of the sober and silent Jeffries. To
the end of the round he continued TO
give more of them.
The fifteenth round started with a
clinch after Jeffries had failed to land
on the body. Johnson then tore loose
and before the spectators were pre-
pared for the finish he had sent JEFF
fries down with lightninglike left and
right blows to the jaw. Jeffries reeled
and fell half way through the ropes
on the west side of the ring. Those
near him saw that he had lost sense
of his surroundings and that the faces
at the ringside were a blur to him.
His time had come. He was feeling
what he had caused others to feel in
the days of his youth and power.
Johnson came over to the spot and
stood poised over his adversary. his
body ready for a left hook if Jeffries
regained bis feet.
The soothing liquids were applied to
the fallen champions bruised face, but
his heart was something that could
not be reached As soon as he re-
gained his sense of persons and of the
rapid fire events that had pushed him
into oblivion he took his head in his
hands and groaned.
Il was too old to come back" he
said.
Jim Corbett and Joe Choynski and
Brother Jack and the others were
ready to cry, but they united in trying
to cheer the defeated man
Less than an hour of fighting had
served to bring to an end the career
of the man hitherto believed irwin
chile and had settled the questions
that have been agitating the sporting
world since Johnson won the cham
pionship from Tommy Burns.

JEFFRIES never
HAD A CHANCE
Clearly Outclassed in His
Battle With Johnson.
FOUGHT GAMELY TO LAST

Faced His Opponent squareIy as Long
as He Was Able to Stand and Took
Severe Beating-Negro Fought
Cautiously, but Forced the End as
Soon as He Knew He Had the Fight
Well in Hand.
Reno, New, July 6.-John Arthur
Johnson, Texas negro, the son of an
American slave, is the undisputed
heavyweight champion of the world
James J. Jeffries of California, win
ner of twenty-five championship fights,
knees before by a blow, has passed
into history as broken idol. He met
utter defeat at the hands of the black
champion.
The fight was disappointing to those
who expected a slam bang affair. John
son clearly oGtfcught Jeffries at all
stages, but was cautious and never
took chance until he knew he had
the fight well in hand Jeff had one
chance in the eleventh round, when he
landed hard left to jaw, but he could
not follow up the advantage. jeff
fought gamely throughout and took
a severe beating.
While Jeffries was not actually
counted out, he was saved only from
this crowning shame by his friends
pleading with Johnson not to hit the
fallen man again. At the end of the
fifteenth round Referee Tex Rickard
raised the black arm and the great
crowd filed out glum and silent
Jeffries was dragged to his corner
bleeding from nose and mouth and a
dozen cuts on his face. He had a
black, closed eye and swollen features,
and he held his head in his hands
dazed and incoherent.
Johnson walked out of the ring
without mark on his body, except a
slight cut on his lip, which was the
opening of a wound received in train
ing.
Ring experts agree that it was not
even a championship fight. Jeffries
had a chance in the second round, per-
haps, but after the sixth it was plain
that he was weakened and outclassed
in every point, and after the eleventh
round it was hopeless.
Jeffres Not His Old Self.
1t was the greatest demonstration
the ring has ever seen of the failure
of fighter to come back" after years
of retirement The youth and science
of the black man made Jeffries look
like green man. The great Jeffries
was like log. The reviled Johnson
was like a black panther in his alert
ness and defensive tactics.
Jeffries fought by instinct, it seemed,
showing his gameness and his great
fighting heart in every round but he
was only the shell of his old self. The
old power to take a terrible beating
and bore in until he landed the knock.
out blow was gone.

ed his opponent almost as joke. He
smiled and blocked playfully, warding
off the bearlike ruShes of Jeffries with
a marvellous science, now tucking a
blow under his arm, again plucking it
out of the air as a man stops a base
ball.
Out of the sea of opinions and argu-
ments that bolstered up this fight and
made it the talk of the world, these
pinnacles of fact have been cast up:
The fight was on the square. OF that
there was no doubt after the first
round.
There was no evidence or hint of
the famous yellow streak" on the
part of Johnson.
Johnson proved himself so absolute
ly Jeffries' master that experts such
as w. Corbett, the Australian sporting
writer and ring expert, declared that
Tommy Burns had put up better
fight against Johnson and that the
black man was only playing with the
other man.
Knockout Came Suddenly.
The end was swift and terrible. 1t
looked as though Johnson had been
holding himself under cover all the
rest of the time and now that he had
measured Jeffries in all his weakness
he had determined to stop it quickly.
Jeffries had lost the power of de-
tense A series of right and left up
percuts delivered at will sent him
staggering to the ropes. He turned
and fought back by instinct as though
he was dying hard.
With the exception of few fast
rounds the fight was tame. Jeffries
did not have the power in his punch
to hurt Johnson after he had received
blow after blow on the jaw and his
vital power was ebbing. But even
before this stage came Jenries could
not reach the black. The blows, al
most all of them, landed with all the
speed taken out of them.
The thirteenth showed rapid disso-
luton on Jeffries' part. Following
Corbetts advice he stuck to the clinch
until he was forced away. Then he
received two lefts and a right upper
cut on the face. After that Johnson
played with him. Holding Jeffries
with bis right on the shoulder John
son fairly rained left blows to the face
and Jeffries wilted. He continued to
come on, however, with his eye almost
closed and his legs sinking.
The crowd waited silently for the
fourteenth and watched hopeless1y
when Jeffries walked into left and
then failed to get his own left home.
The wonderful work of the negro was
never in better evidence than here.
He was simply unhittable.

nomic loss to society by reason of the
| toll taken by tuberculosis is beyond
calculation, while the sum of human
misery to the sufferer and the bereft

sideration appals and terrifies. Fore
