such a strong youngster as Ketchel.
Champion Changed Tactics.
Once he saw that Ketchel was tot
terins and that he could not land.
johnson changed his tactics. In
stead Of leading to the head, he fore
ed his lefts to the body. and there
was many a left rip to the stomach
that must have hurt the chap. who
was already weakened from the loss
OF blood and discouraged because he
could do nothing with the huge night
Ing machine that stood In front OF
him.
All through the Tight II was evil.
dent that Ketchel was endeavoring
to follow the course that had been
mapped out for him by Britt. It Is
true that much Of the time he was
forcing johnson around the ring.
but II is also true that he tried. with
the best Of his knowledge Of the
fight game, to force the black to
lead. And johnson was willing.
when the opportunity offered. seeing
that he would receive little In ex-
change.
There was some criticism that
Ketchel might have fought a better
fight. but he adopted his usual rush
Ing tactics. But this could hardly
have been. In brief. the story might
have been told In fewer rounds than
II is had the Lion rushed into the
man who was waiting to receive
him.
Marvellous Boxing Machine.
Once more. as In the Kaufman
hight. johnson was marvel OF box
Ing skin. He tented Ketchel time
and again. leading light lefts to the
stomach only to close In with right
uppercut as his opponent protected
himself against a different punch.

to poor advantage.
His rushes and his efforts to use
the shift material as we'll never have
been tried. johnson, seeming to
know what was coming. rushed back
out Of dangers way and the punch
would go hurting by. encountering
nothing more than the atmosphere.

negro. All through the tight, too,
ketchel was puning badly. as II his
wind was none too good. And once
he discovered that he WAS absolutely
powerless. a discouraged look came
over HIS face, and several times he
shook his head sadly between rounds
to friends whom he recognised In the
nearby seats.
In the johnson corner there was
nothing but elation. There was ST.
lence the nrst few rounds, but when
his seconds appreciated how easily
he was handling Ketchel they did
not try to conceal their pleasure.
What round do you want John
son to knock him out?" hurled Geo.
Little at those back OF the corner.
He can do - now. Just say the
word"
But back of Ketchel's chair there
was less noise than In other matches.
Willis Britt. doubtless expecting de-
feat before the ring was entered. was
quiet save for an occasional plea to

oh. how could you be 30 care

bout was over. "Ho wcould you let
him cop you when you had the night

II was scant sympathy, however.

whose front teeth had been knocked
out by the impact OF the johnson
punches. and who was bruised all

Arena Packed With Spectators.
There couldn't have been any big
ger crowd packed Into that arena
than was present. The bleacherites
were standing up. the aislss were
crowded with fans who were crouch
Ing that those behind them might
see, and there were others outside
who could not get within the gates.
Long before the FIRST preliminary
the 81 bleacher section was filled.
and by the time the first preliminary
was over there was not vacant seat
to be seen. Standing room sold at

standing room tickets passed over to
the public.
With the preliminaries out Of the
