Flynn, fat, Kray, crafty, for three rounds bluff ed Luis Firpo's handlers out of hav k . _ ins “BUI Brennan clubbed to the 1 floor the night the Chicago trial horse fought "The Wild bull of the Pam pas." ( In the end Bren tian was slugged lift* "iiscioua just tno same. Perhaps it would have boon better for Brennan nl Flynn, bis manager, depensed with strategy., Brennan would have been raved many severe bumps on he skull. Strategy that wins a victory Is a f ,e thing. When it puts a man in the ’ ipital it. Is not so good. Of course, general, prolonging a battle, ptnv ig off defeat for a time by strategy, mas not stop to consider that all the while his men are dying. It is well known among pri/o fighters that Brennan never asks to have Ilia legs rubbed between rounds. The legs are barometers' of a man's condition in tile ring. It is his legs lie feels tile first iveari ^nrss, the first signs of distress pro duced by the punches of his oppon ent. As long ns a lighter "lias his legs," be able to niave around well —to “step." as they rail it— he is ail right barring a smash on the chin tiiat disconnects his nerve i enters. When a man’s legs com menre to fall him, when he is tin ab'e to "untrack"—to move around —he is about gone. 1 Returning to his corner at the close ■ the eighth round, very dizzy, very Fs.'ek from the thuhdcrous thumping ' nt Firpo s heavy fists, Brennan ask ed Flynn to rub his legs. Flynn knew that over in the Other earner .Jimmy do ForYest, the white haired handler of the Argentina giant, was carefully wrftching Bren ran for the first signs of disintegra ion. L If I rjib your legs they'll know you're in trouble and send him out. said Flynn, meaning that Be Forrest would unleash the “Wild Bull. ' realiz ing that there v.as no more danger in Brennan. You see, Flynn was hoping Bren nan might stagger through the fif teen rounds, retaining Itis distinc tion of listing never been knocked out b.v any man other than Ihe champion. At the close of tlie eleventh round Brennan's thick legs were so weak ami wobbly that Flynn was com pelled to have one of his assistants rub them to revive the dragging muscles enough to carry Brennan ” out of his corner for the twelfth round. I may de Forrest, busy in ‘he other corner trying to stop thn spurt of blood from a wound over Firpo's eye. saw the action. De Forrest made furious s.gi s with his hands at Firpo. Firpo does not speak English, and De Forrest owa no Spanish. Firpo nodded hia 1 ead. the bell clanged, the giant left l:is corner with a mad rush. He was hurling his huge hands at Brennan before lie got in range of Bid, ns the Chicagoan's legs weaved beneath his 'torso. The finish came ill that round. It is just as well for Firpo I list he dr."S not understand English. Bren nan might have talked his way through the fifteen rounds. Bren nan loves to chatter to his oppon | ent in a fight.
