corlett caught Sullivan on both sides OF ths
heed close 20 rharopss, and this same dose The
Californian repeated within another second
Iorhelt followed this up with seven more
blows oi The same kind and Sullivan could not
protect himself Sullivan could not get IN a
single blow Ia return Ho was plainly groggy
and weak Clrhett was very fresh and sonn-
dent 60 tho sound of the gong, 80 which time he
was smashing Sullivan az a great rate with left
and right on both Sides Of The head.
Round 2lIn regard 20 this trining minute
and % half, which decided the heavyweight
championship of the world, great deal might
ie said even in that shor, time. That the CON
test would end in chat round no man present
believed. Sullivan came from his corner I'm the
same shape shat he had shown for dozen
rounds before. He had the same cross expires
sion ON Dis face and seemed To- DE strong as
GO any Time during that period. He continued
TO 90 Che "odgng inN and Corlott followed
his original tactics OF "cdgng away" This
sort of trade was not going GA worry long, not
moro than ten seconds when Corbott jumped
back rushed forward, hit John on tho nose
and John was dazed Corhott won't go hitu fur
thor, and the Same old nose was again smashed
and moro blood came out John looked as
founded, ard C0rhott jumped back with the
merry smile oi % schollhoy with big apple.
Suddenly he returned TO the Fray aud before
Sullivan know what WAS the meaning of the
Californian 3 huppy look hc got "a crack ON the
side of tho houd that made him close bis eyes.
With this Corbett was ON top of him limo time.
Lott hand ou one side of tho head and right
hand ON the other, poor John T.. Sullivan be-
came an unconscious, beaten man. He stag
gored about on his pins for q second or so, and
while displaying this fatal weakness Corhett
wont down on him agnin, as % crow lights on
corn where there IS NO dummy ia the middle OF
the field. a right ON the car nud q left on tho
jaw settled the business and tho championship.
The last hiow sent the great John j. Sullivan
20 the floor with "a thump, tho second time in
AN dis long career as q fighter that ho had over
been knocked down, bat ho was down this time
fairly and finally 10 was clean and clever
knock ont blow. Sullivan doubled mp his logs
ns though ia PAIN but ia another instant
seemed Co collect his senses and made an effort
TO rise. lie failed la that. and tried the second
time with tno same result. He was Knocked
out, pure and simple His seconds had Co como
20 him and assist him 20 his corner Even thon
John L. was out and did not know what was
going on. 10 was not Tor over two minutes
that John L. recovered himself
suillyan's Manly speech.
In the meantime Corbett had retired TO
bis corner, on the order of tho 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, Corhetts manager,
eprang to tho stage and flung their arms
around the young man who wns now tho
champion pugilist of the world and tho
winner Of $4,000 in purse and stakes, as
well as a reputation TINT will turn perhaps
ten times that amount into his oxchequer
Corhott returned tho cordial salutaton
with a hearty embrace, while the tears
welled up into hiaeyes Others jumped up
to the clever Californian and Rugged HIM
They had probably won money at or 8 to /
on Jim.
While this hugging was going on Sul-
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 AIcAulif'e who was tanning him with
the towel, and after opening his eyes half
way, or as far as be- could, said in his moro
than ordinary bootleg voice:
essay, am / lickedl Did that young fell
low do itp
McAulife 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 Corbetts
hand and then spoke to the crowd
"Gentlemen," said the ex-champion, 81
am only glad that the championship has
been won 10y an American
This speech brought down the house as IL
has not been affected during an the week
There was a great wild and woody west,
hot southern, mad, enthusiastic yell when
Corbett knocked John j. Sullivan out, but
that noise was not more than a marker to
the Wild madhouso demonstration that
the gang made when John Il. said those
manly words.
