 No Encct.

The Johnson-Kctchcl fight pictures were shown at the Elks Thcatef in this city last night by the Yale Film Exchange and notWithstandingt the late billing done for the attraction here. q large crowd of fight lovers turned out 10 see them. Owing to the fact That Johnson is soon to meet the Mighty James Jeltries out West for the championship of the world, nn- usual interest is being manifested in the pictures throughout this section.
 It was the first films of the Johnson ketchcl fight shown in this city and the best eyer shown here of prize fight The fighters are featured strictly.
 Twelve rounds are reproduced on canvas in full. It shows the black champion in all of his movements and also reveals the fact that there is much to the determined young Sagi- nav, Michigan boy, who, though 8 pounds lighter and three and half inches smaller that his colored ad- verSarN. he put up q game battle anu second before the fatal knockout blow was received by him in the twelfth round, had the negro on the mat for the count of seven John son appeared to be considerably dag ed. With fendIike quickness and force Johnson regains his feet and rushes at the Michigander with such speed that when he catches ketchel on the mouth the latter falls like an OK struck with an axe, There is ab- solutely no resistance and Johnson turns d somersault over his proc trate opponent.
 Once in the sixth round Johnson apparently had Ketchel at his mercy. After flooring him, Johnson instead of following his blow while ketchel rises to his feet, he backs off smiling. It looks as if Johnson thought he had delivered the knockout blow.
 In the seventh round Xotchel cuts Johnson up considerably and the ne- gro is shown bleeding copously from several bad wounds. Ketchel pounds away at the hardened negro, but without effect In the eighth
 round Ketchel's right arm swings fall short in every instance and al- though he tries to knock out John son iii several close miX-ups he is un- successful
 Tn the ninth round Ketchel's clever left shifting is noticeable and effec- tive. He gets in some good work, but the negro comes back in the tenth strong and gives Ketchel severe drubbing. The eleventh round is Q free-for-all miX-up, with honors about even .Iohnsons fast foot work is noticeable in almost every round.
 The final and twelfth round before Ketchel delivers terrific right hand swing on JOhnson's left jaw and the negro goes down, rolling over. Sud denly. while apparently regaining his equilibrium, Johnson rushes de- flyers left and then right on Ketch- els mouth and nose, tearing away up- per teeth and flooring the game youngster. Johns ons blow carries hin clear across the ring, over Ket- chel's body, and the negro falls spraWling on the mat
 Many believe that Johnson's show ing in the Ketchel fight is criterion of what might be expected of him in the Jeffries-Johnson mill. but is is clearly evident that Ketchel was no match for the negro. He was small CT and lighter and only 23 years old i when he fought the negro. Jeffries has the weight by thirty pounds and endurance, and "wise ones' believe that Jeffries will put an end to the champagne drinking career of the ne- OTTO bo
