HART GOT DECISION.
johnson Was on the Defensive All the
Way

wOODwARD'S PAVILION, San Fran
ciso, March 2S.-Marvin Hart was
awarded the decision over Jack John
son in a twenty-round contest tonight
that went the limit, but he was far from
meet Jim Jeffries. Hart was as badly
punished a man as has been seen in
the ring in a long time. but he was
game to the core and kept boring into
the big colored man all through the fight.
Johnsons much Wanted clevernesS did
not count for much.
While he was able to hit Hart fire.
auently, his blows did not seem to dam
age the white man from Kentucky. The
openly with Hart, who was at the
short end of the betting, and every lead
he made at Johnson, whether he landed
or not. was greeted with cheers. hart
did manage to deal the only effective
blow in the eleventh round, when ne
landed right swing on Johnson's Jaw
that staggered the black man and near
~ knocked him over.
Referee Greggains stated that he gave
the decision to Hart because all through
the fight Hart did all the forcing and
leading. According to Greggains If Hart
had not pursued his tactics there would
have been no fight, as Johnson merely
contented himself with countering.
Harris face was battered to a pulp but
Johnson's blows did not seem to have
much sting to them. Johnson did a great
deal of uppercutting. but Hart covered
up and the blows did not seem to hurt
him.
Jabez White, who arrived yesterday
from England to fight Jimmie Britt, was
introduced prior to the main event.
Battling Nelson also appeared and said
that he would fight Britt at any time.

ATTRACTS LARGE CROWD.
Automobile Show Develops New Points
of Manufacture.

Many Washington men and women who
are interested in automobiles and automo-
billing attended the automobile show at the
Washington Light Infantry Armory on
10Th street last night. The large audito-
rum was crowded from the time Haley
orchestra struck up the opening march
until the notes of the last air died away
The continued large attendance is taken
by the several managers to indicate the in
creased interest Washingtonians are taking
in the latest models of the superb horse
less vehicles that are on exhibition, and
some of which can be seen gliding over the
smooth concreted roadways Of the capital.
The great majority of the cars shown are
gasoline machines; electrics are still holding
their own. and steam machines are still in
evidence. In the gasoline machines the
tendency seems to be strongly toward the
large cars, the light runabout seating two
passengers being encountered only now and
then during the trip around the exhibition
hall. Nearly all the tonneau. opera car and
limousine bodies have side entrances. the
rear door tonneau having almost entirely
given way to the side entrance. There Is
less wood this year and more aluminium
and there are also fewer brass rails to add
weight. Artillery wheels are to be seen on
nearly every car. Tires this year are larger
and heavier.
manufacturers of automobiles have gener-
ally reduced their products to a number of
standard types, and that the most impor-
tant lines of Improvement In view are the
perfecting of small details of design, SIM
plifying the machinery by dispensing as far
as possible with complicated parts, and so
locating the machinery that parts liable to
need repairs are easily accessible. There
is also tendency to simplify the operating
devices by reducing the number of wheels,
levers. pedals. ETC., to minimum
A number of sales were made yesterday.
1T is said.
A number of Baltimore motorists attended
the show last night. and 1t is understood
that big party of Baltimoreans will come
over later in the week to see what Washing
ton has to offer in the way Of an automo-
bile show.
Edward L. Addicks, the famous Delaware
politician, visited the show last evening
and seemed much interested in the big tour
ing cars.
Saturday the auto show will again be open
from 10 o'clock a. m. to IL o'clock p. m.
