TWO FEASTS FOR
THE FIGHT FANS
(By United Press)
BY l.. r. BLANCHARD


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent,
NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Two prize
fights scheduled here for October,
tasty as they may be, can be regarded
chiefly as apeptizers. They will whet
pugilistic appetites for the possible
Dempsey Carpenter championship
fight next year.
The. first is the Jack Dempsey Bill
Brenan scrap in Madison Square
Garden under the overseeing eye of
Tex Richard. The other will be the
Georges Carpenter Battling Levins-
ky fracas in Brooklyn October II.
Dempsey naturally shows up as the
big favorite in the proposed bout
with Brennan, both because of his re-
cent triumph over Billy Miske and
because in 1918 he flattened Brennan
in the sixth round, Bill withdrawing
from the fight because of a broken
ankle. Brennan was floored several
times in the fight, but processes to
believe that Dempsey cannot put him
out. He also figures that by retain
ling his consciousness for six rounds
he will have so tired the champion
that Jack cannot go through to win.
Reports that Dempsey's boxing has
improved have not worried Bill.
No one has q real line on Levins
ky's prospects against Carpenter, but
the American generally is rated as
second best. This is because Levins-
Iy has not shown that he lugs a
punch. He is bear on defense, how
ever, and Carpenters ability to get
through that guard will show what
Dempsey has to face.

= press as to "How old is John?"
Old "Uncle" Johnny Shell, the
Kentucky mountaineer, who paid visit to
the Kentucky State Fair at Louisville last
fall, has become famous over night as q
result of this controversy.
Such papers as the "New York
Herald" the Literary Digest" and other
periodicals of national circulation, have
printed his picture, with comments on the
question at issue.
So much interest has been shown in
the matter, that special investigator was
sent to Greasy Creek, Kentucky, by The
Chattanooga Medicine Company (whose
medicine-Thedford Black-Draught Liver
Medicine-had been used in the Shell fam
lily for many years. in order to get more
information on the subject.
The Investigators report is given on an.
other column of this page. The result Of
this investigation seems to show, on tes-
timony of friends and neighbors, that John
Shell is about 112 years old, that his health
is good for man of his age, and that
his mind is clearer than that of the
