in the center OF the ring. Jim landed
two stomach punches, but got two light
punches on the head. A fearful left
hand iab on the nose was presented to
John, and he got a hot one on the head
for being too familiar. Jim's left found
the champions stomach and face and
also the head. Later John l.. landed
right punch on the ribs that sounded
all over the house, though he got left
ewing in the stomach moment later.

although he got four heavy rights on
the face. This was all Corbett's round.
Round 19-Both men we're quick to
respond. They both boxed cautiously,
Sullivan landing and Jim retaliated on
the stomach and then stepped away
from heavy right and the champion
looked tired. Sulliyan's left was con-
tinualiy in motion, seemingly from the
rattles. The Californian looked too
clever for him, and he laughed sarcas-
tically at the champion as he leisurely
boxed for an opening. Corbett landed
two quick lefts in the stomach and Sui
livan lost his temper from q staggering
right; rushed at his opponent, but he
looked Ike o beaten man.
THE CHAMPION pEFEATED.

his left was very short. He was blow

he was the same resolute, ferocious man
of yore. Both exchanged rights and
Sullivan was beaten to the ropes with a
right andleft. Tho champion was nearly
knocked down with the left on the
stomach and right on head. Corbett
was dead game and unhurt SO far. Sui
liyan tried a right and received five
clips on the head and stomach. The
champions knees were shaking and he
seemed unable to defend himself. Sui
livan was fought to the ropes with
heavy rights and lefts and the gong
seemed his only safety.

spond to time. Sullivan's left lead was
very weak, and no seemed anxious to
wait. His opponent was with him, how.

bonnet, and the champion received
left on the nose. Sullivan was trying
for the right, though he made little
attempt to send it home. Sullivan
was beaten down by heavy rights and
leits, falling to the groand. He at
tempted to rise and fight, but nature
gave way and he fell and was counted
out, and Corbett was proclaimed the
champion of America by Referee Duffy.
The ovation that Corbett received was
something tremendous, and he walked
around the ring kissing and hugging his
friends.
