NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Thougf
Bill Brennan won a decision over
Bob Martin in a bout that went the
limit Of fifteen rounds at Madison
Square Garden last night, the heavy
weight champion of the American
expeditionary forces and winner OF
the inter-allied tournament in
France, did not sustain a serious set
back in his drive toward the top OF
the division.
FAILS TO FOLLOW ADVANTAGE.
E Inexperience. nervousness, and
FAILURE to force an attack that annoy
cd Brennan when the soldier fighter
assumed tho aggressive cost Martin
the decision. For about twenty
seconds At tho beginning Of each OF
the last ten rounds Robert stood OF
his bulky opponent with a tantalizin<
lsft jab, but then he would become
arm weary, drop his arms and crouch
waiting for Brennan to lead.
When Martin boxed at long range
sr slugged with Brennan he had non,
the worst of the encounters IN the
elinches, however, Brenan punished
him severely and piled up points that
won for him The man who took
Jack Dempsey along for twelve
rounds could not beat Martin to the
Goor. ..

LACKS EXPERIENCE.
The soldier fought with a timorous
on his features but this
beIied his spirit He was courageous
at all times and simply lacked the
experienced to follow up his ad-
vantages- It was a fight that should
greatly benefit Martin. He gained the
knowledge that he could stand before
ono Of the best white heavywelghts
and a 'lxnocker out" without finching
and he win be more at ease before a
Metropolitan crowd the next time.
Martin has boxed before thousands
Of soldiers, but Madison Square Gar

PROVES HIMSELF
REAL ONE

President-elect Harding is a
real golfer. The other day
when a player missed shot
he advised him to unioosen his
tongue, say just what he
thought, and he would feel
better.
Once when a clergyman was
playing and missed, he closed
his lips firmly. His partner
then remarked that he had
never heard such silent pro-
family.
Unless a foozled shot is dis
missed with some vigorous re-
mark it is apt to haunt one
when he is making the next
swing at the pesky ball.
