JOHNSON'S finish
ABOUT DUE
OF ALL MODERN CHAMPIONS. suL-
LIvAN ALONE HELD THE
BELT LONGER

Kansas City, July Paddy Ryan
in 1880 won the heavyweight ring title
from Joe Goss in an s9-round battle
fought in West Virginia. Great Am
erican interest in the prize ring prac-
tically dates from the advent of John
L. Sullivan who met Ryan February z,
1882, at Missippi City. Miss, and de-
feated him in nine rounds.
From then on Sullivan rules su-
preme with the possible exception of
the Mitchell fight which ended in a
draw. This battle was fought March
10. 1883, in France, and was called a
draw by mutual agreement. This was
fought outdoors in the rain.
James ]. Corbett won the coveted
title from John l.. Sullivan September
Z, 1892, knocking the old champion out.
Sullivan held the title ten years and
seven months. Corbett held it four
years and seven months, or until he
"oS hHoCh0u ouI ny DOU rlLz5lIuuOnS,
March II, 1897, at Carson City.
Fitz held the crown two years and
three months, when he was knocked
out by Jim Jeffries, June 9, 1889, at
Coney Island, N. Y. Jeffries held the
honors nearly six years, when, he,
finding no worthy competition, retired,
turning the title over to Marvin Hart,
corqueror of Jack Root
Hart took the title July 8, 1905, and
lest it soon after to Tommy Burns,
February 23, 1906, at Los Angeles.
Burns put up a strong list of battles
till he ran against Jack Johnson, De-
cember 26, 1908, and lost the cham
pionship to the negro in Australia.
Burns thus held the top seat for nearly
three years. Johnson held to the title
despite efforts of many promoters to
find white hope capable of taking it
away from him. His best known fight
wah with Jeffries, July 4, 1910. at
Reno, New, when he knocked Jeffries
out. Johnson has held the title six
years and six months.

AMERICAN GIRL WEEDS IN LONDON

London, July 2.-London society,
particularly the aristocratic Catholic
element, was interested today in the
wedding of Miss Hope e. Warren,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Schuyler N
Warren of New York, and Robert Will
berforce Cardinal Bourne offciated
at the marriage ceremony, which took
place at Brompton oratory. The bride
groom belongs to one of the most dis
tinguished Catholic families in Eng
land, among its members being no
fewer than four bishops of the church.
MIR. Wilberforce himself, according to
a story told among his friends, had
predictions for the church and had
gone to Rome with the intention of
joining the Dominican Friars. But be-
fore he had carried his intentions in
to effect he met his fate in the person
of Miss Warren, who was staying in
Rome with her parents at the time.

DEMOCRATS OF
OLD School
Desert
STANDARD BEARERS OF PAST
YEARS SLIPPING QUIETLY
INTO REPUBLICAN RANKS

Santa Fe, July 2.-The resignation
of Charles R. Easley from the demo
cratic state central committee, with
the announcement that Ascension
Rael, candidate for the legislature on
the democratic ticket last time, had
decided to cast his lot with the re-
publican party, following the example
of such progressives as John Baron
Burg, Jesus Romero and others, is
taken as an indication that the rift
in the lutte of democratic harmony is
widening, Easley is said to have re-
signed so that his arms might have
greater freedom in welding the toma-
hawk on the scalp of Congressman H.
B. Ferguson on November 3.
The Chaves county primaries have
been called for August and the
county convention for August IL
There, too, as in Eddy county, the
young Hottentots will put up stiff
fight to oust the old guard.
That the demand of the Spanish
Americans for recognition will be as
strong in the democratic state con-
vention as among the republicans is
certain 1t is pointed out that San
Miguel county cast heavier vote for
Mcdonald than did Chaves, Berna-
lilo more than twice as many votes
as Eddy; Taos more than Curry, Rio
Arriba $50 more than Roosevelt, San
doval more than Luna, Mora twice as
many as Otero, Socorro almost twice
as many as San Juan, Santa Fe 25O
more than Quay, and thus all along
the line, more than one-half the bal
lots that elected Mcdonald governor
were cast by Spanish Americans,
while the proportion of Spanish Amer
lean votes for H. o. Bursum was less
than the votes cast for him by others.
