HOW 1T WAS WON.
The Details of Three Rounds Are
Given.

The following are the detailed
rounds:
Round 1-Corbett, at the call of time,
sprang to the centre of the ring, with
his man just emerging from his corner.
Corbett fought with the same style of
guard employed so successfully in the
combat with Sullivan. Mitchell's
guard was low, with his left hand
tending downward, and his right went
in over the heart. The Englishman
was forced to the south ropes by feints,
and for a full minute the men stood,
or pranced, feinting and folding about.
Mitchell finally shot out his left for the
body, falling short in his efforts, Cor
bett endeavoring to counter unsuccess-
! fully. They came together in a clinch,
Corbett at once anticipating his OPP
ponent's move by putting the heel of
his opened glove up against Mitchell's
nose. Mitchell then, after a couple of
efforts, got in with his left on the
stomach of the American, Corbett
and bringing color to the Briton's face.
Mitchell twice led for Corbett's ribs,
landing both times, but was short in
each instance. Corbett confined nurS-
ing his man around the sides of the
ring as Shaefer would the worries in a
! long rail run. Corbett landed lightly
with his left Mitchell making good
with two body blows, one to the short
ribs and the other to the chest, both
light, and landing without leaving any
superficial traces. Mitchell again sent
out his left, falling short, and doing no
harm. On another lead from Mitchell,
who was being penned against the
ropes and thus forced to lead, Corbett
! planted light left over the heart of
the Englishman. Mitchell once more
tried to fight his man off by leading
with his left, the American countering
with his right for his head. Mitchell
avoided it by his clever and famous
duck. Just before time was called he
led for Corbett's face, landing lightly
as man going away from it, and then
following it IN. he repeated the blow.
When Corbett went to his corner a
smile of self confidence lit up his fea-
lures as if to say, He's weighed and
found wanting
Round 2-Corbett, as in the first
round, got a corner and kept Mitchell
up against the ropes throughout the
round, Mitchell once reaching the cen
ter by taking to his feet and getting
out of the tight corner in which Corr
bett 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 a like manner.
Corbett forced the foreigner to the
southeast corner with his right and
on Mitchell ducking an upper-cut. the
latter with short arm left Mitchell
ran in on Corbett after this, the Amer
lean driving him off with a left hand
blow in the region of the kidneys. Cor
bett shot out his left "hook" to
AIitchelPs face and, drawing hack
quick for a repeater, found the
Birmingham man with his left arm
about his own neck in clinch. Cor
bett brushed Mitchell off and, getting
him in close quarters a second later,
sent in right hand upper-cut to the
heart of the alien. Mitchell cleverlv
got away from a left hand swing.
Corbett, who evidently saw he had the
battle won, followed in, and at close
Quarters brought his right in over
Mitchelrs heart. The blow was pow
erful one, and had much to do with the
speedy success that came to the cham
pion. 1t was at this juncture that

after the heart blow, and Kissed at
