The San Francisco call., 1910-06-30


slamming the lump of leather at Mills
with all his might and now and then
he would send it in strong to Mona :
han.
LIVELY NEAR END
The afternoons proceedings opened
with the usual four round mix with
AL Kaufman and 1T seemed from the
start as If the champ had no intention
of repeating yesterdays swift and
bloody action.
He devoted himself TO defensive work
for the greater part. but amused him
self and the onlookers by making AIS
head bob back at intervals. At first
Johnson was cautious and the white
man rushed considerably without
avail
Toward the end there was a bit of
lively action and in the exchanging OF
blows Kaufman managed to bring to
the champs sore lips slight smear of
the red fluid. Without extending him
self Johnson picked off the majority
of kaufman's blows with a satisfying
nicely. At times AIS efforts to bore
into the big champ brought forth
laughter from the crowd. Before the
bout ended Johnson succeeded in MAX
ing the claret show on his opponent.
Young Monahan came on for the
next go and made the best showing
since he has been training here. Mona
han, although slight and awkward in
comparison to the big fellow, is pos
sessed of a quick jab that calls forth
the champions eleverest blocking tao
tics. Because of his sore lips johnson
warned the lad to be careful with It,.
The bout which was also four rounds,
brought out now and then remark
able show of the champions speed,
footwork and lodging ability, which
for some reason he has kept in re-
serve since settling at the resort. Sew
eral times Monahan sent out the quick
blows and despite the ceaseless block
ing few of them got past. The red
showed on the smokes lips and he
made it lively.
JOKES IN RING
The champions afternoon banter
centered about Monahan and johnny
Lotus, who tended the latter in the
corner of the ring. Johnson in open
ing with THE lad remarked, with a grin
of course: Get another second; that
LOTUS amt no good" Then later the
champion asked: who is the greatest
judge. you know" This was barking
back TO the mock trials that have been
amusing the camp. Monahan replied
that Johnson was, and to number of
other questions made confusing an
swers as the champion punctuated his
remarks with blows. Monahan, who
bleeds profusely in his mikes with
the smoke, made today's showing no
exception.
Mills came on for the closing two
round go and. save for some clever
boxing and footwork, the showing was
featureless. The workout was wit
messed by Mrs. Johnson and Mrs Hart.
who sat in the shade of the punching
bag stand. Mrs. Johnson smiled con-
tinually when the champion put in his
good licks or passed some little pleas
antry. AS in all of the previous work
outs, an unusual number of women
were present, reserved section hav-
ing been built for them at one side OF
the ring.
When Professor Burns announced
that the afternoons entertainment
would close with the twelfth round,
the visitors. held back usually by ropes
and the vigilance of Deputy Sheriff
Harry Hammond. pressed close about
the ring to watch the champs move
ments. The platform was not quite
such a glaring furnace as usual, but
nevertheless the work would have
made almost any one else breathe
