Although the Dempsey-Brennan bout is nearly & week old, it is still the chief topic ‘ef men with sporting procitvities every time they gather. It is easier to get a Denxpecy~Brennan and Carpentier argument under way than It is to start a ‘wildfire. Ail the discussions are based on Brennan’s exhibition with the @hampion. As one highbrow expressed it, “Carpentier is rather nifty on his (Seiad saeadlibredichetanadiichadl aay in sport that makes ét interesting. For instance, if a man who had seen Dempsey win the championship from Willard at Toledo had walked Into the Garden last Tuesday night uring the second round, he would have bet any one that it wasn't Dempsey in the ring against Bren- | yan There was nothing suggesting the cyclonic rushes about Dempse: There were no shaepshooting fis flying through the air from all dirée- tions. There was no opponent flop- ping to the floor and afising slower every time. Dempsey lacked this style of milling. and that is the real reason why Brennan seemed to be fighting at that stage. Why Demp- sey didn't have all his speed or pep with him, we don't know. Personally we don’t think he went through ax hard a stege of training as he did for Willard. His outdoor work wasn't so strenuous, and days before the con- test he looked too @ne, like an ath- lete who had extended his period of , was stale. “Then, again, he didn't ha’ such a conditioner as Jimmy Defor- rest to handle him. Instead, Jack seemed to supervise his own training. Jack Kearns might take this as a lesson.

Glance back at the old records and note the routes travelled in other championship Bouts. Didn't it take Corbett twenty-one rounds to beat an “all in” and untrained Sullivan? How many rounds went by before Fitz- simmons's solar plexus punch took the title from “Gentleman Jim?" Fitz went eleven rounds before he lost to Jeffries, and in a “comeback” Corbett; a shell compared -to his championship days, went twenty- three rounds before he was pawed to the ground by the grigzly Jeffries. Jack Johnson punched Jeffries into submission in fifteen rounds, and he Jo turn fell before Willard in twenty- x, Dempsey stood Willard on his pead seven times in the third round, and beat him so’ badly that Jeas couldn't rewpond for the fourth, He beat the monster Carl Morris practically In a punch, and only recently put Billy Miske away in three rounds, and about eighteen others in jig time, all with the rapid fire action that’ he didn't show Tuesday night. Still he won In the tweifth round.
