Burns for Title in

Jack Johnson, the only Negro that
ever held the heavyweight champion
ship, got 1t as present from Santa
Claus on Christmas Day, 1908. He
didn't find it in his stocking, but in a
couple Of big boxing gloves that Tommy
Burns never forgot.
johnson met Burns nt Syndey, ~ 8.
W., and so thoroughly pummeled the
Canadians features that police jumped
into the ring during the fourteenth
round and put a stop to the punish
ment.
From the start the Negro battler led
the way. He foored Burns for nine
counts in the first round and sent him
to the canvas again in the second
round. but the champion bounded back
on his feet Immediately.
In the latter part Of the fight John
son rained rights and lefts upon the
face and body Of Burns, whose mouth
and eyes were badly distorted from the
shower of blows. A swollen jaw added
to his misery.
He was in no state Of mind to en-
JOY Johnson's humor. a characteristic
Of his race that never left the Negro,
even in his defeat years later. Always
he smiled and frequently he uttered
mock encouragement to the man he
was whipping. He talked continually

tack. the defiance ever softencd with
grin.
Now and then Johnson cast aside his
smile and attended strictly to business
1t was so in the fourteenth round al
Sydney. AS soon as his distressed op
ponent left his corner the Negro few
at him like a tiger and, using both
hands numerically, soon had the cham
pion tottering. The police then jumped
in and stopped the fight and the rcfere,
declared johnson the winner.
