NEWS OF THE SPORTING WORLD
JOHNSON THROUGH WITH
THE PRIZE RINC FOREVER
Former Champion Will Settle Down on
» Turn In France—The New Cham
pion Will Come Back to States to
' Beap Harvest
(Havana, April 6. —Jai-k Jo'hnson, ex
ile from his own country, yesterday lost
bis claim to fistic fame as the heavy
weight champion of the world, t'he title
being wrested from !him toy Jess Wil
led, the Kansas cowboy, the biggest
Bian who ever entered the prize ring
aad a "White hope'' who at last has
made good.
To-morrow Johnson, his wife and lit
tle group of friends will said for M&r
tiniqoc, there to await passage back to
France, where Johnson purposes settling
down and leading the life of a farmer*
raising .pigs and chickens. There is no
doubt that he is through with the ring.
Willard, who is being acclaimed as
the new -champion, is going 'back to the
United States to win the fortune which
was denied him yesterday, when John
son got $30,000 before the figjbt start
le, Willard taking only a small share
fcf the net receipts. Just "what iiis share
fcras is not known.
r Yesterday's light probably has no
parallel in the history of ring 'battles.
£or twenty rounds Johnson punched
tnd pounded Willard at will, but his
lows grew perceptibly less powerful as
file fight, progressed, until at last he
teemed unafble or unwilling to go on.
i, Johnson stopped leading, and for
J:hrco or four rounds the battle between
*lhe two huge men was little more than
series of plastic poses of white or
black gladiators.
So it was until the twenty-fiftii round
When Willard got one of his widely
Swinging windmill right-hand smashes
to Johnson's heart. This was the begin
ning of the end.
When t'he round closed Johnson sent
Word to his wife that he was all in and
lold her to start for home. She was on
the way out and was passing the ring
in the twenty-sixth round when a sting
ing left to the 'body and cyclonic right
lo the jaw caused Johnson to crumble
<in the floor of the ring, w'here he lay
partly outside the Hypes until the ref
eree counted ten and held op Willard's
band in token of his newly won laurels.
There was muvh discussion last night
and probably will 'be for a time,
among the followers of the fighting
game as to whether Johnson was really
knocked out. In the sense of being
smashed into unconsciousness, he cer
tainly was not put out.
The consensus of opinion is that
Johnson expected and knew that there
was no possibility of his winning, so
■when knocked down he chose to take
the count rather thau rise and stand
further punishment.
Joiiinson has often stated that fight
ing is a business and lie would not fool
ishly submit to repeated knockdowns
when he found he hud met his master.
A sooond or two after Jack Welsh, the
referee, had counted _ten Johnson got
up. It was well ttoat he did so, for a
moment later a rash of spectators to
the fighting platform all but smothered
♦lie {pugilists.
For an instant it seemed as if trou
ble was threatened, but some fifty or
more of the several hundred soldiers
stationed about the fight arena jumped
into the ring and formed circles around
the vanquished and victor.
Under escort of the soldiers Willard
And Johnson left the ring and went to
their dressing rooms, while t'he crowd
cheered and broke into wild discussion.
Willard was out of his dressing room
in a few moments and in an automo
bile on his way back to Havana. He
•was escorted half way to the city from
tho Marianao race track where the fight
was held, by a troop of Cuban eav
alrv.
Crowds fined the streets and narrow
roadways, and the new white champion
was loudly cheered. He was deeidedlv
the favorite of t'he crowd all through
the fight, and last nijfht was the 'hero
of the island.
Automobiles returning to the city
from the fight flew white flags and
thus the news spread far and wide that
the white challenger had beaten the
negro champion. As Willard came
along the crowds in the streets waved
flags and linen handkerchiefs tied to
sticks. At one point a group of negro
children, who had evidently heard that
Johnson was the victor, waved black
flags at the white champion, who was
much amused.
Willard probably is the most modest
champion who ever stepped out of a
frize ring, taking his victory at philo
sophically as he had looked forward to
{he fight. Neither he nor Johnson show
ed much evidence of having been en
gaged in a heavyweight championship
battle. The new champion's lip, right
ear and left cheek showed slight cuts,
but at no time was there more than a
drop or two of blood in evidence. In
this respect the fight was in contrast
to the Johnson-Jeffries fight at Reno
five years ago when Jeffries was cut to
pieces and blood splashed over the spec
tators at the ringside.
On the contrary no fight between
heavyweights that has gone to a finish
was cleaner or less brutal. Johnson's
left eye was partly closed in the early
rounds, but not sufficiently to interfere
with his fighting. His lip also was cut
inside, and his famous golden smile
flashed from a very red setting.
In many respects the fight resulted
just as many predicted, Willard and his
friends particularly prophesying that if
the battle lasted 20 rounds Johnson

could not win. This was based partly
on the belief that Willard could stand
all the punishment Johnson could in
flict, and partly on the doubt as to
Johnson's condition and his ability at
his age to fight a long battle against
the odds of superior heights, weight,
reach and youth.
Willard said before entering the
ring that he expected to take a beating
for 10 or 15 rounds at the hands of
his faster and more skilled opponent,
and had trained to withstand it. As a
matter of fact, he took 20 rounds of
severe punishment, but laughed the
blows aside and kept standing up
against the rushes of the negro, who
several times in each of the earlier
rounds swept Willard before him to
the ropes. Willard 'a back showed nu
merous welts raised by the ropes as he
fell into them.
Johnson's continual grin through the
early rounds began to change to a look
of wonderment as the battle turned
into the twenties, it was evident to the
spectators when the negro came to the
conclusion that it was useless for him
to try to knock out the young Western
giant. Johnson also seemed to know
that he was in no condition to fight 45
rounds. His blows Jacked the force
which sent Jeffries toppling from the
topmost rung of the pugilistic ladder
at Reno. Time had done its work.
It had been the opinion of Johnson
and many of his friends that he did
not have to be in the best of condition
to whip Willard, underrating the lat
ter's splendid condition and youthful
stamina.
The fight was all Johnson's during
th« first 20 rounds, Willard once or
twice taking the aggressive, and then
swinging clumsily and wildly. Mean
while, his body was growing pink un
der the blows that flashed from John
son.
In these rounds Willard took a beat
ing which would have put an ordinary
fighter down and out. The crowd got
used to seeing him throw off these
slashing blows and expected to see
Johnson do the same thing when Wil
lard swung his right to the negro's
chin in the fatal 26th round. Thev ex
pected to see Johnson jump up and con
tinue fighting, just as Willard had come
back, but the old champion knew that
he had fought his last championship
fight.
From the 20th to the filial round,
the fight lookej slow, and the crowd
began to hoot and ask that somebody
do something. There was a single cry
of "fake-" but it was not taken up
by the other spectators. The reason it
looked slow was because Johnson, who
had been doing all the fighting, sud
denly stopped and began sparring for
time.
It was some time before Willard or
his seconds realized that Johnson was
through, and only needed a blow or
two to send him to pugilistic oblivion.
During {he early part of the fight,
Johnson carried all his old-time confi
dence and self-assertiveness. He con
stantly bandied words with the spec
tators about the ring and talked stead
ily at Willard, who heeded the negro's
chatter about as little as he did his
blows.
STATEMENT BY NEW CHAMPION
BY JESS WILLARD
I knew I could do it.
Johnson gave me a great battle for
20 rounds, but he could not hurt me,
although his punches were powerful.
I had not figured I would win be
| fore the 20th round, feeling certain
that Johnson would show up well
i until then. I was sure that my en
durance was superior to his and that
| by laying back I could' tire him out.
I fought cautiously until the 20th
! round, and then in the 21st and 22d,
I seeing Johnson tiring rapidly I went
j in to finish him.
In the 24th I knew I had the cham
pionship within my grasp. In the 25th
T shot across two body punches, know
ing they would weaken the champion
i and when the 26th came I went out
| to finish him. When the round started
j Johnson was slow in getting from his
j corner and his grogginess spurred me
on.
I backed him into a corner, feinted
with my left, forcimj him to shift his
guard and then shot my right against
his jaw with all the power in my
body, ending the fight and realizing
my life's greatest ambition.
JOHNSON DID HIS BEST
BY JACK JOHNSON
I met a better man aud was beaten.
I did the best I could and put forth
the best that was in me to win, but
despite the rain of blows Willard
seemed unaffected, although I hit him
hard enough and often enough in the
first 2"0 rounds to floor ten ordinary
men.
One consolation I have is that I
proved to my friends that I was in
condition. This was shown by the fight
u$ to the i2'oth round. No man could
have tried harder than I to win, but
I was up against a man who wouldn't
crumple when I hit him and whose
right to my jaw took the champion
ship from me.

RAZE JAIL TO FREE YOUTH
April Fool Joke Causes Shooting and
Melee in Indiana Town
Elnora, Ind., April 6. —A group of
indignant citizens yesterday tore down
the town's wooden jail and released
Gray Farris, a student telegraph
operator and a well-known young man
held a prisoner in it. As a result of
the melee one man was shot and is in
a critical condition. The trouble dates
to when Parris played an April fool
joke on Town Marshal Matt Cox. Cox
found out about the joke early yester
day and put Young Farris in jail.
Clifford Farris. trustee of Elnora
township and an uncle of the young
man, went before Justice Laug'uliu
and offered bond. He also offered to
pay the young man's fine, if there was
any to pay, and then demanded hie re
lease. Cox became angry at this and
started to shoot at the elder Farris.
Arthur IHUon, a hardware merchant,
trying to interpose between the men,
got in the way of three bullets from
Cox's igun. He is in a serious condition.
A short time after this citizens tore
down the jail and let out young Fer
ris.

Avengers Hunt Down Fugitive at
Mine and Cut Him Up
Johnstown, Pa., April 6.—GuiSeppe
Perry was found dead yestordav near
the mouth of an abandoned mine, a
mile from this city, literally cut to
pieces with a huije knife. Saturday he
had killed Frank Perry. Both men
were residents of Johnstown's alien
colony, but were not reluted. Frank
was struck from behind with a hatchet
and his head almost severed, and al
though the murder was committed in
broad daylight upon one of Johns
town 's main streets, tho slayer escap
ed. He was seen running away by
some children, who recognized him.
How Guiseppe got to the abandoned
mine in which he stayed Saturday and
Sunday nights the police do not know.
In some manner ho managed to obtain
an overcoat and a small sum of money
from a woman. How Frank's friends
found out where Guiseppe was hiding
the police do not know; but some time
Sunday night the fugitive was decoy
ed from his hiding place and killed.
The police onlv know that Frank's
widow, who Sunday was weeping and
wailing, is now smiling and laughing.
They believe that some friend of
Frank worked his way into tho con
fidence of friends of Guiseppe and
then slew the murderer. They fear that
the vendetta has not been closed, and
that unless it is possible to make a
few arrests in the near future there
will he another murder.

PULLMAN PORTERS' TIPS
UNDER FEDERAL INQUIRY
Wages Are $27.50 Month For First
15 Twin, Says Company Witness
at Chicago Hearing, and Then Five
Per Ont. Increase
Chicago, April 6.—(The first govern
ment inquiry into wages end condi
tions of employment of sleeping ear
porters and conductors was made here
yesterday by the United States Com
mission on Industrial Relations. L. 8.
Hungerford, general manager of the
Pullman Company, was on the stand
for moat of the day and was question
ed by Prank P. Walsh, chairman of
the commission.
In the first fifteen years of a sleep
ing car porter's service, Mr. Hunger
ford said, he received $27.50 a month
in wages. At the end of 15 yearn he
receives an adva.nce of It per cent.,
which makes his pay $28.87 a month.
In the first ten years of service he
buys $36.50 worth of uniforms a
year, but thereafter the company takes
on this burden. A bonus system gives
men with good records an extra
month's pay for the year.
Mr. Wafsh 'brought up the subject
■of tips.
"T>o you expect the public to pay
the difference between these wages and
a living waige?" he asked.
"No. I don't think that was con
sidered."
"You thought them satisfied with
these salaries?"
"No, I wouldn't say that. We re
ceived no expressions of dissatisfac
tion regarding them," replied Mr.
Hungerford.
"Have you considered the social
effect of a wage which compels men
but recently removed from bondage to
subsist on gratuities from another
race?"
"I am not competent to answer
that."
"Well, can a man live on $27.50f'
"I don't know, but it probably de
pends on his perquisites."
It appeared from the testimony
that porters a,re permitted gonerallv
to retire at 11 or I' 2 p. m. and must
go on duty again 'at 3 a. n>.
"Are the porters required to polish
tHe shoes of passengers'!" asked the
chairman.
"No; they are permitted to," an
swered Mr. Hungerford.
Mr. Walsh read from a book of
rules by P. C. Johnson, district super
intendent of the Pullman Company at
Omaha. In this compilation it appear
ed that porters were required to shine
shees, and the witness said they
bought their own polish. Among tilings
forbidden were the use of tooth picks
and tobacco. The porter standing at
the eteps receiving passengers must
stand straight and must .not lean in
dolently against the car. "Look pleas
ant," says the rule; "don't give the
passenger the impression that it is a
more condescension on your part that
he is allowed to ride at all.
A system* of small fines for the dis
appearance of linen was maintained to
prevent negligence. Last year lost
linen, frequently carried away by care
less passengers, cost the company
$l7B ,000, witness said.
