Leonard Stops
Negro Fighter
In First Round
By Fred Hawthorne

Beating his man down with furious
battery Of right and left hooks to the
jaw and body, Benny Leonard, light
weight champion of the world, had Leo
Johnson, the negro challenger for the
title. in such helpless condition AZ
the Harlem Sporting Club last night
that the referee stopped the bout after
the first round had gone l minute and
80 seconds.
Johnson was dazed from the time
Leonard sent over the first blow TO the
jaw. The champion went at the negro
so fierccly that Johnson never had a
chance to get of The ropes He started
the fight with his back against the
strands, and when Kid Mcfarland
waved Leonard away from his beaten
victim Johnson was hanging to the
lower rope and vainly trying to regain
his feet.
Seeing that his work was over for
the evening, Benny walked across the
ring and aided Mcfarland in lifting
Johnson to his feet.
Big Crowd at Bout
The largest crowd that ever shoe
horned its way into the clubhouse was
swelterlng for full hour before Leon
ard and Johnson entered the ring. Late
corners with tickets never had
chance to get near the doors. II was
figured that the gate" was about
$4,000.
Leonard's weight was announced at
1873 pounds. He looked all OF that, while
Johnson came in at 1870.
The bout opened with surprise for
everybody. Johnson was the first to
lead, and with long left he deliberate
ly rubbed his glove across the top of
Benny's head. Leonard's hair had been
"mussed" for the first time since he
won the title.
But Leo paid dearly for his fun.
Benny rushed the negro TO the ropes
and began shooting over Earring right
and left hooks to the jaw. John
son tried 70 ward off the blows By
crossing his gloves in front of his face,
but the champion got through with
deadly wallops.
Johnson slipped nervously along the
ropes, with Leonard in pursuit. Get
ting the negro in the latter's corner,
Benny fought sayagely, until Johnson,
dazed and weakened, turned his back
and grabbed at the ropes as he fell TO
the floor on Bonded knee. Then came
the end.
