 Nothing Eui Nerve
CBy Associated l-rcss)

NEW YOFK. July . Sandwiched in between those two famous ex- .amples of lop-sidedness-th David. Goliath and Dempsey-Willard en. counters-was another short and uu- even battle in' which James J. Jef, ries whipped Jack Munroe. Nun. roe aspired to become heavyweight champion in 1904. but when he was pitted against Ieffries the aspiration appeared to be his strongest claim to chance at the honor.
 Early in the second round the referee thought Munroe had learned his lesson and held up Jeffries' palm.
 The fighters met in San Francisco on August 26. Munroe defended himself for few seconds by raising his gloves above his head He made several rushes but they fell short of their objective. Jeffries then knocked him down for six counts.
 Rising, Munroe's stomach collided with left-hand punch and again he went down, remaining there for seven counts. As soon as he got up. lief. fries toppled him over a third time Monroe settled on his launches, his head wobbly, but arose before the last count. He clinched and the bell saved him.
 The second round had no sooner opened than he fell once more with a new sore spot Even then he could not break himself of the habit of coming back for more This time Jeffries stabbed his left into Nun. roes weary ribs, and the challenger draped himself over the champions arm. Then the referee called a halt,

thrashed Jack Root in 12 rounds at Reno. Nev.
 With Hart the championship was an easy come, easy go bit of property. He promptly lost it on February 23. 1906, to Tommy Burns, a Canadian. in a 2O-round fight at Los Angeles. Burns remained in front of the pack of pugilists for almost three years. In that time he was successfully defend. eel his title against Philadelphia Jack OBrien, whom he defeated in 20 rounds, and Bill SQuircs of Australia. who stood up only two minutes and eight seconds
 During all this time big strap ping negro, John Arthur Johnson. had been knocking pugilistic people right and left and, in his off moments. en- deavoring to get crack at the cham. pion. But the champion always had some excuse. Johnsons manager tra'led Burns around the United States and over to England. bu, could not get him to meet ,he former cotton jammer from Galveston. In. daunted, he kept on the trail of Burns and finally cornered him in Australia, where match with "Lil Artha" was arronuoJ

nor anything that smacked of a fn- ishing blow. Johnson's superior skill and his inCessant uppercutting kept Moran in subjection Moran's attack lacked the power of his adversary.
 The crowd was as cosmopolitan as Paris itself. There were barons and dukes at the ringsidc. and carls and duchesses, too. Sporting men of many nations, clad in the formal evening garb with which Europe honors Us boxers, were part of the throng.
 Johnson was proud of his victory, for it was the first time that a cham pion as old as he had ever defended his title and won. He was then 36 years old, Morans senior by almost decade.
 The referee of the fight was Geor- ges Carpenter, who now aspires to become heavyweight chompion by whipping Dempsey.

Ring History Of Two Bras
(By Associated press)

NEW YORK, July 2.-The history of the modern prize ring, generally considered to have started with the defeat of Paddy Ryan by John L. Sullivan at Mississippi City, Miss, February ', 1882, may be divided roughly into two eras. The first, 20 years in length, ended when lief. fries stopped Bob FiZsimmons for the second time on July g, 1902, at San Francisco. Jeff" having beaten all logical contenders was starting down the list for the second time. prepar- atory to retiring and handing the title to Marvin Hart.
 Sullivan's reign" lasted 10 years, during which the Boston boy" de- tended his title in two major bouts His memorable 75-round battle with Jake Kilrain was the last champion ship contest fought in America with bare knuckles. This fight one of the most bitter in the history of the American ring, was preceded about a year by Sullivan's 39-round draw with Charley Mitchell at Chan. lilly, France.
 Then Ruby" Bob Fitzsimmons loomed up. "Fitz" met Corbett at Carson City, Ney., on March F, 1897, and Corbett's supremacy was at an end. The heyday of Fitzsimmons, too, was comparatively short He met James J. Jeffries in a Coney Island ring on June g. 1899, and a new champion was enthroned who

Willard at Best as Circus Performer
dBy Associated Press)

NEW YORK, July 2.--,After Jess Willard won the heavyweight cham pion of the world he became q circus performer.
 l9l, he fought 10 rounds with Frank Moran at Madison Square Garden and won a popular decision. Moran fol- lowing his defeat by Johnson. had trimphed over Jim Coffey, another aspirant for the championship. and was considered eligible for a crack at the title holder.
 He was no match for the Kansan giant, who outweighed him almost so pounds. Willard allowed the chal. lenger to do the leading but Moran could not inject sufficient punitive power in his blows to even leave a scratch upon his big opponent.
 In manner of speaking, Willard whipped Moran with one hand. and in a literal manner, too The forefinger Of his right hand was broken in the. third round in collision with Nor ans elbow and after that only the left fist was of much use to him. With that alone he could not knock out his opponent, so the last round ended just as Pollyanna would have wished. No one had been hurt and both men were gread deal wealthier than be. fore they met.
 Willard salted away the s47.5O0 which came to him from the purse and went back to the circus unworried by what the future held in store.

Ketchel Was Picked
 As First White Hope
IN NssocIated Hrcssl

NEW YORK, July 2.-Anybody who wasn't afraid of Jack Johnson and who packed stinging wallop in either fist was known as a white hope after the Texas negro became heavyweight champion of the world The first important white hope to tackle Johnson was Stanley Ketcnei whose triumphs had been among middleweights.
 He was no match for the powerful, Johnson, who knocked him out in F rounds at Colma. Cal. Oct. l5, 1909 Ketchel weighed only TIT pounds while Johnson's total displacement was 19S pounds.
 Only once in the F rounds was there an opportunity for the Michi gan fighter to win. This was just q moment before the finish when Ketchel sent the champion to the floor with left swing to the jaw Johnson toppled over on his back and made several attempts to rise before he succeeded. Whether he was purposely staying down for a rest, no one ever learned.
 Seeing that Johnson appeared daZed Ketchel rushed at the negro as soon as he arose. Johnson calm i. right and then a left against the challenger's jaw. These terrific swats not only sent Ketchel sprawling on his back, but their force overbal- anced Johnson and he, too, fell down Both men were on the floor when the referee began calling the seconds Johnson go. up, but Ketchel re- mained prostrate and was counted out

Corbett's s Ambition Was Long Lived
By Associated prcss)

NEW YORK, July 2.-Jim Cor bett's ambition continued to function long after Bob Fitzsimmons took the heavyweight championship away from him. His desire to regain the lost laurels got him into a peck of trouble, the trouble being furnished by James J. Jeffries.
 Jeffries was the champion and Corbett, who had relnquished the honor six and q half years before. bucked up against the battling black. smith with heavy odds against him
 It was one-sided fight. staged in Mechanics pavilion at San Fran cisco on August 14, 1903. Jeffrics with his 225 pounds subdued his lS5-pound adversary in the 10th round. the challengcr's seconds throwing the sponge into the ring while their hero was being counted out
 It was not the first time Corbett had bowed before Jerrries In the fourth round he was topplcd to the floor under an onslaught of rights and lefts and again in the sixth there was coutcct between his knees and the carpet for nine counts.
 The blow which finally settled Corbctts aspirations was a fearful one. jammed against his stomach with tremendous force
 There was much sympathy with Corbett's effort to come back. He had been a popular champion in spite of many reversals.
 In or out of the ring Corbett had an agreeable personality which won for him many friends and the well. known title Gentleman Jim"
