Jeffries Was Outclassed.
Johnson walked out Of the ring
with hardly a mark.
The ring experts agreed it was not
even a championship battle. Jeffries
had a chance in the second, perhaps,
but after the sixth, it was plain he
was outclassed in every point and
after the eleventh round it was hope
less.

the ring has eve seen of the failure
of a fighter to come back after
years Of retirement. The youth and
science of the black man made JEFF

Jehries was like a log. The reviled
Johnson was like a black panther,
beautiful in his alertnss and his de-
fensive tactics.
Jeffries fought by instinct, show
ing a gameness and his great fighting
heart, but he was only a she'll of his
old self.
After the third round johnson
treated his opponent almost as a
Joke. He smiled and blocked playful

stops a baseball.
