not great force. jeff got his head away
from right straight and they clInched
again. jeff bored In another. johnson
held his arms so jeff could not hit him.
They leaned In each others arms and
neither seemed to be the stronger. When
they broke jeff tried a hard left for the
ribs, but 1t landed only lightly. johnson
tried with right to the chin and johnson
ducked away. jeff ducked left swing.
They cInched and johnson used the left
on the cheek. Another cllnch and jeff
stole Johnson's thunder, using left on
the face. johnson came back with a
left and jeff drove a good left In the belt
line. They were clInched at the gong.
ROUND ELEVEN.
johnson felnted with the left and
brought the right across sharply on the
Jaw Jeff shook his head as though stung
as they clinched. johnson used the left
hook more than once, reaching the face,
and jeff laughed as though he enjoyed 1t.
johnson put In right uppercut and as
they clinched jeff whaled Into the body
with both hands. In the cllnch johnson
freed his right and left and right In turn
and gave jeff smartIng blows In the face.
The negro was certainly the master at
ciInch fighting. jeff bled freely from the
| mouth and nose from punches at close
quarter jeff got In one lone body left.
As they closed In johnson yanked each
the face. johnson put In a singing right
uppercut and jeff got in two rights and
left on the body just before the bell.
ROUND TWELVE.
Jeff ducked we'll under left swing and
clnched. They punched around and
johnson was nodding and grlnning at
| some one In the crowd. They broke. jeff
| tried a high left and missed and johnson
missed a right on the Jaw. Jeff's sweled
right eye became bigger and bigger from
the effects of the Joting punches and
blood came from his mouth and nose.
Johnson's blocking when outfighting was
particularly effective. johnson got In a
straight left on the mouth and jeff came
back with the straight left on the
| stomach.

| suggest that he was tired, though his
face had rather dlscouraglng effect.
| johnson landed light left hook on JIm's
| face and they cllnched. johnson hooked
the face with the left. In the cllnch that
| followed Jack freed his left and got to the
face three times. Then he used the right
the same way. He uppercut with the left
| again as Jim seemed to have no way of
saving himself from these hurtful little
| pokes at close quarters. jeff tried to imI-
tate Johnson's uppercut and failed. Then
| johnson, while they were holding to-
gether, yanked left and right loose In
turn and raped jeff again and again. He
| pushed JEFF against the ropes and caught
him with iefts and rights. jeff eIInched
again. jeff pushed johnson into corner
and used both hands on the face. Jeffs
face was swollen and covered with blood.
