Jim Jeffries was not actually
knocked down and out by Jack John
son. In fact, as referee l did not
count h m out-made no count at
all.
This statement is made in answer
to several requests I have had to
tell just how Jack Johnson knocked
out Jeffries on that memorable
Fourth of July in Reno. =. ..
The end came after it was very
apparent that Jim Jeffr.es was
beaten. Johnson was entirely too
clever for him and seemed to have
more physical strength. Jack was
gradually wearing the big fellow
down and had him webbing about
the ring. In the twelfth round, after
Jeffries had been knocked down and
laid up against the ropes and had
showed that he had no more chance
of winning Sam Berger jumped in
the ring. ..
That's enough" he said to me
TEX CATCHES JoHNsoN's ARM.
Just as he said it Johnson had
drawn back for final blow and I
caught his arm. That was the end
of the fight. Jeffries was on his
feet. It was scored. technical
Knockout of course. In few min
utes Johnson would have had him
out. Sam Berger was very wise and
sensible in stopping it when he did.
For me the end Of that famous
fight was a great relief. My job Of
refereeing had been no trouble at
ali. The men fought clearly, and
there was little for me to do except
keep them at it. 80.
The greatest relief, though. WAS
that the fight at last, had been
successfully pulled off. I knew 1t
was a financial success before We
entered the ring. Hundreds OF those
holding tickets for the fight in San
Francisco had exchanged their tick
cts for seats at Reno. The arena
was full. .. ..
JEFFRIEs MAKES MISTAKE.
At the very start of the fight.
Jeffries made the mistake OF trying

to box with Johnson. The darby
was entirely too clever for him. In
the first round however, Johnson
was extremely cautious. He tented
around to be sure of his ground.
For three minutes, he took. no
chances whatever. Johnson was
very clever ring general. He was
trying to see how far he could go.
When Jeffr.es tried to box him, Jack
began to grin. .. :.

remarks in my direction.
Wanted to Fight Corbett, Too

| told Corbett to come on in the
ring, mat 1 would take him on, too.
At the same time l was demonstrat-
ing that, contrary to Jim's dispar-
aging remarks, was putting over a
good, fast fight. l hit Jeff at will;
There was no place that was beyond
my reach, and l landed some stiff
jolts on him, but not as stiff as |
might have, for l really did not de-
sire TO punish him unnecessarily.
The cheering for Jeff never
ceased. Tie spectators urged him
on and gave him every possible en-
enlargement, but their cheering
turned TO means and groans when
they saw he was suffering as he was.
Clasps of Astonishment
There came up from the ringside

itv The great crowd cheered Jeff
ries for his grit and they pitied him
in his suffering, but they did not for
a moment lose their admiration for
him. AS for me, they learned that
| was not a gutter; they realized
that l had not entered into any
crcokednesS and that Little, Lang
ford and others who had swung much
of the betting against me had let
them in for a good trimming. How
ever. it was not enough that the fight
should be meritorious one and that
the best man had won on his worth
or that the entire mill had been clean
and square; the crowd was by no

His brain was working keenly, but
he found it almost impossible to get
through my defense, and at no time
did he hurt me. He landed on me
frequently, but with no effect. He
devoted his attention to fighting and
did not take much part in the run

Continued from last week.
At about this time Richard was
visiting me frequently, at which time
we talked Of how the campaign pre-
ceding the fight might be carried on,
i'm order that the public might learn
that | was training faithfully, was IN
good shape and that none of us had
any intention of fOoling the public.
These talks. into which Little was
not invited, made him insanely Jeal-
Gus and he became more ana more
bitter. He pretended to believe that
the talks between Richard and my
self concerned some crooked plan,
and accused me of many things.
Bore the Trades
I had borne all his TRADES patient
", believing that he did not mean all
he had said, but at this juncture l
felt | had to get rid of him. After
he left my camp / settled down to
real training and things went pleas
antly. Flanagan succeeded Little
as acting manager. The day of the
fight finally arrived. 1t was a beau
tiful one-superb weather, except
ing for the intense heat, was superb.
The atmosphere was as clear as
crystal, and one could see for miles.
More than $4,000 people had gath
cred to watch the fight, and as l
looked about me and scanned that
sea of white faces | felt the auspl-
ciousnass of the occasion.
Few Colored Men There
There were few men of my own
race among the spectators. l real
lied that my victory in this event
meant more than on any previous oc-
casion. 1t wasn't just the champion
shin that was at stake-it was my
own honor, and in degree the non
or Of my race. l was well aware Oh
all these things and | sensed that
most of that great audience was nos
tile to me. These things, while they
impressed me with the responsible
ties that lay upon me, did not dis
turb or worry me. l was cool and
perfectly at ease. | never had any
doubt of the outcome.
Wanted to Get Home
Outside of a contemplation for
moment OF the suspiciousness OF the
gathering, l was thinking for the
most part of getting home. That had
been my thought when | crawled
through the ropes, and as Fury was
tving on my gloves l saw IN the
audience the yardmaster, who had
charge of the special trains. l sent
Fmr< TO ask him to come and speak
to me. When ne did so, | told HIM
