THE ROCK ISLAND ARGUS, TUESDAY. JULY 5, 1010. JACK JOHNSON STILL CHAMP (Continued from Page Three.) not come back ask'Johnson if he will give me his gloves." Corbett and Joe Choynskl and his brother Jack and others were ready to cry, but they united In trying to cheer the defeated man. Johnson stood in the center of the ring and received the congratulations of Billy Delaney and his other seconds. As he talked to Delaney he was breath ing absolutely normal. He was not hurt in any way. Sig. Hart said to the champ: "Go over and shake hands with the poor old fellow, Jack." "Xo, I don't owe him anything, now," said Johnson. Was Sent A Tray. Later he went to Jeffries" corner, but Jim Corbett and Jack O'Brien waved him away. When he returned to his own corner the crowd in the ring was so dense that the police had to beat them back. The first man to congrat ulate him in his corner was John L. Sullivan. Jeffries was attended by his physi cian as he sat in his corner. He sat shaking his head sadly for a few min utes and then was led to his dressing room. Soon afterwards he was taken to his camp at Moana Springs As soon as the men left the ring the crowd began the destruction of the ring. The ropes were cut into bits, the canvas ripped up and snipped into small pieces, and even the stayles that held the canvas were unscrewed and taken as souvenirs. The short end betting men are hi larious, but in the great mass of spectators there was a feeling of per sonal loss. They could not help ad miring Johnson. Hundreds swallowed the bitter pill of heavy financial loss. Statement by Timekeeper. . George Harting, the timekeeper, said: "Time was called at 2:45. The tight lasted 15 rounds. Time for the last round was 2:27. The fight was stopped at 3:41. "In the 15th - there were three knockdowns. The first two of these were each of nine seconds. The last was of eight seconds. Then Jeffries' seconds rushed in and the referee gave the decision to Johnson. There is no doubt that, independent of this action, Jeffries would have been counted out." Xo Power In Punch. "With the exception of a few fast rounds, the fight was tame. Jeffries did not have the power in his punch to hurt Johnson after he had received blow after blow on the jaw. Even before th?s Jeff could not reach the black. His blows landed with all the speed taken out of them. It was ITke hitting a punching bag. Rickard Fralaes Block. Tex Rickard, the referee, said: "Jack Johnson is the most wonder ful fighter that ever pulled on a glove. He won as he pleased and was never in danger. I could not help but feel sorry for the big white man as he fell beneath the cham pion's blows. It was a most pitiable sight. As a matter of fact, I thought way down in my heart that Jack would win. "The fight was won and lost when Jeffries went through the ropes the first time. This is official. The other knockdowns don't count.

Last night was a hilarious night at the Johnson quarters. Business at the bar started with a rush when Johnson returned to order wine for everybody. Johnson drank beer. There was singing and dancing. As Johnson planned to go to Chi- ; cago on the 9:45 train at night, much of his time was taken in packing "I want to be with my mammy," said Jack. Johnson has planned to appear in vaudeville for several weeks.

Secretary Fred Fortmyer, of the National association, says the entry list is away ahead of last year's, not only in number, but also in point of standing. Secretary Fortmyer is send ing out answers to many inquiries re ceived from foreign clubs, especially In England. France and Germany, the majority of the questions being in re lation to the free entry of boats ami the cost and length of time it would take to transport boats from New York to Washington. The ex-collegians of the Facifie coast, those who belong to the boat clubs iu the vicinity of San Francisco, are seriously contemplating sending a crew during the regatta, ns they are of the opinion they have just as good men in their vicinity as oarsmen as the clubs of the east.

THE PROMOTER It has long since been demonstrated, at large cost of money invested, that certain forms of public service are not best conducted when duplicate organizations exist to perform them. Take for instance, the business of making and distributing gas for fuel and illumin ating purposes. Duplication of service is entirely possi ble, yet is economically wrong, because either plant, or either management, or either set of superintendents, or either organization, would be capable of performing the function for which both are provided. But once there are two telephone enterprises operat ing in the same community the demands of both for rev enue become a double tax upon the body of the public, which is simple waste. The duplication of such service is invariably attended with much greater expense and in convenience than would be attendant upon monopoly. These arguments, however, are usually wasted upon the promoters of such enterprises. They are not nearly so greatly interested in serving the public in the very best and cheapest way as they are in serving themselves and' their own interests. Michigan Investor. After an experience of eight years in the tri-cities the owners of the plants of the Union Electric Telephone com pany are ready to subscribe to the above opinion. The plants of the Union Electric Telephone company were in stalled by promoters. The properties afterward were taken over by nine eastern capitalists. They were busi ness men, unfamiliar with the intricacies of telephone operation. Seven of these men have withdrawn, and the properties are now in the hands of three of the original purchasers. They firmly believed, when they took over the properties, that they had made a good profit-earning investment. But the result has been the opposite. The Union Electric Telephone company has lost money every day since it was purchased from the promoters. The three men who are operating it today have convinced themselves that the tri-city public will not support two telephone systems. The books of the Union Electric Tele phone company tell the story. The owners are therefore asking that they be permitted to dispose of their proper ties, and to that end are seeking consent to do so from the city councils. It will be possible to realize on the physical assests only buildings, equipment, etc. From these they hope to realize only a small percentage of the amount which they have invested. the negro's defense and took all the: knocked out." blows that came his way.

Whert the men faced each other it was plain to all that JeiTries was in distress. His face was nuiTed and j Moeding from the punishing lefts and rjKnts he had received and his move- ments were languid. He shambled after the elusive negro, sometimes crouching low with his left hand stuck out in front and sometimes standing erect. Stooping er erect, he was a mark for Johnson's accu rately driven blows. Johnson simply waited for the big white man to come in and chopped his face to pieces.

He fell under the top rope, over the lower one and emto the over- hanging of the platform.

He stood ready to strike, and when Jeffries arose from his knees, he dashed in again. Jeffries reeled about and tried to clinch, but Johnson eluded him and as the old champion swung around to the south side of the ring, he Jolted hira twice j on the jaw.
