| jeff was semi-conscious. Jeff
toppled through the ropes, his
legs hanging over the lower
strand. The timekeeper tolled off
the fatal ten, but in the excite
ment the seconds evidently did
not hear him and when Jeff arose
they sent him after johnson. The

Jeff over.
Richard at this juncture caught
johnson and showed him to his
corner.
In the turmoil following the
knockdown several of Jeffs
friends jumped into the ring at
the moment when johnson had
once more hurled himself in a
last effort, although then de-
clared winner. And when Rick
ard placed his hand on johnson
the moment Jeff went down for
the third time, the impression pre-
vailed that Jeff's seconds had pur-
posely lost for him by jumping
into the ring. but Richard de-
clared that Jeff was fairly out on
the second knockdown.
When jeff was led to his cor
ner he was heartbroRen, and It
took several minutes to bring him
to a state that would permit him
Ito climb through the ropes.
