BRENNAN'S IDEAS
REFEREE STOPPED FIGHT.

Dempsey is a wide-open fighter. That's the type I like. Dempsey rushes and I like rushers. I'm not saying Demp- sey is made to order for me. But he certainly has style of fighting that like to go against.
 Dempsey did whip me in 191S-that's true. But there isn't an awful lot of glory attached to that vcitory. don't say that in an effort to take away credit from Dempsey, but because it's plain statement of fact I gave Dempgey the toughest fight he ever had. He'll admit that frankly. I hit him and damaged him considerably. I had him nightly worried in a couple of rounds. He land ed on me with his famous left and equally famous right and he couldn't put me away That shows that I can take about everything that Dempsey can pass out.
 Dempsey won from me on a technical knockout. That is because the referee stopped the fight somewhere along the sixth round. I was in a bad way then but there was a. big reason for it. l had broken an ankle in one of the ear Her rounds. I tried not to let Dempsey or anyone else know about it, figuring could get away with 1t and maybe win the fight anyway. But Dempsey kept rushing me, I couldn't get out of his way, and he beat me up
 This time there'll be no broken ankle for me at least. I don't figure that Dempsey is very much tougher than he was in 1918, and I know that have im- proved quite little bit I hit straighter and harder. I have been toughened up lot and can take more punishment than ever before. Everyone tells me I am faster and display more ring science. That being true. I think that when I go into the ring am going to have some thing of an edge on the champion.
 ''As the time for the fight hears and get chance at the championship, I am supremely confident that when the battle is over there will be flashed to the world the news that Jack Dempsey has been beaten-and that Bill Brennan is the new champion of the fistic world" Copyright, 1920, by King Features Sym

Bill Brennan Is
 Confident of a
 Win Ouer Jack
By JAMEs J. coRBETT

Taps has sounded over the training camps of Jack Dempsey and Bill Brennan
 Both gladiators are in tip-top condition for the battle on Tuesday night, which ranks as the most important heavy weight clash staged in New York for many years. Beyond the meeting in -916, involving Jess Willard and Frank Moran, no such fistic tidbit has been served up to fandom since the days of the Horton law.
 Dempsey Is supremely confident of vic tory-but anticipates hard fight The rank and file of fandom are with him IT his thoughts of victory, but only q rare few feel that Brennan will last more than six rounds.
 If the champion ever socks Brennan with that awful righthand body punch, goodnight for Bill very shortly after ward" is the concensus of opinion. Brennan may be able to take them on the jaw and still stick around. But no man lives who can take one of Demp- seys smashes against the heart and con- tiEue to be enthusiastic about further fighting"
 I BRENNAN'S IDEAS
 Brennan has contrary views. He feels that he will win. His attitude is not one of fake confidence. There is sin cerity and extreme hopefulness involved in his ideas.
 'I know Dempsey is a mighty tough citizen and a great two-fisted fighter declares Brennan, ''but every man can be knocked down and out if he is hit hard enough I have demonstrated in something like 50 fights that if I land properly I can put man tc sleep. see no reason why I cannot hit Demp- sey nor any reason why Dempsey should be harder to hit than anybody else. His jaw is just as vulnerable and so is his body, as most of the men I have fought.
