Flashes From
Former Fights

The only boxer that ever got a 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
days wages. But somehow or other
Bill is one of those fellows who can't
six rounds for Dempsey to quiet his
nerves and or another occasion Bill
remained awake twice that long.
This second occasion was last De-
cember at Madison Square Garden.
Brennan was sure feeling fine that
night. He acted as though he had
just taken a shower under the Foun-
around wondering which way to
dodge next. he stepped up and show
ed the champion all his stuff.
Some of it didn't seem to sit very
we'll with the king of fighters. Early
in the bout Brennan handed him a
wallop that for a moment seemed to
daze the head that wore the crown. A
little later on his glove clashed Defnp-
sey's mouth and after a while cor
puscles began to take the air in the
vicinity of the champions ear.
h experts said Brennan carried
the fight to Dempsey for ten rounds.
Some 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 Dempsey. 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 18th round
and let it loose upon Brennan. square
ly amidship. The big c~hallenger's
body assumed the posture of a. half
opened pocketknife, his head drop
ping almost to his knees. Fighting
hard against the approaching end. he
spread out his legs and remained up.
While swaying in. this position Bren-
nan received a sound smash on the
jaw and fell to the floor.
