2 'HI, OMAHA it 12501 DAILY BEE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD George Dixon Wins That Proud Title by Whipping Fred Johnson, FGURTEEN ROUNDS OF HARD FIGHTING One of the Gamest Contests on Record Witnessed by a Jovial Crowd of En- thusiastic &ports—Details the Battie, Nrw Yok, June 27.—Tho ereat battie for the featherweight championship of the world at the Coney Island Athletic club to night is now a thing of the past, as George Dixon, the colored boy from Hoston, has won that titie by defeating Fred Johnson, - the featberweigut champion of England. The contest was witnessed by a lorge and enthusinstic crowd of sporting men from this city nna various other parts of the country. Dixon is the acknowledged champion foathor- weight of America and asthis was an inter- national battle there was an |mmense amount of interest taken in the fight and the betting was exceptionally heavy. [t was unques- fonavly @ great battle and one that will be long remembered. Conoy Island was crowded all the afternoon by sporting men, eager to get their money upon the man thoy could get the best lines upon. Sarprised at Jol on's Welght, Both Dixon ard Johnson weighed in under 117 pounds, and_thore was considerablo sur- riso shown at the Englishman’s ability to wot down to that weight and still looking strong and flc to fight. The Iater trains came down heavily loaded, and as it came tho rush for seats at & and §10 was some- thing wouderfal, for it cut no figure with the oulk of tho sports and the put up their money as though pad been blank paper. There were fully (00 people present by the time thoy wero ready to put on the first “bout,” which wifs ind go between Charles Kelly and ullivan, both of this city. Thore was so much Dixon money in sight that the Johnson men who went down pre- pured to back their man at even money wero soon compelled to drop down to §50 to $100, then to &0 1o #100, the takers were so num: erous thut anothor reef had to vo taken and the odds fell to $100 10 $60 on Dixon, with but fow takers. The first pair of bruisers, Kelly and Sullivan, hopped upon the stuge 4 8440 p. m. Tho boys, who are in the 150 pouna class, wore even'y matched. Sully Was Happy. Jobn L. Sullivan camo in & hilarious con- dition and attracted uo little _attention. He was 30 much interested in the ten ratthng rounds the boys put up, in which knock- downs were conspicuous, that he did not see Jim Corbett come in and walk past him, despito the fact that tho erowd cheered him beartily. Neither of tho lads were knocked out, but a3 declured the winner on scientific ‘T'hen evenin 1t was just 9: when Dixon camo upon the stage. accom- pinied by Tom O'Rourke, his manager, and Morris Ketly and Eddie Daley. Fred John- 800 was very slow about maiing his appear- ance m the ring, but when ho did show up he received o bearty weleome. He was ac- companted by Chatlio Morton, Billy Plim- mer, Ben Bolands and Benuy Murphy, his handlers, Red trom the First. Tt was just 9:50 when the men confronted ench other, Tho start was fast and furious, “<Dixon doing all the work and landing right aud left.on stomach and head, forcing John- son to the ropes and punisbing him terribly. A great shout went up, for they thought Johnson was going out 10'the first round, but he pluckily stood to his work and took s medicine. The cong souuded time aud this suved him. His seconds had him sbave iu Jess than the minute and he came up strong. Seeond Round—Dixon forced the fighting, which was fast and furious, and did the bulk of the leading. Johnson at'one timw scemed t0 bo gone. His leads with his left were always short and he appeared unable to give any amount of severe pumshment. Dixon continued to play for the body, repoatodly landing hard with s right. Jonnson was laving back for in-fighting, in which he ex- celled, but George hit, stopped ana away too quickly for him. When the bell rang Jobo- 50N Wils very weary Made Dixon Shy. Third Round—Both men were strong and sparred for an opening. Johnson was the first to lead, but feil short of his mark, and Dixon came up forward with a great rush, landing bavd and often. Johnson gained strength and again led. As before, he fell sbort. When George rushed him he planted his rignt full in Dixon’s face, and in the clinch which followed punched him hard in the stomach. After the bresk-away Dixon was more careful, finding that his opponent was a great in-fighter and capable of getting away from punishment, Fourth Round—Johnson came up very strong, which forced Dixon to be a littie more cautious. They sparred a few seconds for an opening when Dixon came with a rush anda planted his loft on Johnson's stomach and with the same nw\hf landed it on his jaw, while be foilowed it up witha right hander on the neck. Johnson planted his right heavily on Dixon’s ribs and some hard fu-tighting followen before the eall of time. Fifth Round ~Jokuson was full of fight and he followed Dixon in the cing looking for an opening. He lod lightly with bis left, but was countered on the jaw for bi< pains. Then Dixon pushed him and landed a good 1e(t, only to receive a blow twice as hard on the 'side of his head from Johnsou's right, ‘They oume w0 close guarters a number of times during this round and clinched repeat- edly. They had to be separated u aumn times and the round finished in favor Dixon. Fighting Like Tigers. Sixth Round—Both men came up strong. Jotwson led with his left on Dixon's che Dixon, ona rush, swung his loft on John- son’s stomach and again in the face. On the next rush e landed again the same waygbut ot a stinging clout on the side of his head With Jobnson's right that made thosmile ais- anpear from bis face, Ho tried to get squi rusbed his mau and fought like a tiger with both haids. Johnson beld bis own in pretty good form, and did 1ot seem to mind hiv punishment in the least, but banged sway with both bands like & gladiator, Scventh Round—Bothfwere eager to got to work. dotnson swiled, led und was followed by n swinging right which made his hoad go back quick. Dixon used both hands to ud- vantago, and landed many good blows, and would doubtiess huve fluished his mun had it ot bean {or the clever dudging of the En Rlish 1ud. Eighth Round —Dixon started to do Lis fghtine with the loft band, but after re- celving two or three swinving, right-handed blows he came 12 his senses and was forced o uss his right hand for all it was worth, * Both fought well all through the round and it is difleult to toil whicn man had the best of tho round. It was clover work all tho wuy through, nson Was Al Ninth Round—Dixon was not over anxlous 1o get into close quarters and spent as much of the round as e possibly could in walking around and sparving. He only fought whe ho gol .8 £00d Opening or was forced to do 80 by bis opponet's attacks. Johnson used his ‘right hand to advantage aud landed heavy blows on Dixon's bead with teliing of- feot.” If anything, Johuson had a shade the beat of the round. lenth Ltound —Dixon held off till he kot » _cml opeuiug, theu ho landed on bis opponent th both hands aud falrly stuggered the « Englishwan. The clever manver in which Johoson avoided punishment from Dixon's leftoaused the latter to change his tuctics and to commence playing far Jobnson's wind with his rigot, which be landed successfully many times oo the Briton's stomach, Eleventh Round—Johnson showed himself 1o be 4 good stff puncher with his right hand, and no oue was wmore keenly aware of that fact than Dixon, who avoided it as much as Ppossible, aud did not fall into the trap Johu- 8on was setting for him with his short leads With the loft. Johuson, if anythiog, had a wrifle the best of Lhe round. Took His Medicine Exceedingly Well. Twelfih Round—Both fought well, and to the surprise of the spectators Johuson bield bis ond up fully ws well s Dixon. Englishman could certainly stand with an awful amount of punishment, and the blows of Dixon, which were severe, had but little effect upon him. He took his medicine in great shapo and was perfectly contented with countering with his right every time Dixon camo to him, Thirteenth Round—There was but little real hard fighting done in this reund, and both men were cautions and only led where they thought they had a good opening. Dixon got in some telling blows toward the close of the round, which had a marked effect on the Engiishman, wio was a triflo tired at tno call of time when he went to his corner. Fourteenth Round--Johnson was a trifle grogey when this round began. owing to the punishment ho had received in the previous round. and the manver in which Dixon fol- lowed up this advantage and planted his right and left dia not improve Johnson's condition in the least. They had scarcely been fighting two minutes, when Dixou planted his left full on the point of Johrsow’s jaw, following 1t up with the right with cuch force that be fell on bim when he went down. The fall was what finished Johnson, as the back of his head struck tho floor with such force that he was knocked insensible. He made four or five efforts to rise, but the attempts were useless, and Dixon was declared the winuer.

For weeks provious to the tragedy he had boen drinking beavily and the suddei cessation of his dai libations had its natural effect. The con- dition of the doad man’s brain, as revealed by the post mortem examination, indicated that his mind was diseased. Shortly after his arrest, however, a commission of insanity experts pronounced him sane. Pratt had be- come much better Kriday and Saturday. His condition was regarded us favorable even duricg Saturday night; but he grew sud- denly worse Sunday morning avout 7 o’clock.
