Monument For Campi

san Francisco. Oct IA move
ment has been started here for the
raising OF a fund for the erection OF
a monument over the grave OF Eddie

died as a result OF an accidental gun
shot wound sustained while on a
hunting trip early IN the summer 1t
is proposed to hold a huge boxing
show. the receipts OF which are 10 be
donated to the fund. and It IS ex-
pected that such a show will pack the
Civic auditorium. the scene OF most
Of the important ring contests in
san Francisco.
Campi was . real fighter and
most likable chap. IN fact he was un-
doubtedly one Of the most popular
boys ever developed in California,
and It is fitting that his grave be
marked by those who flocked to see
him fight when he ranked as one
OF the country's leading bantam
weights.
