These facts are recited here Just to
show that Johnson four years ago was

fore, went up against Fitzpatrck's col

couple of rounds. Yet this achieve
ment didn't convince the conservative
critics that Johnson was nrst-class
heavyweight. On the contrary Johnson
was termed -four -husher" for picking
out the freckled Cornishman for an easy
mark
There was no general comment when
Johnson stopped one Kid Cutler, a pupil
of John L. Sullivan, in about three wal
Tops. but there was a storm of severe
criticism when the big negro allowed
Sailor Burke. a middle-weight. to stay
six rounds with him In what was appar-
emily a barefaced fraud. in the city Of
Bridgeport Johnson knocked Burke
down a dozen times, while sure-thing
