Iof the blow was sufficient to
Isend Mitchell to the ground
and under the lower rope. Corbett
crouched over his PROSTATE, though
conscious, foeman. 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
Corbett away from his man, but he
was bent on maintaining his position.
From Mitchelrs corner, 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 haz-
ard his chances of a sure victory by
Mitchell, his time occupied in about
equal parts in counting the seconds
and paving off Corbett. Fully eight
seconds had elapsed from the time
when Mitchell went to grass until he
regained his feet in a stopping posture,
and while CoTbett was still struggling
with his seconds to get at him, he fell
over ON his side and sat on the boards.
1t looked like a deliberate invitation
for Corbett to commit a foul and 1t
proved irresistible for the champion.
He jumped at his foeman, and swing
ing his right, struck Mitchell while the
latter was still in a sitting posture.
He had evidently regretted sending the
blow for, as it landed, he had so veer-
ed its course that, instead of being
planted firmly, it grazed Mitchelfs
head on top. Again the Mitchell cor
ner sent in a cry of foul, but Referee
Kelly disallowed it. claiming it had
done no harm. Mitchell fell in on Cor
bett as he 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 corner. Instead of go
ing to his, the Englishman bounded
for Corbett, catching the latter just as
he was getting into his chair. 1t was
a right 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 sneered, and Mitchell was car
ried to his corner, groggy and worn
out with the work of the round.

his regular teeth set on mass of
coagulated blood, which must have

In the fall he swung across the lower

and it was delivered while at full

turned slightly to the right and from
the mouth and nostrils oozed blood in
tiny streams. Kelly had counted the ten
seconds slowly enough, and in his de-
liberation about the matter there was
much of mercy. When the time had
finally run to the limit, Kelly with a
wave of his hand towards Corhett,s
