By SID MERCER.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Challenges
are rolling in for "Cannonball''
Martin, new bantam champion. BY
every nail they are reaching Madi-
son Square Garden and one came by
wire yesterday. 1t was from Harold
Smith, Of Chicago, boy who APP

two years ago and made a big hit
there.

ing down the Western bantamG.
While Martin intends to defend
his newly won honors at least two
or three times next year, he can
not be blamed for making some fat
collections out Of town. Probably
Eddie will not make the bantam
limit of 118 pounds again before
will be fighting outdoors.
The Cannonball had to work hard
to mako weight for Abe Goldstein.
His natural fighting weight ie
around 1873 pounds. II he elects to
box some exhibitions ct that pound
age he will only be doing what all
champions do.
However, he may be compelled
to battle on foreign fields until he
is ready to give somebody crack
at the title. Last fall the boxing
commission ruled that champions
must make the title class weight for
all bouts in this State except when
| appearing as a contender in a
higher class.
This rule admits Of various :nter.
pretations Yesterday Frank Flour.
noy, Garden matchmaker, asked
for a more specific ruling, as lie
has in mind several jobs for Martin
at 1872 pounds. This is the recog'
nized limit for what is called the
junior featherweight division.
However, this is not considered a
championship class.
The weights are merely gradu.
| ated for matching purposes, the
idea being to prevent patches where
weight difference would be q
handicap for the lighter man. The
rule was passed after Jack Zivic
came in several pounds over q spe.
cific weight last summer and
knocked out Archie Walker.
If strict Interpretation is placed
on this edict 1t means that Martin
must make 118 pounds for every
appearance in New York unless ne
steps out as a challenger for the
featherweight title. His opponent
could then weigh as much a. 12t
pounds. The featherweight class
Is considered the next champion
ship division above the bantam in

shots; open for ,haIf and shorter.
Learn to let your clubhead form its
right angle with the imaginary

nor toe is off the ground. In
swinging, make the descent and
ascent the same on both drawing
back and following through. Study
each shot before you make It..
