the heavyweight title Saturday by /
knocking out Stanley Ketchel in the
18th round at San Francisco. The end
came SO suddenly that when Ketchel /
rolled to the floor and Referee WEIGH |
counted him out the 10000 people |
crowding the arena were absolutely
quiet for a full minute. Even Johnson,
who leaned against the ropes, half
dazed by his own fall moment before,
did not seem to know what had hap
pened.
Round IL.
Ketchel rushed in again, trying his
right swing on the jaw. 1t struck
johnson on the arm and the latter
dropped to the floor. johnson rolled
over ON his back and appeared to be
in pain as he rose to his feet. Ketchel
carried the fight to johnson, but John
son lay for him and in fash put
crashing right to the jaw and followed
it with a vicious left hook to the body.
Ketchel staggered backwards and as
he swayed the champion got in an
other right to the face and Ketchel
dropped to the mat as if shot. He lay
stretched out with the blood streaming
from his nose and mouth. AS the fatal
count tolled out he made a weak at
tempt to rise on one elbow, but dropped
back again and was counted out. 1t
was Johnson's victory by a clean
knockout.
The fight attracted the greatest
crowd in years. Over 10000 people
were ranked around the walls and over
flowed the seats.
A conservative estimate places the
house at $4,000, of which the fighters
receive 60 per cent, or about $4,000
OF this johnson received 60 per cent
or $4,000, and Ketchel 40 per cent, Of
$4,000.
