PosTs of the American lie

PosTs of the American Le-

instituted in every city and

Der of members can be OBJ
tanned to support such an or
ganization. In some locali-
ties difficulty is encountered
BY reason Of unawakened in
terest, preoccupation, or abb
sence Of prospective members
from the jurisdiction of their
post. However, it must be
only a question of time when
all doubt and hesitation will
disappear and all ex-service
men will be affiliated with the
organization. The welfare of
the organization and of the
men themselves points to this
conclusion. 1t is not unrea-
sonable to presume that soon
posts of the American Legion
will be flourishing wherever
enough ex-service men reside
to maintain them.

CHAMP TO BE
EASY FAVORITE
OVER BRENNAN
Physically, Big Fellows Stack
Up Even, but Dempsey
Carries the WallOp.
BY Jack VEIOCK,


international News Sports Editor.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Jack Dempsey
and Bill Brennan, who meet In a fifteen
round decision bout at Madison Square
Garden a week from tomorrow night, are
the most evenly matched fighters from a
physical standpoint who ever squared
away for a championship battle.
Both are rugged. big-boned and Won
derfully muscled. Dempsey stands feet
y inch; Brennan towers to the same
height. The champion weighs 1SS to 100
pounds in fighting trim. while the Chi
cago boy scales 100 in condition.
Dempsey has reach Of seventy eight
inches. Brennan's reach Is one inch
shorter. In almost all other measure
ments from chest expansion of forty-fiv
I inches to eight and one alf-inch ankles,
the rivals are n stand-Of for each other.
The measurement Of fighting ability,
however. gives Dempsey decided advan-
tage. Two years ago. in Milwaukee. the
cyclonic lad from Salt Lake knocked
Brennan out in five rounds. That was
before he was champion and since that
time he has improved 10 a marked de-
gree. though he was close to his top
form nearly year before he met Jess
Willard
Next Tuesday q week Brennan will get
his chance to retalate. Like Dempsey.
he is an improved fighter and he be-
a
birds with one well-timed punch-get
even with Dempsey and annex the worlds
championship
As a big majority of fstic followers
fail TO coincide with Brennan in this be
lief, Champion Dempsey VIII go into the
ring a heavy favOrite. But Brennan has
q ,chance-the chance Of any fighter has
Of slipping over an unexpected punch.
The rival helvyweights settled down
to a week Of real work today. Both
worked out before big crowds at their
training quarters and from now till next
Sunday they will keep at 1t hammer aud
tongs.
Tex Richard predicts that the bout will
draw a record house. A gate OF $500, 900
will not surprise the promoter.
Tickets for the fight viii range from
s. to S25 and the New York State Box
Ing Commission, in conjunction with

Sensational Game Won
by COngerviIle in Big
Battle With Gas City

GAS CITY, Ind, Dec. 6.--Before u
crowd Of 1900 football fans the Conger-
vile Flyers football team Of Muncie de-
feated the Gas City Tigers here yester-
day by the score Of Is to Z. IL was the
second time this year that Gas City has
been defeated, having lost to the Flyers
on Thanksgiving day.
Both teams had strengthened" their
line-ups for vel terday's battle and the
game the most sensational ever seen
in this city.
There was little to choose between the
teams In weight and they battled on
even terms until near the end Of tho
secORd period. The defense was so strong
that few gains were made. Then Weaver,
standing as If to kick a ball from n
punt formation, started around Muncie'E
left end. He cut back and tackler after
tackler failed to cling to the Gas City
giant. Big Weaver covered eight yards,
throwing off man after man and crossed
goal.
A blocked punt was recovered by Full
ton, the Flyers star guard, on Gas City's
fYe-y8rd line soon after the third Pc
Rod opened. CoOney Checkeye circled
the Gas City end for four yards. Huffne
tried three time before he could carry the
the bali through for a touchdown and
Checkeye kicked the goal.
The break" that won the game came
late I'm the last period. Mickey Hole,
left half back for Muncie, twisted his
yards in returning a punt and scored
the touchdown that won the game A
few minutes later he again made a sen
sational flfty-yaTd run in returning q
punt. but was tackled by Reno on the
twenty-yard line.
