NEw YoRK, April Is James Corbett de-
feated Dominick McCaffrey in four round
scientific bout last night at the Brooklyn
Casino The contest was tame one. Nc.
Caffrey did not seem to bein good condition
and acted wholly on the defensive Corbett
was in fine form and had the best of his op.
ponent throughout. In the third and fourth
rounds McCatfrey was very weak. and Cor.
bett had his hands at his side almost ali ths
time except when he struck out. Twice
the Californian had McCaffrey against the
ropes pummeiling him like good fellow.

arm, slapped the big four ounce glove on
Dominick's mouth and held it there. Nc.
Caffrey was unable to move until his enemv

two good hands all the way through. In
the fourth round he got McCaffrey in a
rally near the ropes and beat a tattoo on
him. Ono right sander landed plump on
the Pittsburger's stomach, and McCaffrey
fell on the ropes with head and one arm
