knock Willard out and was trying to
get the decision on points at the end
of the forty-five rounds. Willard
shook the negro with a right to the
heart. He then clipped johnson on
the jaw with a fast left and started
forcing the pace. Johnson was con-
serving every bit of his energy. Will

and then repeated it. johnson stepped
around backwards at the bell and
dropped heavily into his seat.
Round 26

A BIG CROWD OUT
Several Thousand Heard State
Journals Bulletins.
Even Women Came Down
Town for the Events.

A crowd of several thousand people
gathered in front of the State Journal
office to receive reports of the big
prize fight today. 1t was a mixed
crowd. representing practically every
walk in life. Besides those standing
there were automobiles and carriages
in which were many women. Police
men had difficulty in keeping the
street open for the passing of cars.
The crowd began gathering at 1880
o'clock. A half-hour later there were
several hundred patiently waiting for
the first Associated Press reports, al
though by local time the fight was not
scheduled to begin until 1890 o'clock.
The sympathy of the crowd seemed
to be with Willard and anything in
the bulletins favorable to him brought
forth lusty cheering. g. w. Crews,

BOTH GRIN AS THEY FIGHT
When Contest Was Half Com
pleted Pugs Only Laughed.
Punishment Didn't Seem to In
lure Their Ability.

Ringside, Havana, April s.
Jess Willard, the Kansas cow
boy, is the new heavyweight
champion pugilist of the world.
He knocked out Jack Johnson,
the black champion, in the 26th
round of the championship bout
herr today The knockout was Z
terrific right swing to Johnson's s
jaw.
It was Johnson's fight all the
way until the twentieth round,
when his vitality left him be-
cause of the hard pace which he
carried throughout the early
rounds.
Then the giant plainsman
opened his heaviest attack and
in the next few rounds carried
the fight away from the black
man and toppled him over with
rights and lefts to the body and
blows to the face.
Seventeen thousand persons
saw the combat and when John
son crumpled up on the floor
from a fierce right swing to the
jaw, the crowd burst into the
ring. Soldiers cleared the ring.
Johnson took the referees
count while lying on the ropes,
but the moment after Referee
Welsh had given the decision the
former champion got to his feet
in time to escape the wild rush
of excited spectators.
The knockout came so sudden
ly the big crowd seemed as much
dazed as johnson himself. Up
to the time of the final blow,
Johnson showed but few marks
of the battle, but had slowed up
and was perceptibly tiring. Will
lard said as he was being escort
ed away, that he was never hurt
or in danger at any time.
Johnson said he had no excuse
to offer and that better and
younger man had taken the
championship title.
Round 4.
johnson feinted and landed his left
on Wizards jaw. Repeated upper
cuts with right to Wizards jaw The
latter was very nervous. Johnson was
laughing. Willard drove two lefts to
the negro's body. Johnson drove to
Wizards body.
Round =.
johnson easily blocked Willard S
leads, feintiI him out of position and
scoring right and left to jaw. Will
lard replied with thrashing right to
the negro's body. Johnson hooked
left to the stomach johnson then
landed three lefts to the body Will

willard to the ropes with a tattoo of
lefts to the face.

booths must be working all the time
if congestion and the inconvenience of
having to wait for chance to vote
are to be avoided. Persons who can
vote in the morning should do so.
Many men who work will vote during

Stay at Home Vote.
Today, the last day before the city
election, finds all candidates in
scramble to bring out the stay-at-

votes which went to their unsuccessful
opponents in the primaries. There
were 5,646 more persons registered
than voted at the primary election.

stay-at-homes, 70 per cent of the total
registered vote was caSt-as large a
vote as is usually cast at an election
indicating that interest in the pri-
maries was greater than surface signs
showed.
That an unusually large vote will be
cast tomorrow is probable, for since
the primary election systematic work
has been done to locate those persons
who failed to vote then and to see that
they go to the polls tomorrow.
Weather conditions have a bearing
