Duffy then announced the result of his
examination TO the Corbctt party. Corbett
smiled as if he had not expected any to be
found, but did it to rouse Johns blood up
to the point where he would lose both his
temper and his Judgment.
Three minutes later and both men ad-
vanced to the center of the ring to shake
hands. Sullivan scowled, quickly grabbed
the hand of his antagonist and then half
dropped, half flung it away with derisive
gesture
Corbetts chuckle could be heard half
through the clubhouse. All the blood in
the champions body seemed to have rushed
into his neck and face. He was beside him
self with rage, and only growled at his
second, who whispered to him. His friends
felt fearful Of the result then, for Corbett's
GOODNESS was something they had not cal
culated on, and Sullivan's anger would be n
serious handicap if not indeed an all sutfi-
cient one to defeat him. This was the con-
dition of the men, mentally and physically,
as they stood facing each other. The fol.
lowing is the fight by rounds:
The Fight by Rounds.
Round This was a ridiculous exhibition Of
prize fighting. Sullivan made no less than
seven feints with the left for Corbett, but Cor
bett ran around the ring each time and no
blow was struck
Round 2-COrbett made no effort to do any
thing but walk around. The big fellow stood
up leisurely and looked at Corbett, who then
let go a left on Sullivan's shoulder, and a cnch
followed. On the breakaway Corbett touched
him on the breast. Another cnch followed,
and Corbett tried to land his left on Sulivan's
face. Jim did get in a slight blow on the stom-
ach before the second round ended and the
crowd was happy
Round 3-Sullivan missed q left handler for
the jaw and then touched him on the stomach.
1t was rattler-of no harm, however. The
first good blow struck was by Corbett, who
ran in on top of run by Sullivan. Corbett
also reached two lefts on Sullivan's body.
Whenever Sullivan led COrbctt duckcd and
John could not touch him This occurred
three times.
Round 4-Sullivan made two runs at Corbett,
but Jim ran away and no blow was struck
Sullivan continued to run in on him, but Jim's
feet were too good for the big follow and he
slipped away like a good sprnter Sullivan
laughed at the business, and Corbett let his left
go lightly on Johns face. John laughed the
more and returned his left on Corbett5 back
as Jim turned away.
Round 5-In this round Sullivan caught Cor
bett fairly hard blow on the chin, but Cor
bett ClinChed and nobody was hurt Sullivan
missed with the left and followed that with a
trifler on the shoulder with the left. Sullivan
made rush and Corbett went at him. What
followed is hard to describe Corbett smashed
him with right and left on the stomach and
face and had the big fellows nose bleeding in
no time-right and left and Sullivan was not
In it. Corbett hammered him as Dixon could
smack Skelly, and the great champion be-
came so surprised that many persons said that
he was grOggy. The activity and ceverness
shown by Corbett was so admirable that tho
house got up and yelled.
Round 6-Corbett jumped around like cat
and worried the big fellow, getting in two
light blows on the stomach Sullivan missed
one left handler for the face, but otherwise
nothing was done in the round
Round Two slaps on the body, one from
each, opened this round, and after bit of
fighting COrbett let his left 20 on Johns
stomach. John did not seem to mind it, but
Corbett went at him and gave him two good
smacks on the face with his left and two more
soon after. Sulliyans nose was bleeding again
/ freely. Corbett ran in and rushed Sullivan to
the ropes, letting go right and left on the big
fellows body. Sullivan could make no return
He was tired when he went to his corner,
though he had done nothing in the round but
I take punishment.
Sullivan Worried and Weary.
Round s-Sulivan came out worried looking
He made left hand lunge at Corbett, but Cor
bett ducked cleyerly In a rally Sullivan
landed his right on the ribs but Corbett got in
two good left jabs on the body, one in the face
and again two light ones in the face and two on
the body. Sullivan seemed to be PLAYED out OF.
waiting for chance to land the knockout
blow.
Round 9-Corbett again led, but without of
feet Sullivan led his left, but Corbett duclsed.
Then Sullivan gave him backhander on the
face, with but little harm, and gave him an
other left on the shoulder. Sullivan did NOT
show any want of wind, although Corbett hit
him five times one after the other three on the
body and two on the face Corbett was away
ahead in points, but his blows did not seem TO
weaken the big fellow who appeared only tired
Round lO-Corbett stood up to his man like a
major, and the men eyed each other like nan.

The same again. Sullivans left found Corbett,s

Round lit now began to look like a long
fight. Sullivan could not get in "A straight blow
on the clever Californian, and Corbett could
not hurt John L. when he did land. A couple
of light passes and a good deal of running
around by Corbett Corbett hit Sullivan in the
face with his left twice, and with left and right
Corbett walking around. Corbett got two good
cracks on Sullivan on the face and stomach.
Round l2-Sullivan was still steady and It
looked as though they might fight 100 rounds.
Corbett got in his left three times in the stom-
ach within three seconds getting away each
time and running around. Great cleverness
/ was shown by Corbett in the way he iaJbed

bett ran away, and when he came back he
laughed. Sullivan tried the same thing twice
now and each time got jab with the left ON
his stomach.
