Itl'KNH LOHHH TITLE TO

KuiM'kout on lliully Itcnten
(unmlluil In the 1 tth.
SYDNEY, N. S. W., Dec. 25. Jack
Johnson, the big negro, from Gal
veston, Texns, is the world s heavy
weight champion. He won the title
today In the big arena at Kushcutters
Hay from Tommy Hums, the French
Canndlan, who had held It since Jas.
I. Jeffries relinquished It, and after
a chase of Burns that led half way
around the world.
Tho end came In the 14th round,
when the police, seeing Burns totter
ing and unable to defend himself
from tho savage blows of his oppo
nent, mercifully stopped tho light.
Previously It had been arranged that,
if the police Interfered, a decision
should be rendered on points, and
Kcferee Mcintosh declared the big
black man a winner, for all through
the fight ho had shown himself
Hums' master In every style of fight
ing. Too Hlg, Itencli Too (Jrr-nt.
Bums, In an interview after he
had gone to his dressing room, said:
"1 did tho best I could and fought
hard. Johnson was too big and his
reach was too great."
Johnson nppeared fresh after the
fight, while Burns' eyes were badly
purred and his mouth swollen to al
most twice Its normal size. He fought
a game bnttle, and showed Indom
itable pluck, but ho was no match for
the big Texns black.
Tho fight wns for a purse of $35,
000, of which Burns received $30,
000, Johnson $5000.
First Ncirro t'liiiiiiplon.
Johnson Is tho first negro who ever
won the world's heavyweight pugl
llctlc championship In fact, he is
the only negro who evor wns permit
ted to battle for the honor. He wns
born hi Galveston. Texns, In 1878.
and began his ring enrcer In 1901.
Ho Is 6 feet 1 3-4 Inches in height
and weighed at tho ringside close to
190 pounds.
Johnson during his ring career has
fought 64 ring battles, and 22 of his
opponents hnve gone down to defeat
by tho knockout route.
Prominent among those who have
been put to sleep by the big black
aro Jack Jeffries, a brother of the
ex-heavyweight champion., who was
knocked out by Johnson at Los An
geles In 1902 In five rounds. He has
lost but two fights, one in a 20-round
decision to Marvin Hart and the oth
er on a foul to Joe .leanette.
Not since tho days of James J.
Corhett has tho prize-ring seen so
Iterfect a boxer as Johnson. Long
and lithe, he is as graceful as a dancing-master
and as true as an arrow In
placing his blows. F.soclally deft Is
he with his left, and few boxers, un
less they have great skill, are able
to keep the big black man from beat
ing their faces to tatters.

Itoseburg women know how the
aches and pains that come when the
kidneys fall make life a burden.
Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spellB, distressing urinary troubles,
all tell of sick kidneys and warn vou
of the stealthy approach of diabetes,
dropsy and Brlght's disease. Donn's
Kidney Pills permanently cure all
these disorders. Here's proof of It
In a Itoseburg woman's words:
Mrs. James Arrance, Pltzer St.,
Roseburg, Or., says: "Doan's Kidney
Pills proved of such great benefit to
me that I do not hnve any hesitancy
In recommending them to anyone In
need of such a remedy. Kidney com
plaint clung to me for a long time
and on some occasions I was given
such misery from pains In the small
of my back that It was utterly Im
possible for me to perform my house
hold duties. There was also a con
stant soreness through the region of
my kidneys and at times considerable
swelling In thoso parts. No remedy
I tried benfltted me and when a
friend Insisted on my trying Doan's
Kidney Pills I procured a box at A.
C. Marsters & Cos drug store and
commenced their use. The good ef
fect were noticeable from the first
and as I continued taking them, the
lameness In my loins disappeared, as
also did the pains In my back."
