P. H. GANTY
Havana, Cuba, April 5—Caught,
off his guard while looking over
his shoulder at his wife, who was
one of the spectators at the world's
champion fight, which took place
iu this c'ty today, Jack Johnson,
the negro, went down to defeat at
the hands of Jess Willard.
When time was caled for the
first round, both fighters tcoic
their places and Johnson {it once as
sumed the aggressive, and slammed j
Willard at will, landing a right, I
which was quickly followed by a
left to the jaw, and the crowd of
fight fans thought that it would
only be a matter of a lew rounds
when the black man would land
o\e of his knock-out blows.
When the fighters entered the
ring for the second round, Wil
lard's lips were bleeding treely
from a cut which he had received j
just before the gong sounded in
the first.
When time was called in the
fifth round, Willard seen to be
rattled and boxed lilc amateur,
and up to tho end 4 the eighth
round was beaten b'-ck to the ropes
several times, his body showing
red almost all over from the pun
ishment which he hs.d received,
but it seemed tint the negro had
lost the force of bis punch, and
iu the ninth round, the white man 1
regained his confidence, and from ,
that time on began to put up a i
great fight. As each round was'
called the black rjai: was slower
and slower in taking his place
iu the ring, and the crowd began '
kidding him. Jack began playing |
for Jess' stomach, s»nd the crowd
immediately began 'rooting for Wil- j
lard.
In the nineteenth round, both j
men began slowing dcwn. In the j
twenty-second, the fight degenerated
into a slow sp.xrr'i.'e match, in t
which both of the combatants took
refuge In clinching to prevent
further punishment at the hands o£
the other.
From the the eighteenth -round,
Willard showed much distress from
the beating he had received from
t.ie terrific rights and lefts on
the head, and when the twenty
lifth round was reached it looked
as though the big negro intended
to try and win the figats on points,
seeming unable to lfcJid a knockout,
L-ut towards the end cf this round,
Loth men started in a new pace
iind did some terrific lighting, in
which each landed some hard blows,
but lacked strength, to knock out.
When the men wei£ called for
the twenty-sixth, Willard reached a
smash to Johnson's tody and then
rushed in to clinch. The- referee
forced the men apart and as they
broke away, Johnson looked over
'•lis shoulder at liis wife, who oc
cupied a front seat near the arena,
end before he could recover his
position, Jess landed a right and
left to body, which he followed with
a smash which put t'-.e black man
down and out.
Immediately after the negro fell,
the crowd rushed into the ring,
Mid started menacing Jchnson, but.
tquads of soldiers who were on
hand, quickly cleared the platform,
and protected the fighters.
The victory of Jess Willard over
Jack Johnson, as the world's
champion heavyweight, is a popular
one. Johnson did not show up in
as good form as at Reno, but not
withstanding criticism to the con
'rarv, is far from being, a wreck.
All through the fight he showed
that he knew more c( the boxing
game than Willard, but the latter's
youth and great strength made up
for lack of cleverness. Johnson
weighed in at 225 pounds, while
Will ,1 tipped the scales at 238.
