he plans to return to tho
United States in the near future to
sock bouts with Americas best. and
he may even leave his calling card at
Champ Joe I.ynch's residence.
When Herman and Wilde met me
little Rriton weighed 10s pounds. Her
man, who had agreed to make l18
was several pounds overweight, and
at the outset Jimmy rebelled. declar-
ing he would not go on, As there was
no opponent to substitute for Wilde,
however, the promoters prevailed on
the hyweight champion to take Her
man on regardless of the weight and
he did so with disastrous results.
Wilde Is the only real champion
England has had in a hstic division
for some time and he made such a ia
vorable impression when he visited
this country last year that his return
viii, no doubt. be welcomed by the
boxing fans and he should be able to
find plenty OF opponents.
While we have Pete Herman in mind
it is timely to note here that Joe
Lynch. who dethroned the New Or-
leans boy. stands ready and willing
to give him a return bout at any time.
Eddie Meade, manager Of Lynch, pens
us these lines to -substantiate Joe's
promise TO Herman before they were
matched at Madison Square Garden:
on December %, the day following
Joe Lynch's victory over Pete Herman
for the b-antamweight championship OF
the world. Joe and myself stated that
Herman would be granted a return
match providing he defeated Jimmy

a pocket veto, which would give ITO
