Johnson stood of as Richard rushed
toward the fallen man.
Twelve seconds we're In reality
counted by Harting. but Rickard did
not hear the count and allowed JEFF
fries to stand on his feet. Jefries
arose more slowly than he had been
dropped. and as. he partially stood
and stsggered around the ring, John
son hit him first with left upper.
cut and then with a right.
Jeffries had not the human endur.

he that his huge body sprawled half
out and half inside the ropes. with
his face turned from the moving pic

The best man did win. No one Of
us can gainsay that, black man though
he is. .l'
As has been said, the fight was a
disappointment. It did not have the
elements Of contest and will go down
In annals as the most one-sided big
fight that ever took place. Jack Nun
roe was heralded as Joke when he
stayed less than d round with Jeffries
some six years ago. and now II hap
pens that Jeffries will be referred to
in history as the man that was.
Even with all that, there were some
surprising features. We could not
tell in that first round or even In the
second, as we thought we would, what
the end of the story was to be. JET

OF the fight, showed no ill-will toward

were Indication OF no desire to beat
and punish the man he was facing.
Nor was Jeffries III disposed toward
the man he was later to face as the
rishtful champion. Even Johnson in
his statement says that In the ex-
change of words between the heavy
weights there was nothing suggestive
OF a quarrel or dispute. II was cold

Jeffrics, the defeated was not the

order to have a glimpse of him. THE

Race feeling? There was none

But aside from the pity that comes
to the loser, there was no thought
given to the fact that he had been
defeated by a colored man.
Closed Eye Beginning OF End.
There are many who argue that
Johnson could have won In any OF
the early rounds and that he was
fighting for his friends and the NOV.
ing pictures. BE that as Il may. II
was after the sixth round. when he
closed Jeffries' left eye and landed
almost at will with vicious lefts and
rights. that the white fighter showed
an utter lack OF stamina and fought
after fashion that stamped him as
a loser sooner or later. ....
The youth had fed from the big
frame, and there was nothing but the
desire to keep him going. With no
strength to punch or ability to fight
aggressively, nothing moro than a
hollow shell Jeffrles put up a sorry
fight. so sorry an affair that the
crowd came away from the arena dis.

The editor OF the 500 News has

operating the editorial typewriter, and
Is content u do that. He says he is
glad To be just the editor of The News
again, and doesn't want any state job.
MIR. Knox didn't get into the political
fight in Michigan TO land anything
for himself. He got into it because
he believed Mr.. Osborn would make
a splendid governor and was the best
fitted man for the executive chair.
And IL was with this same spirit
that other editors. friends of Mr.. Os-
born. got into the campaign and did
their best TO create sentiment favor
able to his candidacy. 1t was a fight
for good government and a united,
undivided Michigan, and the fact that
Mr.. Osborn won is reward enough.
Mr.. Knox says the next two years
will be most interesting years for the
occupant of an editorial chair. Inter-
esting in Michigan since, under Chase
S. Osborn. Michigan is sure to under
go political regeneration and regen-
Grafton, and most interesting in ma
tional affairs since the republican par
ty, following the drubbing it received
almost everywhere but in Michigan,
must purge and cleanse itself of blind
self-seekers, of constituencies privi-
lege- defenders and of blatant dema-
gogues, and become again the party
of the plain people. The time has
come for a clean cleavage between the
forces OF sane and intelligent progress
iveness and the forces of reaction and
conservatism. The coming two years
will see a more general political re-
alignment than during any period
since 1896. 1t will be most interest
ing TO observe and comment upon.
