As TO the fact of the foul there is no
question: it is revealed in the photo
graphs as plain as day and. indeed, it
was noted by several spectators who
were in a position TO see it; but it was
evidently uuintentional on Fitzsim-
mons part. that is. the blow landed be-

down. and had little or nothing TO do
with the knockout. which, it is gener-
ally conceded. was accomplished by
the fearful punch in the pit of the
stomach. That is Corbett's own YER
sion OF the knockout and he entered
no claim Of foul.
It seemed evident that if Corbett had
not been knocked out when he was it

Corbett seemed to grow weaker Fitz-
simmons appeared to gain strength.
The result Of the battle showed it TO
have been one between stamina and
science. in which the former proved
the winner.
