The Washington times., 1918-02-26

Dempsey's showing was, in a way,
even more remarkable. Though Bren-
nan is not a first-cIass heavyweight,
yet he Is good enough for most in
his class. He was a child against
Dempsey. In the second round the
Coast boxer dropped Brennan four
times and only the bell prevented a
knockout being registered.
Brennan managed to weather the
third, fourth, and fifth, but in the
sixth his strength was gone and he
was helpless before the murderous
beating Dempsey was giving him.
The referee stopped the bout to save
Brennan from possible injury.
