Harry Keck Says FeIdmai,
Was Clearly Winner Over
Young Dencio
BY HARRY KICK,
Sports Editor. The Americas.

BALTIMORE. oct. 81 - The
largest crowd Of the season at the
One Hundred and Fourth Medical
Armory saw the finest boxing show
presented in Baltimore in nlatfys
moons last night, when four bouts
were crannnned with action all the
way. The fans became so enthused
that they even started fistic Tits
among themselves, which always Is
q sure sign that they are enjoying
themselves.
The windup, between Len Brens
ner, Of Lancaster, Pa, and Nate
Carp. local bantamweight, was
stopped at the end Of the ninth
round by Rereree Tony Geiger and
awarded TO Carp on technical
knockout after Bremen had re-
ceiVed a bad cut over his left eye.
The Boxing Commission physician.
DR.. O'Neil, examined the cut before
the referee called q halt.
The best bout on the card was
the other half Of the double windup.
a twelve round battle between
Jackie Feldman. erstwhile New York
EIyweight, who 10 now making his
home here, and Young Dencio, the
Filipino, Of washington. Feldnnan
was clearly the winner. but the
Judges disagreed, and the referee.
Herman Miller, called the bout a
draw. One Of the judges voted for
Feldnlan and the other Tor Dencio.
Feldnan won six of the twelve
rounds, and thres-the first, sixth
and tenth-were even. Dencio had
the better Of the fourth, eighth and
eleventh rounds.
Jackie was much the better boxer
and also the. sharper hitter. Dencio
did his fighting in flaShes and
spent much of his time wrapping
his arms about his head or body TO
block punches and in swinging
wildly. Feidman frequently had the
little brown mixer swinging like the
proverbial gate.
Dencio opened up witha rush in the
fourth and had Feldman in trouble:
It looked as If he might stop Jackie
as he showered him with punches
from both fists and drove him about
the ring, but Jackie suddenly set
himself and fought him off. Field
man then won the next two rounds
and held his own in the seventh, in
which they fought after the beil. In
the eighth, Dencio again made
rally and Feldnan made the mistake
of smuggling with him. Jackie got
all. the worst of the milling until
he went back TO boxing late in the
round
The ninth was Feldnaan's ana the
tenth even. In the eleventh Dencio
again made a stand and he forced
Feldman on the run. However, the
Filipino's right eye was cut late in
this round and It was bleeding when
he went to his; corner
They fought toe to toe throughout
the twelfth and last round, with
Feldman outlasting Dencio.. The
blood flowed rapidly from the cut
on Dencio's eye and sneared his
face with red. It was q ripping bat
tie, with the fans worked UP all the
way.
Both weighed in at 112 pounds at
o'clock.

wv. H. KEEPER, president
w of the Portland club in the
- Pacific Coast League, has
returned home after seeing the
world series with an expressed
opinion that Walter johnson will
remain with the fighting Griffs.
In denying that Johnson was to
become part owner and manager
of the Portland club, Klepner told
the scribes this
johnson is getting a big SAL
airy in Washington and I think he
will 60 back there next year. He
is interested in obtaining a club
in California, however, and may
make a purchase there later #

Though johnson honestly wishes
to retire from the big show, yet
he is quite likely to come back
for one more whirI with the world
champions. He has yet to expert
ence the thrill Of touring with a
championship club.

his own great merits. Such a
situation, he says, does not make
for morale.
ct may be true, as he thinks,
but others have an entirely differ
emit idea of it. In many of the
big Eastern institutions of learn
ing, as well as throughout the
West, newspaper comments are
considered of immense value,
many times pointing out bits of
faulty work that have escaped
even the Argus-eyed coach.
Perhaps if a young man is
inclined to be too smart it will
be idle to bother much with him
in football way. Those who
know it all and won't be taught
are, SO much dead material, not
worth further effort"

O'Rourke's letter follows:
Dear Tad:
Stepped into Stillman's gym
nasium today and it was pleas
ure to watch Jack Dempsey work
ing out, taking what the horse
man would call an exercise gal
lop. Here is a man champion of
the world, the possessor of more
money than any other champion
or champions combined ever
thought Of having, an example
to other fighters. He was work
ing like q Trojan for at least
an hour and a half, not, for any
purpose but exercise and condi-
tion. This occasional exercise Is
what has made him champion.
The best that other fighters
that work about the gym and
who are in strict training for
q fight probably to be fought
the following week will do is to
punch the bag for three rounds
and box six rounds, often less
and call it a day. Then they are
tired, quit, and wonder why they
never climb the ladder.
1t is amazing the way Demp-
sey likes his work. There neve-
was another champion like him
and | have seen them all. He
deserves all the success he has
achieved in the ring.
Sincerely,

At least two members OF the
New York Giants seemed doomed
never to start another game for
McGraw. They are Irish Meusel
and Heinie Groh. Meusel is vet
cram who has lost his ambition
along with his throwing arm,
which at best was never too strong.
Groh, much better player, is end
ing his days because Of a weak
knee.
Then there is that pitching staff.
Virgil Barnes and Jack Bentley,
Of the regulars, will remain in ac-
tive service. Art Nehf is almost
done. though he viii be retained
to pitch whenever he feels inclined.
McQuillan and Ryan are booked to
wear some other Uniform next sea-
son.
And the catching staff, too, is
due for big shakeup. Gowdy and
Snyder are ready to drop out, CIV
ing way to younger and more active
backstops.
McGraw is now about to enter
upon a brief tour of Europe.
Nothing will be done, of course,
until he returns, but once back
in New York the Giants manager
will begin action without delay.
Il Applies to Yanks, Too.
NyHhe Giants are not the only
team due for q shakeup be-
- fore the 1926 season gets
under way. It applies to the
Yankees, too.
The Yankee pitching staff will
come in for. the biggest change.
That so-called "five.star staff"
didn't look 50 good during the
season just ended and Miller Hug
gins is expected to arrange deals
for several Of them this winter.
Then there is Everett Scott,
Whitley Witt, Bob MeuseI and
Wally Schang, all Of whom have
about overstayed their leave in
the metropolis.
One of the strongest rumors
running around has Harry He'll
mann becoming, a Yankee, with
Bob Meusel figuring in the deal.
Heilmsnn is said to have declared
to Cobb that never again would
he play ball for the Georgian, even
though it meant retirement from
baseball altogether.
Scott is physically through He
has played wonderful ball for the
Yanks, but his legs cannot last
forever, and during September he
slowed down to a mere walk. He
is slated for retirement, though
it may be delayed for a bit.
! Wits days were numbered
when Earl Combs was found in
Louisville. When that youngster
broke a leg in Cleveland, Witt
managed to hang on bit longer.
but he is expected to be shaken
off during the winter.
Schang, like Scott, is slowing
up rapidly on his feer. A slow
catcher lasts lonEer than a slow
shortfielder, but Higgins is
searching for his successor, just
the same.

"Can you imagine a fellow like

Britt boxed the Durable Dane
twice in San Francisco, winning
from him in twenty rounds, and
once in Los Angeles, when he
shaded him in ten rounds. But the
