JfffRIES DEFEATED.
Jack Johnson Wins The Decision
Over JeffrieS In The 18th
Round,

At Reno, Nevada Monday eve
ming, July 4th, the negro, Jack
johnson, won the battle with Jas.
j. Jefferies for the heavyweight
champion p liz eff g h t er of the
world. johnson had the best of
the fight from the start and Jeffr-
les never had a show.
The story in a nutshell is as fol-
lows:
RENO, NEW, July 4.-Time
was called at 2:45.
johnson entered the ring at 2:28
and Jefferies entered four minutes
later.
The fight lasted Is rounds.
The time for the last round was
two minutes and twenty-seven
seconds.
The fight was stopped at BAL.
In the fifteeth round there were
three knock-downs.
The first two of these were each
of nine seconds duration. The
last one was eight Seconds.
Then Jeffries' seconds rushed
in and the referee gave the decision
to johnson.
There is no doubt that, indepen-
dent of this action, Jeffries would
have been counted out.

Kentucky Municipal League.

The formation of the Municipal
League of Kentucky is a move
ment in the right direction. The
league has just held its first an
nual meeting in Louisville and
there should be an indefinite sue
cession of such meetings with
growth in numbers and interest.
Mayor Head has summarized
the purpose of the league in the
words get together" and thereby
has suggested a good motto for
the association. Municipal prob
lens are many and varied. They
are with us always and some of
them are worthy of good deal
more consideration than they re-
ceive. Kentucky has large num-
Der of progressive cities and towns
and all of them have their munich
pal troubles. 1t will be for the
benefit of all if mayors and other
officials get together" at least
once a year and swap experiences,
devoting serious thought the while
to ways and means of giving their
constituents business administra-
ton.
There should be improvement
as we 90 along. One of the surest
ways to bring about this move
ment is for the various urban COM
munities to keep in touch with one
another. One city may have a
superior method of transacting a
certain line of municipal business.
Other cities may be benefited by
finding out that method and put
ting it into practice. In counsel
there is wisdom and there is no
better way of finding out the
strong points and the weak points
of administration than through
the interchange of ideas and expe-
riences at conferences like that
which has been held in Louisville
in the current week.
Every live municipality in Ken
lucky should send a representative
to the annual gatherings of the
Municipal League. The organiza-
ton to be effective should be thor
oughly representative Of every
section of the State. Should it at
tain the Importance it deserves to
attain it will be an influential fac
tor for the common good. Get
together" gentlemen, and 90 in
with cheerful unanimity for mu-
nicipal progress and for forward
movement all along the line!
The above was published in the
Courier-Journal. We suggest that
Mt. Sterling should join in this
movement.
