getty, sometimes almost Indifferent
- Dempsey put up very medic
ere battle against the big boy from
Chicago. He won with room to
spare. it is true, but his victory
lacked the snap and the color be-
fitting the great Dempsey, pictured
as the most marvellous champion
the division had ever produced.
After this fight some thought
Brennan was allowed to stay for
the pictures. Manager Kearns de-
MED this. So did Dempsey. The
champion had no interest in the
pictures, it was said.
Dempsey In His Prime.
Accepting this theory there were
two other angles. Dempsey was
either badly over-trained for the
Brennan fight or he has started on
the down path.
Dempsey is just now in his
prime We do not believe that he
has started to go back. We do be-
lieve that he left the real Demp-
sey in the gymnasium when he
fought Brennan.
But what of the coming battles
with Carpenter and willard?
The Dempsey who met Bill Bren-
nan might fare badly against eth
er of these men-probably would,
Either of them might dethrone
him.
Jack Kearns tells us that "Demp-
sey was simply too finely trained
for the Brennan fight" and assures
us that he will be himself in fu-
ture. Let us hope so. No one,
speaking for the great majority,
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1921-02-26
would get thrin out Of a willard

would get a thrill out Of a willard
victory. And no one wants to see
tho heavyweight title carried away
to Europe by Georges Carpenter
or anyone else. Dempsey is still
a popular champion, and though
his showing against Brennan may
have been great disappointment
to thousands of fight fans who did
not see the battle, it can be said in
all honesty that he was far, from
himself. In his next battle he
should be able to offset any unfa-
vorable impression that still lin
gers in the mind of the public.
Should Defeat willard.
Dempsey should defeat Willard,
perhaps not so easily as he did at
Toledo - for the big Kansan has
learned a lesson he will remember
- but Jack should win. And Jack
can go the route. The Brennan
fight, if it did nothing else, proved
this fact. Furthermore. he seemed
to get stronger as he went along.
Another very good sign that he is
not retrogressing.
Carpenter, lightning fast. dam

Shortly before 1920 faded into
the vistas of history Dempsey dis
played himself in Madison Square
garden for the first time since he
became champion. Opposed to him
was Bill Brennan, sturdy Chicago
heavyweight. And Bill put up the
fight of his life against the title
holder. 1t took twelve rounds for
Dempsey to dispose of big Bill.
The fistic public was amazed. Two
years previous Dempsey had
knocked Brennan out in 6 rounds.
What was the matter with Demp-
sey, the champion?
The writer saw Dempsey defeat
Brennan. The Dempsey of that
night was not the Dempsey of a
year or of eighteen months previ-
