 Fay Keiser of Cumberland, Md, was Martins opponent. Keiser was one of the toughest warriors that ever battled in amateur ranks. A bfs powerful fel- low, shfty as a cat, trained to the min ute, and a master boxer, he was a formidable foe for any man. Martin found him so. But Martin, through the ten rounds of that fight. gradually cut down Keiser and by being the victor in practically every round. won the decis-
 ion by the proverbial mile.
 By that time the attention Of the boxing enthusiasts of the American army was directed toward Martin. They
 had gone wild over this youthful giant and insisted that he could whip any man
 in the world They made various matches for him against men who felt that they were better-and Martin whipped them all, In lis march from obscurity to an army boxer to the championship of the A. F. F., Martin fought S battles. lie won each and every one of them. Eight cen of his victories were via the knock out route, most of them being in the first or second round.
 BEGINS FIGHT SLOWLY Martin is the type of warrior whc usually starts off rather slowly in the early part of the first round, as Tar as offensiveness is concerned. It is his method to draw out the other fellow and to see what he's got Martin has tricks that are designed to uncover any form of attack in jig time. And because of this he has been able in most of his fights to go out in the last half Of the first round, furiously aggressive. and begin battering at his opponent. driving him finally into inconsistencies. The big fight of Martins career is that which he waged with the inter- allied championship at stake: the fight that made him the champion fighter oi 10 GOO GOO fighting men," And the story Of that fight is one that will be recounted by Jimmy Bronson, in tomorrow's ar ticle
