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 at close quarters,
and brought his right in over Mitchell's
heart. The blow WAS a powerful one,
and had much to do with the speedy
success that came to the champion. Ii
was at this juncture that Mitchell first
got the center of the ring. The crowd
saw him wheel about after the heart
blow snd Missed at him as he ran away
from Corbett, some of the spectators
crying out aloud above the din OF the
cheers and Kisses ''Chantilly." Cor
bett kept up his pace, he was bent on
finishing the battle as soon as possible.
He sent in his left and his right by
turns, smothering Mitchell and shaking
him up to a point where most men
would lose a fight. Corbett led again
with his left, coming up full against
Mitchelps wind and doubling TO bis
neck back OF the ear. Another instant,
and in trying to evade left feint,
Mitchell ran up against an admirably
aimed right, which crashed into his
heart just above where the former one
had found Judgment. Corbett once
more upper-cut his man with his right
and was handling him now as he might
a novice. Mitchell swung bis left
short and then the native be-
gan to NOW down his antagonist.
He led with his left, and again timing
himself for recoil, caught Mitchell on
cross-counter to the side OF the jaw. He
did not reach the vital part aimed at,
but the force OF the blow was sufficient
to send Mitchell to the ground and under
the lower rope. Corbett crouched over

who was looking at him through his
half-open left eye. The seconds from
both sides bounced inside the roped
enclosure and the confusion was OF the
most exciting kind. Referee Kelly tried
to force Corbctt away from his man. but
Jim was bent on maintaining his posi-
ton. From Mitchell's Garner, shouting
''foul'' as they ran, came Pony" Moore,
Jim Hall and Tom Allen. The house
was in an uproar. Dempsey, Delaney and
Donaldson rushed to the side of their
principal and begged him not to hazard
his chances to secure victory by losiag
on foul. Kelly stood over Mitchell.
his time occupied in about equal parts
in counting seconds and paving off Cor
bett. Fully eight seconds had elapsed
from the time when Mitchell went to
grass until he regained his feet in a
stopping posture, and while Corbett was
still struggling with his seconds to get
at him Mitchell fell over on his side and
sat on the boards, looking like DELHI
crate invitation for Corbett to commit
foul, and it proved irresistible for the
champion. He jumped at his foeman,
and, swinging his right, struck Mitchell
while the latter was still in a sitting
posture. He evidently regretted sending
the blow, for as it landed he had 80
veered its course that instead of be-
ing planted firmly, it grszed MitchelPs
head on top. Again the Mitchell corner
sent up cry of foul, but the referee dis
allowed it, claiming he had done no
harm. Mitchell fell in on Corbett and
got to his feet to escape another swing,
and then snapper" Garrison pounded
the big gong for time. Corbett heard it,
turned and went to his corner. Instead
OF going to his, the Englishman bounded
for Corbett, catching the latter just as
he was getting into his chair. 1t was a
right-hand swing, and the warnings of
Corbett's seconds did not stay it. 1t
landed on Corbett's well-rounded head
and glanced off harmlessly to his
shoulders. Foul" cried Brady, but
Corbett shook his head and Mitchell was
carried TO his corner groggy and worn
out with the work of the round.
Third round-Mitchell came up with
his nostrils dilating and his regular
teeth set in mass of coagulated blood,
which must have found its way upward
from the fearful crashes that had been
sent into his heart. Corbett was I'M

Corbett going straight for him. Mitch
ell led his left in an attempt to keep
| Corbett at arms length. 1t was the
side OF the lead, the men clinched, Cor
bett brushing the alleged strong man off
az if he were q mere boy. Swift as
fash crashed in the deadly right of the
American clear to the jaw. Mitchell
went down under the force of the blow.
In the fall he swung across the lower
rope, poised there an instant and then
slipped off to the rosined floor. Cor
bett turned about after delivering
the blow, nonchalantly walked to his
corner, sat down and watched
the writing form of his adversary as
Kelly called off the fateful seconds.
Mitchell had not fallen, nor did he re-
main down to escape punishment this
time. The idea that Corbett had no
punching power, if not already dissi-
pated, vanished six seconds afterwards.
Mitchell writhed about under the ropes,
and finally labored to an upright posi-
ton. Corbett thought the fight had al
ready been won. The referee stood
between the recumbent form of Mitchell
and Corbett, and when the former
struggled dizzily to his feet, Kelly
stepped aside 80 ss not to obstruct the
champions view, calling attention to the
fact that the Englishman was in fighting
attitude. Corbett leaped from his seat,
and with q bound few at Mitchell. The
latter was Is feet away, dizzily leaning
up against the ropes. Corbett
came ct him as if out of a
catapult. 1t was right-hand
swing that was next brought into play,
delivered while at full speed. The added
force of Corbett's own running weight
was lent to the blow, and when it landed
it fell squsrely on the point OF the jaw.
Mitchell's head tell forward on his
breast, his lower jaw dropped, his left
hand fell Imply to his side, his right
falling under his body in his descent.
The body reached the floor face down
ward, and lay there as quiet as one dead.
There could be no further doubts, not
one chance in thousand that he wonld
recover inside OF the prescribed 10 Sec
onds. His face was turned slightly to
