LATHROP & SONS, Jess Won the Heavyweight Championship Title From Jack Johnson in 26th Round—Fight Probably Has No Paral- lel in the History of the Ring—Johnson Led the Fight Until the 25th—A Stinging Left to the Body and Ter- rific Right to the Jaw Caused the Black Champion to Crumple. Havana, April 5.—Jack Johnson, ex- today lost his claim to fistic fame as the heavy- ht champion of the world, the ti- eing wrested from him by Jess ‘Willard, the Kansas cowboy, the big- gest man who ever entered the prize ring and a “white hope” who at last ile from his own country, tle has made good. The day after tomorrow, will sail for Martinique, there to await passage back to France, where John- son proposes to settle down and lead the life of a farmer, raising pigs and chickens. There is no doubt that he is thrdugh with the ring. ‘Willard, who is being acclaimed to- night as the new champion, is going back to the United States to win the fortune which was denied him today, when Johnson got $30,000 before the fight started, Willard taking only a small share of the net receipts. Just what his share was is not known. Probabl- Greatest Fight in History. Today’s fight probably has no par- allel in the history of ring battles. For twenty rounds Johnson punched and pounded Willard at will, but his blows grew perceptibly less powerful as the fight progressed, until at last he seemed unable or unwilling to go on. Johnson stopped leading and for three or four rounds the battle be- tween the two big men was little more than a series of plastic poses of white and black gladiators. So it was until the 25th round, when Willard got one of his wildly swinging right hand smashes to Johnson's heart. This was the beginning of the end. Johnson Foresaw His Finish. { When the round closed, Johnson sent word to his wife that he was all in and told her to start for home. She was on the way out and was passing the ring in the 26th round when a stinging left to the body and a cy- clonic right to the jaw caused John- son to crumple on the floor of the ring, where he lay partly outside the ropes until the referee counted ten and held up Willard’s hand in token of his newly won laurels, There is much discussion tonight and probably will be for all time, among the followers of the fighting game, as to whether Johnson was Johnson, his wife and a little group of friends really knocked out. In the sense of beine smashed into unconsciousness he certainly was not put out. The consensus of opinfon 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 than rise and stand fur- ther punishment, Johnson has often stated that fight- ing is_a business and he would not foollshly submit to repeated knock- downs when he found he had met his master. A second or two after Jack Welsh, the referee, had counted ten, Johnson quickly got up It was well that he dig so, for a moment later a rush of spectators to the fighting plat- form all but smothered the pugilists. For an instant it seemed as if trou- ble was threatened and some G50 or more of the several hundred soldiers stationed about the fight arena jump- ed into the ring and surrounded the vanquished and the victor. Soldiers Escort Pugilists. Under escort of the soldiers Wil- lard and Johnson left the ring and went to their dressing rooms, while the crowa cheered and broke into wild discussion. Willard was out of his dressing room in a few moments and in an automobile on his way back to Havana. He was escorted half way to the city from the Mariano race track where the fight was held, by a troop of Cuban cavalry Crowds lined tha streets and narrow roadw: and the new white cham- pion was loudly cheered. He was de- cidedly the favorite of the crowd all through the fight and tonight is the hero of the island. His victory was very popular. Automobiles returning to the clty 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 ne- gro children, who had evidently heard that Johnson was the victor, waved black flags at the white champion, who was much amused. Willard a Modest Champion. Willard is probably the most mod- est champion who ever stepped out of a_ prize ring. taking his victory as philosophically as he had looked for- An Easy Way to Get Fat and Be Strong ‘The trouble with most thin folks who wish to gain weight is that they insist on drugging their stomach or stuffing it with greasy foods: rubbing on useless “flesh creams, following some f00l- 1sh phvsical culture stunt, while the real cause of thinness goes untouched.

Operations of the Day Showed a Very Large Total. v York, April 5.—Revival of pool activities in nume-rous speculative spe- cialties helped to swell today’'s opera- tions on the stock exchange to a very’ large total. Representative shares moved up as well, some to the highest levels of the year. This was true of such potential leaders as Union Pa- cific, Grangers and Canadians, while trunk liners, and some of the cotton- carrying roads, participated in lesser degree. United States Steel, for the first time in some days, reasserted its lead- ership, selling as high as 50 1-2, its best quotation since the latter part of January. Bethlehem Steel rose over four points to the new record of 92 early in the sessior, but lost all its rise before midday. Towards the end it was rushed up again, the same time ascending to 92 1-2, at which price it closed. The annual meeting of the company takes place tomorrow and ru- mor persists that action advantageous to the shareholders will then be talen. Automobile shares, equipments and a mixture of secondary industrials rose from one to five points, but some of these advances were obliterated toward the close. Trading in the first two hours was on an enormous scale, but quitted in the early afternoon. There was further furious activity in the final dealings, with a strong close. The only_exceptions to the general rise were Missouri Pacific and St Louis and San Francisco among the railers and some of the very inactive specialties, Missouri Pacific’s compar- ative weakness was attributed to the belief that a heavy assessment will be levied against the stock under the forthcoming reorganization. The most erratic of the industrials was Cuban- American Sugar, which rose ‘seven points to 70 at the outset, declining to 62 later. Bankers reported a demand for over half of the $50,000,000 of French one- year notes, Tecently taken by a syndi- cate, and conferences bearing upon other foreign ioans were renewed, with intimations of definite announcements later in the week. Total sales of stocks amounted .to 670,300 shares. Bonds were irregular, copper issues alone showing strength. Total sales, par value, aggregated $2,682,000. United States bonds were unchanged or call. STOCKS. Cluett_Peabody _pf Ool., Fuel 22 £ H E 5 Ist pf Sy g M« Smpr Electric . Motor pf Motor f No. Ore Sfts Gt. North pf Gugg'heim Ex Harvester Cor.

The new cham- pion’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 great contrast to the Johnson-Jefiries bout at Reno five years ago, when Jeffries was cut to pleces and blood splashed over the spectators at the ringside. Evldently thinking that this condition might prevail again to- day, Johnson objected to the presence of a white woman in the newspaper seats just outside the ropes and she was relegated to a place out of possi- ble range. A Clean Fight. ‘On the contrary, no fight between heavyweights that has gone to a fin- ish was cleaner and less brutal. John- son’s left eyve 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. The end of the fight came with a suddenness that dazed the spectators. It followed two or three rounds of almost complete idleness on the part of the contestants and the crowd settled down to a long drawn struggle, believing that it would go the full limit of the 45 rounds without eil:xer being able to register a knoci- out, Laughed at Negro's Blows. 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 mat- ter of fact, he took 20 rounds of severe punishment. but laughed the blows aside ang kept standing up against the rushes of the negro, who several times in_each of the earlier rounds swept Willard before him to the rope. Wil- lard’s back showed numerous welts raised by the ropes as he fell into them. In the rushes Johnson would attac ‘Willard in the body, and when the lat- ter's hands and arms came down to guard that part of his anatomy John- son would eswing rights and lefts to the unprotected jaw and face. After each of these attacks Willard kept comin cheerfully back for more. Johnson’s Blows Lost Force. Johnson’s perpetual grin through the early rounds began to change to a look of wonderment as the battle turned in- to the twenties and it was perfectly evident when the negro came to the conclusion that it was useless for him to try to knock out the young western giant. Johnson seemed also to know that he was in no condition to fight 45 rounds. His blows lacked the force which sent Jeffries toppling from the topmost rung of the pugilistic ladder at Reno. Time had done its wo Johnson and many of his friends had believed that he need not be in the best condition to whip Willard, underrating the latter’s splendid con- dition and youthful stamina. The fight was all Johnson's during the first 20 rounds, Willard only once or twice taking the aggressive, and then swin ing clumsily and wildly. Meanwhile his body was growing pink under the blows that flaghed from Johnson. Took a Rough Beating. In these rounds Willard took a beat- ing which would have put an ordinary fichter 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. They expected to see Johnson jump up and continue fighting, just as Willard had come back, but the old champion knew that he had fought his last champion- ship fight. From the 20th round to the final, the fight looked 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, Wwho had been doing all the fighting, suddenly stopped and began sparring for time. It was some time before Willard or his seconds realized that Johnson was through and needed only a blow or two to send him to pugilistic oblivion. Seconds Warned Johnson. During the early part of the fight Johnson carried all his old-time confi- dence and self-assertiveness. He was constantly bandying words with the spectators about the ring and talked steadily at Willard, who heeded the negro’s chatter as little as he did his blows. ‘Willard’s seconds were after Johnson all the time, warning him to keep away from Willard's terrific right. It was in the 16th round that one of Willard's seconds shouted: “Jack, you run into Jess’ right; we will pick you up right over here’” ‘Be sure you take good care of m said Johnson. It so happened that when Johnson went down for the count it was in Willard’s corner. ‘When a spectater called out: “John- son, you will get yours today,” Johnson replied: “Well, there is good money in it, isn't there?” Nervous at the Start. ‘Willard will probably take his own time in accepting any challenges. He already has announced that if he won he would not_ fight another mnegro. There is no doubt that today’s fight will do the new champion a world of good. Today he was palpably nervous and at first was afraid to go at John- son. He constantly jabbed or lunged and then backed away, instead of fol- Jowing up an advantage when it came to_him. It can hardly be sajd at present that ‘Willard is a great fighter, but he is a ‘wonderful specimen of physical man- hood and is likely to develop an ag- gressiveness and skill that may make him invincible for years to come. The Fight by Rounds. Round 1—Johnson feinted and land- ed his left on Willard’s jaw. Repeat- ed uppercut right to Jess’ jaw.

On the break he landed a smash to the glant's jaw. The negro rubbed Willard's cut lip every oppor- tunity. The negro landed three crash- ing blows to Willard’s unprotected At the bell Johnson was ham- hard at Willard’s body. The cowboy’s left cheek was cut. Willard Tapped Johnson’s Eye. Round 7—Johnson was using every artifice to force the fighting. He rush- ed Willard to the ropes, slugsing with both hands repeatedly, Willard's long left temporarily blinding the negro’s left eye. Johnson came back with a series of swings to Willard’s body. It was a very clean fight so far. Round 8—Willard was gaining con- fidence and tried forcing the pace. Johnson answered his challenge.

The latter slugged the white man to the ropes, Johnson Lands Many Blows. Round 10—Johnson was slow 1in coming from his corner. _Willard scored two lefts to the face. Jess was blocking better as the nervousness wore off. Johnson swung left to Wil- lard’s ribs and rushed a half dozen hard blows to the body and jaw. The negro knocked Willard to the ropes with right and left swings to stomach. A hard right chop stagger- ed Willard, Round 1i—The crowd was deriding Johnson, who fought and answered the lies at the same time. Willard drove to mouth and took a right hook to the Lody. Johnson smashed the cowboy with a left to the jaw. Jess blocked several swings. Johnson then tried to rattle Willard by talk. The latter, an- ery, replied in kind. Johnson tapped the giant’s shoulder at the end of a slow round. Round 12—The negro opened with his left to the bodv and a right to the jaw In a clinch he smashed Willard three times with a left. Johnson drove a right to the body and a left to the head. His blows apparently had no effect on Willard. Johnson drove Wil- lard to a corner with a swing to the head. Willard’s ear and cheek were bleeding. He walked spryly at tne bell. Willard’s Body Shows Effects. Round 13—Willard’s body was now red from the effects of the punishment of the negro’s blows. Ducking under his opponent’s lefts, he_ continued to play for the stomach. Willard drove Johnson into a orner and landed a straight left to Johnson's face. The negro jarred Willard with a left hook to the jaw. In return he next hooked the left to the white man's body, re- peating the blow a minute later.

Round 15—The crowd kidded John- son, who rushed Willard to the ropes and scored five hard swings, remarking “What a grand old man.” Willard grin- ned at the remark and his blows ac- companying it. The bell found the pugilists fighting in the center of the ring. Round 16—Jack missed a left to the head and clinched. The challenger Dblocked the negro’s rush. Amid much fighting, the black man said “Willard is a good kid,” then rushed Jess to the ropes, scoring two hard punches to the body. The negro drove a terrific swing to Willard’s side. The challenger go- ing to his corner was a trifle unsteady. Round 17—Johnson hooked a left to his opponent’s jaw and a right upper- cut to the same place.

Johnson landed a punch to the body and another on the jaw. Willard Shows Aggressiveness. Round 19—Both pugilists slowed up perceptibly. Willard was now the ag- gressor. Johnson stood in the middle of the ring, blocked blows for the first few minutes and not a single hard punch landed. Johnson seemed able to avoid Willard’s every lead. The negro then started a rally, landing two lefts to the body and one right to_the jaw. Round 20.—Willard opened with two light blows to the negro’s face. The latter laughed. Johnson said, ‘“Land again kid.” Willard smiled. Persons in the crowd yelled “Hurry up, we want to see the races.” Willard stab- bed and pawed the air until he landed a swing on the negro’s jaw.

Round 22.—The fight at this point degenerated into a slow sparring, clinching battle, neither pugilist ap- peared particularly tired or injured by the blows of his opponent. Willard tried at setting the pace. In a clinch he battered the negro’s body with THIS GREAT TONIC FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE I r Nerves are Shattered by orry, Overwork, Over-indulgence in Stimulants or by Excesses of Any d, Begy’s Nerve Aid Tablets Are What you Need Right Away.

Willard again landed to the mouth and repeated, Johnson stepping | around backwards. At the bell he dropped heavily into his chair.. The Fatal Round. Round 26.—Johnson rose slowly from his chair and Willard met him more than two-thirds of the way across the ring. Willard stabbed a long left into the negro’s face, send- ing his head bobing back. Before the champion could recover his position Willard swung a smashing which landed full on Johnson ach. Johnson was flung again ropes by the force of the blow and he clinched on the rebound. The cow- boy tried to tear loose, but the black held grimly, with eves tlosed and le shaking.

Johnson dropped his guard and Willard won the title with a quick, hard swing to the ex- act point of the jaw. The negro’s knees folded up under him anr he sank slowly to the floor and rolled over on his back partly under the ropes. Welsh waved Willard back and be- gan to count. Up and down stvung the referee’s hand but Johnson never moved. His eves were glassy, only the whites being visible.
