It took just a minute and a half
over one round for the Black Prince
to best Charlie Johnson, the Sugar
House Wonder, at the Salt Lake Ath-
letic club last night.
1t is high time that some one who
can fight run up against the Prince.
He has had two dead easy games of
late. Condie was a piece of fruit and
this last man was too easy to talk
about, although there IS a likelihood
that if he had some training, he
would develop into good bit of a
pug.
Johnson had the advantage in
weight, and looked taller and heavier
than the colored boy. He came into
the ring with an active air and
showed up fairly we'll at the opening
The negro fought wild all through and
it is due only to his luck and john
sons ineXperience that he succeeded
in winning, for had the white man
fought shy and with GOODNESS, he had
ample time to beat the darkey's head
off
But all that counts for naught when
a man is beaten.
The first round was q lively one
The Prince forced the lighting and
went at his man with an evident de-
termination to win. He chased him
all around the ring and while his
blows were wild, he succeeded in land
ing one or two which had good effect
Johnson on the other hand seemed
ratified and instead of fighting with
GOODNESS and precision, acted as
though he was frightened at his sur
roundings and instead of getting in on
his antagonist as he had many
chances to do, contented himself vita
hitting twice on the head and ribs
Neither of these blows had any effect
The round closed with the white man
bleeding from slight cut in the lip.
The Prince wasn't nearly as brash
in the second round as in the first
and for a short time fought shy The
other man was equally reluctant to
mix matters, but the time came when
he had to. In the midst of Il hot eX-
change the former managed to cross
counter with his right on the neck,
and the boy from the suburbs went
down. He struck on his chin and of
course that settled it. He was game
though, game as a pebble, and tried
to get up. In fact he did, but was of
decision given to the colored citizen.
In this connection it is we'll to state
that in the Marquis of Queensbury
rules, when a man is down the other
shall retire to his corner. The Prince
is evidently not onto this and should
be told. He waited for a chance last
night in the first when the other man
fell to his knees and only a clever
duck on the part of the gentleman
from Sugar ouse saved him.
Sam Clark and a colored man from
Omaha, pamed Smith, made some fun
for the large audience before the fight
opened by three round go. 1t was
intended to be four rounds. but in
the second the Onahog got funny and
hit Sam a couple of good ones in the
"smeller'' and Samuel got back at
him with such vigor and force that
at the end of the third he was bested
and the referee called it off. Smith
was going to challenge the winner Of
the principal event but changed his
mind. The company is entirely too
swift.
Jim Williams and Henry spared
three rounds which were hot, fast and
furious. Jim is in good condition and
the latter took all that was sent and
got back at his big brother in good
style.
Every one present was satisfied with
the exhibition and not an incident oc-
Cured to mar the performance.
The manager of Jim Ryan, who
fought young Mitchell to a standstill,
is in the city and is trying to get on
a fight with Williams. Jim is willing
and will give a definite answer in a
day or two. He is endeavoring to get
l.. inc
and if either o. them are successful,
he will have to wait for this last man
for a time In the event he does not
succeed, or that either one of those
mentioned do not come to time, he
will take on Ryan. Jim says that he
is willing to meet any man in his
class in the world. He is tired of
waiting and will go in. If he wins he
is on top. If he loses, he will abandon
the ring for something else.
Tucson, Arizona, parties are trying
to get a match for him now and will
offer a purse of 81 900 for him to fight
a well-known man of that city.
