Those Double Fives Are
Mournful Numbers
Throws EN- Too Fast
for a Man to Count

Miske buzzes that he is all set TO
pull and haul with Dempsey Bren-
nan is also primed to shake with
Jack, break, and use the canvas for
a blanket and the sponge for a pill
low. The last time Brennan thought
he was fighting Dempsey, Jack
picked one off the floor and laid Ii
down reverently on Brennan's head.
The sock broke Bill's ankle.
Brennan's ankle is now better,
but II seems that his head never
recovered. Bill will grab a flock
OF grands for pulling the clay
pigeon stuff for fifteen rounds. but
the money is like life insurance
think a guy who ever met Dempsey
would think twice before going to
sleep on the tracks again.
OUGHT TO THINK TWICE.
'stoo many. He oughtn't to think
twice. Ought to think only once.
and then light out for some foreign
strand that has no extradition
treaty with these star spangled
States of equal suffrage and daily
amendments.
Willard is another yazoo who lis
tened to papa's knuckle lullaby and
return shindig. Tommy Upton is a
gourmand for challenges, but it's
Tommy's boats that take the beat
ings. Not Tommy. II yachts were
gloves, Tommy wouldn't build more
than one set.
Carpenter had a yen to meet a
large cash bonus first and Dempsey
second. When Georges piped Demp-
sey's back muscles, he proceeded to
show America his own. Fulton is
the only biscuit that stayed cooked
He doesn't want to high dice again
with a bimbo who throws so many
double fives in habit-forming guam
titles.
IS HIS ONLY FAULT.
That's Dempsey's only fault. He
Will throw those double fives. And
two eight-ounce gloves amt much
protection on a set Of anvil mitts
It's like drinking wood alcohol out
OF a lily cup. Brennan may fight
Jack again but you know that BiIl's
heart won't be in the ring. II IT is,
it will be only because he has 1t
firmly laced up inside one of his
shoes.
Miske gave Bob Edgren the low
down on Dempsey after apparently
pulling and hauling eight rounds
with him in the Middle West. There
must have been more pulling than
hauling, because Miske refused to
ever box Jack a six-round exhibit
ton for war charity. The Miske
boy wouldn't even step into the
ring with Dempsey. He wouldn't
even think about being in the ring
with Jack. When Bob thinks of
himself and Dempsey, it's always in
two separate rings.
Can't blame him much, when you
are high throwing with a boy who
doesn't throw anything lighter than
double fives.
