WILLARD WINS N 18TH
White Man Takes Championship Title
From Black Boxer in Terrific
Battle at Havana.

Ringside, Miramir Race Track, Ha-
rana, Cuba--Jess Willard. Kansas
cowboy. brought back to the white
race again Monday the worlds heavy
weight pugilistic championship. Thir-
;y-eight-year-old Jack Johnson went
down before one of the cowboys hay
makers in the twenty-si1th round.
The aS-year-oId boy who now holds
the title Of kingp!n OF the ring
astounded even his friends by his ring
generalship. Time and again he evad-
ed the crafty rushes of johnson,
known as the greatest exponent Of
boxing in the ring.
During the last few rounds of the
fight johnson weariad perceptibly. He
hung on tenaciously. The giant white
hope shook himself free as a bear
shakes loose an adversary. and con-
tinuaily pounded away. Up until al
most the last johnson kept his cum
ming. He laid traps. But the West
erner was wary.
There were very few tame rounds.
For the most part, the men mixed it
freely. 1t was a fight, all in all, that
delighted the crowd of about 1896
people
Pandemenium broke loose as Ref.
eree Welsh counted the numbers that
relegated Jack johnson to the beyond
and raised aloft the gloved hand o..
the new worlds champion. 1t was a
battle of youth against age IS
against 3S-and, just as Willard pre-
dicted, youth won.
1t was the kansan's famous left,
followed by quick right to the chin,
that knocked the negro cold and won
the cowboy the title. The blows
smacked out with dash of speed that
was bewildering. Almost before the
crowd at the ringside knew it, the
black man was down and out
Johnson went over like log. He
did not even try TO get up.

Deer Slaughter Totals Over Sill

The 1915 open season Tor deer closed
at shutdown Saturday evening and up to
Dec. 5, State Commissioned John w.
Titcomb had received reports of gill
deer killed. The commissioner stated
that he would not have complete returns
until the middle or latter part of the
week and he estimated that the total
number would probably exceed $500.
The largest number taken in any previ.
Gus season was 1857 in 1909, year
when the taking of both bucks and does
were lawful.
The deer reported killed this season
have almost been equally divided between
does and bucks
Commissioner Titcomb stated Satur-
day evening that he had received tele.
phone calls from all sections of the state
inquiring as to whether hunting would
be permitted on Monday. The law fixes
the open season for deer from November
Is to Dec. 5, inclusive, and as the final
day fell on Sunday, when hunting is not
permitted, many people believed an extra
day would be allowed. This is not the
case, however, the season having closed
Saturday night.
