O'BRIEN HOLDS BIG NEGRO
EVEN At PHILADELPHIA

Philadelphia Pa. May 20. = Jack
Johnson did not appear in the role of a
champion here last night, as Jack
O'Brien not only held him to an even
break, but succeeded in wiping the
golden smile" off the colored boxers
visage early in the contest. If a YER
dict had been possible Referee Nc
Guigan would undoubtedly have caleld
the affair draw.
Immensely outweighed and seeming
~ afraid of his big opponents right,
O'Brien put up a really good battle.
Neither man exerted himself to any ex-
tent and the throng which packed the
building was disappointed at the quail
ity Of work shown. Talk that the af-
fair was a "frame-up" was current be-
fore the battle, but although the men
boxed slowly they showed no signs OF
Encouragement.
Johnson's work was especially disap-
pointing. Both men depended almost
entirely upon their lefts. and Johnson
would wait for OBrien to lead. Often
when the Philadelphia made pass at
him the colored boxer contented him
self with blocking and slipping into a
clinch
O'Brien Is FeIled Twice.
1t was only in the first and fifth that
the big man showed a flash of form
He knocked O'Brien down with a stom-
ach punch in the opener, then 1oored
him in the fifth with blow to the head
O'Brien also went to his knees once
from the force of a swing he tried tc
land on Johnson's jaw
Long before the fifth however John
son had lost the smile which adorned

his countenance early in the bout His
expanse of girth seemed to trouble him,
as. although beautifully muscled, as al
ways about the shoulders he had a dis
tinct tendency to develop a stomach
which was obtrusive. to say the least
OBrien's singing punches to the face
took off his smile and made him look
serious at several stages.
The accession was quite a gala af-
fair. as a large delegation come down
from New York to witness the bout.
Long before the time for opening the
doors the streets in front of the club
We're crowded, and holders of tickets
had to shove their way through the
throng They entered the club flushed
with their exertions and seemed re-
lieved ance they were inside.

Johnson visited the club early in the
evening, after spending the afternoon
cruising about the city IN automobile
and demanded his $4,000 guaranty. II
was paid to him at once in 81, 900 and

OBrien came in from his training
quarters earlier in the afternoon and
went directly to the home of Anthony
J. DrexeI Biddle. Trains from Wash
ington and Pittsburg kept bringing in
special excursions and all the avail
able seats on the market were soon sold
out. About 8 ZOO persons were damned

Terrible Custom.

Old customs die very hard in China,
and in several parts of the Celestial
empire it is still considered a high
act of virtue for woman to publicly
commit suicide after the death of her
husband. According to the law. tie
proceeding is actually legal in some
provinces, and such is the state Of
public opinion that in districts where
it is officially prohibited the authori-
ties rarely interfere.-TAe Wido World
