RINGSIDE, MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, \. l., Dec. 19.-Cannon- ball Eddie Martin, a lumpy little Italian from the backwoods of Brooklyn, snatched the bantamweight champion ship of the world from Able Goldstein, the East Side orphan boy, on the decis- ion of the judges and the referee at the end of a 15-round melee ill the garden ring Friday night,
 Abe had held the title less flan a year, having won it from Joe Lynch by decision one night last winter.
 Martin, as old Joe Humphries, the announcer of the garden brawls, re minded the press row after he had stretched his neck to the naked girders of the roof to bawl the verdict of the judges is the first bantamweight cham pion that Brooklyn has laid claim to since the days of terrific Terry Me Govern. Al Mccoy, who held the mid dleweight title for time, was a lad from the sinister side of the bridge and so was Brooklyn Tommy Sullivan, the pink haired featherweight, who had a shady claim on the featherweight cham pionship for few months some years ago, because he had outsprinted Abe Attell But this Martin boy, whose right name sounds like something from the menu of Neapoltan table D'I1ote, is the first 120- -pounder from Brooklyn to land on the top of the heap since the Mauling Mick, Terrible Terry was up there in his gory glory.
 Martin Surprised
 If Goldstein was surprised by the de- cision which deprived him of the cham pionship, this Martin kid was almost floored. He had no more expectation of the coming champion of the world when the bell intoned the signal that ended the fight after 4J minutes of messy action than Peggy Joyce has of becoming president of the Anti-Ciga- rette League.
 He stood in his corner on set of stumpy, black upholstered legs, his chest, which is as thick as steamer trunk. heavins and falling with d four inch rip, facing Humphreys and hoping against his bosom convictions. for q draw decision which might or might not entitle him to q return match.

Greatest Play
 IEver Saw
By TY COBB Greatest Player of All Time

The greatest play I ever saw was made on October 13, 1908, in the fourth game of the world series between the Detroit Tigers and Chicago Clubs. It spoiled oud chance of victory in that game, and actually was the turning point of the entire series.
 "Miner" Brown, one of the greatest pitchers in the history of baseball and a remarkable fielder at all times turned the trick.
 fourth inning. O'Leary started that period with a clean single to left, and Crawford pushed another to the same territory. I was up next, and was followed by Rossman, a slugger, and "Germany" Schaefer, good, depend able hitter.
 The play, of course, was to bunt. Even if it was merely a sacrifice, run ners would be on second and third with only one out. Besides, l was fairly fast in those days, and figured to have an excellent chance to beat out an in field tap.
 I bunted, and the ball squirmed down the third base line in inc shape. But the "Nliner" came dashing toward it with incredible speed. OLeary was flying toward third as fast as his pedals could take him. Schaefer was nearing second, and I was stepping on the gas toward first We all knew that the game depended on our speed.
 Brown speared the ball with one hand, and while bent in that awkward position, whirled about like a top, and burned the ball to Steinfeldt, the third baseman, who had stuck to his position It beat Charley OLeary by step, and with it went the ball game.
 No pitcher ever made a finer play than Miner Brown did that day, and no one ever made one at a moment that was more critical or called for a greater display of nerve and ability. | Copyright, 1924, by Public Ledger Company

Urge'Building of
Campaign Fund of
N. Y. Workers Party

NEW YORK, Oct. Is. - Placing
new party on the ballot in New York
is a complicated Job that required
intending patience and time. It is
laborious, costly proceeding, but the
successful completion of the task
justifies every sacrifice made, for we
are now in position to reach masses
of workers with our message, who
would otherwise have gwen us no
consideration.
In order to take advantage Of the
opportunity presented to us we must
have money to pay for literature for
free distribution. We must have
money to tour speakers. Money is
needed to pay the hall rents for
meetings. Signs and posters must be
gotten out at once. II is estimated
that the cost of this job will amount
to five thousand dollars. Nothing can
be done unless the necessary funds
are obtained, and these are needed
at once, If we are to take advantage
OF our opportunity.
Forward your dollars and those of
your friends to the headquarters of
the Workers Party Campaign Com
mittee, 21O East 18th Street, New
York City. Make checks payable to

PLANS FOR TAG
DAY OCT. 25-26
Tag Day for Campaign
Funds Well Under Way

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct, lex
tensive and effective plans were made
at the Tag Day Conference. of Branch
Secretaries to hold Tag Day on Oct.
rs and 26 in order to raise funds to
carry out the full program of the
campaign committee of the Workers
Party.
All branches will be requested to
run socials or affairs for the benefit
of the Tag Day on Saturday night,
Oct 25. The conference also voted
that each branch be called upon to
raise certain sum as it's quota Of the
total, and that this quota be based on
the per capita Of the branch
Tho Conference was of the opinion
that since the need for funds was very
pressing, the branches be instructed
to discipline their members who fail
to volunteer their services in this
Tag Day. The Harlem Section with a
membership of more than 1900 voted
to fine each member who fails to act
as volunteer in this Tag Day the
sum Of So.
Meet Again Oct. II.
The delegates at this conference
urged the need of calling a second
conference to complete the details Of
the Tag Day and create sentiment for
forceful and enthusiastic response.
This second and final conference will
be held Friday, October II, at $50
p. M, at the campaign headquarters.
Every Tag Day Secretary should
make 1t his business to be present.
Each secretary should be in a posi-
ton to give an estimate of the num-
Der of volunteers he will be able to
recruit, and the number of Tag Day
boxes and other MARTIAL that he needs.
The conference decided to allot dis
tricts or territories to each headquar-
ters. So far the Tag Day Committee
has received an incomplete list Of the
Tag Day headquarters as follows:
Main station at Campaign Head
quarters, 21O East 18th ST., N Y. c..
Greek Home, S45 West seth st.
Hungarian Workers Home, $50 East
81 Street.
Harlem Section, GA E. 1O4th street.
Bronx Section Headquarters, 1347
Boston Road.
Russian Williamsburg Headquar-
ters, 319 Grand Ave-, Brooklyn.
Williamsburg Section, 81 Graham
Ave, Brooklyn.
Brownsville Section, 1874 Pitkin
Ave, Brooklyn.
South Brooklyn Section, 764-4oth
Street, Brooklyn.
All comrades and sympathizers are
urged to register in advance, so that
the committee will be in position to
gauge the supply of Tag Day material
Comrades should make every effort to
obtain volunteers at open air meet
ings, thru speakers announcements,
at affairs, meetings and by personal
approach. If there are lists available
from former Tag Day volunteers, the
secretaries should use every means to
get these people for volunteers in this
Tag Day.
Success depends upon the number
of volunteers that we can recruit to
do this work. More pep, comrades.
We must make this Tag Day the big
money raiser in the campaign.
