Paul Samson Koerner, known around
Fourteenth street and Third avenue,
In New York, as just plain Paul Sam
son, stepped from the stokehold of the
Reliance into the heavyweight cham
pionship OF Germany tonight. Paul
knocked out Hans Breitenstraetter,
the native titleholder, in the ninth
round of what was to have been a
fifteen round fight.
Paul bounced the blond Teuton off
the canvas four times before giving
him his sleeping potion. which was
dealt out in the form OF a left hook
that fairly crackled with persuasion.
1t was fifteen minutes later before
Herr Hans Breitenstraetter awoke to
the fact that Paul Samson Koerner Of
Fourteenth street and &rhird avenue,
New York, was the new heavyweight
champion of Germany.
Berlin sporting circles are agog over
this new champion from Anlerica and
Berlin boxing fans are in the slough OF
despond They had pictured for Herr
Breitenstraetter brilliant future. They
had matched him with Sikh. with Beck
EFT, with Dempsey himself. And along
came this stoker from Fourteenth street
ind Third avenue and knocked Ger
nany's dream Of world supremacy with
klOyes into a cooked hat.
Hans Wagner Challenges.

from America and vows TO save Teu-
tonia from this new disgrace, Samson
Koerner'is busy preparing to head right

cination for him.
