not tip the beam at more than 100.
II is estimated that the promoters
had an $4,000 house. The big
smoke was guaranteed $4,000 re-

Under the rules hitting in clinches
was permissible, and Johnson's abil-

gave him a decided advantage over
Moran.
As a championship fight 1t was
considered a farce At no stage of
the game did Moran have chance
