Heavyweight Champion in
Poor Form Fails TO Do
Much With "PhiIadeI-
phia" Jack

PHILADELPHIA. May 20-Jack
johnson will not do as a champion.
That is the consensus Of opinion of
the sporting experts who saw last
nights battle when the giant negro,
who holds the title of champion heavy
weight of the world, failed utterly
to make a creditable show against
Jack O'Brien, the local light heavy
weight. Johnson cannot punch. He
has the height, the reach, and the
weight, but he was slow as molasses
last night. and he had not the strength
behind his blows to stow the white
man away despite the fact that he sew
eral times landed on a vital spot.
johnson acted as though he was still
afraid of punishment. and he held
back and awaited his opponent fiat
footedly. with the result that O'Brien
danced in and out like a hornet, land
ing at will, and in most Of the rounds
outpointing the negro.
But even O'Briens friends will not
claim any worlds championship for
him on the strength of what he did
last night. He could not hit but that
had been expected, and the only dam
age he showed on the negro was 10
0uNh w AAAt AdAltl > AtAl t1 - a Alillts
In the first three rounds O'Brien
landed enough blows to get clear lead
on points although in the first john
son got one hard left to the stomach,
and twice in the same place in the
second. In the third, however, John
son was badly confused by O'Brien's
stabbing away with the persistence of
a hornet and was putting like a por-
poise at the bell.
In the fourth oJhnson tried to force
matters. but quickly winded himself,
and here his lack of condition showed
very plainly and he finally stalled
while O'Brien danced around and add
ed few more points to his list.
In the NTH Johnson cornered O'Brien
and closed his eye, sending him to the
floor hard. This was the only period
where the negro actually fought and
he had O'Brien in distress, but was
unable to finish him.
The sixth was a prize waltz with
O'Brien doing most of the leading and
clinching whenever he got into trouble.
To-day both men claim they won.
"I beat Johnson on points" says
O'Brien. "and If the scrap had gone
to a finish / would have put him out"
To this johnson came back with;
MY showing was a disappointment TO
ME, but It was the fact that instead
of fighting, O'Brien held on all the
time, and saved himself. cannot
make my best showing against a hug
ger. but at that I won last night"
Stanley Ketchell. who saw the fight
declared that O'Brien deserved an even
break if a decision were to be rendered
and insisted that the bout showed that
he will have no trouble disposing of the
negro when they meet.

McGUIGAN SAYS O'BRIEN HAD
BETTER OF JOHNSON ON POINTS

clares that he considers O'Brien had
a shade the better of il on points.
William A. Brady, who brought Cor
bett out, declares that Johnson is bad
~ overrated, and that any of the good
heavies can put him away while he
will be cake and pie" for Jefferies.
The fact remains, however, that
johnson was not trained and was lucky
that he was not fighting a real hard
hitter. Johnson had insisted on a
guarantee of $1,000, and that was all
he got. Foxy Jack O'Brien, however,
who is a business man before he is a
fighter, demanded and received a share
of the gate So he was handed s10.-
