came back with left on the wind. An
other left on the stomach brought the
round to close with the men In q
clincb. Ii was clearly Corbett's round
on points.
ROUND THREE.
Jim opened with rush and sent O
left iab hard OIL the wind. Fitz did
not like it and tried to rush in return,
but was wild, with right and left. Jim
stopped another left lead for the heart
and countered smartly on the stom-
ach. Corhett got left OH the wind and
right on the side Of the head. Bob s
stomach showed red blotch where
the Californian's left struck. Bob took
a hand in the forcing and slashing out
wildly, missing with both hands. After
aIlittle long range work Jim shot a right
and left on the body and came into q
clinch and landed his right on the ear
before they separated. Corbett shot a

his left on the body and as Bob came in
to clinoh, Jim piled two stiff rights on
the wind and followed up with another
on the body. Fitz landed a nice left
Oh the jaw after missing the right lead
for the stomach. A clinch followed. Bob
got in straight drive on the wind. A
little hugging followed and for the
first time the rsferee came in between
the men and broke them. Before the
bell sounded a cessation, Fitz put a
neat right on the body and swung his
left to the jaw. Honors were fairly
even.
ROUND FOUR.
Jim again led off with left which
failed co land and they olinched and
broke clean. Bob tried with a right
lead for the head, but missed. Corbett
put hard right punch on the body
and in the clinch swung his right to
the jaw. Bob was determined, but
slow. Corbett commenced to make thing S
pretty lively. They cliuched three
times without blow being struck, then
light left swing on the jaw from Cor
bett was returned with interest by Fitz,
as far as intention went, but Bob's right
and left missed the mark by few in
ches. Cor bett landed two heavy rights
on the wind and put straight lsft flush
in the face. Then Jim planted right
on Bob's ear and easily enoased a right
and left. Jim sent his right to the wind
and Bob olinched taking an upper cut
on the chin before the break. Corbett
seemed to cling to Fitz in clinches as
If TO save his strength. Fitz shot out his
left with terrific force on the wind and
swung vicious right for the jaw which
was shot. Corbett's left landed on the
stomach and he repeated the dose SEQ
ond later. He swung, missed his right
and left. On the third trial he sent his
right to the stomach and followed it up
with two swings on the jaw. Cor bett
was on the aggressive now and after
missing a left for the head be sent his
right across on the stomach. Time was
called with the men clinched and smiI-
ing In each others faces.
ROUND FIVE.
Jim swung hard left on the Jaw.
which made Fitz groggy and the Austria
liam tried to corner his rival, but Jim
was TOO last and got away, sending a
left on the jaw AS he skipped back. Bob
was not ginning quite SO much now.
Jim was bit wild with the right at
the stomach on tbs first attempt. On
the second he landed yiciously on tile
wind. They exchanged hard right body
blows and then Corbett. landeF with both
hands, his right finding the body ard
his LETT the jaw. In the clinch he upper
cut F1tz, and the latter returned the
compliment with right hook on the
jaw. Corbstt sent in two right hand
body punches and they clinched. After
they stepped back Jim's right reached
the wind. Bob oountered with jolt un-
der the chin. A left ja5 from the Cali
fornian made Fits mouthghleed, and
howl Of JOY went up from Corbett's
admirers at the sight of the blood. This
seemed to perve Jim and he came in with
vicious right and left on both sides
OF Fitz's head. Fitz came back with
right swing which caught Corbett Just
above the ear and the Californian
clinched. They stepped back on word
from the Ieferee and then Jim pot a
heavy left on the jaw to which Bob had
had no return. A right on the body
and stiff left on the jaw flush on tho
face made the clarat flow freely from
Fits nose and mouth. He appeared
little ratified. jim was now doing all
the work and he supplemented a right
and left on the jaw with a half arm
punch which was just enough behind

danger. Corbett showed much more CON

the body to the jaw. Four times be-
