promoter of New England. 1t seems
hat Jimmy's "pater" felt that he
had done his time in the amateur
'angs and feeling that Mulligan was
he only one who could give the boy
his first chance, he approached the
Waterbury man and asked him to
rive the local boy a chance.
Mulligan Immediately said that he
would give him chance on his next
lard. That happened to be the
laplan- Garcia joust at the Velo-
rome in Hartford and George Null
6gan found that he could not see his
kay clear to set Jimmy on the pro-
essional road because of the size OF
The card.
He sent word to Clinch senior and
he local man Immediately saw Null
|ean's side of it. But, TO show the
|onor with which Mulligan views his
Fiven word, the Waterbury man did
OF promptly forget the promise he
lad made but Immediately upon get
ing together his card for the fight
|ext Tuesday night, he signed jim
|ly Clinch to meet his old rival IN
he simon-pure ranks, Bill Cunning
am to battle in the first prelimin-
Try of the night.
