Morgan and Martin Mix in Brooklyn Junior Lightwieght Champ 7-5 Favorite to Keep His Crown. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July s.—Tod Morgan of Seattle, Wash., will defend his junior lightweight boxing title, against Eddie (Cannonball) Martin of New York, former bantamweight champion, in a fifteen-round bout at Ebbets field, Brooklyn, tonight. Scheduled for Wednesday night, the bout was postponed until tonight at the request of Promoter Humbert J. Fugazy, who deemed it inadvisable to hold the contest on the night of a holiday. Morgan frequently has been beat-' en in non-championship bouts, but thus far has always maTTaged to win when his title was at stake. Morgan is a clever boxer and prone to coast with no reward to fight for. Even in his last two championship matches against Joe Glick of Brooklyn and Martin several weeks ago, Morgan barely saved his title. Glick was ahead on points when he fouled Morgan in the fourteenth round. Morgan won a contested decision over Martin. Staging a remarkable comeback after losing his 118-pound title, Martin did not lose a bout after his return to the ring until Morgan won a, decision from him. Ordinarily Morgan might not consent to a return match with Martin, but the junior lightweight titleholder wants to convince the New York fight colony he had not gone back. Morgan is a 7 to 5 favofite in the betting.
