WILLARD KNOCKS
OUT JOHNSON IN
TWENTY-SIxTH
Kansas Cowboy Wins Heavyweight
Championship Of World by De-
feating Negro in Havana
Ring.
BLACK TIRES TOWARD THE LAST
Forces Battle in Early Rounds, but
Is Unable to Keep Up Pace
Against Giant White.
SMOKE SAYS BEST MAN VICTOR

HAVANA. April 5.-Jack John
son. exiied from his own country, to-
day lost his claim to fistic fame as
the heavyweight champion of the
world, the title being wrested from
him by Jess willard, the Kansas
cowboy, the biggest man who ever
entered the prize ring.
Today's fight probably has no
parallel in the history of ring battles.
For twenty rounds johnson
punched and pounded willard at will.
but his blows grew perceptibly less
until at last he seemed unable OF un-
willing to go on.
johnson stopped leading and for
three or four rounds the battle be-
tween the two huge men was little
more than Q series Of plastic poses
of white and black gladiators.
Besanzang Of End.
So II was until the twenty-fifth
round, when willard got one of his
widely swinging windmill right hand
smashes to Johnsof's heart. This
was the beginning Of the end.
When the round closed, johnson sent
word to his wife that ne was ell in ana
told her to start for home. She was on
the way out and was passing the ring
in the twenty-sixth round. when a sting
ing left TO the body and a 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 willards hand
in token Of his newly won iaurels.
There - much discussion tonight and
probably VIII be for long time. among
the followers OF the fighting game as
to whether johnson was really knocked
out. In the sense Of being smashed into
inconsistencies, he certainly was not put
out
Knew He Was Beaten.
The cenccnsus Of opinion Is that john
son expected and knew that there was no
hope Of his winning; so when knocked
down, he chose to take the count rather
than rise and stand further punishment
johnson has often stated that fighting
Is business and he would not foolishIv
submit to repeated knocks downs when
he found he had met his master. A
second or two after jackson Welsh. the
referee, had counted ten. johnson quickly
got up. It was well that he did so, FOR a
moment later a rush of spectators 10 the
fighting platform all but smothered the
pugs.
For an instant It seemed as II trouble
was Threatened. but. some fifty or more
of the several hundred soldiers stationed
eoout the fight arena. jumped into the
ring and formed circles around the van
quished and victorious.
Under escort OF the soldiers willard and
Johnson left the ring and went TO their
dressing rooms. while the crowd cheered
and broke into wild discussion.
The Knockout came so suddenly that the
big crowd seemed as much dazed as John
son himself. Up to the time Of the final
blow johnson showed but few marks OF
battle, but had slowed UP and was per-
ceptihly firing. Willard said, as he was
being escorted away. that he was never
hllrt or In danger at any time.
johnson said he had no excuse TO offer.
and that "a better and younger man had
Z taken the championship titIe.''
