Spitball Pitchers Safe.
OF particular interest to the fan was
the decision of the club owners in
favor Of allowing the registered spit
ball pitchers of the league to con-
tinue until the end of their major
league careers. A year ago IT was
decided that spitball pitching would
be under the ban after the 1920 sea-
son, the American League passing a
concurrent vote on the proposition at
a joint meeting. Six Of the eight
National League clubs yesterday voted
to recommend to the new advisory
board, created under the new agree
ment, that these pitchers be allowed
to use the spitball.
The American League will vote on
the same proposition at it's meeting
here on Friday. and If the decision is

was counting ten, Brennan rose. pitch

and stood dazed. The referee threw
up his hands, and Dempsey striding

Frenchman's Stock Rises.
What would Jack do against a
clever fighter. a man who could keep
him off with straight arm jabs? Every
one is asking this question today.
Wherever you turn you feel that
Carpenters stock has taken a rise.
For the dope IS that the Frenchman
will be clever enough to avoid lot
of Dempsey's blows. But will he be
able to stand the fearful effect of the
blows he does receive? That's the
big question.
Brennan's ability to take punish
ment made Jacks wallops seem easier
than they really were. But up to the
fourth round, the comments all around
were that Dempsey was not trying
to night; 1t certainly looked that way.
He kept coming all the time, but
there seemed wraps on his punches

exchanging short arm blows, and this
was the case up to the eighth round

in all, Dempsey probably has lost a

nights showing.

that he had beaten the count in the

Dempsey said: Brennan was

up longer than thought he would.
His blows didn't hurt me at any time,
but found him a hard man to hit
properly" Dempsey's manager said
the champion was not in the best of
condition, having trained too hard.
Dempsey expects to leave for the

READY FOR CO
Williams and Ledoux Will Be
Meeting for Third Time in Clash
Tomorrow Night.

Kid Williams, former world cham
pion bantam, and Charley Ledoux, Eu-
ropean bantamweight title holder
are expected to provide an interesting
entertainment when they meet in the
ring at 5th Regiment armory. in Bal
timore, tomorrow night. The fight
ers have completed a heavy training
program and each is reported to be in
first class condition. The bout. SEIZED
uled for fifteen rounds, is to be held
under the auspices of the American
Athletic Association.
Iedoux, who is twenty-nine years
old, will be meeting Williams for the
third time. They fought out on the
coast back in 1918. and the Baltimore
Tiger scored a Knockout in the fif-
teenth round They also met in Il
six-round no-decision fight the pre-
vious year. The men are to weigh in
at 100 pounds, ringside. Ledoux late
ly has been putting away his oppo-
nents by the Knockout route, and
critics who have seen the Frenchman
in action in recent scraps predict
Williams will have a real battle on
his hands.
Ledoux, by the way. has fought
Georges, Carpenter. The bout took
place about seven years ago at the
Cirque de Paris. before Georges had
risen to fame. The fight was at fif-
teen rounds, and Carpenter was
awarded the decision.

And SO. as round after round went
on. with Bill still sticking and doing
. lot of hitting. amusement grew.
All about town one hears various
theries from men well qualified to
give judgment. Some say that the
mving picture element entered and
that Dempsey permitted Brennan to
recuperate firm blows in early rounds
when he might have. finished him.
DenDsey In Cautious.
That may be so. but personally the
writer doubts 1t. 1t should be borne
in mind that Dempsey went into the
ring last night with everything to
lose and not much in the way OF rep
utation to gain. In previous battles
it was just the other way round.
Jack could afford to go in and take
a chance. Last night he was facing
a tough guy. a big strong man. able
to take all sorts of punishment and
with a wallop that might prove dan
gerous. Sure that he would get him
sooner or later. he bided his time and
when the opening came he shot in
the goodnight punches.
A lot of sportsmen hold this view.
IL only to give credit to the game
and the skilful battle that Brennan
put UP, and he did put up a great
fight. When, in the ninth round.
after receiving lot OF fearful pun
ishment in the seventh and eighth
frames, he came back and fought
Dempsey to a standstill. cutting his
lips. so that his mouth filled with
blood and cracking his ear, the crowd
stood up on the chairs and went
wild.
Dempsey came back strong in the
tenth and had Brennan holding to
save himself. but in the eleventh the
Chicago fighter got an even break.
The spectators did not realize when
he came out for the twelfth that the
body blows that Dempsey had rained
upon him throughout the fight. and
the short arm jolts to the jaw. had
taken toll of his strength. but. of
course. thew had. Anyway. Bill looked
strong and rugged and dangerous as
they squared Off for what proved to
be the last act. About. a minute and
sixty seconds Of the round had passed
when Dempsey sprang in and caught
Brennan under the heart with a left
hook. 1t came like lightning. The
Chicagoan began to slump in the
middle. The champion brought the
righttto the body. and then as Bren-
nan slid to the floor he cracked him
hehind the ear. With the strong
acetylene lights elistening upon his
bleeding face. his ewes glazed. he
crouched swsyinS upon hands and
knees. the nsscres counting over him.
