VICTORY FOR
LHEKY BOB |
Corbett Shed Tears Over the Result Of
the Battle.
KNOCKED OUT BY A CHANCE BLOW
oorbett Looked Like a Winner at the
Beginning Of the Final Round, But a
Terrific Left Hand Punch Below
the Heart Settled Him.
KNOCKED OUT BY A CHANCE BLOW

Carson. New, March 1s-Under a
clear sky and i'm a valley 5000 feet
above the sea, circled by srow tipped
mountains, James j. Corbett went
down to defeat yesterday before Rob
ert Fitzslmmons, who thus became the
champion heavyweight pugiist of the
world. The victory was not gained
without a struggle. In fact victory
did not seem possible for Fitzsimmons
until the last moment of the battle He
was giving every indication of slowly
going to pieces when he delivered a
blow in a vital part, and followed it
with two others which sent the Cali
fornian to the floor with the agony of
pain and despair imprinted on his face,
and he was unable to rise within the
limit which would save him.
When the defeated champion finally
arose, with the assistance Of his at
tendants, and recovered sufficiently

from his dazed condition to realize the
calamity that had befallen him, he
broke out with all the fury of an en-
ragged animal, and discarding all the
rules which govern the art of which
he is a disciple rushed at his victorious
opponent and made a vain struggle to
beat him over the ropes, only desisting
when his own friends and seconds
forced him away.
And then the new champion was
borne to his dressing room amid the
cheers Of the 5000 people who were in
the arena, accompanied by his sec
onds and trainers, and also by his wife,
who had watched the contest from a
position within a few feet of the ring
side, and who had taken in every de-
tail, even at the time when it seemed
that her husband would be knocked in
sensible at her feet. 1t was a great
contest, but Notwithstanding the
cheers for the victor, the majority of
those who witnessed the fight could not
but feel a sense of disappointment at
the result, believing as they did, that
victory was taken from Corbett at a
moment when he seemed sure Of gain
ing it himself
The contest was accompanied by the
usual delays which attend such af-
fairs, due largely to a wait for the

battering him on the face and body
until the blood streamed from his face
and he finally sank to his knees to
avoid further punishment. remaining
there until nearly all the allotted time
had expired, when ne arose and sue
ceeded In continuing the contest for
the few remaining seconds of the
round
Nearly all the spectators thought the
end was at hand then, but the Aus
tralian recovered and fought a game
battle for nearly eight rounds more,
though there were several occasions
during that time when Corbett seemed
to have had him going He did land
number Of blows on Corbett, and
they were hard, too, but they seemed
to have little effect on him.
At the opening of the fourteenth and
last round Corbett looked the winner.
Though somewhat tired he was still
strong, and was displaying more sci
ence. and continued to pound the Aus
tralian and keep up the tncessant
blows
And then came the final blow and
the end. That which ended the fight
was a left hand punch delivered just
below the heart. 1t was all the more
effective for the reason that Corbett
was leaning backward when It came
It caught him on the tensely drawn
muscles just over the spleen, and must
have caused the most intense agony
Corbett was more unconscious from
pain than from the force of the blow
As he lay writhing and groveling on
the floor his face presented the most
CHASTITY appearance imaginable. No
man I'm a last death struggle could
have Mortified the spectators more,
and his agonizing cries of pain could
be heard above the cheers for the VIC
tor.
And then followed the widest scene
of the day when he arose to his feet
and with all the strength he had left
rushed at his opponent and tried to
finish the contest. Those nearest the
ring jumped over the ropes, in spite
of all efforts of the police to prevent
them, and in a moment the entire en-
closure was filled with a bowling,
shouting mob, and the noise and COM
fusion were so great that the referee
was hardly able to announce his de-
IlHlNA dW al NllllE Lllt bdAllt W IT AAAbllAl-
mons. In the midst of it all Corbett,
who had been forced to his corner by
his friends, broke away from them and
rushed at F'itzsimmons a second time,
but instead of attempting to renew the
fight he implored him to give him an
other chance, and accept a challenge
from him. This was refused, and
warm words followed. Fitzsimmons
was borne away with all the glory of
his new won victory and Corbett left
to return to his home in San Fran
cisco, carrying with him the despair of
defeat.

brightest, so that the new electrical de-
vice-the Verascope-w was To-
Gated at the ringside, would be able to
obtain the best results. For two hours
before the men entered the ring the
crowds gathered in he arena, a tenn
porary structure of vast dimensions,
having a canvas covered ring in the
center, with row after row of plain
boards each rising from each side and
with no covering but the clear sky
above.
It was a moment after the noon
hour when the principals and their
seconds appeared and both were
greeted with great cheers. George
Siler, the referee, arranged the few
preliminary matters in a short time,
and at about 1910 the battle COM

as not to get cold, and cheerfully
chatted with his attendants. Corbett
did not start from his camp as soon as
expected, and did not reach his dress
ing room until after Fitzsimmons.

governor of Nevada, entered his box

tion after it was amended by the au
thor The measure as amended ex-
cepts labor organizations, compels the
attorney general by mandamus to take
cognizance of any complaints, makes
1t the duty of district attorneys to pro-
ceed against corporations upon the

Senator White offered resolution to re-
commit the Coyle mines and mining bill
with an expensive commission attached.
The chairman of the committee stated that
the bill had been reported through false
representations; the understanding being
that the bill be reported out for printing
only.
This brought Senator Coyle to his feet, who
said that corporate influence was back of the
movement to have the bill recommitted.
Senator Grady replied that 'if the Senator
from Schuylkill violates a promise it is the
duty of the Senate to compel him to keep
it," Coyle replied that he did not require
the Philadelphia Senator to make him keep
his word That if his word was not as good
as the Senator's he would resign.
/ Grady reminded Coyle that no Senator was
so quick to seek corporation favors than he,
and he denied that he represented the miner
He sent to the clerk and had read a com

Shortly after seven o'clock last evening a
team belonging to John Berg, the First ward
merchant, was proceeding eastward along
Centre street when it was met opposite the
Beddall building by a horse trotting at a
lively pace through the mud and having in
tow a buggy and two men who had been out
celebrating st. Patricks day with more
enthusiasm than discretion. A collision took
place, in which one Of Berg's horses got one
of its hoofs fastened in wheel Of the
carriage 1t was held by the spokes An
exchange of forcible compliments followed,
the respective drivers blaming each other for
the mishap. It took several minutes to re-
lease the horses hoof, it being necessary to
take the wheel from the buggy to accom-
plish the purpose. The horse was uninjured.

George Hartzog, widower who resides in
squalid apartments in a basement of a build

Columbia Brewing Company, was arraigAed
before Justice Lawlor last night, charged
with attempting to set fire to the house in
which he lives. The complaint was made
upon oath Of one of the neighbors, but when
tho Justice investigated the case it was found
that the neighbor had become alarmed by
story told by another neighbor, who stated
that Hartzog had sprinkled kerosine oil over
the floor Of the basement and intended to
apply a match to it. Further investigation
showed that the neighbor who had told the
story was drunk, having been out celebrat-
ing St. Patrick's Day and that the charge
had no foundation, so that Hartzog was dis
charged. The latter lives in poverty with
his three small children.
