Killer's Famous Punch L By FRED TURBYVILLE. , Back in the good old days when Jack DUlon of Indianapolis was knock-, ing out the biggest fighters in the world a well-dressed and good-man-j nered young fellow accompanied him; about the country. He was Jimmy j "Walters, for a long-time "Jack's man-! aper. I Jimmy piloted no other fighter, and when Dillon left the limelight so did Walters. Jimmy declared he'd be man-; ager of only a top-notcher. But here he is again getting Solly, Epstein, another Indianapolis boy, In' the sport columns. Jimmy took to the little Jewish boy because he is a miniature Jack Dillon. He is built like Jack, looks' like Jack, punches like Jack and likes I to fight Jimmy wanted to change Solly's name, but Solly picked. Says his own name is good enough for him. Solly Is almost as broad as he is long. He's only 4 feet Wk Inches tall, but across his shoulders he is 20 inches. Ho is 37 inches around the chest and wears a 15 shirt. But he only weighs 114 pounds, and from the chest down he's huilt like most any other boy. He tapers down to a size five shoe and his waist Is only 27 inches. That tremendous development of the chest and shoulders gives him a punching power greater than most bantams can boast of. He hits them hard and knocks them cold. He can stand a punch, too. Solly's record is good. He has met the best of them and he hasn't suffered suf-fered any setbacks. He has several knockouts to his credit. ( I "He has the same punch that Dil-lon Dil-lon used; it's a short one, but It puts i them out," said Walters. "Dillon learned the punch from Freddie Cole, la veteran lightweight, and Solly learned from Dillon." |
