Twelfth Round-Jeffries walked
forward, waiting for chance to get
inside the negroes impenetrable de-
tense. johnson waited and then drew
back and hooked a left to the face.
Thought you we're going to have
me wild," said Johnson.
Jetfries said nothing. Jeffries
showed and butted in till his head
rested on the black mans shoulder
and then tried to rip in body blows.
They we're blocked almost before thew
were started, however, and the negro
drew a cheer from the crowd. Jeffries
forced him away to close quarters.
but got left on the sore nose for his
reward. His nose bled freely, and as
ne turned to take his seat be spat ont
a mass of blood. Jeffries was not
worried, apparently.
Round Thirteen-Putting his RIGHT
glove before his face, jeff walked into
clinch without blow. When thew
broke johnson sent left to the BODY
and right uppercut touched the chin
'Stick there, JIM" shouted Corbett
jeff stuck until he was forced awav.
Then he took two lefts and a right
uppercut to the face. johnson sent in
three lefts to the face in quick sue
cession, and then uppercut to the
face. Jeff seemed tired and slow. He
could not solve the Negroes defense
and took all the blows that came his
way. johnson stood back and swung
LETT to the face, then calmly clinched.
jeff continued to come in in spite of
the punishment. This round was all
Johnson's. Jetf's' eye was almost
closed.
Cover up" said Corbett between
the rounds. "You will get him.
Round Fourteen.-Jeff walked
straight into left and they hung on
to each other. johnson tapped the
big fellow on the face with left twice
and blocked Jeffs attempt at close
fighting. Shambling forward jeff
took three straight lefts to the face
and got in left to the face lightly.
Jeff's let's were simply picked out of
the air by the clever negro before they
could get within six inches of his face.
How do you feel, Jim?" said Jack
as they stood clinched. Chow YOU
like 'em?' jeff was sober and made
no response. He walked into three
let's in quick succession.
"They don't hurt,' said JEFF. II
will give you some of them now,n
said johnson, and he proceeded to
send in two let's to the face.
Fifteenth Round-When the men
faced each other, it was plain to all
that Jeffries was in distress. His
face was pulled and bleeding from the
Furnishing lefts and rights he had re-
ceived, and his movements were
languid. He shambled after the
elusive negro, sometimes crouching
low with his left hand stuck out in
front, and sometimes standing erect.
STOPPING or erect, be was a mark for
Johnson's accurately driven blows
johnson simply waited for the big
white man to come in, and chopped
his face to pieces. They came into a
clinch after feeble attempt by
Jeffries to land a left-hand blow on
the body, and as they broke away,
johnson shot his left and right to the
jaw in a flash. Jefries staggered
back against the ropes. His de-
fensive power seemed to desert him in
an instant.
Johnson went at him like a tiger.
A rain of let's and rights delivered
at close quarters sent Jeffries Keeling
blindly. Another series of short,
snappy punches, and the big white
giant went down for the first time in
his ring career. He fell under the
top rope over the lower one and onto
the overhanging of the platform.
Resting on his launches and right
elbow, Jeffries looked around in a
dazed way, and got up at the count
of nine. While he was down Johnson
stood almost over him until Rickard
waved him back. He stood ready to
strike, and when Jeffries arose from
his knees he dashed in again. jeff
ries reeled about. and tried to clinch,
but johnson eluded him and as the
champion swung around to the south
side of the ring, he jolted him twice on
the jaw. Jeffries sank to his knees,
weak and tired, but got up again at
the count of nine. It was then that
Jeffries' friends began to call to
Richard to stop the fight.
"Stop it! Stop it!'' they shouted
from all sides. ''Don't let him be
knocked OUT
Richard gave no heed to these
appeals. Jeffries was helpless now
