good boxer started his career with a
barroom "rough.up." Johnson began
his with a scrap on a riverside pier at
Galveston (Texas), where he was
born. He was charged by compan-
ion with some malfeasance or other,
and forthwith sailed into his accuser.
The latter was 90 years Of age-five
years older than the colored boy, and
the posssssor of a local reputation as
a pugilist-but in quarter Of an hour
he was out"

against a Texan professional of note.
Johnson won easily. From that day to
this he has "looked back" in a fight

first was when Joe Choynski-''the
toughest proposition" says Johnson,

three rounds at Galveston, In Febru-

Bob Fitzsimmons. He has never been
knocked out In his life, and is held by

that the Negroes confidence was go
ing to he a terrible factor in the
coming struggle. II was.
But another sound broke in ON the
crowd, clearer and heavier than be-
fore, swelling as a little thick-set
man in dark tweed suit followed
the same track that the laughing
Ethiopian had gone over few min
utes before. II was Burns. The APP
pearance of the champion completely
set alight to the enthusiasm of the
spectators, and showed where their
sympathies were. Mainly It was
White against Black with them, and
they roared defiance to "the coon, s.
and frantically cheered Burns. Good
boy, Tommy was the burden OF
their song. Still the unruffled John
son, huddled up in the southern cor
ner of the ring, declined to be wor-
ried. He acted as IL he had expected
this demonstration, and again that
grin illumined the surroundings.
Meanwhile there was dreadful
note of preparation. Resin was plac-
ed on the floor at the corners. n
small chemists shop was produced
at Burns domicile, also smelling salts
cotton wool, chemicals, etc. Then
there was little human incident
which again revealed the mental at
titude OF the fighters. Someone said
something to johnson. Barkis is will
lin. Up jumped several hundred
pounds of black muscle and flesh,
and again that grin; he strobe across
the ring, and offered his hand to
Burns.
The champion touched him dain-
tily with the tip of his fingers in
sullen silence. This gave the cue to
the expectant crowd, who were greed
lily devouring every incident, shat

emily.
And II the unvarnished truth is
told, that is what they wanted--they
had come across the continent. over
the Tasman Sea, from the, sweltering
north, to see Il.
The preparations went on grimly,
silently, in the ring. Outside there
was continuous murmur, swelling

into occasional roars. either of laugh
ter or enthusiasm, just as the crowd
was inspired But In the ring, al
ways excluding that pervading grin,
inseparable from the dusky boxer in
the southern corner, there was not
the semblance of a smile. A good
hearty laugh would have seemed out
of place there. Once Burns allowed
something approaching a smile to
come over his face, but there was no
heart in II, and II got back to its
lair to wait for SUMMER days. Burns
gave the impression Of not being a
smiling man, when there was nothing
to smile at. There was not a spark
of humor on his side OF the ring. II
was downright savage seriousness all
the time.
His attendants went about their
final preparations silently and ter
ribly earnestly. An extra pull was
given to the lace of Burns shoes. the
belt was made looser, the gloves were
fitted to a nicely. No beauty of fash
ion could have more care bestowed
upon her than there was lavished on
these pugilists, who would presently
be pummelling each other into obliv-
ion
Still one more little incident to
ease the tension. Posterity must be
served. The men posed for the ca
