The Anvil Chorus.
Tho anvil chorus from '"rrovatore"
has nothing on the ding dong that
has been raised over Jack Dempsey
since his fight with Brennan. Last
this week he is the dub. Personally,
watching Dempsey closely, we saw
him reach out his left arm, touch
Brennan on the body and saw the
big husky fellow fall to the floor,
his eyes glazed. his face drawn in
pain And it struck US that a man
who could reach out his left after
eleven hard rounds and touch q man
under the ribs and have that man
drop as though he had been shot
must have an extremely wicked hand.
a poison hand. so to speak.
strikes me that most of the ham,
mer W1aiders are men who put them
selves on record before the fight
that Brennan would not last three
roundA Gee. You never saw critics
