JOHNSON'S CAREER.

There is nothing spectacular about the career of Jack Johnson and his fighting record really gives no idea of his real ability. As in the case of Peter Jackson, white pugilists, in many cases, have drawn the color line on him ; whether it was because they didn't want any of his game or whether they really objected to box with a negro may be easily surmised. So his record gives no line on his ability and prowess in the ring.

Johnson is the first man of his race since the Queensberry Rules have been in existence to get the chance to fight for the heavyweight championship. In that respect he is more for- tunate than that other colored boxer who challenged Sullivan and was refused a meet- ing, Peter Jackson, and whom many thought would have had a good chance with the rushing Boston Boy.

Johnson began his ring career in 1901, and in the latter part of that year he met Joe

Choynski in his home town. This battle brought his name before the public and after winning several battles in the Southwest he was taken to Chicago, where he continued to win and to show signs of cleverness. In that year he had three knockouts to his credit, as follows : Charley Brooks, two rounds ; Horace Miles, three rounds, and George Lawler, ten rounds. This showed that he had a punch. The next year, 1902, he added six knockouts to his credit, and one of the defeated men was Jack Jeffries, a brother of the then champion, who had begun to show promising signs as a boxer, but he only lasted five rounds with the black man.

His first defeat was at the hands of the veteran boxer, Joe Choynski, with whom he was matched by the Galveston Athletic Club in March, 1901. He was outclassed from the start, as might have been expected from a man with his limited experience. He did very well, however, in the first and second rounds, but in the third he was caught on the jaw with

LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON. 17

a right hook, and he went down and out. Foi this contest both men were arrested at the in- stigation of Gov. Savers, and held in $5,000 bail, but they were eventually released.

The big year for Johnson, so far as num- ber of fights engaged in was concerned, was 1902, when he was one of the principals in six- teen contests, losing not one, and having four draws. This was the year that he met Jack Jeffries, .brother of Jim, and played with him for five rounds before he dropped him for the count.

Probably his hardest battle of the year was on October 31, when he met George Gardiner, the middleweight champion of Xew England, before the San Francisco Club of San Fran- cisco, Cal., and he surprised the people at the ringside who came to see the clever Xew Eng- lander hang another scalp on his belt. John- son forced the fight from the start, and kept up the pace during the entire twenty rounds, winning the decision with plenty to spare. This battle brought him more prominently

HEADY FOR THE BELL.

LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON. 19

before the public than all of his previous con- tests put together.

After that he met and defeated in six rounds at Los Angeles, Cal., Fred Russell, and again on February 23, 1903, he outpointed Denver Ed Martin in twenty rounds in the same town.

Sam McVey, who is at present cutting a wide swath in pugilistic circles in Paris, was Johnson's next opponent. He was a tough customer, capable of taking a good licking and coming back, and he had a punch, too. They came together in Los Angeles, on Feb- ruary 27, 1903, and the bout went the limit of twenty rounds, but from the first the issue was never in doubt, for it was Johnson all the way. The man who is now champion showed then that he had a good punch in either hand, that he was quick, aggressive and resourceful. At the finish the decision went to him, and justly, too.

The next day he announced that he was going after Jeffries, for he wanted a chance

LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON. 2 1

at the title that was. to come to him later on. He claimed at that time that he was the logi- cal opponent for the big fellow and he was also sure that he could beat him. But the champion evaded him, having drawn the color line since he met Hank Griffin in 1901.

Johnson won all of his battles during the year of 1903, beating the rugged McVey twice.

His first opponent in 1904 was Black Bill, whom he met in a six-round exhibition bout in Philadelphia. On April 22, in San Francisco, he knocked out McVey in the twentieth round, putting a quietus on the aspirations of that boxer and proving conclusively who was the master. He also won from Frank Childs in Chicago in six rounds, and finished up the year by knocking out Ed Martin in Los Angeles in two rounds.

Marvin Hart gave him his first real set- back, getting the decision at the end of twenty rounds in San Francisco on March 28, 1905. Hart won, however, purely on his aggressive- ness, as at the end of the fight he was badly

LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON. 23

beaten and in miserable shape, while Johnson, on the other hand, showed scarcely a mark. He hit cleaner, he showed more cleverness, and he would have won easily had he forced the fighting instead of allowing Hart to set the pace.

From that time on he went steadily up, his speed, his cleverness and his ring generalship increasing, and he soon began to be recognized as a dangerous factor in the heavyweight division. The only thing that kept him down was his color, and there are plent3r of sporting men today who say that if he had been given his chance he would have been champion long ago, and Tommy Burns would have been in the scrap heap with the rest of the second raters. The only man of his own color capable of competing with him was Joe Jeannette. They met several times, but no one who ever saw these battles had any doubt but that Johnson was the master at all stages of the game and could have done with Jeannette just as he pleased.

JOE JEASNETTE.

LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON. 25

The fact that Johnson beat Sam Langford in Chelsea, Mass., in fifteen rounds, on April 26, 1906, showed his class, because Langford is and always has been a dangerous man in the ring in any company, as a glance at his record will show.

At Philadelphia on July 17, 1907, he knocked out the redoubtable Fitzsimmons in two rounds, and the same year he put away Charley Cutler in one round and Jim Flynn in eleven.

For the past five years his course on the pugilistic ladder has been steadily upward, and he has come into his own at last. During his long chase of Tommy Burns he expressed the greatest confidence in his ability to put away the man who was proclaiming himself the champion. Time and time again he said he would finish the battle, if ever they met, inside of fifteen rounds, and those who have seen him box anywhere, and not prejudiced against him on account of his color, were convinced that he could do just as he said.

There has been a lot of talk about a " vellow

SAM LANDLORD.

LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON. 27

streak " that he is said to possess. He may have it, but if he has no one has yet found it out, so there is no use in mentioning it again.

He is built magnificently, is strong as a lion, is clever, scientific, and carries a great punch in either hand. He fought for a small purse because he knew he was going to be the champion before he left the ring. He was convinced that he was the best man and so he was willing to fight to prove it, as a champion should.

This big fellow heads the list of famous negro fighters, beginning with Molineaux, the giant black who fought Tom Cribb twice for the championship of England in the early part of the present century ; and when you come to review the histories of the two men they are strangely alike in everything except that Johnson won what he went after. Molineaux went from Virginia, alone and penniless, to face the greatest fighting man the world knew at that time. He wasn't taken seriously at first, but after one or two hard tryouts the

SAM McVEY.

LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON. 29

sporting men of England became convinced that he had enough of the fighter in him to make Cribb step a bit. They were matched and the battle of thirty-three rounds lasted fifty-five minutes. Though he was compelled to give in, Molineaux gave Cribb a fearful beating, so much so that the champion had to be assisted from the ring.

The second battle between these two at- tracted a great deal of attention in England, as there were many who believed that Molineaux could beat the champion. But in this they were mistaken, as the sturdy negro lasted but eleven rounds. Here is what a writer of the day had to say about it :

"The battle, which lasted only nineteen minutes and ten seconds, left no doubt as to the superiority of Cribb. The science of Molineau at the opening of the fight was quite equal to that of the champion, but the con- dition of Cribb was far better, his temper more under control, and although there was no question as to Molineaux's courage, which

LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHXSOX. 3 1

almost amounted to ferocity, Cribb was his superior in steadiness and self-possession."

Jack Johnson, born in Galveston, Texas, on March 31, 1878, is now the heavyweight pugi- listic champion of the world, and from all in- dications is likely to remain so for some time to come. He becomes a notable figure in more ways than one and is the first negro boxer to gain the coveted title.

Never has any other boxer the world over shown such persistency in following up a champion as Johnson did when he first made up his mind to go after Tommy Burns. He would scarcely have succeeded in obtaining a meeting with the elusive French-Canadian, however, had it not been for Sam Fitzpatrick, veteran boxer and manager, who took the black man under his wing and literally chased Burns almost around the world. Negotiations were first begun in America, but nothing came of them, and Burns went to England to gather what easy money was in sight in that country. When Burns became the idol of the English.

GEORGE DIXON.

LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHXSOX. 33

and Irish sport-loving public by his decisive victories over their best men, Fitzpatrick made another move in his campaign by going to England and trying to force Burns into a match. The demands that the champion made for his end of the purse, win, lose or draw, were considered unfair, and Burns lost much of the good wishes of the public by the severe criticism of the British press.

Many thought that the next move in Burns' campaign of evasion would end matters and that Fitzpatrick would never get for his negro boxer the chance for the title. This was when Burns set sail for Australia from England, a point that seemed too far off for the other combination, whose funds were being fast used up in their pursuit.

Fitzpatrick and Johnson, however, did not give up the chase, for they had the word of Burns that he would fight when his demands were acceded to. Over in the Antipodes the champion was finally cornered, for a promoter, Hugh Mcintosh, was found who was willing to

YOUNG PETER JACKSON.

LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON. 35

guarantee Burns $30,000, no matter what the outcome, and Johnson was only too willing to accept $5,000 as his end. Mcintosh, who is a man little more than thirty years old, showed great nerve in arranging all the details, as he stood to lose a vast amount if the interest did not prove enormous.

One of the big initial items of expense was the building of a stadium at Rushcutter's Bay, capable of holding twenty thousand persons, at a cost of $10,000. The advance sale of seats, however, for nearly a month before the scheduled date assured the success from a financial standpoint. Seats sold as high as $50, and the cheapest bench to be had cost $5.

No event in a generation aroused the Australians as did this fight. An association of clergymen made an effort to have the mill stopped, but their attempt proved unavailing against the outburst of popular enthusiasm. The Premier of Australia, himself an old-time athlete, was just as much interested in the combat as the ordinary " bushwhacker," and

JOE WALCOTT

LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON. 37

many of the leading business men and those identified with the government showed their eagerness to see the battle by their purchase of choice seats long before the date set.

In place of the jibing criticisms that were meted out to Mcintosh because of what the Australians thought was foolhardiness, there is nothing now on the island continent but words of praise.

Rumors of all kinds were rife that the fight would be "fixed" and that Johnson would be bought off. When it was said that Buns had wagered 810,000 on his chances many 01 the ' ' wise " sport followers were further convinc ^d that Burns had been up to some more crafty tricks. That the battle was to be strictly on the level was asserted by Mcintosh in the fol- lowing cablegram over his own signature :

1 ' The fight will be absolutely on the level. You can bet on it with confidence. Johnson would not have chased Burns for nearly twelve thousand miles to get a match and then throw it. while Burns would not l lav down ' to a

LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON. 39

negro. The earning capacity of either of these men in the event of victory would be greater than by indulging in a fake. So take it from me that the mill will be decided on its merits."

Now that Fitzpatrick's campaign in follow- ing Burns to the other side of the world with his negro challenger has ended in success he- will be hailed as one of the shrewdest handlers of fighters in the history of the ring. Fitz- patrick had Peter Jackson when that negro was the most feared heavyweight in the game.

Corbett was the only champion aspirant who had nerve enough to face Jackson, and even Jim "passed up" Peter after their famous "no contest" at San Francisco. Sul- livan drew the color line on Jackson, and Fitzimmons was frank enough to admit that he wanted none of Jackson's game. Jackson failed to take care of himself and was down and out when Jim Jeffries whipped him.

Fitzpatrick also handled George Lavigne, when he was the lightweight champion.

The Johnson- Burns match was the first heavyweight championship battle staged out- side of the United States in years. John L. Sullivan won the title from Paddy Ryan at Mississippi City nearly thirty years ago, and James J. Corbett beat Sullivan in New Orleans. Bob Fitzsimmons whipped Corbett in Carson City, Nev., and James J. Jeffries defeated Fitzsimmons at Coney Island.

Burns whipped O'Brien at Los Angeles and defeated Bill Squires, the champion of Australia, in San Francisco. Then he went to England and beat Gunner Moir, the cham- pion of England, in London. He also van- quished Jem Roche, the champion of Ireland, in Dublin.

Sullivan fought only one battle abroad while he was champion, his memorable contest with Charlie Mitchell in Chantilly, France. It was a draw. Jackson whipped Slavin in Lon- don for the championship of England and Australia.

BURNS-JOHNSON BATTLE.

The fight was scheduled to take place at eleven o'clock in the morning of December 26, 1908, and so great was the excitement and the desire of the Australians to see it that hundreds came from the outer districts the night before and slept in the open in order to be on hand in the morning. One hour before the bell was to be rung for the contest every seat was taken by a crowd estimated at between eighteen and twenty thousand persons, who had paid into the box office a sum estimated at from $150,- 000 to 8175,000,

IN THE RING.

At 10.42 a. m. Johnson entered the arena, accompanied by his seconds, Sam Fitzpatrick, Mullins, Unholz, Lang and Bryant. Wild cheers greeted him, and the big black man turned and bowed to all four sides of the ring.

Just as Johnson took his seat Burns ap- peared. He was smiling and the plaudits of the spectators were even more enthusiastic than those accorded Johnson. Burns took up his position in the western corner of the ring, surrounded by his seconds, Keating, O'Keefe, O'Donnell, Burke and Russell.

When the cheering had died down some- what Johnson crossed over and shook Burns by the hand. The Canadian glanced at the big mauleys of the Texan and noticed that both were covered with bandages. Fearful that perhaps they might not be of the soft surgical kind he scrutinized them closely, but rinding them to his satisfaction, he made no objection.

The announcement was made that if during:

46 LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON.

the contest the police should interfere and stop it, the referee would immediately give a decision based on points scored.

When Burns stripped it was noticed he wore elastic bandages about his elbows. Johnson shouted across the ring, half angrily, "You must take those off." Then the men met in the centre of the ring and for a few minutes argued the question. Then they retired again to their corners, but Burns did not remove the bandages.

From Johnson's seconds came the announce- ment that their man refused to fight unless Burns took off the wraps around his elbows and it looked as though there was a possibility of the fight not taking place, for Burns was stubborn and Johnson insistent on his point. The referee, however, here took a hand in the controversy and said that the wearing of band- ages was not against the rules. Johnson still demurred, nevertheless, and Burns with a show of impatience had his seconds unwind the tape. His action brought forth from the

LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON. 47

spectators a tremendous round of applause.

Johnson scored a clean knockdown in the first round. He caught Burns coming to him and nailed him on the jaw with a great left hand uppercut. Burns was on the floor for four seconds, and when he got up he clinched to save himself.

In the second round Burns was as strong as ever, but in a fierce mixup he slipped and fell. He was up quickly and mixed it until Johnson beat him off with body blows and hot jabs in the face.

As Burns took the defensive the negro laughed at him and said: "Stand up and fight like a man." As the third round opened Johnson put in a fierce swing which cut Burns' eye open and then made it close like an oyster. Burns rushed and swung wildly, the negro dancing away and then stepping in with facers and stomach punches.

Johnson showed so much superiority that Burns' followers were thunderstruck. The gigantic negro was so swift that he made

48 LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON.

Burns look much like a green amateur at times.

Johnson continued to outpoint the white man in the fourth round. The colored boxer missed very few blows and fought with great care and judgment. He continually laughed at Burns until the latter was furious. Johnson showed that he was the master at all stages and at this early period it looked to be a sure tiling that Burns would lose.

Burns was desperate in the fifth round and rushed to close quarters. He landed several hard swings on the negro's head, but no real damage was done. Then Johnson beat him off with cutting left handers, which drew the blood from Burns' damaged optic and nose.

Burns fought wildly in the sixth round, missing many swings and receiving stinging facers whenever he got to close range. Johnson scored a clean knockdown in the seventh round and Burns was groggy when he arose. The white man clinched to save himself and stuck out the round.

From the seventh to the end of the twelfth

LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON. 49

round Johnson proceeded to put it all over Burns. He cut Tommy's mouth open and banged his damaged eye repeatedly. Burns was game and took the walloping without a sign of flinching.

Johnson knocked Burns down again with a right hander on the jaw in the thirteenth round. Burns was still game, but he received such a merciless beating that when the round ended the police wanted to interfere. But Burns told them that he was still strong and could go on.

When the fourteenth round started Johnson rushed to finish his man. He rained a storm of blows on Burns' head and body and finally knocked the Canadian to the floor in a helpless condition. Burns took a count of eight and when he got up he was reeling. Johnson rushed again, but before he could score a knockout the police jumped into the ring and the fight was over.

Burns was cut to pieces, while Johnson escaped with only a few slight bruises. The

50 LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON.

negro then received the referee's decision on points.

After the mill Burns had no excuses to make. Johnson said the result was never in doubt and complimented his rival for his plucky showing".

THE BATTLE BY ROUNDS.

First Rouud.— After a few moments of preliminary sparring Johnson reached Burns with a sharp upper cut and the Canadian went to the floor, remaining there for the count of eight. He signalled to his seconds that he was all right, however, and when he arose sailed in for Johnson's body. Johnson swung a hard right to the head, and Burns staggered backward marly across the ring from the impact of the blow. Then Burns, rushing in, planted a right of great force on Johnson's chin and by an excellent display of boxing warded off a return. Johnson, nevertheless, managed to put through a stinging left to the head at the sound of the gong.

Second Hound. — When the gong clanged Johnson yelled across to the approaching Burns, " Come right on," and he swung his right and landed hard on Burns' chin. The champion's ankle gave way under him and he went down. He was up immediately, however, and Johnson got to close quarters with him and placed right and left to face and body. Burns' left eye here commenced to swell. Johnson thus far had the better of the battle.

LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON. 5 1

The big black man was coming all the time and he swung a terrific left into Burns' stomach. Burns was doing but little. He was bleeding from the mouth and apparently was tired. The men were clinched as the bell rang.

Third Round. — Burns swung his right to Johnson's head and then did some wonderful execution at infighting, chopping his right to the ribs frequently. Johnson dur- ing the round landed some terrific blows to the kidneys.

Fourth Round. — When the men met in the centre of the ring Johnson shot a heavy right into Burns' ribs. The men talked wildly to each other, each seemingly intent upon getting the other excited and landing the money winning punch. During the jeering they sparred fiercely, but few blows were struck. Then Johnson swung left to the body and Burns brought right to head. Johnson, closing in, threw a terrific right and left to the head of the Canadian. The bell found the men in a hard clinch.

Fifth Round. — Apparently refreshed from his minute's rest, Burns started the round briskly, landing his right on Johnson's head and punching the body with both hands. Johnson managad to slip over a few rights to the head during the round.

Sixth Round. — Johnson rushed and Burns clinched. Breaking loose, however, with one hand, Johnson swung his right a dozen times into the white man's ribs. Burns jolted Johnson's body frequently and swung his right hard over the ribs and put a stiff left to the s:omach several times. Johnson treated these blows as a joke, laughing at the crowd and making sarcastic remarks to

52 LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON.

his opponent as lie bustled Burns into a corner and scored a couple of rights to the body.

Seventh Round. — Johnson rushed Burns across the ring, dealing out rights in which there was no mercy. Burns got a left to Johns m's jaw and Johnson raised a lump under Burns' right eye in return. Burns here seemed to be losing strength. Johnson was landing re- peatedly on Burns' eye, meanwhile addressing the people about the ringside, and though Tommy was working dexterously at infighting he placed several terrific blows on Burns' ribs, dropping him to the floor for a few seconds.

Eighth Round. — Burns' eyes were puffed up and he was bleeding from the mouth when he emerged from his corner. The white man's blows apparently had little effect on the Texan, who went severely about belaboring the head of the champion.

Ninth Round. — "Come on, Tommy; swing your right!" yelled Johnson as the gong rang. Burns re- sponded by calling the negro a "yellow dog." There was not very much fighting, probably more talking, dur- ing this round.

Tenth Round. — Both men seemed tiring. Johnson still used his fists effectively on Burns' head and stomach and Burns "was doing all he could in reply. His blows, how- ever, lacked steam.

Eleventh Round. — The perspiration pouring off the body of Johnson made it look not unlike highly polished walnut. Burns tried to cross his right over, but Johnson cleverly avoided him meantime laughing at the champion.

LIFE AND BATTLES OF JACK JOHNSON. 53

Burns is outclassed and Johnson apparently is invulner- able. When the bell rang Burns limped to his corner.

Twelfth Round. — Johnson continued to rush end Burns took a tremendous lot of punishment gamel}T. His jaw is greatly swollen.

Thirteenth Round. — Johnson continued to play for the injured eye and the cut mouth of Burns, which was swollen twice its normal size. Blow after blow the colored man rained upon him, and the gong alone saved the white man from defeat, for he was reeling and groggy as it rang.

During the intermission between the thirteenth and fourteenth rounds the police officials consulted together, and it seemed probable that they would stop the fight in the next round Mcintosh went to Burns' corner and had a talk with the champion, who declared that he was strong. Mcintosh then asked the police not to interfere.

Fourteenth Round. — Johnson went right after Burns when time was called. The white man warily backed away, but Johnson, following him up, dropped Burns with a heavy right to the head. "One, two, three," slowly counted the referee, and Burns remained down until eight seconds had been tolled off. When he arose Johnson flew at him like a tiger, and, using both hands unmercifully, soon had the champion tottering. The police then jumped into the ring and stopped the fight.

Hugh D. Mcintosh, the referee, immediately declared Johnson the winner. He added that he considered it the best fight he ever had witnessed in Australia and that both men had fought most fairly.
