much better than the score indicates
jas the Rex scored six runs in the
first inning as the result of two bases

ness to both Tommy Degnan and Chiei
Frazier the DIS were forced to juggle
their team to the extent That four

Bill Brennan Kept His
Feet T,Uelre Rounds
In Champs Last Go

The only boxer that ever got real
good days work out of Jack Dempsey
was Bill Brennan. Usually Jack knocks
an opponent out in the first two or three
rounds and collects his day wages. But
somehow or other Bill is one Of those
fellows who can't get to sleep right
away. Once it took six rounds for
Dempsey to quiet his nerves. and on
twice that long.
This second occasion was last Dc.
ccmber at Madison Square Garden.
Brennan was sure feeling fine that
night. He acted as though he had just
taken shower under the Fountain Of
Youth. and instead Of sticking around
wondering which way to dodge next. he
stepped up and showed the champion all
his stuff.
Some of il didn't Srcm to ait very
well with the king of fighters. Early in
the bout Brennan handed him wallop
that for moment seemed to daze the
head that wore the crown. \ little later
Bill slashed Dcmpsey's mouth. and after
Il while other rorpusclcs began to take
the air in the vicinity Of the cham
pion ear.
The experts said Brennan carried the
ngnt 10 l'elllpStS loT t'H Ioulue ''olit
skeptics believed the champion tarried
that long TO give the movie fans a treat.
Other people whispered that the real
low down on the thing was that Demp-
sey had not trained hard for the scrap
and was not in good condition. The
fact remained that none Of his caveman
punches were In evidence during the
early part Of the fight.
He assembled one of these wallops in
his left arm during the twelfth round,
and let it loose upon Brennan squareIy
amdship. The big chnllenger's body
assumed the posture Of a half Opened
pocket knife, his head dropping almost
to his knees. Fighting hard against the
approaching end, he spread out his legs
and remained up. While swaying in
this position Brennan received sound
smash on the jaw and fell to the floor.
