SHORT SKEH OF LIFE HISTORY OF THE
PRIEALS in FOURTH OF JULY FIGHT
JACK JOHNSON.

Jack Johnson was born March 81,
1873. at Galveston, Texas. He took to
the boxing game at an early age. His
early most important fight was with
Joe Choynski in Texas, when both
were jailed by an angry sheriff. He
was one of the best fighters in Texas
long before the world had heard of
him. Jack Johnson stirred the fight
world by his pursuit of Tommy Burns.
He left London in. 1908 for Australia,
where Hugh Mcintosh matched the
pair for the worlds heavyweight
championship ring battle. The men
met Dec. 26, 1908, at Sydney, New
SoNth Wales Australia, and Johnson
won in fourteen rounds the title which
later brought on the match with James
J. Jeffries.
The men were matched in New York
and the battle was formally awarded
to Oakland, Cal, where 1t was planned
to hold it in the race-track there. Quar-
reling over the referee job drove the
men from there to San Francisco.
Governor Gillett of California in turn
drove the fighters from there to Reno,
where the Nevada law permits finish
fights upon payment of a license fee.
