course that instead Of being planted
firmly, it grazed
MITCnEiI'S HEAD ON TOP.
Again he Mitchell corner set up a cry
of foul, but the referee diSaliowei 1t,
claiming that it had done no harm.
Mitchell fell in on COroets as he got to
his feet 10 escape another swing. and
then Snapper" Garrison pounded the
big gong for time. Corbett heard it and
turned and went 10 his corner. Instead
Of going 10 his, the EngliShman bounded
for COrOett, catching TIE latter just as
he was getting into his chair. 1t
was right hand swing, and the
warnings of CurGett'S seconds did
not stay it, 1t landed Oh Corbett'S
well-I"UI I'D Fead and glanced
off harmleSslv to the shoulders.
Foul cried Erady, but Corbrit shook
his head. and Mitchell was carried TO
his corner gro~yy and worn out with the
work of The rLuiid.
Round / hree andLast--The beginning
of the end, inaugulated in the previous
round, WAS here brought TO
\ SUCCESSFUL. END.
Never was man 50 completely, so sir
nally, and, for a fighter, so disgrac,
fully beaten as was Mitchell i'll this,
probably the last tiIhe the BritiSher Will
ever respond 10 the call of Center,
gentlemen"
He came up with his nostrilS dilating.
anu his regular teeth set on a mass of
cCagulated blood " klch must have
found its way upward from the fearful
crashes that had been sent into the
heart. CorEett was unsecured. There
was not q scratch visible on his face.
His hands were holding out i'll adult
rable fashion, and lie made up his mind
20 decline issues where they involved
punches on The hard surfaces of Nit
chelI'S body. There were two fights
which CorGett wanted 10 win. One iii
which personal resentment was the
stake, and the other. VI ich carried with
it gCodsized purse and SHE wager.
The former had already been wiped of
the calendar, aid COrtett started in to
pass on the other. Mitchell WAS
slow in coming up. COrbett going
straight for him. Mitchell led his lief.
in an attempt 10 keep Corbeit at arms
length. 1t as the last lead Mitchell
made. Getting inside of the lead, the
men clincEed, Corbett brushing the al
legged strong man eff as if he were
boy. AS he pushed him away, swift as
a flash crossed 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, ana then
slipped off 10 the rosihed floor. Corbett
turned about after delivering the blow,
and honchalantly walked to his corner.
He sat down and watched the writing
form of his adversary as towering Kelly
called off the TateIGl seconds. Mitchell
had not fallen, nor did he remain down
TO escape punishment this time. The
powerful right IF the American, had il
landed right. might have felled an OK as
# with a malIet. TIE idea that Corbett
had no punching power. if not already
diSSipated, vanished. Six seconds after
ward Mitchell writled about under the
ropes, and finally labored to an upright
position. Corbett thought that the fight
had already been won. The referee
stood between tie 1ecumbent form of
Mitchell and C0rbett, and when the
former struggled tiiZZiy 10 his feet
Kelly stepped aside so as not 10 obStruct
the champions view, calling his atten-
ton to the fact that the Englishman
was in fighting attitude. Corbett
leaped from bis seat 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 catapult. 1t was right-handed
swing which next was brought into
play, and it was delivered while at full
speed. The added weight of Corbett's
own running was lent to the blow.
and when it landed it fell
sQuarely OH the point of the jaw.
Mitchel's head fell forward on his
breast, his lower jaw dropped. his left
hand fell Imply to his side, the right
falling under his body in the descent.
His body reached the floor face down
ward. and he lay there as lifeless as one
dead. There could be no further
doubts. There was not one chance in
thousand that he would recover ill.,
side the prescribed ten seconds. His
face turned slightly to tie right, and
from his mouth and noStriis ooZed the
blood in tiny streams. Kelly had count
ed the ten seconds slowly enough, and
in his deliberation about the matter
there was much OF mercy. When the
timp had tip=Iiv RIM limit EnIIx,
with wave of the hand toward Cor

at the same time reckoning the seconds
of Mitchell 10 their man Pony Moore,
jim Hall and Steve O'Donnell stopped
down over Mitchell, O'Donnell applying
q bottle of ammonia 10 the nOstrils of
the Engiishman. He lay there despite
this. and the three picked up the
limp body and slowly carried it
to his corner. Here the bottle was
again put to Mitchell, ana nineteen sec
ondS after the last blow had been sent
IN, the eyes of The man from England
opened dIeamily. YOU'RE out" SAID
Pony Moore. Mitchell made no re-
spouse verbally, but shrugged his Shout
derS as if thinking of the spilled
milk story. His long English bathing
gown was forced over his arms. and he
was slowly led from the ring to the dress
ing room Corbett. III the meantime,
was being besieged by a crowd of his
friends. They fairly wrung off the
arms OF The victor. HIS first act after
the fight had been won and lost was to
throw his still gloyed hands about the
waist of his little manager and hacker,
and the two indulgrd i'll what sounded
very much like a kiss. Kelly shook
Corbett by the hand, hourished the $50.
