By "Billy" Brady
Paris. June 27—It was a second rate e.xhibition between two mix- jed ale tipflitei-s. This is my opinion of tlie Johnsoii-Morau misnamed figl'l. Had it been held in N'ew York the spectators would have btopiicd the disgraceful affair after ten rounds.
Xot one effective blow was struck liy either man in the entire ontest and there was never the suspicion of a ,jar. much less a knock down. The spectacle of the world's fhampion. superior in weight, science, experience and strength, clinging to his smaller antagonist, expressing in every move and appealing glance his yearning for the final tap of the gong—this was Johnson in the last three rounds.
