Fight Fans Surprised When Bill Brennan Makes Good Showing in 12 Rounds
BT JACK VBIOCK (I. N. Service Sporting liditor.l N-;V YORK. Dec. IS. Jack Uemp
ry has the fistic fans in the midst a -catch as catch can guessing contest today. Jack is sti'.i the worU's champion a.-.d $100,000 richer as a result of his twelve-round knockout victory over Bill Brennan. He ;s also the latest
thing in puzzles. The showing of the
against Brennan was a lis surprise. "When they met before Dtrapsey won m six rounds, t.ast night Brennan stood up twice as Ions and gave the champion a hammer and tongs sort of fight that i on the plaudits of some lS.t't'O :.g'.it fans away from the t it'ehoidcr. S hat the light fans want to kr.o'.v is: 'How come."' Jack Kearny manager of the cliamp. .in. said after the bout that Dempsey w as a bit too finely draw n. He looked it at that, and he v. us nervous as a race horse while he posed with Bren-
naji for the Camera men, his legs a nemble as he stood facing the Chicasoan. He did not look hke the same old Dempsey. Throughout the 12 rounds it appeared to some at the ringside that Dempsey failed to take advantage of open:nge. Some whispered that maybe he vis busy making a good movie of the i-iout. The pictures vi ill be worth a lot o" mor.ey in New York state. The avfiije man who saw the fight, however, :t willing to admit today that Breni.r.n grave the champion tho battle of h.s life and that Dempsey did a right's work in knocking- him out. At times Dempsey showed a flash of ; he form he displayed against Fulton. Wiilard and ether opponents. He n-juld lash out with a right or a left, shooting the blow home with lightning-like speed and rocking Brennan
with the force of it. Yet he wasn't J judging distance as of old and Bren- J nan's head kept swinging from side. to j s:de in a manner that made him an
a 4V v a. M l u , . v v v - ever, Dempsey pummeied the Cliicagoan unmercifully and there were times when it seemed that he surety must go down. At no time during the fight was Dempsey In distress. In the tenth round Dempsey's left ear was cut and bled profusely. In the eleventh Brennan opened a cut on h!s lip
srd made him look messy. But j wasn't hurt. If anything he was morfl j f.ggresive than ever and w hen he j i-snif out for the twelfth round he had i
;'i expression on his face that boded ill for poor Bill Brennan. He looked as if to say: "I have left this thing go toofar.
C"t to get in there and finish this bird j
ii?ht now." And lie u.d. A smashing left-hook to the stomach
started Brennan on his tour with tho, 1 ttle song birds. Then followed a terrific right over the heart that turned , B-enoan pale. But he was game. He' spread his let t and tried to stay u;. ' Dempsey had to cuff him divn and . he managed this with three rapidly ; delivered, hooks behind the left car. : The referee counted Brennan out. toll- j
lng off the "It." just as Bill tried to scramble to hi3 A moment or so later Biennar.. hav-
ing been revived in his corner, shamhl- ! fl across the ring and congratulated . his conqueror. As Brennun left the ! ring he was cheered to the echo by tho j big crowd. Dempsey followed him t in j
of the arena and the crowd gave him more booes than cheers. That was the sort of a. mood the crowd was tn. probably because it had been led to expect that Dempsey would display foni t uphold his reputation as the greatest of heavyweight champions, or be
cause it thought he let Brennan stay j
to get the- pictures. He -was rale where he Is usually
ruddy. He was hard as nails, it 1 true, but he did not look like the man ;
who won the battle of Maumee Bay. There is one thing turc and paste this in your hat: "William Harrison Pempsey will have
to be in better shape than he was lust ;
night and fight a much better figbt when he meets Georges Carpentlrr T he expects to live up to expectations. Carpentier. who i3 far and away su
perior to Brennan, would be a mean man for Dempsey to tackle were the j champion In no better fighting trim. or should we say mood, than hs was last night. j Dempsey still has youth oa his stele. J He is at the crest of his manhood and i
his showing last night should not bo taken as an indication that he is going back. There are several points to be advanced in defence of the champion. For one thing he had but one fight that with MIske between the time he defeated "Wiilard and the moment he s'eppfd into the ring with Brennan. And Miske failed to furnish him wttn better than pasteboard opposli$.n. Another thing: He had his title to take csre cf. He could not take chances of fouling Brennan when he had fifteen rounds in which to ditpose of his man. Lastly, this Brennan is one of the hardiest heavyweights prowling on "Dempsey's trail. He proved It by taking a beating that earned him the JU.OOO he received for his share of the "gate" and his courage and th way he carried the fight to Dempsey in the early rounds won him the lasting admiration of every one who saw the bout. Jess Wiilard challenged the winner
by wire. Jess Is already matched rvl'hj Dempsey for March 17. and they wi;i j 7 meet In the same rln in h!ch Demp- j
sey defeated Brennan. Ferhaps Dempey will show better championship form and be in better physical shape when he meets "Wiilard. It would hardly do for a wise champion to overlook any bets.
"TrK !CNAL NFS SERVICE LAWRENCE. KANS.. Dec. 15. "Dempsey don't look a tit tough to me." was the comment of Jess Wiilard. former heavyweight champion, when informed by the International News Service of Jack Dempsey's knockout victory over Bill Brennan. "Dempsey's victory suits me tine for I wanted one more crack at him. continued Jess, who will meet Dempsey March 17. in a 'come-back" attempt to win the heavyweight crown.
