JACK JOHNSON IS THE UNDIS-
PUTED CHAMPION OF THE WORLD

writer and sporting expert, declared
ter fight against Johnson and that the
black man was only playing with JEFF
fries. 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-
fense. A series OF right and left up
percuts. delivered at will. sent him
staggering to the ropes. He turned
and fought back by instinct and be-
cause he was dying hard With the
exception of a few rounds, the fight
was tame. Jefferies 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. Before this stage came. JEFF
fries could not reach the black. The
blows almost all landed with the
speed taken out OF them. 1t was like
hitting a punching bag.
The Jeffries' crouch was in evidence
at times. but during most OF the fight
he fought standing straight and work
ing with something of his old aggres-
siveness.
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 Iightning-like left
and right blows to the jaws. Jeffries
reeled and fell half way through the
ropes on the west side of the ring.
Those under him saw that he had lost
his sense of surroundings and that the
faces at the ringside were a blur to
him. His time had come. He was feel
ing what he caused others to feel in
his youth
Johnson came over to the spot and
stood poised over his adversary, his
body ready for left hook II Jeffries
regained his feet.
Jim Corbett, who had twice gone
down before Jeffries' blows and who
had stood in Jeffries corner all dur
ing this fight telling Johnson what
fool he was. and how he was in for
the beating OF his life, now, ran for
ward with outstretched arms crying:
"Oh. don't Jack. don't hit him"
Jeffries painfully raised himself to
his feet His jaw had dropped, his
eyes were nearly shut and his face
was colored with blood. With tremb-
ling legs and shaking arms he tried to
put up a defense. but he could not
stop terrific right smash in the jaw.
followed by the left hooks. He went
down again. Jeffries' other friends
jumped into the ring.
Stop IT, they cried. Don't put the
old fellow out"
Sam Berger. Jeffries' manager, ran
along the ring calling to Bob Arm
strong: Bring that towel - you
know what mean-don't let him get
/ 1t. From Johnson's corner his sec
onds were calling to him to quit. Then
the referee stopped the timekeeper and
1t was all over.

the man who never was brought to his
knees before by blow, tonight pass
ed into history as broken ideal He
met utter defeat at the hands OF the
black champion.
While Jeffries was not actually
counted out, he was saved from this
crowning humiliation only by his
friends pleading with Johnson not to
hit the fallen man again, and the tow
ell was brought into the ring from his
corner. 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
from dozen cuts on the face. One
eye was black and colored, his fea-
lures were bruised and swollen and
he held his head in his hands. daxed
and incoherent. Johnson walked out
of the ring without a mark on his
body except slight cut on his lip
which was the opening of wound re-
ceived in training.
Ring experts agree that It was not

plain that the undefeated one was
weakening and being outclassed at ev-

After the eleventh 1t was hopeless.
1t was the most convincing demon
stration the ring has ever seen of the
failure of a 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 re-
viled Johnson was like black pan
ther. beautiful in his alertness and
defensive tactics. Jeffries fought by
instinct it seemed. showing his game
ness 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 keep boring in
and in until he landed the knockout
blow was gone.

ed his opponent almost as a joke. He
