Tunney had no trouble winning this title. His victim in the finals was Ted Jamiesan. Meanwhile Martin went on to win the.heavyweight title. Passing years have established Tunney as the best fighter developed in the service. The best by far. Martin returned from overseas with an energetic ballyhooer in the the person of Jimmy Bronson. who “clrcused” him from one end of the country to- the other. Bronson was instrumental in launching a vigorous campaign against Jack Dempsey on grounds of slackerism, the purpose of which was to crush Dempsey in public as- teem and automatically elevate Mar- tin, with his war record, to a com- manding position among the heavy- weights. They Made Money Martin enjoyed a limited vogue. He had a line right-hand punch and was game. Bronson made plenty of money for‘ and with him.

The records do not show that he won the decision but he whipped htfn just the same. That was the soldier champion's finest bid for glory in the ring. It was just about his last. too. He nev- er fought a good fight after'that. Some months later-he was tempo- rarily blinded by Fay Kaiser at Bal- timore. and was unable to leave his hotel for a week. ' Eventually Bronson persuaded him to retire. For a while he was a state ranger paroling the mountain- ous panes of his native Virginia. While Martin was building up a 8100.000 bank roll (which he lpter fritted away. incidentally) Tunney the man who had whipped him in Paris. was pounding the streets of New York looking for a job. "I didn't want so be a fighter." explains Tunney. "I wanted to go into business. I was willing to take my old job back and at the same money. Willing? Say. I was eager."

At a recent meeting of the Spring- weod Football team it was voted by the members to retain Andrew Bel- lus as coach and Wallace Palmer will act as manager. Palmer manag-~ ed the team last year and brought the players through a very success- ful season. They defeated some of the best teams in this vicinity and Claimed the state title due to their victory over the Mlddletown eleven which had claimed the honor. The eleven this year will include practically the same men who don- ned the Springwood uniform lust season. The first contest will be play— ed late in September and Manager Palmer is now busily engaged book- ing games. There will be another meeting of the team September 4. and new uni- forms and equipment will be pur- chased. The team hopes to retain the title it claims and will play some of the best elevens in the state. Zeno: wuums You can always count on the United States Golf Association for the unexpected. . . .
