Round Two.

Round Two.
Corbett, as in the first round,
got the stage corner and kept
Mitchell up against the ropes through
out the round, Mitchell once reaching
the center by taking to his feet and
getting out of tight corner in which
Corbett had hemmed him. Corbett led
with his left, reaching the face with a
jolt which shook the man from her
majesty's domain. Mitchell led with
his right, Corbett getting out of reach
and then retaliating in like manner.
Corbett forced the foreigner to the
southeast corner with his right,
Mitchell ducking an upper cut retail
ated with a short-arm left. Mitchell
ran in on Corbett after this, the Ameri-
can driving him off with lett hand
blow in the region OF the kidneys.
Corbett shot out his left "hook" to
Mitchell's face and drawing back quick
for repeater found the Birmingham
man with his left arm about his own
neck in a clinch. Corbett brushed
Mitchell off and getting him in close
quarters second later sent in a right
hand upper-cut to the heart of the
alien. Mitchell cleverly got away
from left hand swing. Corbett, who
evidently saw he had the battle won,
followed in and at close quarters
brought his right in over Mitchell's
heart. The blow was powerful one
and had much to do with the speedy
success that came to the champion. 1t
was at this iuncture that Mitchell first
got to the center of the ring. The
crowd saw him wheel about after the
heart blow and hissed at him as he ran
away from Corbett, some of the spec
tators crying out aloud above the din
of cheers and Kisses. "Chantilly."
Corbett kept up his pace. He was
bent on finishing the battle as soon as
possible. He sent in his left and right
by turns, smothering Mitchell and
shaking him up to the point where
most men will lose fight. Corbett led
again with his left, coming up full
against Mitchell's wind and doubling
to the neck back of the ear. In an
other instant and in trying to evade q
left feint, Mitchell ran up against an
admirably aimed right which crushed
into his heart just above where the
former one had found Judgement. Cor.
bett once more upper-cut his man with
his right and was handling him now as
he might novice. Mitchell swung hi:
left short and then the native began to
NOW down his antagonist. He led with
his left and again timing himself for 6
recoil, caught Mitchell on a cross-coun-
ter to the side of the jaw. He did moi
reach the vital part aimed at, but tbs
force of the blow was sufficient to send
Mitchell to the ground and under the
lower rope. Corbett crouched over hii
PROSTATE, though conscious foema1
who was looking at him through hi:
half open left eye. The seconds from
both sides bounced inside the rope en-
closure and the confusion was OF ths
most exciting kind.
Referee Kelly tried to force Corbett
away from bis man but he was bent OF
maintaining his position.
From the Mitchell corner shoutins
'Foul' as they ran, came "Pony'
Moore, Jim Hall and Tom Allen. Tht
house was in an uproar. Dempsey
Delaney and Donaldson rushed to tn,
side of their principal and begged hin
not to hazard his chances to secure {
victory by losing on a foul. Kell,
stood over Mitchell his time being oc
cupied in about equal parts in countini
seconds and paving off Corbett. Full.
eight seconds had elapsed from the tim
when Mitchell went to grass until h
regained his feet in STOPPING postur
and Corbett WAS still struggling witt
nis seconds to get at him as he fell owe
on his side and sat on the boards look
ing like deliberate invitation for Coz
bett to commit foul and it proved ire

posture. He evidently regrette

had so veered its course that instead {
being planted firmly it grazed MITCHELL
head on top. Again the Mitchell col
