There was a good sized crowd on hand {to witness the attempt, and Larson was tendered thunderous applause for his stunt. During his hight string, Lar- son scored three strikes and four spares. His strikes came in a cluster of three in the second, third and fourth box. The spares were made In the first, fifgh, ninth and tenth box. How it Was Done The feat of setting a new record was accomplished as follows. 20, 50, 78, 96, 111, 121, 130, 139, 158, 174 Mr, Larson was the victim of an unfortunate accident while working at a Hartford factory nearly two years ago. He was an enthusiastic bowler previous to this time, and it was the right hand that suffered in the acci- dent, it seemed as though Larson's bowling days were over, Friends ad- | vised him to try his left hand at the sport, but Larson had other plans. He whittled out a plece of wood, an artificial hand which he can adjust to his wrist. It consists of four fingers, shaped 4n a manner of clutch that enables him to grasp the ball | firmly. His work on the alleys during the past few months has been re- markable. and several times he has bowled over the country mark in competition.

The general be- lef that Dempsey would dispose of Brennan in three or four rounds was not realized. And the aggressive and | courageous fight made by the chal- lenger not only reflected the greatest credit on Brennan but aroused the highest admiration on the part of the thousands who witnessed the combat. . To the astonishment of the onlook- champion from the first round up to | the tenth session, and while he was | in a weakened condition In the two closing rounds, yet he fought with desperate energy. At the beginning | of the twelfth round it looked very much asg though Brennan would last jthe Umit. Had he done so it would have been the first time in many | years that any opponent had sur- vived Dempsey’s punishing blows for the complete schedule of rounds of | the contest. | Brennan not only showed the abil. ity to assimilate punishment—as he received terrific punishment in near- | ly every round—byt in addition he in- flicted more dam on the champion than Dempsey has received in any bodt since that in which he was | stopped in the first round by the vet- eran Jim Flynn. Brennan's shots to Dempsey's face not only cut | profusion, but the challenger also as- | salled Dempsey's left ear with a fl::r that caused that organ to bleed also. Dempsey staggered Brennan sev- eral times during the twelve rounds and the Chicagoan seemed on verge of a knockout on two or three occasions, but with dogged courage he weathered the storm of blows and - while wabbly at the close af the sev- eral rounds he managed to respond to the bell for the next sesslon with pPraiseworthy aggressiveness. Dempsey 188 1-4, Bremnan 197, Bill Brennan entered the ring at 10:27 o'clock. He wore a read sweat- er jacket and looked of deep con- cern. An army of camera men snap- ped him in all sey followed immediately, climbing through the ropes at 10:30. Bren- nan's chief second was Leo P. Flynn, | assistant matchmaker of the Garden |club. Brennan wore green trunks, while Dempsey's trunks were snow white, with a red, white and blue belt. Pete Herman, the bantam champion, was introduced and also his coming opponent, Joe Lynch. Dempsey and Brennan drew on gloves without any delay and were fully prepared for action before the camera men had finished their oper- ation. Johnny Haukop of Brooklyn was referee, Humphreys introduced Dempsey as | the hardest hitting champion ever known. As Dempsey sat in his cor- ner listening to the advice of Jack Kearns he wore a scowl on his face, his forehead being wrinkled like cor- rugated iron. The weights were 188 1-4 for Dempsey and 197 for Brennan. Humphreys then showed the diamond studded belt presented by Tex Rickard 'to be the property on the winner. The box fight« ing pose were then photoj hed As they gazed at each other “'Brennan looked on Dempsey's foet. When the photographers had cleared from the | ring the contestants came to the cen- ter for final instructions. The Finish, Brennan landed a heavy left hand- er to Dempsey’'s mouth and followed | with a right to the ecar. Dempsey | shot a right to the jaw and they ex- changed light left handers to the mouth. At close range they pum- melled each other with short rights to the jaw. A left hander to the body !l doubled Brennan over and Dempsey !struck in a heavy right hand punch \(\n the jaw. Brennan toppled to the canvas, where he was counted out by the referee, Haukop. The round last- ed one minute and fifty-seven | onds. sec- Brennan's Chance. Brennan was first to lead a heavy right that glazed the champion's head. In a clinch they tried for body 'and face, but without any effect Bren- nan ducked a vicious left hook from Dempsey and at short range they pummelled each other merrily.

SPIT BALL MAY RETURN Matter of Allowing Pichers to Use ‘Moist Delivery is Referred to Ad- visory Council. New York, Dec. 15.—If Judge Lan- dis, John Heydler and Ban Johnson as the Advisory Council agree, the spit- ball will be seen in all its glistening glory in the big leagues for several years. At the annual meeting of the Na- tional League yesterday, after a sharp discussion the owners voted to refer the question of further use of the spitball to the Advisory Council with the recommendation that the men now certified as spitball pitchers be allowed to continue its use during the rest of their lives as pitchers. This means that Dick Rudolph and !

LOCAL POLOISTS STAR New Britain Players in Hartford Am- ateur League Displaying Champion- ship Form. New Britain is not represented on the polo surface with a league team this year, but a quintet of amateurs from the Hardware City is making fame at Hartford. It is the team known as the Buicks, and is com- posed of Eddie McAloon and Al Swan- son, rushers; Jack Fusari, center; Jimmy Lawlor halfback; and Bayer, goal. So far this season the team has met with one defeat and is leading the Hartford Amateur league by a comfortable margin. All of the play- ers will be remembered by the fans, ! having performed at both Hanna's and the Casino surfaces in the good old | days. Bill Nelligan, Jimmy Clinton, Jack Coffey, Frank Hoole and Pat De laney are members of other teams in the league. Clinton is proving to be the same flashy player as when he wore the uniform of the Nutmezs at Hanna's armory. Eddie McAloon is a veteran who seems to improve with age. Mdc's friends attribute his Freat playing this season to the fact that his idle moments he devotes to prac- tice. . .y “Y” LOSES ONE MORE !
