BLACK TIRES TOWARD THE LAST

Forces Battle in Early Rounds, but

Is Unable to Keep Up Pace

. Against Giant White.

KIOKE SATS BEST MAN VICTOR

HAVANA, April 5. Jack Jclm

?n. e.xil'4 from bin own country, to

day lost bis claim to fistic fame as

the heavyweight champion of the

world, the title belnr wrested from

htm by Jess Wlllard,' the Kansas

eqwboy, the biggest man, who ever

entered the prize ring.

Today's fight probably has no

parallel in the history of ring battles.

For twenty rounds Johnson

punched and pounded Wlllard at will,

oat ui blows grew perceptibly less

until at last be seemed unable or un-

willing to go on.

1 Johnson stooped 'leading and for

! three or four rounds the battle be

tween the two huge men was little

more tha series of plastic poses

of white and Hack gladiators.

VadrtecrlaeT mt Bad."

So it vm the twenty-fifth

round, wbes 'Wlllard got one of his

widely swinging windmill right hand

smashes to Johnson's heart. This

was the beginning: of the end.

When tb round dosed, Johnson sent

word to hia wife that he was all In and

told her to start for horn. She waa on

the war -out and was passing the ring

In the twenty-sixth round, when a ting

ing left to the body and a cyclonic- right

to the Jaw oaueed Johnson to crumple

on the floor of the ring, where he lay.

partly outside the ropes, until the referee

counted ten arid held up Willard'a hand

la token of hia newly won laurels.

'There Is much discussion tonight and

probably wOl be for a long time, among

the followers of the. fighting garae M

to whether. Johnson waa really knocked

out. In the sense -of being smashed into

unconsciousness, he certainly Was not put

out t

'" ' Knew Be Waa Beatea.

The concensus of opinion la that John

aon expected and knew. that there waa no

hope of. bis winning; so when knocked

' down, he oheoe to take the count rather

than rise and stand further punishment.

Johnson has often stated that fighting

, la( a businesa and he would not foolishly

submit to repeated knocks downs when

he found be had met hi master. A

second or two after Jackson Weigh, the

referee, had counted ten, Johnson quickly

got up. It waa well that he did so, for a

moment later a rush of spectators to tho

fighting platform all but smothered the

pugs. '

For an Instant It seemed as If trouble

. was threatened, but some fifty or more

j of the several hundred soldiers stationed

rbout .the fight arena, jumped Into the

ring and formed circles around the van

quished and victorious.' -,

Under eaoort of the soldiers Wlllard and

Johnson left the ring and went to their

dressing rooms, while the crowd cheered

and broke Into wild discussion.

The knockout came so suddenly that the

big crowd seemed aa much daied aa John

aon himself. Vp to the time of the final

blow Johnson showed but few marks of

battle,, but had slowed up and waa per

ceptlbly tiring. Wlllard said, as he was

being escorted away, that he waa never

hurt or In danger at any time.

Johnson said he had no excuse to offer,

and that "a better and younger man had

taken the championship title." .
