THE JIMMY WILDE STORY
When Jimmy Delayed A Fight For A Shampoo And Shave
By CHARLES BARNETT
There was still one London boxer fight fans were itching to see pitted against Jimmy Wilde. He was Sid Smith, of Bermondsey, who possessed the distinction of having won the first flyweight bell, that which is now in the hands of Wilde. Smith outpointed Joe Wilson for the trophy in December, 1911, but later gave up the British title because of weight trouble.
Music-hall devotees got to know Smith as a boxing stooge for the comedian, Harry Weldon. They did a comic boxing turn und while the gloves were being adjusted and the announcer introduced the pair, Weldon kept reminding him of his supposed ring record,
"Tell on what I did to Colin, ter, yet with atrocious flukes I Bell he would repeat. The managed to win. parase became most popular.

It is raining as I write and until the heavy frost comes we are- unlikely again to have bone-hard grounds and an ultra-light ball. In short, don't put too much store on what you have seen so far. Look out for shocks and surprises. Some teams in the top section of the table will tumble-and teams at present in the doldrums will suddenly gain new life from the softer pitches.
