Lited in Lase of Sport Kings Brennan Stood at Crossroads When He Met Rodel in 1916 Question of Making Good or Going Back to
Steel Trade To Stay He Made Good
By FRAWK O. MEXKB Every person who has achieved fame in his particular branch of endeavour, has encountered the one crucial hurdle in his life, a hurdle
yon will be getting a crack at the
championship and maybe you will crack the champion right into the
discard.' "
Flynn called the turn part of It
Brennan got a crack at the cbampion-
which. if taken, ir.eant success; if un-ifnip jn 1920 but failed, only after a
taken, meant defeat and' the end 01 the road. Bill Brennan faced such a hurdle in 1916 when he was tossed into the ring with Boer Rodel. as tough and rough a customer as ever swapped punches
in a prize ring
Brennan had come out of Chicago
only a few weeks before and gone under the management of Leo P. Flynn. He knew that if he could show something worth while Flynn, with his connection, could launch him on a mighty lucrative career. Bill likewise realized that if he failed, it was back to the "bushes" for him back to the sheet metal workers trade. Stanton Battle Helped. "The inaugural battle I won against Ell Stanton helped a little to impress Flynn but I knew that the fight
wasn't the real test," related Bren
nan. "Stanton was only a fairish sort of fellow, and was little more than a fourth rate. But Rodel that wa3
something entirely different. "The Boer had fought some of our best men. Ke hadn't whipped 'em all, but he certainly demonstrated that he was no slouch. He had gone ten rounds with Willard, Just before Jess won the championship, had fought along with some of the other satellites and was, all things considered, near the top among the second raters. "And, at the time, I was just a rovice." "When I scrambled through the ropes that night I knew I Lad to stop the Boer if I ever wanted to accomplish anything in a sporting way. And the stopping business 6ized up like a rather big job. For the Boer in addition to being quite a fair stopper himself, was a glutton for punishment. Receives Telling Blow.
ve had just about gotten under way when the Boer lifted one off the
floor and tried to plant it on my chin. I was lucky enough to duck the chin
out of the way, but the old pile driver landed on my head, just above my
forehead. It split the skin for about
three inches and the blood began to stream down so much that it half blinded me. I had to do a lot of fighting, therefore, sort of in the dark. "The Boer later popped one on my nose and that started to bleed. Then he paced one on my mouth and blood came from there. Yes, sir, yes sir, I was a gory looking bird before the fourth round ended but I kept fight ing the only fight that I then knew. And that wasvto keep tearing right into him, taking everything he had, for the chance to land one or two on his jaw. "But, for awhile, the Boer kept out of my way. And all the while be was jabbing, jabbing. Most of them landed, too and on my nose. No the Boer didn't give me the nose I wear now. No fighter did that. My nose was broken years before in a ball game with kids. I was catching. The batter hit the ball and then threw his bat It swung around and landed on the
bridge of my nose. The result is
evident to anyone who looks closely at
the nose. Could Take Punishment
"Well, the Boer and I kept a-going
through the fifth and sixth, with the Boer trying with every thing he had
to drop me. But it couldn t be done. I wasn't much on ring science in those days but I certainly could take a socking. And I took one don't ever doubt that I guess it looked to the crowd as if the Boer was murdering me, from the way the blood rushed down my head, nose and mouth. And pome persons yelled to the referee to stop the battle. "But I motioned that I was all right I guess that sort of took the heart out of the Boer. He must have decided about that time that he'd have to use a crow bar to drop me and the rules in those days barred crow bars. So he decided to conserve himself and win the battle on a popular decision. "When I saw him easing up, I tore in. I went with both fists flying Then I set fnyself and let fly a long one for the chin. I landed and the Boer went down and the referee count
ed him out as I stood over him blood from head to waist, probably as awful a looking victor as the prize ring ever saw. Leo Is Converted. "After the fight, Leo came to me and said: " 'Even irVou do come from Chicago you seem to be able to do some fighting. Winning over the Boer just about makes you. Now I will go out and get you other fights, work you along nicely nnd in a few years
great showing. He is to get another
perhaps on Labor Day. And Bren
nan says:
"The last time I fought Dempsey I
stepped into one of those terrific body
punches in the twelfth round because j receiving.

How They Stand j
ners when the champion was preparing for his bout with Georges Carpentier. Burke says he now is ready to tackle Brennan, Fulton, Mlske, Gibbons or any other top-notch heavyweight, but he prefers to take on Brennan.
Burke has had plenty of experience, but his light weight was a big handicap to him. Recently he has filled out considerably and now is sturdy enough to tackle any of the big fellows. After taking Dempsey's wallops for several weeks Burke thinks he is fully capable of assimilating anything that may come his way in bouts with other heavies. The New Orleans candidate for heavyweight honors is 23 years old, stands 6 feet 3 inches and weighs 175 pounds in fighting condition. He is
a very clever boxer and faster than most of the big fellows.

Unseated champions have tried
hard in years gone by to retrieve lost
laurels, but only four have succeeded.
The late Stanley Ketchel, once emir of middleweightdom, was knocked off
bis throne by Billy Papke, but came
back and knocked Billy off again.
Jack Brittoa and Kid Lewis have al
ternated in ruling the land of wel
ters. Herman is the fourth exception.
On the other hand many great
champions who lost their titles made valiant but vain efforts to win them
back. Most notable among these
were Terry McGovern, who failed to
dethrone Young Corbett and Jim Cor-
bett, who bowed to Jim Jeffries.
