WaShington's Veteran Intends
Stopping New Workers.
Climb to the Top.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Mike Martin, the safe and sane
trainer of the Griffmen, is to pre-
pare Tommy Lowe for his battle on
New Year afternoon with Knockout
| Brown, the blond southpaw slugger
from New York. This means that
Lowe will be in superb condition
when he chambers through the ropes
at the new Ardmore clubhouse.
81 realize my chance to get into
the front of my class" says Tommy
Lowe, "and so I'm going to have
Martin get me right. If l can beat
Brown, I'll be in line for some big
money in New York and I'm going
out to beat him. know that Brown
is rushing boy who will make me
go some, but / think I'll be able to
stop his left hand swings and out
point him. Indeed, if l see a chance,
I'll shoot over right heavy enough
to drop him."
Obtaining Martin is a ten-strike for
Washington's popular lightweight. In
his day Martin handled many ring
artists. When Terry McGovern was
knocking them al out in two or IN. ee
rounds. Martin was his trainer, aud al
ways IN his corner with advice. This
is not generally known, as Martin has
been connected with baseball and loot
ball teams for so long. II is true, never
the.ess, and Lowe has done well TO get
him.
Lowe and his manager. Jerry Nc
Carthy, came to terms with the Ard
more management late yesterday, and
both expressed themselves as perfectly
satisfied with everything.
Il have been doing light work for a
couple of weeks explained Lowe to-
day. and by the time 1 enter the ring

know that ! have always delivered.
They saw me battle Cortez and Nelson
here in tho old club house. They know
that ] kept my speed to the very end.
Well. I'm going to do the same thing
this time.
'Of course. I'll have to hustle to hold
my own with Brown. I've seen him in
action. He's all over you all the me.

work overtime to keep him away 'ong
