for the world', champlonahip.

Br FRANK G. MKNKB SYDNEY. Australia, Sept 29 Forty

eight hours before the Tommy Burns-

Jack Johnson fight was to take place here, on Dec. 24, 1908, the principals

were In a hopeless deadlock, over the

referee question. "Things looked bad" related Hugh D. Mclntoshj who promoted 'what was then 'the fight of the century.' "And then Johnson came into my office and, without any preliminary remarks said : " ' I'm through with this fight unless you will referee. I know yauH give a negro a square deal. I can't say the same for everybody around here. , " "Without a word to Johnson I picked up the telephone and got Burns. " 'Johnson is here in my office and says he won't fight unless I referee,' I told him. 'How about it? " 'You'll suit me burns said. "And that's how I came to be referee as well as promoter of the fight. "I reached the rena on fight day about 10 a. m. and soon afterward went Into a little dressing room to put on some referee regalia. The fight was to start at 10 : 30 a. m. . At exactly 10:25 the manager of Johnson came to the room and said: Wants More Money

" Johnson told me he won't get into

the ring until you boost his guarantee from $5,000 to $20,000. And he's got to have the cash in hand before he will step out of the dressing room." "I turned to the manager and said: "'Tell Jack Johnson that Hugh Mcintosh said that if he isn't in the ring by 10:30 he will be in the Sydney morgue by 10:45.'

"Five minutes later I heard a cheer. One of the fighters was in the ring.

The cheer subsided, then another

cheer arose. And then I knew that it wasn't going to be necessary for Johnson to be carted off to a morgue. "As I climbed through the ropes, Johnson rushed at me from his cor

ner, and. swinging me around so I

faced Burns, howled:

"'I don't fight unless he takes off

those bandages.' "The day before Burns had scraped

the elbows of both arms and had them bandaged up. I explained the situation to Johnson. But the big black leaned down and snapped: " 'Those bandages come oft or there'll be no fight.' "Then he went back to his corner, put on his bathrobe, and sat with chin resting on his gloves and his arms on his knees. I walked over to him, pulled out my watch and said: Issues Ultimatum " 'As soon as I get" through talking to you I'm going to the timekeeper and tell him to ring the gong one minute later. If you don't answer that bell, I'll count you out in your cor-

! ner,, award the fight to Burns, ana jyou won't get a dollar of your $5,000 guarantee.' "I jumped to the other part of the I ring and told the timekeeper to ring i the bell exactly 60 seconds later. ; Then I leaned against the ropes, j watching Johnson. He never shifted

from his position. "Thirty seconds elapsed forty fifty! Johnson sat like a statue. Five seconds remained of the minute when Burns, realizing what was going on, jumped and ordered his seconds to re

move the bandages. "While that was being done, I

WITNESS IN ABEL'S

CASE IS ASSAULTED

bandages were off did he make a move. Then he got up, shed the bathrobe, and, when the bell finally rang, he was ready. "Jack Johnson cinched victory in the very first clinch of that fight Ho caught Burns with a terrific righthand uppercut and dropped Tommy like a log. The blow loosened Tommy's jaw and subsequent punches so dislocated it that Burns was unable to shut his mouth. "Tommy, as game as they ever were made, got up after the knockdown in time to beat the count and stalled around through the rest of the round until his brain had cleared. "But it wasn't a fight at any time afterward. Tommy played right into Johnson's hands. The negro wanted Tommy to go to him and Tommy did. Every time Tommy went in, Johnson

drove in his left and then whipped over some rights. "The uneven struggle carried along for over 13 rounds. Round by round Johnson secured the revenge he seemed to want by chopping Tommy Burns to ribbons. He made desperate tries to knock out the white man but, pitiful as was his condition, Ttmmy still was strong enough to take all that Jack had and keep to his feet Use Old Tricks "Through the last three or four rounds, Johnson's handlers were using the old trick of yelling 'Stop that fight' 'stop that fight' so as to influence me as referee. Some of the people in the crowd took it up. But I wouldn't simply because I had promised each man that I would not stop the fight until one or the other had been counted out. "In the 14th, when Johnson scored his second knockdown, and Tommy was a terribly weakened, bloody sight, the chief of police, unable to stand it longer, jumped into the ring and ordered the bout halted. "I yielded to his demands and so it was Jack Johnson, became the first negro heavyweight champion."

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 29 Charles C. Ray, who appeared as a government witness at the preliminary hearing Thursday before a United States commissioner on the charge of illicit sale of whiskey against Robert H. Abel, formerly acting group of chief in charge of federal prohibition agents, reported to the police eartly today that he was assaulted by four or five men and severely beaten at a roundhouse at Thirty-eighth street and Keystone avenue. Ray, the police say was intoxicated' when he came to police headquarters and reported the assault. He was slated at the City Prison on a charge of drunkeness. Ray told the police he had appeared as a witness against Abel in federal court, and he asserted he thought the

attack might have been a result of his

testimony.

Bert C. Morgan, federal prohibition director for the state, said today that

Ray is not, and never has been, em

ployed in the department. He said Ray had been with the prohibition

men many times in an effort to ob

tain employment, but that ne naa

never been paid for any work. Abel was bound over to the federal grand jury, Thursday afternoon by Charles W. Moores, United States commissioner, on a charge of conspiracy to violate the prohibition law. He was placed in the Marion county jail for failure to give $2,500 bond. Winkler Testifies at Hearing George Winkler, chief of the enforcement agents in the Indianapolis district testified at the commissioner's hearing that May if, 1921, he went to Greenfield and obtained 144 quarts of bonded whisky from Sheriff New. This liquor, he said, had been seized from a truck in which it was being transported through the state. Lyle, who at that time was employed by the federal prohibition forces, testified that he assisted Winkler In bringing the whisky from Greenfield. Later, he said, Abel told him he had a "proposition" to make and that he offered to give $1,000 to him if he would sell $2,500 worth of whisky for him. Lyle said Abel said he had been dealing with Ray on such a proposition but that "Ray won't work right. He wants all the money." Lyle testified that he had sold 22 quarts of whisky at $10 a quart and that he turned the $220 over to Abel. Lyle testified also that he sold some

junked stills to Louis Selig, a junk

dealer, and that nine quarts of whisky were taken from the federal building

with the stills. Alexander Cavins, as

sistant United States district attorney, admitted the transaction of selling the

stills was legal, but submitted evi

dence of it to corroborate the testi

mony of Lyle that whisky had been taken from the federal building at the

same time as were the stills. Says He Sold $900 Worth Lyle, in his testimony, said he dis

nosed of $900 worth of whisky for

Abel and received in return a loan o

$5, when he should have received $300

as his share of the proceeds. Som3

of the liquor sold, he said, was "white mule." Lyle testified that Abel had said that his (Abel's) brother needed

some of the money obtained from the

sale of liquor. He testified that Abel's

brother had told him that he had sold

enough whisKy to Duy a small au

tomobile.
