 Finish Is Spectacular. The closing round was sen sational one and at the sa me time peculiar one. Here is tine way il went:
 Johnson for several rounds stood statu-like al the beginning and then suddenly snapped al Ketchel's face with lefts. la this particular round Ketchel went at Johnson the moment the gong rang. Johnson met him with one of his left prods and some one in l Ketcbel's corner yelled, Now then Stanley"
 Ketchel started giant swing with the right aud his glove ] curved around Johnson's neck. Johnson fell clumsily 10 the floor, close where the writer sat, and l noticed grin on his face as he went down. He dld not remain down an instant. but jumped up quickly and turned to meet Keich- I els rush. K -tchel fairly lmpsled z himself on Johnson's fists and < fell like log.
 At the first opportunity af'er the contest asked Johnson why ] he went down grinuiug from whs. was at best clancino blow. i "On, he hurt me sure enough. 7 ] said the negro. "Ie caught me 4 hn he bone behind the ear"
 Possibly if Johnson had been bumped harder he would have fallen more gracefully. k Ketehel to Sunderland.
 When Ketchel went down he l dropped like a soldier who's heart has been cleft by a sword k thrust. Johnson II like clown q and il is little wonder tn # the = busybodies around the ring were saying that the knock Town was bogus.
 Anyhow, it is registered in the l pictures for what it's worth, aud will possibly add 10 their value as show asset. A point in Johnson's favor is that Referee Welsh thought the knockdown ar ! honest one.
 # Johnson was inclined to foo # around too much and I think ke'chel sneaked ore over nr hlu,' said the mn who ha, # ]uaged sam of the most impor taot battles in the lugiIisiic his # tory Of California.
 Il was lamentabIe one-sidet hght. ketchel swore he wou 'orce the champion t, lead. H. did so on occasion for that mat
 ter but the pity of it was wher
 J'hnson lead he reached some
 lhlng. For about six rounds
 johnson relied mainly on
 straight left, and Ketchel's bleed
 Ing lips and blood-smeared fac
 soon bore testimony to the accur
 acy of his aim. Ketchel pinne'
 ms faith to left uuderswing fo
 the short ribs. He got there, too
 a lew times, but the scoring wa
 'ight, compared to the number 0
 misses.
 Ketchel is Outclassed.
 II was subdnej Ketche
 'aroughout. He tried no shift
 and even his big righ,-han
 swlug, the one he failed with
 aozen times, and lanoed with il
 'oe long run, lacked the usus
 saap which accom- psnies tn
 michigander's attacks.
 Truth to tell, there was littl
 ln the fight as 1t developed to CT
 outrage ketchel. His bod
 nooks were brushed aside, his le
 leaos to the face fell short of tt
 marx and when he made use (
 ms threatening right swing
 Jounson's head drew out of rang
 as though the champion knew
 tue second when one of the mi
 aleweight's best efforts VI
 coming.
 All the world knows that Il
 most mos. damaging blow Johnson
 master of is that nasty uppercu
 which which tears through mar
 guard and loosens his teet
 sonnson kept that thing in '
