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

SAM FITZPATIUC'K, HIS MANAGER.

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

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

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.
