With Bio Black Man.


Philadelphia, May 2O.-Jack John

champion, failed to win over Jack

last night in six-round bout.
The fight was even, and the con.
census of opinion was that it should

permissible. O'Briens marvelously
fast foot work and his superior block.
ing saved him from damage in sew.
eral close mixes, and three times he
was forced to his knees by the great
strength and weight of Johnson In the
clinches.
1t was fast fight, O'Brien doing
the greater part of the leading. John.
son was slower on his feet, and ap.
peared not to be in the best condi.
ton. Repeatedly the champion
rushed his smaller antagonist, but
seldom landed effectively. A right
hand counter in the fifth round cut
OBriens right eye, and this was the
sum total of the damage done in the
six rounds.
OBrien was in and out like a flash
In nearly every round, jabbing John.
son on the face, but the blows lacked
force and had no effect other than to
make the big black man grin and
wave his hand at the crowd. The
spectators shouted with joy every
time O'Brien landed, and hooted John
son for his apparent rough work in
the clinches.
