SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26.-In the finish
fight between Harris Martin, the BLACK
PEARL" of Minneapolis, and Paddy Cor
man, the Australian heavy weight, for g.
Sl,O00 purse at the Pacific Club tonight,
German was counted out in the fourth
round. The first two rounds were de-
voted chiefly to feinting and sparring at
long range, the men being apparently
very evenly matched German got in
the first blow, good left upper-cut, in
the first round. In the second the 'Pearr'
retaliated, driving him about the ring
with both hands playing for the head.
The men mixed things in the third, Cor
man landing a hard right in the PEARLS
jaw, while the latter sent him to the
ropes weak and groggy, with two-handed
| smashes on the head and ribs. German
| came up in the fourth round very shaky,
but again landed rcsounding left in the
Pearls mouth. The Pearl caught him
with his right on the ribs that sent Cor
man to the ropes. The Pearl then forced
the fight, though all but groggy from
Gornlan'S left punches and telling pace.
The men came together in rally, Cor
man bleeding freely at the nose, and the
Pearl again landed with both hands.
German reeled and fell in sitting pos
| ture. He rose to one knee, but appar-
emily made no effort to rise until the
| timekeepers had counted him out when
| he rose TO resume the fight. The referee,
Bob Fitzsimmons, awarded the fight to
the Pearl amid great excitement, many OF
| the spectators declaring the timekeepers
| too hasty.
