hooked right and left co the jaw and
carried with it a world of power.
After .Jeffries had butted with his
head, Johnson flung his left to his
stomach and they went into a friend
ly clinch.
J~effries crouched low and Johnson
drove home a wicked left tilt full in
the stomach. A moment later he
sent in two left jabs to the mouth
and eye, but Jeffries apparently paid
little attention to these blows. The
round ended in Johnson's favor and
with Jeffries' face bleeding from
several places.
Tenth ft0ukd.
Not much life marked their COM
ing to the center of the ring. John
son shot two lefts to the head and
followed this with a short right arm
to the ear. A long clinch followed
mixed with wrestling. Jeffries then
swung his right around the body.
The men confined themselves mostly
to infighting and short streaks of
wrestling, Johnson always on the
alert to land Il punch. Johnson whip
ped two lefts to the jaw and a right
uppercut to the jaw and made JEFF
fries yell "Oh" audibly. Johnson
peppered away with his left and
clearly %outboxed his man. 1t was
Johnson's round. Delaney asked
Richard to watch the gloves when
the men were holding to see that
there was non broken.
Eleventh Round.
A half minute of wrestling with
out damage opened the round and
Johnson smashed Jeffries time and
time again with a left and right to
the jaw and the boilermaker fought
back wildly. Johnson swung a
terrific right, more of an upercut, to
the jaw and followed this with a
clean right uppercut to the jaw and
J~effries almost weakened. Johnson
employed left and right uppercuts
again and again TO the jaw and vari-
ed this with left and right swings to
the jaw and blood spouted from JEFF
fries mouth in a stream.
Jeffries was a bad looking sight at
this stage, but he suddenly electri-
fed the crowd by making a round
end rally landing his right to the
jaw and a hard left to the body, that
brought the crowd to it's feet. John
son. however, had a good advantage.
Twelfth Round.
The men clinched after the black
/ had missed a hard left for the jaw,
remaining in this position half a min
ute. AS Jeffries rushed in Johnson
met him with straight left and right
%uppercuts to the jaw. With the men
breast to breast, the negro swung left
to body and face, all the time keep
Ing up a conversation with Corbett.
Johnson cleverly blocked blows in
tended for the body and sent home a
straight right to the sore mouth,
starting the blood afresh. The negro
shot a straight left to the face and
then sent his mans head back a foot
with similar blows. Jeffries went to
his corner splitting blood and with
the odds against him. Jeffries' sec
onds were ominously quiet at this
stage. On the other hand, the John
son orner fairly hummed with life
and hustle.
Thirteenth Round.
The men fought without damage
to a clinch and wrestled about the
center of the ring. Johnson break
ing it up with a volley of rights and
lefts to the face and mouth. He
~cleverly evaded Jeffries' clumsy at
tempt to land on the body and cut
ting loose, landed left and right in
quick succession on the jaw and body
J~effries weakened at this stage, a
right uppereut almost lifting him
from the floor. he seemed all at sea
in locating the black who waded in
like a merciicss "juggernaut dealing
out severe punishment with every
tap. The round ended with Jeffries
trying to cover up and stay away.
Jeffries stared rather blankly
in the middle of the ring and appear
ed to be in bad shape.
Fourteenth Round.
Jeffries was met with a straight
left as he got up and a moment later
another spiteful jab went to the
mouth. Johnson placed his stomach
within Jeffries' reach and t~auntingly
cried: Hit that belly, jim; why
don't you hit it, jim" Jim did not
hit it. They closed and Corbett inn
portuned his man to beware of the
dangerous %uppercut. Jeffries' right
eye was totally closed at this stage.
Johnson sem in some rapid fire lefts
to the mouth and he said, I'm as
clever as you are. JIM" to Corbett
and Immediately the exchange of re-
partee followed. The round ended
tamely, but. Johnson had all the
honors and Jeffries' seconds looked
blue.
Fifteenth Round.
When they approached each other
1t was plain that Jeffries was i'm dis
tress. Johnson dashed at him like a
tiger, A rain of rights and lefts de-
