fiGHT WENT TWENTY ROUNDS
Was Awarded to Johnson on Points After Moran Had Been the Agqres- sor All the Way-Bie Crowd of Notables See the Fight.

fafls, June 2l.-Jack Johnson still holds the heavy weight championship of the world.
 In a hard-fought battle at the Veo- drome d-Hiyer here tonight the negro easily deefated Frank Moran of Pittsburg on points in a twenty round contest Moran was game and stubborn, and did most of the leading. and made many friends.
 Johnson's superior skill and his ef- fectiye upper-cuttiEg wore down his opponent and won the fight, which at times seemed amateurish.
 Terrific uppercuts, on which John son relied ill many previous battles, were brought into play on his young opponent, who was unable effectively to block them. They repeatedly were sent to Morans jaw when he least expected them and several times the Pittsburger was sent wabbling, but there was not a single : knock down or anything that looked like a finishing blow. At the close Moran's face was bleeding from cuts on the nose and under the left eye Johnson showed no marks.
 Towards the middle of the contest sit appeared as if Moran would not go the twenty rounds, but he kept driv- ing Although he reached the negro. his blows lacked force and were com paratively. ineffective. Now and then he tried to land hard on his ad- versaTy but swung wildly through space. Moran took his punishment well, and part of the time the negro toyed with him when he saw he could do so without danger.
 Towards the end Johnson had the Pittsburger at his mercy. Moran was apparently fearful and cung to Johnson's body for support, at the same time trying to land, but without success. His manner of fighting and holding in the last half of the contest caused unfavorable comment. The tactics of Johnson on seevral occa- sions brought a caution from the referee and jeers from the crowd.
 Many French spectators, who seemingly did not understand boxing. voiced their objection to infighting but cheered resounding harmless whacks
