JOHNSON is FIRST
NEGRO TO HOLD
TITLE OF WORLD

Jack johnson 10 the first Negro
fighter TO hold the title Of champion
Of the world under the MARQUIS OF
Queersbury rules, In other words, ne
10 the frat Negro that managed TO get
the title since glove fighting began.
The Fourth Of July fight was OF inter
national Importance because OF the
fact that Negro was involved In H..
In looking over the dope book. there
can be found few Negroes or the
heavyweight class that have been cap
able Of holding any titles. A few man
aged TO fight their way near the top,
but mover went any farther.
Peter Jackson. the old-time colored
heavyweight. IL considered by many
to have been the superior OF Johnson
He came to this country from Aus
tralia nj the time John l.. Sullivan
was champion. /, II will be remember
cd that Sullivan drew the color line
and refused TO fight him. Jim Cor
bott was not SO particular. He fought
the colored man and found In him
decidedly tough proposition. The dope
book shows that the contest went 81
rounds to draw. Jackson never had
q chance to fight for the title and he
died some years ago. Many who saw
Jackson and Johnson fight have no
heaitatapcy In declaring that Jackson
was the superior of the colored man
who holds the heavyweight title today
But poor Jackson did not have the
chance 20 demonstrate his ability as
did johnson.
II was Johnson's defeat OF Tommy
Burns that gave him the chance TO
become worlds champion. II Johnson
had not defeated Burns there would
have been no occasion for Jeffries TO
come out OF retirement and tackle the
big black.
Ring history shows that Negroes
have been identified with the game
for years AS far back as 1910 there
was a colored heavyweight, named
Tom Molinesux. who went from this
country to England. There he fought
many battles.
Apropos OF Jeffries' failure to come
back, there Is only one case in the
history of the prize ring where a
champion was knocked out and later
recovered the title. Reference Is
made TO Joe Cans, poor fellow. who is
Mt present dying of consumption some
where In Arizona. The records show
that Cans while holding the worlds
lightweight championship title was
knocked out by Terry McGovern. Dec.
10, 1900. He continued and eventual
ly resained the title, defeating one
tighter after another, until he lost the
title again to Battling Nelson.
Young Corbett's case 10 another
where a fighter tried his best to come
back, but found II OF no use. He was
the first man TO knock out Terry Nc
Govern. Then he defeated Terry a
second time to show he could turn the
trick without any hukes. After he was
defeated by Battling Nelson he tried
for q number of years to regain his
old strength and stamina. bat he could
not. He was defeated as often as he
stepped into the ring.
II seems that after fighter who has

held the title is knocked out he loses
all heart The case OF Bob FitZsim-
mons is a striking one. He won the
heavyweight championship in 1897 by
defeating Jim Corbett. Two years later
he was knocked out by Jim Jeffries.
After that Fitzsimmons won a few
minor victories, but when he faced
Jeffries a second time. he was beat
en- man before he stepped into the
ring. There are many others whose
cases could be cited, for instance,
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. Joe Wal
colt. George Dixon. Jack Dempsey,
frankie Neil and Tommy Burns. Once
a fighter is out. he Is so permanently.
