TALK OF BRENNAN
DEMPSEY FIGHT

NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-Onited
Press) POSSIBILITY OF Jack Demp-
sey-Bili Brennan match in Boyle's
well known patch in Jersey loomed
up today with the expected arrival
OF Jack Kearns here for the purpose
of taking up the possibilities OF the
match with Tex Rickard.
Rickard. however. has troubles of
his own today at court and may not
be able to see the champions man
ager until tomorrow.
Chances OF a Dempsey-Carpentie
fight to be held in London or Paris
are not regarded as good. Carpen-
tiers victory over Cook brought the
usual crop OF rumors to the surface
bearing on a possibility OF another
Dempsey-Carpentier match but Rick
ard is convinced that neither the
public nor the Frenchmen need an
other demonstration OF the relative
merits OF the men.
BARLEY Madden is mentioned as
possibility instead OF Brennan
Kearns Is known 10 prefer closini
for an early match and Rickard NAV
decide 10 close the Madison Square
Garden season with either Madder
or Brennan against the champion
instead OF waiting until the opening
OF the Jersey area.

RiUdI In Dare Shade

to Lewis. came after he had been
pronounced through because OF i'll

Britton is the oldest champion.
He will be 81 his next birthday. AT
that age most fighters are through.
Britton is champion and going as
well as ever.
Britton has a dangerous punch,
but has never been known as a
knocker-out. He is very clever and
is content TO win on points, rather
than sacrifice his hands in always
attempting a knockout.
II Britton is able TO hold off Dave
