round. He also wins about SIS, 900.
From start to finish the Californian

without q scratch. On the contrary,
John L. was unable to deliver an
effective blow. For the first time he
was confronted by . man who would
stand UP close to him. so close that
their toes were together frequently.
But Corbett, though standing close,
lodged nearly every blow. He showed
great generalship and delivered won

Never was heavyweight champion

not land hard enough on Corbett to
hurt him during the entire fight Cor
bett was fresh and strong when the
fight was over and did not show a
mark. Sullivan had met his master;
science and skill had triumphed over
American born. talented, and clean cut.
and he cannot fail to become popular.
He will become the public idol and fill
more gracefully the place Sullivan has
so long occupied.
Sullivan was found in his dressing
room after the fight, surrounded by a
crowd of his sympathizers. His face
was puEed and battered, but he was
not hurt much. When he went down
to rise no more it was the second time
in his career that ne had been knocked
down. Charley Mitchell once accom-
plished the feat in Madison Square
garden, but no one else ever
did it. Sullivan's friends only expia-

said so himself. When he was led
back into his room at the club house he
fell into chair, buried his swollen face
in his hands and sobbed like a baby.
