his opponents dcfen.ie with n f uri ?ade
of blows to his body and head.
In the final romd th? giant Kansan
landed a right swing on tho negror?
Jaw. Johnson crumplod. took tho
count laying oh thc ropes. ; Seventeen
thousand,excited people saw the fight.
As tho new champion arose tho
crowd rushed into tho ring. Se'ilior
protected the fighters and dispersed
the mob. Willard declared Johnson
