no show whatever with him in clinch
He is as quick as a featherweight, and as
powerful as Sullivan. We were bitter en-
emies before the fight and tried hard to
punish each other, and we may have lost
our heads for the time being. As to
fouls we were even. He struck me a
light blow before | was on my feet and
struck him twice on his going to his cor

being able TO last longer. / don't want
any one to tell me that Corbett can't
strike a wicked furnishing blow. l
thought l could worry him by infighting,
but found him very much at home there
himself. l have seen Sullivan's wicked
looks, but | never want TO see another
