BRENNAN MUST FIGHT HIS WAY
TO DEMPSEY, SAYS MULDOON.
Boxing Commission Rules Bill Must
Beat lIeav:es First to Meet
Champion.
(By Charles Z. Mathison.l

Pressure has been brought OH Chat,
man William Muldoon to permit IL
bout between Jack Dempsey and Bill
brennan In this city. The commission
some months ago refused q sanction
for such a bout, but since the Gryor.
nor of Indiana prohibited the PAIR
meeting ut Michigan City efforts have
been made to stnge the match in thls
vicinity. Tex Richard is willing to un
dertake the promotion Of tile bout and
the proposition has been submitted to
Mr.. Muldoon. When asked yesterday
II he would give his cnsent TO the bout
Mr. Muldoon said:
On condition that Brennan first Of
all boxes the next best Of the white
heavies. will not select the man but
will be satisfied with any man chos-
Ell by the newspapers. My opinion is
that Billy Miske, who is 40 per cent
better than ever before in his career,
would be a good opponent for Bren-
nan the winner TO meet Dempsey. How
ever II any one can name n suitable
opponent for Brennan I will be pleas.
GU to bhear 1T. So far as Brennan
Dempsey match Is concerned I will
not sanction 1t, but If Brennan vii,
defeat Mdske or some heavy-weight.
who is considered a good match for
the Chicagoan then I will sanction n
match between Brennan and the
champion.
Chairman Muldoon was not en,,us,
nsttc over the performance Of Tut
jackson, but admitted that New York
had been hoodwinked by the handlers
Cd the man. Mr.. Muldoon was present
at the weighing Of Jackson, and when
the scales registered 1873 pounds the
chairman said: where Is tho ether
IL pounds? Your manager said you
weighed 200 pounds. You told peop.~
You were feet 1 inch tall and tho
measure shows you arc but s feet 10
inches
Muldoon said afterward that Tut
measured up to specification In ONLY
one respect and that was rs to tia
side Of his feet.
1t is freely predicted that the next
time Mccartney attempts to introduce
pugliistic phenomenon to the atten
ton OF New Workers he will get fros
