Paris, June 27.-Jack Johnson still holds the heavyweight championship of the world.
 In hard fought battle at the Vet odrome D'Hiver here tonight the negro easily defeated Frank Moran of Pitts burg on points in a 2o-round contest. Moran was game and stubborn. He did most of the leading and made many friends.
 Johnson's superior skill and his ef- fective uppercutting wore down his opponent and won the fight, which at times seemed amateurish.
 Terrific uppercuts on which Johnson had relied in many previous battles again were brought into play on his young adversary, who was unable eff Actively to block them. They repeat edly were sent to Moran's jaw when he least expected them and several times with such force that the Pittsburger was sent wabbling, but there was not A single knockdown 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. Toward the middle of the contest II appeared as if Moran would not go the 20 rounds. but he showed courage and kept driving. Although he landed A number of times on the negro, hif blows lacked force and were compar- atiyely ineffective. Now and then he tried to land hard on his adversary hut only swung wildly through space
 Moran took his punishment well ane part of the time the negro toyed witf | him when he saw he could do so without danger.
 Towards the end Johnson had the Pitts burger at his mercy. Moran apparently feared he would be finished and chung tt

 In other cities automobilists are not bothered with these numerous nuisances. One or two officers could easily overlook tho cars and see that no damage comes to them The greatest service the manage ment could afford the fans who motor to the park would be to eradicate the parking space of these youngsters and see that the autos be watched during the games and thereby prevent promis- cuous and malicious mischief among the camp followers" and mischievous youngsters.
 In other cities the baseball parks have similar parking space and the cars are overlooked with out additional cost or trouble. No greater service could be rendered automohilists than the riddance of the numberless kids and nuisances surrounding Rickwood.
