Round Three.
Mitchell came up with his nostrils
dilating and his regular teeth set on
masa of coagulated blood, which must
have found it's way upward from the
fearful crashes that had been sent into
his heart. Corbett was unsecured, not
scratch being visible on his face.
Mitchell was slow coming up and Cor
bett went straight for him. Mitchell
led his left in an attempt to keep Cor
bett at arms length. 1t was the last
lead Mitchell made. Getting inside of
the lead the men clinched, Corbett
brushing the alleged strong man off as
if he were mere boy. Swift as a flash
crashed in the deadly right of the
American clear to the jaw. Mitch
ell went down under the force
of the blow. In the fall he
swung across the lower rope, poised
there an instant and then slipped off to
the rosined floor. Corbett turned about
after the delivering blow, nonchalantly
walked to his corner, sat down and
watched the writing form his OF adver-
sary as Kelly called off the fateful sec
onds. Mitchell had not fallen nor did
he remain down to escape punishment
this time.
The idea that Corbett had no punch
ing power if not already dissipated
vanished six seconds afterwards.
Mitchell writhed about under the rope
and finally labored to an upright posi-
ton. Corbett thought the fight had al
ready been won. The referee stood be-
tweent the recumbe form of Mitchell
and Corbett and when the former strug-
gled dizzily to his feet Kelly stepped
aside so as not to obstruct the cham
pion's view. Calling attention to the
fact that the Englishman was in a
fighting attitude, Corbett leaped from
his seat and with bound few
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 hand swing
next brought into play and was de-
livered while at full speed. The added
weight of Corbett's own running
weight, was lent to the blow and when
it landed it fell equarelv on the point of
the jaw.
Mitchell's head fell forward on his
breast, his lower jaw dropped. his left
hand fell Imply to his side, his right
falling under his body in his dissent.
The body reached the floor face down
ward and lay there lifeless as one dead.
There could be no further doubt; there
was not one chance in thousand that
he would recover inside the prescribed

slightly to the right and from the
mouth and nostrils oozed blood in a
tiny stream. Kelly counted ten
seconds slowly enough and in his DELHI
GRAFTON about the matter there was
much of mercy. When the time had
finally run its limit Kelley with wave
of his hand towards Corbett's corner.

same time reckoning to the seconds OF

jim Hall and Steve O'Donnell stopped
down over Mitchell ODonnell applying
bottle OF ammonia to the nostrils of
the Englishman. He lay there de-

the last blow had been sent in, his
eyes opened dreamlly.
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 he was slowly
led from the ring to his dressing room.
Corbett in the meantime was being be,
sieeed by crowd of friends and 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 the two INDUCED in what sounded
very mucn like kiss.
Kelly shook Corbett by the hand

and told him it belonged to him on de
mand and the international battls
which has kept the political world al
well as the fistic world agog for nearly
year was over.
