Brennan Brave
ln Face Of Bout
With Dempsey
Challenger Is Confident of
Staying Up on His Feet
for Limit Tuesday Night
By w. O. McGeehan

Jack Dempsey Will give the second
demon tration since w.nring the cham
pionship at Madison Square Gaycen
Tuesday night. The victim picked for
the exhibition is Bill Brennan, wno
has experienced the sensation Of being
storped by the Dempsey rush some
time previous. Brennan is being ! d
to the sacrifice by the eloquent Hon.
Leo ?. Flynn and the promise OF S55.-
COO to be placed in his mitt the moment
he RECEIVERS consciousness.
The fact that Mr.. Dempsey is par
ticipating in the evenings festiviti s
makes it heavyweight championship
bout, and a heavyweight chamDionsiip
bout always is 4 magnet. This one is
drawing about as extensive a collec
tion Of experts as did the Dempsey
Willard bout at Toledo. The Boxing
Commission limited tie price of adnlis-
something like a $500 300 house.
The receipts will have to be fairly
big, for while the victim gets the So
900 bit TIE champion receives the
modest sum Of 100000. These sums
are to be paid out win, lose or draw.
Withhold Name Of Referee
In order that here will he TO
shadow Of suspicion, no blush of shame
or anything like that about the bout
the Boxing Commission Will no. name
the referee and the judges until the
night of the bout. This is to 60 away
with the runors that there might be
some betting on the round in which
the bout would finish.
Though the men are heavyweights
and their tonnage means nothing IN
anybody's life they Will weigh in at
o'clock Tuesday afternoon to conform
mi M,
will have time to take a farewell waliz
and mediate until the bell rin~s. The
doomed man is said to be bearing Up
as well as could be expected and it is
believed that he will face the orleDl
without culver. The Hon. Leo ?.
Flynn is telling the world that he Wi !
be in the ring on time.
The customary deGaNces have heen
rivan out. According to the Hon leo
P. Flynn, Mr.. Brennan rs asserted
time ard again: "Jack Demrsey is
/ the ore Guy I can lick. TNere may b.
+ others who can fatten me. but not
Dempsey"
, Mr.. Brcnnan cxp,ains tNat the only
reason he did not drop Dempsey the
frst time they net was that he
snrained his arkle sitting down in ,the
ring 1t is unusual for boxers to sit
down in the rirg unless chinped on
the chin. but Mr.. Brennan is bit
eccentric.
Dempsey is reticent with the Demp-
sey rcticence, but Jack Kearns. who
can be induced to talk now and then,
declares that Dempsey will make tie
bout as fast as possible Brt It viii
lave to last at least ten seconds, be-
cause the Qrcensbcrry rules REQUIRE
shat the referee count that many times
and the referees, being metAcd.cal
mathcmaticians, cannot make it any
shorter.
Norfolk to Box Tate
There will be ether fstic enter
tanment en- the card Perhaps t. e
most notable number on TIE hin VII
/ be the bout between Big Bill Tate and
Kid Norfolk. These two are gents Of
color and are said to be bitter bust
ness rivals. Moreover, they will be
battling for diamond studded belt,
i which, according to Ike Dorgan, con-
tains real stones and not a bit Of cat
glass in the whole thing
Charlie Weinort the Newark heavy
weight. who has been out Of the ring
for some time, will stage comeback
with Bartey Madden, conqueror Of
Jim Con'ey, the Roscommon mctornan
heavyweight. Weinert used to SHOW
considerable promise and has a bright
ring future behind him.
The preliminary viii be a middle
weight bout between Marty Farrell, a
sparrirg partner of Dempsey, and
| frankie Mcguire. Jack Mesrns thinks
that Farrell has championship material
in him. Maybe he has; TIE current
middlewoigat crop is member OF the
| cheese family.
