JESS WILLARD WINS BIG

Kansas Mans Youth Is Too Muei for

Havanr. April Jack Johnson, ex.

claim TO fistic fame as the heavy
weight champion of the world The
title was wrested from him by Jess
Willard, the Kansas cowboy. the big
gest man who ever entered a prize
ring. and white hope" who at last
has made good
Johnson returned to his rooms al
most Immediately after the fight
Aside from a cut lip he was I'M
marked
The fight probably has no parallel
in the history of ring battles For
20 rounds Johnson punched and
pounded Willard at win. but his
blows grew perceptibly less powerful
as the fight progressed, until at last
he seemed unable or unwilling to go
on.
Johnson stopped leading and for
three or four rounds the battle be-
tween the two huge men was little
more than a series of plastic poses Of
white and black gladiators.
So Il was until the twenty-fifth
round. when Willard got one Of his
widely swinging. windmill, right-hand
smashes at Johnson's heart. This was
the beginning of the end.
When the round closed Johnson
sent word TO his wife that he was "alI
in." and told her to start for home.
She was on the way out and was
passing the ring in the twenty-sixth
round when a singing left to the body
and cyclonic right to the jaw caused
Johnson to crumple on the floor of the
ring. where he lay partly outside the
ropes until the referee counted ten
and held up Wizards hand in token Of
his newly.won laurels.

Nets Win in Important cities.

VETS Win in important Cities.
Although the drys failed 10 dislodgs
the vets in the more important cities
in Wisconsin where there were con
tests. the election added a number of
smaller cities and villages to the
states dry territory.
The most spectacular fight was at
Superior, where vets won out by a
margin of only 127 votes in a total of
Sell At Madison the vets came
through with margin of 3O1, despite
the hottest campaign Of years to put
the states capital city in the dry col
umn. At Beloit the vets won with a
majority Of 239, a considerable in
crease over that at the last election.
Returns from all over the state in
dicate that the largest vote in the
history of Wisconsin was poIled on
the wet and dry issue. Reports show
that botE sides were better organized
than ever before. and nearly the full
vote tufnedAout.
Perhaps the greatest victory of the
drys was at Sparta, a city formerly
wet and which voted to do away with
saloons.
Statistics compiled from returns
showed that forty-one cities which
were dry voted to remain so. Sixty
three cities and towns voted to retain
saloons. Nineteen cities and towns
which were formerly wet were swung
into the dry columG, while only four
villages which we're dry went over to
the wet column.
All over the state the vote on the
license question was close, and in two
cases it was tie At Beloit the drys
had expected the result to be much
closer. The vets, on the other hand.
were given a scare at Superior. and
the result was much closer than was
expected by those who were following
the campaign closely. The result at
Madison was about as expected.
