Not a muscle quivered in his big frame as he lay face down on the canvas. The referee, John Appel, swung the count of ten over the unconscious battler, but that was a mere matter of form. Brennan was out for keeps, it was plain for all to see. In rYont Till the Twelfth. Carried to his corner, still unconscious, Brennan soon was revived.

When Brennan took the first hard blow from Firpo in the hectic twelfth round he appeared to be out in front and was lighting a careful fight, evidently with the idea in mind of copping the decision on points. lie had Firpo looking bad from a severe cut over the left eye which practicaly blinded the South American from the fifth round on. Brennan kept pecking at the damaged optic, and alternated his attack by inflicting considerable body punishment, but Luis was too strong. When he found he couldn't reach Brennan at the National league on the C. Rube Benton case may bring out a situation that will be a real one.

Landis ruled that Benton was good enough to pitch for the Cincinnati Reds if he was good enough to pitch in the American association on moral grounds.

Instills Preparedness. During the world war Col. Hammond was connected with the 149th field artillery, which distinguished itself so honorably. During the time he was in service Col. Hammond realized the great good which boxing did in the upbuilding of the American army and is now trying to instill the same kind of preparedness in the 124th field artillery by having his men take part in boxing contests.

When such persons as Col. Tom Hammond, who know from experience what boxing can do for the youth of the country, believe in amateur contests, it is little wonder that more than 200 entries have been received for the Tribune A. A. tourney. Calf's Finals Tonight.

Hilly Levin New York bantam who not to put Benton on the pay roll, and said the former Giant southpaw could not come back to his league. The attitude of the National league president in this instance appears as inconsistent as it was in 1917, when the Ilerzog-Benton an.se first was brought to his attention. Both players made charges against each other and he permitted them to remain in baseball for their natural period of usefulness and now, six years later, he raises objection t6 the return of Benton for reasons that existed for three years while Benton was pitching for the New York Giants. Benton-IIerzog Row. Benton claimed in 1917 that Herzog made him an offer to throw a game and that he laughed it off and told Art Fletcher, captain of the Giants, about it.

Benton pitched the game in question and won it. Heydler brought the pair before him and they both questioned the veracity of each other. Herzog claims Benton was "out to get him because of some trouble they had when Herzog was managing the Cincinnati Reds and Benton was pitching for him. Herzog said he fined Benton for breaking the training rules, and that Benton said at the time that he Take Your Pick of Four Al Cards to Be Staged at the Yards on March 19 National league associates made the threat of a twelve club league, and Landis was put in office. The position of Heydler is rather precarious, as he has against him in this issue, Garry Herrmann, the president of the Cincinnati Reds, who is about the smartest and most experienced man in baseball.

He has also to figure that Landis has a seven year contract if it comes to a showdown.

He would hare been an easy mark for Dcmpsey's left. Brennan hit Firpo freely, stung him time and again with lefts to the face, but they did not appear to hurt. The Buenos Aires battler's attack was Raillike. He swung his arms as a club swinger might swing Indian clubs. Brennan found it next to impossible to halt him when he went, bull-like, into an attack, ripping and tearing at his opponent with his giant strength.

He awkwardly rushed and pounded Brennan down to defeat and there was no denying him when he saw he had the old trial horse of the ring on the run. But in all fairness to Brennan, it must be said that he fought a good game fight against the younger, bigger, and stronger man. and he got a big cheer from the crowd when it was all over, EARL, CHICAGO, ANNEXES WELTER AMATEUR TITLE Gary, March 12.
