Sullivan tapped with his open left and
received a straight left on his sore nose.
Corbett then walked around and every
time the big fellow led his side step
took him out of danger The last
blow in the round was a swinging left
handler on Sullivan's victualing depart
ment . ..

SulJivan's left eve was swollen. Sulli-
van stopped left Corbett put his left
on Sullivan's nose and then on his
stomach in quick succession. Both were
good blows; the latter made him finch
sullivan led, and they got to a clinch.
Sullivan hit twice while in clinch, and
there were cries of foul A moment
later In n hot rally Corbttt split Sulli-
vans lip with straight left-hander.
SEVENTEENTH ROUND.
Sullivan slow in coming up He led
twice, but both were short His left
hand blows were simply open-handed
taps Corbett put his left clear on Sui
livan's face without catching any thing
from the big fellow, and then got home
with the same hand on Sullivans stom-
ach. Altogether the round was spirit
less and neither did any thing worth
recording. Corbett did what little
fighting there was.
EIGHTBENTH ROUND.
The first blow of the round was a left
straight on Sullivan's face. Corbett
backed from Sullivan, and when the
latter came forward smashed him on
the nose. A moment later he swung
his left on Sullivan's ribs The big fell
low received another visitation from
Corbett's left. Sully returned with his
right on the ribs. Corbett straight
jabbed with his left on Sullivan's
mouth and followed with his left on the
sore. A second later, when the big fell
low attempted rush, he was stood off
by another straight left, which he ran
into.
NINETEENTH ROUND.
f., Both were easy at first. Sullivan
landed on the breast with his left. He
tried another, but Corbett was out of
range. Corbett put his left twice in
fast succession in Sullivan's stomach.
1t was like two drum-taps He landed
another in the same place. Sullivan
rushed, but Corbett stopped him with
three red-hot ones on the mouth and
nose Corbett wound up the round by
hitting the champion hard in the face
with his left, The crowd cheered loudly
for Corbett Sullivan in this round was
very slow, while Corbett was as fast
and fresh as he was at first The show
ing of the Californian up to this time
was magnificent He had 90 per cent.
the best of it.
TWENTIETH ROUND.
Sullivan is on the defensive. He
backed when Corbett went to him.
Corbett rushed him to the ropes and
landed three right handed swings, one
on the big fellows left ear, two straight
lefts on Sullivan's stomach, and two
swinging rights on his jaw without re-
turn, which set the house to yelling.
Then he followed Sullivan to the corner
of the ring, and with the same motion,
apparently, first hit with his left on the
face, and then with right on the stom-
ach. Next, he rushed Sullivan to the
ropes, and the big fellow seemed de-
fenseless. Corbett used his left and
right with impunity, landing clean and
hard on neck and jaw. Sullivan was
catching it hot and heavy at tho close
of the round.
TwENTY-FIRsT ROUND.
At this point Manager Brady, who
was in Corbett's corner, remarked,
"Why Jim has him now if he wants to
get in and finish him. Why the boy
isn't breathing hard, and he doesn't put
his strength in blow yet" Just then
they came to close quarters, Corbett
feined with his left as if to go for
Sullivan's stomach. Down went the
big fellows guard, and quick as q
flash around came Corbett's right
with the force of trip-hammer. He
had put on his full strength at last. 1t
struck Sullivan straight in the ear and
sent him groggy. With the bound of
panther after its prey the Californian
was on him He was like demon.
Sullivan was dazed, and his hands fell
to his side. Corbett's next blow stag
gered him, and he followed it mp with
shower of rights and lefts. The
champion turned, staggered feebly
and fell full on his face.
He lay there until Referee Duffy
had counted off seven seconds, and
weak and od-besmeared he rose to
his hands and knees, but was too feeble
to get up. In attempting to do so he
pitched forward again and lay there till
the ten seconds were counted off. Corr
bett had won the championship of the
world without even sustaining as much
as a scratch, and was apparently as
fresh as at the start, while Sullivan's
nose was broken, his lips swollen, and
he was severely bruised about the face
and ribs.
