Vote of the Fans Would Have
Favored Martin and Wrongly

Martin, the army champion, put up q
courageous and conscientious fight
He hit hard enough and often enough
to knock out a number of men, but
unfortunately his preceptor seemed TO
nave been Willie Keeler and he chit
'em where they amt"
Now and then he landed solidiy. al
though as rule, Brennan gave with
the punch. His right was good enough
to make Brennan cautious, but that
caution robbed it largely of It's terrors.
brennan did not mix it with Martin
very often: BE kept well away or
stayed in close, for at infghting there
va Was no comparison between the men.
Wnen chey Fought In crowded quarters
Brennan landed five to one.
Martin assimilated O lot Of punish
ment with great fortitude. He was
tired at the end, but he was still trss
ing to put over the one long swing
which might bring down his man. His
left was not of much use, for his lab
was clumsy and light. For a little
while In the middle Of the fight he
began to swing the left and had some
success with it, but Brennan soon
solved that method of attack.
Brennan Fights Cautiously
AS for Brennan, he fought a pretty
fight, although cautious one. He
stood up straight, rs he did against
Dempsey, and he seldom gave ground.
He was always ready to hit with either
hand and he blocked superbiy. He
could duck and sidestep. too, and Mar
tin missed many hard punch.
Still there was nothing picturesque
about the style of Brennan. Defensive
fighting has little sentimental appeal,
and, besides, Bill is not so young rs
he used to be nor as handsome. Any
body who has seen Bill Brernan's nose
must realize that there must have been
a day when he could not duck as well
as he does now. He is typicaliy the
professional fighter in appearance and
in manner. He is no musketeer, but a
business man, taking no risks and
wasting no blows.
This is not the type TO swing the
emotions Of the mob, and when the last
round ended in a furry Of flying fists
almost every man in the house began
TO shout Martin! Martin Martini"
But the judges said Brennan" They
were emnently right, and not all the
catcails or the boos could change their
decision. 1t stood. and so did the
judges, for in the prize ring, too. Alex
ander Hamilton's wise system Of een-
tralized authority prevails and judges
cannot be recalled.

By Haywood Broun

The wisdom Of the trainers Of the
United States Constitution In estab-
hshing governmental system OF
checks and balances was strikingly
Illustrated last night at Madison
Square Garden when Bill Brennan re-
ceiVed the decision over Bob Martin at
the end Of fifteen rounds. II the de-
eision had been left simply and directly
70 the vote Of the fans Martin would
have won and the majority would have
been wrong as usual.
Still more striking proof Of the
weakness Of direct popular government
wac furnished In the attitude of the
crowd toward Joe Humphries, an
nouncer. Mr.. Humphries had not
harmed a single soul in the audience.
he took the center of the ring, with
10 dlscreditable purpose in mind. He
merely wanted to make an announce
ment, which, after all, is the regular
business Of annourcers. His specific
task was TO read a set of resolutions
passed by the American Committee
Tor Devastated France In honor of Tex
Richard. who ran Miss Anne Morgan's
boxing show.
Unfortunately Mr.. Humphries fol-
iowed into the ring referee whose de-
clsion In the fight between Kid Norfolk
and Pinkey Lewis had displeased the
crowd. Accordingly, free speech was
immediately abolished by the mob.
Mr. Humphries was the most con-
authority, and suffered for it He was
opening sentence Of the resolutions, in
which Tex Rickard was described as
Promoter and philanthropist." Here
.ne crowd began to boo and to below.
mere was no particular animus against

Shock In Beb's Right
The A. E. F. man certainly has a beau
tiful "gift" in that right hand of his,
and he can shoot it home like comets
flash. Brennan assumed a more eau
tious attitude after he had sampled q
few of the Martin shocks, and there
after was always on his guard against
the enemy.
Bill went along nicely again until
the eighth round, when he had another
bad session with the slender young
ster. This time Martin actually stuck
out his left In half jab and then shot
over a right that caused Brennan to
blink and hang on until his brain
cleared.
The crowd, strong for Martin, yelled
ssh him."
1t was hard battling all the way in
the last ten rounds, and although Mar
tin was bleeding pretty freely he kept
going after his man with the very
healthy right that had earned Bren-
mans deep respect,
When the last round came Brennan
uncerked all he had and took many q
chance as they both swung, hooked and
countered. Martin was a bland- sIl MT
at the finish, and Brennan did not
escape unnerknd. his n uta bong cut
and puffed and his right eye damaged.
The crowd was estimated at about
1850.
Real Action Starts Early
The Garden was not jamned as 1t
had been on former boxing evenings"
when the first preliminary was put on
the boards. A fellow could get through
the gates wearing his overcoat, hat,
vest and trousers, which is more than
was possible on capacity nights. Those
who were ticketed for the fioor and
ringside seats came late. These mis-
guided mortals missed some Of the
most sensational action ever seen in
the old arena.
"Whitey" Allen, OF the Bronx, and
Bob Sweeney, of Boston, were the first
pair in the ring, but 1t was just a
deeting glimpse we had Of them. The
fireworks began to sputter from the
against the ropes right after the bell,
Whitley" crashed over wicked over
hand right to the side Of the jaw, and
1ow0 went Bob.
The Boston man got 20 one knee and
prepared to listen to the count. II
had reached eight, when Allen ran
ground in front of Sweeney, waiting
for him to get up. Louis White, the
referee, then wavei Allen back, stop
ping his count TO say "Get back to your
corner" and then yelling "Nine!" at
which time Sweeney jumped up and
swished over q hard right to Whitey's
Jaw, jarring him considerably.
Just when it looked as if there was
to be some zippy action, White amazed
the. crowd by grabbing. Sweeney and
pushing him back to his corner. He
declared the fight over and Allen the
winner.
~ had counted ten and Sweeney was

Coward Beats
Appel; Yale
Ties for Lead
Glass B Champion Victor in
Play-Off, Putting Club
Even With Harvard

In the play-off to decide the winner
of Thursdays match between the teams
of the Harvard and Yale clubs, which
was to have been the last contest in
the tourney for the metropolitan Class
A squash tepnis championship, Thomas
Coward, Yale. the Class B national
title holder. yesterday afternoon de-
feaeed John W. Appel jr,, Harvard. who
won the American championship in
1918. The score was 1913. 1910,
1915.
The single contest was made neces-
sary when the Yale players, wac were
one game behind the league leaders,
held the Crimson racquet wielders to
three-all deadlock. Had Appel defeat
ed Coward the Harvard Club would
have been awarded the cup. The Yale
team is now tied with Harvard, each
having won six and lost two matches.
The season is officially closed. but il
is understood the teams will meet on a
neutral court, probably at the Squash
Club, next Thursday to settle the
issue.
The youthful Coward played excel
lent squash against the veteran Appel.
In the first set the junior champion
got away to an SO lead, and after
being overhauled at 11-all he again
lied, only to be tied again at 13 III.
From this stage until the end of the
extra fivepoint game Coward displayed
III. only wildness which he exhibited in
the entire struggle, and four successive
sans into the telltale with cne out
gave Appel the first game.
again in the second game Appel
came from behind, but this time his
drive was not sufficient to take the
lead away from Coward. The Ysle man
led at 10-4 and ran out from 13-8.
II the last game Coward once more
took an early lead, bat with the score
9-3 against him. Appel made it IL
all and set the game at 13-all few
minutes later. Coward speeded up
from the set point and had little diff

Arthur Pelky Victim
OF Sleeping Sickness

WINDSOR, Ont, Feb. 18.-Arthur
Pelky, former heavyweight champion
of Canada, died at his home in Ford
City, Ontario, to-day, from sleeping
sickness.
Pelky was at one time looked on as
one of the foremost "white hopes" for
the worlds title. He killed Luther Nc
Carthy in a boxing contest in Calgary
some years ago. In his last big fight he
was knocked out by Bob Martin.
AT the time of his death Pelky was a
member of the Ford City police force.
