20 gain-it Is sure that he had lit

But-and il is big BUT-in this
case Johnson was not able 20 get

Al down for the "ten." Try as he
would. Jack was always a bit short
in getting home the finishing blow
At times, too. the negro was ia
trouble. In the latter rounds Kauf-
man altered his plan OF battle. re
began TO fight for the stomach and
he had johnson worried. In the last
two rounds Johnson tired percepti-
bly, and the tide OF battle seemed
10 be shifting. After two or three

more rounds the result might have
been very difficult.

JOHNSON WON EASILY.

Suffice il to say. however. that the
battle was only a ten-round asair
and that johnson knew. this as well
as any one else he fought ten
round battle; IL he had had Ia 90
twenty or more rounds he might
have fought differently. As IL was
he was the winner by legaue or
more, and none was there at the
ringside to gainsay this.

when he entered the ring. but ac-

pounds overweight. This surplus OF
nesh was so evenly distributed over
his rangy form that he looked TO be
IN great condition. But the fat was
there just the same. and when the
pinch came in the last two rounds
he felt the handicap.
There was no particular punch
that could be said to have won the
hight for the champion. He had
everything, and used them all, but
his trump card was right uppercut

He found that she had removed to

declared that Cooke had a blackjack

Fearing bodily harm, Hampton
armed himself with a double-barrel-

meet Cooke, warning him 10 be care

tion TO him, but came on with the
blackjack in his hand. When some

ACTED IN SELF DEFENSE.

At the jail last night, Hampton
was not the least nervous. He said
that he had acted in self-defense.
and that IL was either that he would
have 10 kill Cooke or be killed him

two.

when he threatened to Kill her If
she did so, and he went in and

stated that he would now secure
