Jack Johnson wins world heavyweight boxing title from Tommy Burns
1908
Jerome D. Travers
Travis was still in contention. He took the medal for the sixth time
and won a 41-hole match from Henry Wilder, 6 and 5, of Brookline. But
it was Travers' era and he repeated, this time at Garden City, where Travis
had won his first title.
The event was held in September and Travers defeated Max H. Behr, 8
and 7, in the final.
