As the time set for the fight ap-
preached the Duval club added another
TO the long list of disreputable actions
which has characterized its mana cement
of the fight. 1t began to let i'm at s. and

who had refused to pay more and would
not come in at a higher price. Manager
Bowden. when it was announced that
even the working newspaper men should
be charged $50 each for admission. was
asked by an Associated Press CORE
spondent:
Are you going to sell these tickets
any cheaper tomorrow"
Never" he replied. II give you my
personal word Of honor that $50 will be

took s. and passed them through the
door to sit beside the men who paid S25
and s35, and many Of them $50 for ad-
mission
At 1:52 Mitchell drove through the
gates, seven minutes less than one
hour after the arrival of Corbett. He
was driven at once to his little dressing
room and prepared for the battle.
The spectators. who were rapidly grow
ing Disguised with the long delay, lost
no time in attributing the trouble TO

merely holding off everything until the
arrival Of the afternoon trains.
At 2.1O o'clock bat" A1asterson of the
Mitchell party appeared in the arena
and in reply 10 question said that
Mitchell was in the very best Of shape
He said that Mitchell would be seconded
by Jim Hall. Steve O'Donneu and
Pony" Moore, the father-in-law Of
Mitchell Masterson said that ne would
act as time-keeper for the Englishn1an
AS the time sped away and no sign of
the fighters appeared, the crowd re-
lapsed from restlessness into something
like Indifference, with the idea that no
fight would be seen for an hour. At
2:0S Billy Madden broke this by climbing
into the ring. Before he could speak a
yell, "COrbett at the door," announced
the arrival Of the champion. Hats and
umbrellas went wildly into the air as Cor
bett. clad in a long bath robe with
brown stripes, walked through the aisle
He was for a time unable TO proceed on
account OF the throng of people who
pressed around him. No sooner was he
seated in the ring than another yell at
the door announced Mitchell's arrival.
As Mitchell climbed into the ring at
2:1215, Corhett's face was a study. He
eyed Mitchell with interest, and a sar-
donic smile played over his face. which
said as plainly as words:
Il have you now
Mitchell was impressive, neither smil-
ing nor saying anything.
Brady and Delaney then evoked more
enthusiasm by turning the Irish and
American flags and hanging them over
the post on the southeast corner of the
ring.
Denver Ed Smith declared that he
wanted to fight the winner for $4,000

BOTH PUT UNDER ARREST,
hut Friends Immediately Furnish Sc
curity for Their Release.

Just as Corbett's carriage was ready
to drive off a deputy sheriff got on top
with the driver, and the startling an
nouncement was made that the Ameri-
can champion was under arrest. Mitchell
did not escape. Sheriff Brownard walked
over to the Englishman's carriage just
before it was ready to start, and
Mitchell was notified that he must again
face the law. The two men were only
technically under arrest. They sub
mitted without resistance and friends

where he was given a bath and slight
rundown, was taken to the court house.
With him were Billy Thompson and
Col. Cockrell. The party went TO the
sheriff's private Office and messenger
was sent to hunt up Judge Call. before
whom habeas corpus proceedings were
brought in behalf of both pugilists.
Mitchell looked none the worse for his
hard punching. The Englishman sat
down in the sheriff's Office TO await the
arrival Of Judge Call.
The arrest was caused by Attorney
General Lamar on the charge of fight
ing and previous appointment.

COrbett and Mitchell at Last Recon
ciIed-Thc Briton Sorry.
Corbett and Mitchell after the fight
shook hands and bridged the chasm be-
tween them. 1t was not a proceeding,
however, which was at first relished by
the champion. The reconciliation was
brought about by the officials of the club
when the two fighters stood as compan-
ions before the bar of justice. While
waiting for the proceedings to begin the
men were the center of different groups.
Jim, l want you to go with me and
shake hands with Mitchell said Joe
Vendig.
"Oh, no; ] don't care to do that" re-
piled Corbett HE has said so many
mean things about me that 1 don't care
to make up
but you're the winner and it's your
duty" urged Vendig.
well, all right; I'll 60" finally said
Corbett, and forthwith he walked over
to where Mitchell was sitting. Mitchell
got up and warmly took the hand that
was offered him, and then there were
explanations.
Mitchell said he had often been mis-
quoted. but it was true that he had said
mean things of COrbett, but that was
when he did not know what kind of a
fellow the champion was. Now he was
willing to let by-gOnes be by-gones and
to admit that he had ill-used Corbett.
and then referring to the fight, said
that he had met better man and had
been fairly licked. Then some one came
up and interrupted the conversation, but
not before the lOng-eXiSting fued between
the men had been settled.

It was fully two minutes before
Mitchell came to himself again and he
then said. to nobody in particular: IT'S
all over. eh?"
''All over, Charley" was the response,
and with a long-drawn sigh Mitchell
subsidized into silence. He left the ring
not long after Corbett. ind dressing him

and returned to the city. The crowd. for
the most part. left before either puEilist
departed from the arena.
The general feeling was one of keen
disappointment at the poor fight put up
by Mitchell. and of disgust at having
paid so much money for SO small a COM
bat.
Corbetts demeanor throughout the
preliminaries was a study. He sat in
his corner, presenting a picture not I'M
like that Of an Indian warrior when
Mitchell came into the ring. His long,
pompadour hair. his striped robe, thin
face and tightly compressed lips. made
him look very much like an Indian
chieftain.
When Mitchell stepped into the ring
the look on Corbetts face was frightful.
He kept moving his head gently forward

Never was man so completely, so sig

beaten as was Mitchell in this, probably
the last time the Britisher will ever
respond to the call of center, gentle
men," He came up with his nostrils
dilated and his regular teeth set on
mass Of coagulated blood, which must
have found its way upward from the
fearful crashes that had been sent into
the heart. Corbett was unsecured. There
was not a scratch visible on his face.
His hands were holding out in admira-
bic fashion, and he made up his mind

THE FIGHT N DETAIL.
COrbettS Feeling of Revenge Almost
Loses Him Honor and Glory.


Loses Him Honor and Glory.
1t was a short. sharp and decisive
fight, too brief to have any of the ele-
ments of savagery in it. 1t was a fore
gone conclusion from the moment when
the men stepped to the center of the
ring. and Corbett's hatred of the En-
glishman coming TO the surface. in
hibited him from shaking hands with
the man who had so uniformly abused
and insulted him. There was all but
murder in Corbett's eyes. They faced
each other. and the intense feeling of
hatred almost gave Corbett the fight as
he cornered the Englishman. and as his
long arms shot out with the force of q
catapult, there was vengeance in the
wind
Mitchell showed wonderful cleverness
in the beginning. crawling out Of the
close quarters into which the superior
size. reach and weight of his opponent
DOre MN, but there was no faltering in
Corbetts plan Of campaign and he slow
ly surrounded the Briton, raining in
upon his head and sides a shower of
savage punches. There was despair in
Mitchelfs face as he tried V3inly to
elude his agile peISuer, ana Ilnally Wnen
Corbett closed with his opponent in an
off corner, Mitchell realized that it was
no longer possible for him TO escape the
battery of the American. He pluckily
tried TO spar, and failing, sought to
clinch. but Corbett finally beat him Off
and with a sharp blow on the side of
the jaw brought the Englishman on all
tours.
1t was then that the crowd broke
loose in wild shout OF applause. With
the cheers of his friends ringing in his
ears, and with the memories Of the past
crowding fast upon him, Corbett lost
his head, and with the agility of tiger
and the terrible anger of lion, sprang
toward the pitable Englishman on the
rosined platform and describing a semi
circle with his right. tried to land a
Knockout blow.

and cold. cruel smile played about his
thin lips 1t was a smile that was ugly,
il meant that no mercy, respite nor any
thing would be granted 1t was a smile
that carried a feeling of murder with it,
and if Mitchell had never been uneasy

comfort if he saw it. It said as plainly

Wild Enthusiasm.

Mitchells PROSTATE form was quickly
reached by O'DOnnen and he was car
RED senseless TO his corner. While they
swabbed his pale and blOodstaine1 face
the enthusiasm Of the crowd for COrbett
knew no bounds. They climbed over the
ropes, clasped his hands, reached under
the ropes and touched his legs and. from
first to last. they yelled. They yelled
when Corbett stood up and howied with
delight when he sat down.
"Oh, see him put on them pants. :"
yelled one enthusiast as the champion
performed a prelude to an appearance
outside Of the ring. Corbett heard the
words and they tickled him greatly. He
looked around and laughed heartily and
then he evoked more applause by put
ting on his brown striped bath robe.
They left the ring followed by hun
dreds Of wildly cheering men.
Meanwhile in the opposite corner OF
the ring a far different scene was going
on. Jim. Hall, with bitter recollection
