Former Champ,
Ate In Camden
Jack JoknaoB, the tint world’i col
wed heavywelflit boxing champion
ate a leUurely breakfast at tbe
Frances Hart restaurant on South
Broad street here on the morning of
Monday, June 10. Less than twelre
hours later Johnson was dead, suc
cumbing to Injuries received ih an
auto accident near Frankllnton, N.
_€., late in the afternoon.
When Johnson stopped In Camden
he was accompanied by Fred L Scott,
a.well known colored heavyweight
fighter. Johnson asked to be directed
to a colored restaurant and with
Scott went to the Francis Hart place.
Here tbe two ate a big breakfast,
chatting with those In the place and
finally pulling out later for New York.
Johnson and Scott had been on a per>
sonal appearance tour in Texas.
Johnson’s white wife, who resides
in Chicago, when notified of the ac
cidental death of the former world
title holder, directed that his body be
sent to Chicago.
Jack Johnson became world’s
heavyweight champion in 1908 when
he defeated Tommy Burns of Canada
in 14 rounds at Sydney, Australia. In
1916 he lost the crown to Jess Wll-
lard in Havana after a battle that
ever since has been a source of argu
ment. After Johnson had Inflicted
terrific punishment on Willard, the
latter won by a knockout in the
twenty-sixth round. Pictures of the
fight later showed Johnson shading
his eyes from the hot Cuban sun
with his gloved right hand while be
ing counted out.
