4 ‘les GIANTS START NORTH AFTER TWO MORE DAYS AT SAN ANTONIO Bob Martin Is Working His Way to the Top. OB MARTIN, A. EB. F. heavy- weight champion, seems to have { borrowed the knockout idea. Martin has been establishing a knockout record. Last week he knocked out three men on three suc- bestive nights. This is good practice for the big fellow, and if he keeps fat it he'll work into position for a track at the heavyweight champion- Bhip in course of time. Martin has been coming along as well as any one could expect. Be- ie a big fellow, it was all right for im to make a late start. He began ‘ing while in the army in France, at the age of twenty. There he won A. E, F, championship, knocking it twenty-two men in twenty-seven thts, and winning the other bouts on points. Returning from the war, Martin went in for professional boxing. In 1920 he won fifteen out of twenty fights witn knockouts. Martin ts six Yeet two inches tall, weighs 190 pounds, and is well built. He has fighting blood in him, coming rom the same part of the country hat produced Jeffries and Dempscy t-West Virginia,’ Both Jeffries and mpsey were of old Virginia fam- Jes.

IN BOTH Manager Killifer, Looking Into 1922 prospects of the sizrteen major eluh, HICAGO'S Cubs are not claiming any pennant this season, As a matter of fact, they'll be well pleased if they finish within the first vision.

It had been rumored that the sensational raquet wielder had entered Columbia Uni+ versity, but his return to the institu- tion yesterday convinced the doubting « ones that he is still proud to carry the maroon colors.

Ife arrived froni Cuba the day before yesterday and came back to the school as soon as he arrived. He fixed it up with the faculty so that he might not be kept back in his studies because of his enforced absence, The Fordham Prep tennis team has certainly received a big boost by the return of the champ.
