 Children of the Ghetto is one of the most intensely human dramas the

again found the Birmingham giant stretched on the turf, although far from being hors du combat, as the French say. Twice more Johnson sent his opponent down. and the sptr- it's of the Birmingham men began t0 go down. They revived bit in t6e following round. when Perrins put ov- CT a. terrible blow to she jaw that sent the champion sprawling. Johnson was .-roggy and bfoody of nose when he cane u1 for the sixth. He soon recovered, however, and in the eighth landed a. blow that gave Perrins a black eye fc-- many days to come In the ninth the champion also acquired a bloody optic, and honors were even. I he thirteenth round was ended by a stiff right that laid open the Birming- ham mans cheek almost to the bone. Round after round passed, and found the battle now favoring one now the other of the combatants. In the df- ty-sixth Johnson went down before a smash that nearly put him out of commission It was a battered and weary champion that :toed the mark for the next round, but Perrins was he could barely Astagger from his cor ner. In the sixty-second both men were so worn that it was evident that whichever man succeeded in landing any sort of blow would be the vfc- tor. Johnson was the lucky man and although his final punch lacked steam. it served the purpose of put ting Perrins down and out Few heavyweights before or. since have men, and even his science might not have saved the champion had he not had more than his share of the lucky breaks of the contest

ANNIvERSARY OF ONE OF THE GREATEST BOUTS IN
 HISTORY OF THE RING.

Tomorrow will be the 123rd anniver- sary of one of the greatest bouts in the history of the pugilistic arena Tom Johnson, the champion fighter of England, defended his title against Isaac Perrins. The former was a Londoner. while Perrins hailed from Birnin gnan, and 8 good-natured ri- vaIry between the sporting men of the two cities added interest to the bout
 Several thousand spectators, from all over the island, assembled at Ban bury, in Oxfordshire, to witness the memorable encounter, and a great deal of money was wagered on the re- suit. The ring was pitched on the turf in a field. The Birmingham fol- lowers of Perrins were so confident that they offered two to one. Al though the champion was big fellow, standing five feet ten and weighing about 190 pounds, he seemed almost a dwarf beside the giant Perrins, six feet three and weighing 240 pounds. Brawn alone cannot win battles, how ever, as the Birmingham sports found to their sorrow. Even in the old bare fist. rough and tumble days, sciep ce was important, and experience, agility generalship and c1everneSs were all on the side of Johnson, although he was olltma tened in every other way. Af- ter a rattling interchange of blows
 Johnson landed on Perrins' ear, and the latter went down, ending the first round The end of the second inning.

 BUT DOESN'T SHOW CLASS
French Champion Would Be Mark For
 American Stars.

Charley L.edoux, the French bantam weight Champion. made his debut as a fighter in America by boxing ten rounds with Battling Reddy at the Fairmont A. C., N: F., last night. Ledoux won by a slight margin, but during the. ten rounds he failed to ship -calibre, and after the bout it was the concensus of opinion among the fstic fans that he would be shining mark for either champion Cou1on or Kid williams of Baltimore. Ledoux at the ringeide weighed IF 1-2 pounds and Reddy 116 pounds.
 The French champion did not dis play even the elementary parts of box ing He did not know how to utilize a punch. Neither did he know how to protect himself. He was aggressive snd strong and carried the fight to Reddy at all times, but he was as w.de open as a. barn door.
 It was only lredouxS persistent at tacks in the ninth and tenth rounds that earned him a slight advantage over Reddy. In these sessions he crashed Reddy to the ropes repeatedly.
