Corbett caught Sullivan on both sides of the
head close to the ropes, and this same dose the
Californian repeated within another second.
Corbett followed this up with seven more
blows of the same kind and Sullivan could not

TO do the "edging in" and Corbett followed
his original tactics of "edging away" This
sort OF trade was not going on very long, not
more than ten seconds, when Corbett Jumped
back, rushed forward, hit John on the nose
and John was dazed Corbett went at him fur
ther, and the same old nose was again smashed
ana more blood came out. John looked as
founded, and Corbett jumped back with the
merry smile of schoolboy with a big apple.
Suddenly he returned to the fray, and before
sullivan knew what was the meaning of the
Callfornians happy look he got crack on the
side OF the head that made him close his eyes
With this Corbett was on top of him in no time
Left hand ON one side of the head and right
hand on the other, poor John l.. Sullivan be-
came an unconscious, beaten man. He stag
gered about on his pins for a second or so and
while displaying this fatal weakness Corbett
went down on him again, as a crow lights on
corn whore there is no dummy in the middle of
the field. A right on the ear and a left on the
jaw settled the business and the championship
The last blow sent the great John l.. Sullivan
to the floor with thump, the second time in
all his long career as fighter that he had ever
been Knocked down, but he was down this time
fairly and finally. 1t was clean and clever
knock out blow. Sullivan doubled up his legs
as though in pain, but in another instant
seemed to collect his senses and made an effort
to rise. He failed in that, and tried the second
time with the same result. He was knocked
out, pure and simple His seconds had to come
to him and assist him to his corner. Even then
John L. was out and did not know what was
going on. 1t was not for over two minutes
that John L.. recovered himself
Sulliyan's Manly Speech.
In the meantime Corbett had retired to
his corner, on the order of the referee,
while the man who has so long been known
as the champion of champions was counted
out and carried to his chair. When the ten
seconds were at last at an end Professor
Mike Donavan, of the New York Athletic
club, and w. A. Brady, Corbett's manager,
sprang to the stage and flung their arms
around the young man who was now the
champion pugilist of the world and the
winner of $4,000 in purse and stakes, as
well as reputation that will turn perhaps
ten times that amount into his excheuuer
Corbett returned the cordial salutation
with hearty embrace, while the tears
weled up into his eyes Others jumped up
to the clever Californian and hugged him

on Jim.
While this hugging was going on Sulli-
vans handlers were pouring water over
him and placing ammonia to his nose, and
with much trouble brought him around.
When he did come to he looked up at
Jack McAuliffe, who was tanning him with
the towel, and after opening his eyes half
way, or as far as he could, said in his more
than ordinary bootleg voice:
''Say, am l lickedi Did that young fell
low do It'll"
McAuliffe sorrowfully admitted that that
was the case, John didn't say any more
until Corbett came over and shook hands
with him. John got up, took Corbett's
hand and then spoke to the crowd
Gentlemen" said the ex-champion, 81
am only glad that the championship has
been won by an American"
This speech brought down the house as it
has not been affected during all the week.
There was a great wild and woolly west
hot southern, mad, enthusiastic yell when
Corbett knocked John l.. Sullivan out, but
that noise was not more than marker to
the wild, madhouse demonstration that
the gang made when John L. said those
