Before Dempsey became champion
he met Brennan in Wisconsin and
stopped the Flynn star In six rounds
II was the frst time Bill had even
been knocked out. and was a terrinc
surprise to Flynn.
II is my opinion that Brennan is a
much better fighter than he has ever
received credit for being. IL is Also
my opinion that Dempsey underestt-
mated Bill because OF his quick dis
posal Of him in their first battle.
The Dempsey camp claims Dempsey
was over trained and stale when he
met Bill the second time. II Is my
belief that Dempsey was not trained
enough.
He had moved to New York and
located in an apartment at the
conner Of Broadway and Ninety-sev-
enth street and from his windows.
day and night, he could hear the roar
of the passing traffic.
HE HAD DISTRACTIONS
He was surrounded by the distrac-
tions of the big city. He worked out
daily In the gymnasium of the old
Granite State, granting ship for
sailors the nanchored In the Hudson
in his Broadway environment 1t was
impossible for Dempsey to get much
real rest.
People were going in and out of
the house at all hours. II was any
thing but a place in which to train
for an important battle
As a result, Dempsey entered the
ring at Madison Square drawn and
tired looking, and very nervous.
When he was posing with Brennan
for the usual snapshot, his legs shook
visibly. I spoke to him about this
Afterwards, and he said in surprise;
Us that so? I didn't know IL /
didn't feel nervous"
For eleven rounds Brennan, care
fully trained. stood up and slugged
with the champion. He was gradual
ly worn down by the punishment he
received during the infghting. and
succumbed TO a smash in the. stomach
in the twelfth round, but not until
he had busted" one of the cham
pion's ears until 1t leaked a stream
OF blood.
BILL Is TOUGH.
-BillN kept talking to me all during
the fight trying TO get my goat" says
Dempsey. when I'd hit him. he'd
say, oh, that wasn't so hard Bilrs
a tough fellow inside those ropes"
Most of the boxing experts and
fans had picked Dempsey to win in
three or four rounds. The dis
satisfaction over his showing was
great Some said that he had gone
back II ever he had been there"
disregarding the fact that no other
man but Dempsey has ever stopped
Brennan.
surprised at the criticism. He
thought he did very well to get
Brennan in twelve rounds. However,
to his showing in the Brennan fght
can be traced much of the interest in
the Dempsey-Carpentie thing.
This was practically pitched upon

Superauous War.

Abolish war! It's useless stuff,
designed by monarchs ratified; our
cars can kill us fast enough-we
don't need hosts embattled. Wars
such an old and outworn means of
death 1t makes US snicker: our
touring cars and limousines can do
the job much quicker. War kills Its
legions while it lasts. but when 1t Is
suspended, with all its smoke and
deadly blasts. the butchery Is ended.
The veterans forget their scars, and
turn to sane endeavor: but when
we come to motor cars, the blood
flows on forever. If populations are
too thick, the figures growing taller.
there always is the speeding hick to
make the census smaller. The road
ster and the limousine are killing
people daily; we pile the bodies on
the green, and cry our "Willow-
waly" The touring car and large
sedan around the town are racing,
and every hour another man is
ruined by a casing. The smiling
maid. the gaffer gray. upon the
highways hilly are run down by the
brisk coupe that knocks the speed
laws silly. Abolish Mars! And on
his brow let all his cheap wreaths
wither, for we have deadly engines
now that knock him yon and thither.
