His wretched condition showed itself in
his face, which putfed and disc olored
under every blow.
lie was receiving only what he had
administered to scores of men before
him, and there was scant pity in the
faces of the frenzied mob that had
commenced to realize that q new
champion had arisen. Sullivan's rest
between the twentieth and twenty-first
round did not help him, and, despite
McAuliffe's- -~herculean efforts, Sui
Ivan was wabbling when he adj
vanced to the center. The first
sign OF a weak and groggy man is q
trembling ofthe right leg, and Sullivan
seemed unable to straightep that men,

he was at the champion like a bull
He had no longer become even cautious,
and went right to mixing it up near
Sullivan's corner. He landed with the

in pleading manner, but there was
no mercy for him. The fend incarnate
could not have been more Infatuated
than was COrbett at that moment
Corbett finally steadied himself and
swung his right with fearful force 1t
landed on the mouth of the weakened
Vulcan, and he fell helpless and inani-
mate mass in the river sand of the ring.
The blood was gushing from his mouth
in perfect stream and he must
have blcd quart during the next
minute. The brute courage which has
been part of the man during his career
asserted itself, and with the effort of
desperation he staggered to his feet,
but before Corbett could reach him he
fell, back helpless. He was up again
only to fall in u tangled mass Of bruised
flesh and fat-covered Drawn. Before
he could attempt to rise again the gong
sounded end the fight had gone down
to history.
Sullivan was carried to his corner in

a full minute while his seconds worked
with all kinds of restoratiyes to bring
him to. They succeeded finally, and
with wonderful vitality he walked to
the center of the ring and made his

the ring once too often and was sorry,

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
brute force. The new champion is
American borA, talented, and clean

At the finish men acted like the in
mates of an insane asylum when the
building was on fire. They howled
like maniacs, smashing hats, tearing
each others coats and shirts and yell
ing until their voices gave completely
out. Then they rushed to the street
and the nearest barroorn.
Sullivan was found in his dressing
room after the fight, surrounded by a
crowd of his sympathizers. Ills face
was pulled 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 he had been knocked
down. Charley Mitchell once accom-.

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

and others stood about him. 1t was nc
