DEMPSEY HACKERS
GET HUGE SCARE

sus 70 Fut Away Brennan Until
Twelfth Round-Either "0oino
Back" or Brennan 10 Better Man
Than Fight Experts Gave Him
Credit For Being.
New York. Dec. 15.--Jack Dempsey
pulled out OF the fire last night, Bill
Brennan. of Chicago. had gone eleven
rounds and half with the worlds
champion and was giving him q
whale Of a fight. Then Dempsey
clipped him suddenly just an they
split out OF a clinch with a wicked
left hook to the heart. Bill bent over
In pain. but did not fall. Jack raw
ne had him, and swing q right to the
head and brennan crunpled up In the
rosin.
Johnny Haukop, the referee from
BROOKLYN. counted ten on Bill before
hs could get up. He arose a second
or 90 too late and almost fell thru
the ropes before the referee and
Dempsey grabbed him. It was q
great light. full OF thrills, and the
biggest surprise Nat has happened
In boxing in years. Brennan was
good enough to have chance, right
up until he got that heart punch, and
the Dempsey corner men were scared
stif. Jack survived and won, but he
won't be an overwhelming favorite
the next time he starts.
E Something nust have been the
m wi h oil, u
Is much better than everybody i'm
asined. Perhaps it's good thing for
Dempsey that Harry Willis, or even
Jess Willard. was not his foe on this
occasion.
iome $4,000 people. including nu-
merous well known sporting charac-
ters. tammed into Madison Square
Garden to see the fights. Not all of
them came to see Dempsey and Bren-
nan.
Tom Jones said that the receipts
were 100000. Others said 5000, 600.
Ringside seats sold for $25, and It
took five smackers to get in the top
balcony.
Brennan and Dempsey weighed for
the boxing commission In the Garden
at 2 o'clock. Jack did 1873 and a frac-
ton, while Brennan was high enough
in flesh to scale 1877.
Just before the first fight started a
telegram from Jess Willard reached
the ringside. The Kansas sunflower
challenged the winner. Naturally he
figured said winner would be Demp-
sey. Jess wants to get even for the
Toledo disaster. He probably never
will, but he's going to try in the
Garden the night Of March II.

THE FARMER DEMANDS
RELIEF

Relief for the farmer, pending the re-
turn OF the entire country TO normal
cost basis, will be one OF the important
questions before congress when 1t meets
.nsxt week. The American farmer raised
hts grain. cattle and hogs IN l9-o ~
peak costs. Then. when selling time ar
rived. the prices Of all his products
dropped 80 low that his profits were
wiped OUT and he was left faciiS DIG
loss. The consumer has not received the
proportionate benefit OF these reductions
NOR has there been a corresponding drop
in the prices Of what the farmer has TO
buy.
The farmer is mad and he has good
cause 70 be. Unless he can get reLiet' ne

so that they will bring fair prices. rms

Conferences are now in progress IN
Washington between leaders OF the
house and senate and representatives. oil
. several big farm organizations.
e Blame Tor Il large part Of his financial
? trouble is placed by the farmer 1t the
door OF the federal reserve board. 1t Is
claimed that the board virtually forced
. low prices for farm products BY its de-
J nation program and then refused farm
credits.
Some Of the proposals being consid-
. cred are: ~
, Revival Of the war finance corpora
'tion; extension OF credits TO Germany
as a means OF aSording a market in that
f, country for our surplus food and raw
I materials: placing a tariff on Canadian

I 1t is not believed possible to pass n

the proposition would be certain 10 bring
up the entire tariff question. Also. it IS
considered certain that President Wilson

probable that q tax could be placed on
futures without long fight. The best
possibilities Of prompt remedial action
seem TO lie with the revival OF the war
