IN BIG BATTLE AT Il: !;
MARTIN FAVORED | v ] | | ! J
Battle at Ashland Will Make
or Break West Virginia
Mitt Artist.

HUNTINGTON, w Va, June
26.-With each succeeding day
the big boxing bout between Bob
Martin, of West Virginia. and Bill
Brennan, Of Chicago, takes on new
interest Jimmy Bronson, man
yager fer Martin made arrange
ments today for the exclusive use
of League Park, for his big bat
tiers training grounds. He wants
Fighting Bob to do all his late
preparatory work in the open I'M
der the burning sun, to accustom
him to its discomfitures. 1t was
a wise move and at the same time
drives Brennan on his arrival in
doors for his final workings.
Martin is due to arrive here
tomorrow, one week before the
big scrap, scheduled for July 4, in
the afternoon. It would be wise
move if those contemplating oc-
cupying ringside seats join Martin
in training for sun exposure.
With a hectic battle to watch, the
spectators, CARRIED in full street
reeaiIia will need be fitted for re-
ceiying the suns rays moro than
the stripped batt1ers who will be
doused with iced cold water for
one minute of every four minutes
they are in the ring.
Brennan's manager, Leo T.
Flynn, wired Joe Slender, promo
ter, today that Brennan would ar
rive here June so, to complete his
training Brennan will more
than likely do his final work at
Ashland Flynn said he wanted
Brennan to do his work away
from the wild West Virgin1ans.
Evidently Flynn seems to think
{ the Martin supporters are or that
stripe who would take an unfair
advantage to gain a point for
their standard bearer. Mr. Flynn
is all wrong and on his arrival
here will find the greeting accord
ed both himself and Brennan Will
be of the heartiest, whole souled
sort; they will both imagine they
rather than in the home state OF
his bitterest rival.
Advice from New York gives
the inside dope on the training or
Bill Brennan For the first time
since Kayo Bill met Jack Demp-
sey.- Manager Flynn is giving his
personal attention to the daily
grind of his heavyweight star As
sisting Brennan are Kid Norfolk,
coIored light heavyweight champ
ion; Panama Joe Cans, colored
middleweight champions; Gunner
Arnold, 55 Canadian heavyweight;
Whitley Allen and Joe :Vidas, two
clever heavyweight. Brennan. in
his training for Dempsey never
had such an array Of assistants. It
is proof of the high regard in
which he holds Bob Martin.
The battle at Clyffside Park,
near Ashland, KY, means the
M king or breaking of both men:
The winner is in direct line for a
shot at Dempsey. The defeated
boxer will be relegated to the
class of, those who tried and lost
! The victory carries with 1t a
chance with the champion of the
world, together with many tat
purses that go to the man who
| is considered as foremost chal-
lenger for the championship.
Neither man is sparing time or
dollars in preparing for atwin-
ming battle Neither man seems
to have any distinct advantage
over the other.
