Titleholder's Showing Is
Far Below Form That
Gave Him Victory
Over Willard.
14,OOO SEE KEEN CONTEST
Crowd Surprised at Challeng-
ers Courage and DisappOint-
ed in Champions Ineffec-
tiveness in Early Rounds.

Jack Dempsey, the heavyweight
champion of the world fulfilled the
expectations of the boxing enthusiasts
Of New York who Jammed Madison
Square Garden to its capacity last
night by knocking out Bill Brennan
Of Chicago in the twelfth round of a
contest in which the title holder re-
ceived the hardest battle OF his career.
The general belief that Dempsey would
dispose Of Brennan in three or four
rounds was not realized. And the ag-
Sressive and courageous fight made by
the challenger not only reflected the
greatest credit on Brennan but aroused
the highest admiration on the part of
the thousands who witnessed the COM
bat.
TO the astonishment of the onlook-
ers Brennan carried the fight to the
champion from the first round up to
the tenth session, and while he was in
q weakened condition In the two clos
ing rounds yet he fought with desper-
ate energy. At the beginning OF the
twelfth round it looked very much as
though Brennan would last the limit.
Had he done so it would have been the
first time in many years that any op-
ponent had survived Dempsey's pun
ishing blows for the complete schedule
Of rounds of the contest.
Brennan not only showed the abilit,
70 asslmilate punishment--as he re-
ceved terrific punishment in nearly
every round-but in addition he inflicted
more damage on the champion thar
Dempsey has received in any bout since
that in which he was stopped In thC
first round by the veteran Jim Flynn
Brennan's shots to Dempsey's face not
only cut the champions mouth, bringing
blood in profusion, but the challenger
also assailed Dempsey's left ear with a
vlgor that caused that organ to bleed
also.
Dempsey staggered Brennan several
Times during the twelve rounds and the
C,hicagoan seemed on the verge or a
knockou on two or three occasions, but
with logged courage he weathered the
storm of blows and while wabbly at the
close OF the several rounds he man
aged to respond to the bell for the next
session with praisewOrthy aggressive
ness.

Knockout a Surprise.

The knockout came as surprise early
in the twelfth round. Brennan seemed
10 be holding his own In the exchanges
that marked the opening Of the round.
The contestants were In neutral corner
exchanging blows at close quarters when
suddenly Dempsey cut loose with a left
hook that landed solidly In the pit of
Brennan's stomach. The giant Chicagoan
doubled like jackknife, his head falling
nearly TO his knees, but he spread his
feet and did not go to the canvas There
was nothing for Dempsey to do but
strike again which he did with a swing
ing right hand punch that landed on the
left side of Brennan's face and knocked
him to the floor in crumpled heap.
Referee Hoakup counted ten over the
prostrated form of the challenger. after
which the seconds of Brennan carried
him to his corner. lie revived quickly
under the treatment and was able in
few minutes to rise and walk to the CEN
tire of the ring, where he was met by
Dempsey. Victor and vanquished shook
hands after which both left the ring and
the great throng then melted out OF the
Garden.
Dempsey's performance was serious
disappointment to those who had seen
him bring down the huge Willard at
Toledo and who knew of his quick con-
quest over many other notable heavy
weights. The champions form was fully
25 per cent. below that which he showed
in the battle at Maunee Bay. His judg-
ment of distance was bad and even when
he landed on the mark his blows seemed
to lack effectiveness.
In only one respect did he surprise
those who witnessed the bout. II had
been freely asserted that Dempsey was
a three round fighter and could not
travel distance. Not only did he show
that he had the endurance for long
nghts but as n matter of fact he inn
proved in speed and force with every
succeeding round. He was stronger and
moro active In the twelfth round than 4.

fact that he had received more punish

The only discordant feature of the
cons>st was the tendency of Brennan

Gained nothing by these tactics, for
while he held one OF Dempsey's gloves
the champion pummelled him with the
other. Although Dempsey was severely
cut by Brennan's blows, with resultant
flow OF blood. yet he exhibited no weari-
ness at any stage OF the contest.
