The producers of auricular cauliflowers opened another mill last week. When it closed down for the night, Jack Renault, French Canadian heavyweight, had knocked out Floyd Johnson, lowan. Fifteen rounds were required for the operation. The 15 sealed forever Johnson’s claims to the heavyweight championship; but they showed him to be one of the most unflinching fighters that ever wore a glove; he will always be somebody’s sparring partner. Renault showed considerable skill but no vestige (in either hand) of the crushing cannon ball which alone can dent the Dempsey crown.
