Ueno, Nev.. July I. John Arlliitf
Johnson, a Texas negro, son of an
Anict'lean slave, tonight is Ihe Hist
undisputed henvywelghi champion
pugilist of (he world.
James .1. Jeffries, of California,
winner of (wonty-two championship
lighls. the man who never wan
brought to Ills Knees before by a
blow, (oulghl passed Into history as
a broken hlol. lie mei utter defeat
at the hand:' of the hlneh ehampioii
in the fifteen round.
While Jell ries was not actually
counted out. he was saved only front
this crowning shame I his friends
pleading with Johnson nol lo hi) the
fallen man again, anil the towel was
brought Into tho ring from his cor
ner. At the end of the lifted! round
liefen e Ton Klokard raised (lie lilnok
arm. and the great ? rowd liled out,
"linn and sib lit.
Jeffries was drugged to Iiis cor
ner, bleeding from nose and uiouth,
and a dozen cuts oil the lace. Ilo
had a black, closed 1 ! o, and swollen
features and he held his head in IllH
hands, dazed.
Johnson walked mn of Hie ring
without a ma i k on his body. e\cepl
a slight cut on bis lip \ liicli was Ilm
I 0|ioning of a wound suffered in train
, ing.
l?nt; experts agree that it was not
even a shampiouship 'Ight. .IcfTrlOH
had il chance In tho second round, per
haps, but nfter the sixth, it was plain
I that he was weakened and o'lt-elnsacd
in < very point. Af t< r the i lovonth
round it was hopeless.
It was (he greatest demons!ration
the ring has ever seen of the falluro
of a fighter to "come buck" nfter

Jeffries fought by ii ,; ict., ii sonin

great lighting heart in <?.' y round,
hut lie was only tin i-mII of his old
self The old power to take u torrlbio
beating and bore in until lie lauded
tin- knockout blow, was * one.
Treated Jeff as a Jake,
After the third round. Johnson
treated bis opponent almost as a joke
lie smiled and blocked playfully,
warding ofl the bearlike rushes of
Jeffries with a marvelous silence,
now tucking a blow under bis arm,
again plucking il out of the air as
a man strips a baseball.
Out of the sea of opinions and ar
guments that bolstered Up the tight
and made ii the (ulk ol the world,
these pinnacles of fact have been cast,
up:
The fight was on the square. Of
tha| there wa . no doubt nfter tho
first round.
There was no evidence oi hint of
the. famous '"yellow si reak" on fl o
