take chance on running his eyes.
Last August he explained to this
writer that to a man with weak
eyes, the blows about the head and
face are damaging to the optics.
Even then he was going to quit.
But he kept on; this time 1t seems
definite. There's always been some
thing about boxing he's wanted.
AS a lad here he shadow boxed at
the awnings as he passed by the
stores. In school he devoted his
time to writing imaginary fights.

fighting, on January 10th, 1889 he
won the st. Paul branch YMCA

outpointed Don Stevens in three
rounds. f. February 14th of last
year he turned pro.
Among other things that hap

Another Should Serve
Since Campaign Is Over
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Representative Martin of MasSa-
chusetts. minority leader of the
House, said today he planned to re-
tire from the craftsmanship of the
Republican National Committee
probably next March,"
When I accepted the chairman
ship of the National Committee"
said Mr. Martin, 1T was with the
understanding that I would have
the Office temporarily. I believe it
would be the wiser course for me
to retire from the Craftsmanship,
now that the campaign is over"
Mr.. Martin hazarded no opinion
regarding a successor. He would, he
said, hold on for the next three or
four months The National Com
mittee, itself, he said, elects its own
chairman.
Mr.. Martin accepted the chair
manship of the National Commit
tee at the request of Wendell l..
WiIlkie after Mr.. Willkie had been
nominated for President by the Re-
publican National Convention in
Philadelphia. The presidential
nominee of political party is usual
ly accorded the prerogative of Sc
lecting the man who is to manage
his campaign as national chairman.
Whether Mr.. Willkie will have
anything to say about the selection
of a chairman when Mr.. Martin
steps out remains to be seen. If his
influence prevails with the majority
of the National Committee, he might
easily name the next chairman.
Mr.. Martins duties as Republican
floor leader in the House, he pointed
out today, would make it difficult
for him to continue as national
chairman
