Pacific Coast Heavyweight
Puts Opponent Away in
the Sixth Round.

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 26.-Jack
Dempsey. the san Francisco heavy
weight. won from Bill Brennan here
last night in the sixth round Of what
was to have been a ten round bout.
The referee stopped the bout to save
Brennan from a Knockout.
Dempsey had the advantage from
the start. He floored Brennan four
times in the second round and the
Chicago man was saved a probable
knockout by the bell in the fourth
round The Californian had a shift
that Brennan seemed unable to
fathom. Dempsey was equally clever
with either hand and landed at will
with lightning rapidity which seemed
to mystify the Chicagoan-
IN the sixth round Dempsey landed
a shower Of let's and rights to the
body and jaw. stiff right to the
chin causing Brennan to take the
count of nine Brennan was game
but when the referee saw his case
was hopeless and that Dempsey was
on the verge Of landing a real knock

The men fought at catchweights,

But this is what happened to the

Dragging along like a team of broken

More Than Salary Cuts.
Some folks have whispered that
wholesale salary reductions as a re-

pep out of the Dodgers. and II Is 2
certainty that Ebbets's action in trim
ming the payroll did not lend any fire
10 the ambitions Of the 1917 team.
But tnat wasn't all, by a long shot.
LOT the Dodgers just sort Of collapsed.

sucn good work in 1916 was like

However, Uncle Wnbert Robin

FOUGHT A CHAMPION 20 ROUNDS
Many young boxers Of champion
ship caliber have been ruined by be-
ing forced at too rapid a gait. and
Eddie Hanlon was notable example
Of this sort Of bad management. It
was Is years ago today that Hanlon
fought 20 rounds TO a draw with
Young Corbett, then the feather
weight champion OF the world, in san
Francisco. The Californian was a
mere schoolbOy, 16 years old, when he
met the leader Of the featherweight
division, a fighter Of long experience
who had won premier honors by
whipping Terrible Terry" McGov-
ern- That a mere lad. novice at the
game, could hold his own in a grill
ling 20 round battle with such a
fighter as Young Corbett was con-
sidered, and rightly, a remarkable
showing. Had some good man taken
hold Of Hanlon at that time he would
almost certainly have become the
worlds lightweight champion. Late in
the same year. 1903, they fought
again, and this time the Denverite
had IL ali his own way. Hanlon, who
had never been knocked down during
his pyrotechnic ring career, was com
pletely at Young Corbett's mercy.
Eddie's seconds begged him to quit.
but he would have been killed rather
than do that, and the slaughter went
on until the 18th round Hanlon was
then unable to defend himself and
Young Corbett, plying his game foe.

was declared victor. Two years latef
