and distinct battles to win. Some time since Mitchell applied to me . name which 1 should scorn to hurl at the lowest of wretches. This was one reason why re- fused to shake hands with him. The hand shake would have been the action of a hypocrite. 1 despise the man for the foul name he used. and my heart revolted at the idea of taking such man by the hand, even though it is the custom. notified the referee not to call upon me to grasp his hand, for I should decline to do SO pub licly. am glad that this was spared me. In cutting Mitchell in the first and second rounds won the personal issue; in knock ing him out in the third round I won the purse and retired Mitchell's aspirations for the championship. I am proud of both accomplishments, and with the personal vindication and the financial gain I am content to rest on my OATS until next June, when hope to demonstrate to people who think to the contrary that have a punch or two left over from this battle for Jack son.n
 This is what Mitchell said: .It Is all over now, and 1t can't be helped. only wish I'd been in it little longer. shall never fight again. I have no complaints to make, and am great deal like the old saying, I'd been all right except for the other dog bear no hard feeling, and can say that America has reason to be proud of the greatest fighter who ever stood in 8 ring. l don't care who goes against him; if he keeps his health, he will never be beaten. l am satisfied that he can defeat me at any time"

 Story of the Fight.
 It was a short, sharp and decisive fight too brief to have any of the elements of savagery in it. It WAS a foregone conclu- sion from the moment when the men stepped to the center of the ring. Corbett's Latred of the Englishman coming to the surface inhibited him from shaking hands with the man who had so uniformly abused and insulted him. There was all but murder in Corbett's eyes. They faced each other, and the intense feeling of hatred almost gave Corbett the fight as he cornsred the Englishman, and as his long arms shot out with the force of catapuls there was vengeance in the wind.
 Mitchell showed wonderful cleverness in the Beginning in getting out of the close quarters into which the superior size, reach and weight of his opponent bore him, but there was no faltering in Cor bett's plan of campaign, and he slowly surrounded the Briton, raining in upon his head and sides 8 shower of savage punches.
 There was despair in Mitchelps face as he tried vainly to elude his agile pursuer. and finally when Corbett closed with his opponent In an off corner Mitchell realized that it was no longer possible for him to escape the battery of the American.
 He pluokily tried to spar, and, failing sought to clinch, but Corbett finally beat him off and with sharp blow on the side of the jaw brought the Englishman on all fours. It was then that the crowd broke loose in wild shout of applause. Corbett's Uncontrolled Rage. With the cheers of his friends ringing in his ears and with the memories of the past crowding fast upon him, Corbett lost hii head, and with the agility of tiger and | the terrible anger of lion he sprang to ward the pitiable Englishman on the rough rosined platform, and describing 8 semi circle with his right tried to land knock | out blow. Twice he tried this, but Mitch | ell's weak and wabbling body saved tn. | American from foolishly sacrificing ths honor and the glory that have come to him from his now decisive battle with the Eng lishman.
 There were cries of foul from the crowd although the sentiment of the vast throns was then plainly with the American. Cor
