AIitchelrs head on the top. Again Mitch
elI's corner set up cry OF toul but the
referee disallowed it, claiming he bad
done no harm. Mitchell fell in on Cor
bett and got to his feet to escape another
swing, and then Snapper Garrison
pounded the big gong for time. Corbett
heard it and turned and went to his cor
ner. Instead of going to his, the English
man bounded for Corbett, catching the
latter just as he was getting into his chair.
1t was right-hand swing, and the warn
ings of Corbetps seconds did not stay it.
1t landed on Corbett's well-rounded head
and glanced of harmlesslv to his shoul-
ders. 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.
Round 3-Mitchell came up with his
nostrils dilating, and his teeth set OH q
mass of coagulated blood. which must
have found its way upward from the
fearful crashes that had been sent into
the heart. Corbett was unscarred. Not
scratch was visible on his face. Mitch
ell was slow coming up. Corbett going
straight for him, Mitchell led his left in
an attempt to keep Corbett at arms
length. 1t was the last lead Mitchell
made. Getting inside of the lead, the
men clinched, Corbett brushing the al
legged strong man off as if a mere boy.
Swift as flash 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 OF to the roslned t1oor.
| Corbett 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 remain down to escape pun
ishment this time. The idea that Cor
bett had no Furnishing power, if not al
ready dlsslpated, vanished six seconds
afterward. Mitchell writhed about under
the ropes, and finally labored to an up
right position. Corbett thought the fight
had already been won. The referee stood
between the recumbent form of Mitchell
and COrbett, and when the former strug
gled diZZily to his feet Kelly stepped aside
SO as not to obstruct the champions view,
calling attention to the fact that the Eng
lihman was in lighting attitude. Corbett
leaped from his seat and with a bound
flew at Mitchell. The latter was fifteen
feet away, dizzily leaning up against the
ropes. Corbett came at him as if out of a
catapult. a right hand swing was next
brought into play, and was delivered
while at full speed. The added weight of
Corbetts own running weight was lent to
the blow, and when it landed it fell
squarely on the point of the jaw. Mitch
ELF S head fell forward on his breast, the
lower jaw dropped, the left hand fell
Imply to the side, the right falling under
the body in the descent. The body
reached the floor face downward, and lay
there lifeless as one dead. There could
be no further doubts. There was not one
chance in a thousand that he would re-
cover inside of the prescribed ten Sec
onds. His face turned slightly to the
ri inh ct,.il,
oozed blood in tiny streams. Kelly had
counted ten seconds slowly enough and
in his deliberatiOn about the matter there
was much of mercy.
When time had finally run its limit
Kelly, with wave of his hand toward
Corbett's corner, shouted: "Corbett
wins" at the same time beckoning the
seconds of Mitchell to their man. Pony"
Moore, jim Hall and Steve O'Donnell
stopped down over Mitchell, O'Donnell
applying bottle of ammonia to the nos
trils of the Englishman. He lay there
despite this and the three picked up the
limp body and slowly carried it to the
corner. Here the bottle was again ap-
piled to Mitchell and nineteen seconds
after the last blow had been sent in his
eyes opened dreamily.
You're out" said Pony Moore.
Mitchell made no response verbally, but
shrugged his shoulders as if he was
thinking of the spilled milk story. His
long English bathing gown was forced
over his arms and be was slowly led from
the ring to his dressing-room.
Corbett in the meantime was being be-
sieged by a crowd of friends They
fairly wrung off his arms. His first act
after the fight had been won and lost was
to throw his still gloved hands about the
waist of his little manager and hacker
and the two INDUCED in what sounded
very much like kiss.
Kelly shook Corbett by the hand, flour
ishing a 20,0O0-roll of bank bills, and
told him it belonged to him on demand,
and the international battle which has
kept the political world as we'll as the
tistic world agog for nearly year, was
over.
THE FIGHTERS SHAKE HANDS.
JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 25.-The lighters
were in the courtroom together this
evening, and through the efforts of Joe
Vendig, the long cherished animosity of
the two men toward each other was
buried. Though they had not exchanged
the usual handshakes in the ring, either
before or after the battle, they cordially
shook hands in the courtroom. Mitchell
made little speech, i'll which he ac-
knowledged having uttered many bitter
sayings against Corbett, but said he re-
gretted them, and was glad he had been
W0lpp6u ny HAL WOfluy III every way
to wear the champions honors. There
was general applause in the room over
the reconciliation, 1t is not thought
here that the court proceedings will be
more than formal.
THE BETTER MAN WON.
PITTsBURG. Jan. 25.-Peter Jackson,
when asked his opinion of the big fight,
replied II do not want to say too much
about the battle, but let me say emphati-
cally that Charlie Mitchell has proven
himself to be one of the most courageous
men that ever entered the ring. Alter to-
day nobody can say Mitchell is coward
Why, he is as game little man as ever
stepped. l have to fight Corbett next
June, and sincerely hope VIII beat him.
He was the better man to-day. 1t was
not a question of rounds, but simply a
case of the better man winning"
JOHN LIS OPINION.
WILMINGTON (Del.) Jan. 25.-John L.
Sullivan said tonight that he expected
Corbett to win. ''1t was case of a good
little man against good big man, and
the big man always wins in such a case.o
When asked if he intended to challenge
the winner, Sullivan said he had not yet
made up his mind, Corbett already
had match on with jackson. He would
wait until that was over before deciding
about challenging Corbett.
