Since Coulon confessed that he has accumulated $75,O in the ring. number of promising bantams have renewed their championship ann bitions-
 The Kids most dangerous rival is Eddie Campi, the San Francisco box CT. Eddie. whose real name is Edward De Campus, was born in the Cali he will reach manhood's estate on Saturday. Williams, who is a native of Copenhagen, Denmark, won't be twenty-one until December. Eddie has fought Williams twice, and both times the Baltimore lad had the best of the argument. but lCampf isn't dtscour- aged.
 Eddie is a bit taller than the general run of ,bantams. standing five feet four inches. while Williams is three inches shorter, and Cou1on measured only. five feet from tip to tip Like the ex- champion, Campi has both French and Italian blood in his veins. which makes CT. Campi and Williams fought their first battle at Vernon, Cal. in February of last year. For ten rounds the native son easily outpointed the Ba1tinorean, and at one time it looked as if Eddie would win by a Knockout Williams made hurricane finish and was awarded the decision, but 1t was by narrow margin
 They fought again last January, and Campi fully held his own up to the twelfth round, when Williams put over knockout. Campi also fought two battles with Frankie Burns. the Jersey City bantam. last year. winning the decision in twenty rounds at Vernon, and going fifteen rounds to a draw in Denver. With his height and reach Campi needs only a little more meat on his bones in order to enter the featherweight ransk.
 The Californian is clever, fast, a thorough ring general. and carries a good waI1op in his right fist. While he has never had any trouble in rna.k- ing the bantamweight limit, it is like Iy that he will soon outgrow, in which case a. certain handsome young Irish American in Cleveland had better sit up and take notice. Campi isn't quite good. enough for Williams, judging from past performances. but at that he is about as good a knight of the gloves as can be found in America to- day. i4gIGsl
