LONDON VIEW
OF The FIGHT
Times Somewhat Mortified
That Negro Defeated a
a White Man

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON. July l6.-Serious English
journals have begun a discussion OF
the Jeffries-J Johnson fight at Reno the
queer part of the affair being that the
British public which generally de-
lights i'm anything it believes adversely
upon America or Americans is sud-
denly all in favor of the dominant
races suppression Of the negro.
The London afternoon Star is pIac-
ticaily the only publication that has
criticised the outbreak of anti-negro
violence which was reported here
doubtless with great eXaggeration-to
have occurred all over the United
States Immediately after the result
of the fight was announced. Even the
Stars criticism was due TO a desire to
retaliate upon ex-President Roosevelt
for his structures upon England's fail
ure to keep better order in Egypt.
The rest of the British press takes
the surprising surprising for
the British-that il is quite natural
for white Americans to have resented
defeat Of their champion. AS serious
a paper as the London Times. COM
menting ON the fact that Americans
dislike TO see a white man beaten by
a negro remarks:
"The feeling. we think. is not con-
fined 10 America. 10 is very easy for
us I'm England where we have no color
problem to talk with indignation and
abhorance of the lynchings aud the
outrages which occur so frequently in
the southern States of America. We
have yet to see how the English would
act if confronted with entirely similar
conditions. There is much reason to
fear that our attitude would be no
more tolerant"
Times Mortified.
The Times also shows indications
OF considerable modification at a neg
ro's victory, but consoles itself that
this single instance has nothing
whatever to do with the relative quali-
ties of the black and the white races.
"A thousand picked American
hites would probably beat on equal
terms thousand picked negroes in
any conflict or any form of physical
endurance. An average muscular Chi
nese from the northern provinces
would probably stand a degree Of pro-
longed fatigue and exposure under
which Johnson would break down ut
terly," it says.
The Telegraph, another heavy
weight London daily agrees with The
Times. 1t deplores lynchings and viO-
lence, "but behind them" it says. lies
the absolute necessity of keeping the
negro race a little in check, for If it
once gets out of hand or goes col
lectively mad with excitement, there
will be worse scenes under the Stars
and Stripes in the Twentieth century
than have ever been seen there"
