FISTIC HISTORY

Tom Johnson defeated Bill Warr for the championship of England on this date in 17S7, and by this victory he was recognized as England's 8 great est fighting man. Johnson, whose real name was Thomas Jackling, was also acclaimed as the bruiser who had rescued the sport from the mire into which it had been trampled by his interruptions predecessors. The lov- CTS of boxing owe a debt of gratitude to Johnson, for the game was out lawed and practically dead when he came to the front and by his great ability and manly behavior aRoused new interest in the sport. Tom John sons most famous battle was that with the Birmingham giant, Isaac Perrins, which went sixty-two rounds 1 before Johnson was declared the vic- tor. In 1791 Johnson lost the title to Ben Brain, and never entered the ring again. In his latter years he was a boxing teacher in Cork, where he died in 1797, six years after his contest wiht Brain.
