and then clinched. Corbett blocked Bob's left, but could not stop stiff right that landed over the kidneys and hard left that found the jaw. Bob's left found the body and he pushed his right contemptuously in Corbetts face
 Jim faked a left lead but could not draw the willy Cornishman out. Jim saw this quickly and he adopted diner- | ent tactics. He sent his right with lightning speed on the wind and his left on the body and face and came back again with the right on the body and a left on the face. Fitzsimmons did not like this and he took hand in the at tack himself. He put three hard lefts in succession on Jim's head and swung Q right over the ear that Jim tried to avoid, but failed. Jims left reached the face, and with his right he sent l vicious upper cut to the Cornishman's chin. Jim poked his left in the face l again, but he took a. stiff left handler on l the jaw in return and this was followed 1 by two strong letts on the shoulder. Jim put his left on the body and came to Q clinch. As they broke away Fitz- i simmons hooked him with a right un- der the ear, but Jim retallated with a right and left on the jaw. Fitzsimmons appeared very confident and strong as he went to his corner. Corbett did not seem to be weak, but his face had a grayish pallor and his eyes shifted ner- vously as he sat in his chair. He had lost the confident smile with which he opened the battle.
 Round 11-Bob rushed, but his left I lead for the jaw was stopped and Jim shot two little lefts on the jaw. Cor bett's right then found the wind and I he tucked a hard left from Fitzsim- mons. The Australians left caught hard on the jaw twice before they clinched. Jim's right went to the body
 and then he shot his left twice under the ear. Fitzsimmons put light left on the side of the head, but Jim's coun-
 ter on the nose was very weak. Fitz- simmons forced matters with a hard right swing on the body and a right on the side of the head, and got away
 without a return. Corbett's left land ed high up on the forehead, and they clinched. Fitzslmmons tried hard for a knockout on the breakaway, but Cor bett cleverly avoided danger. Clinches were frequent and Corbett began to appear tired. His blows seemed to lack steam, while FitZsimmons, though not landing quite so often, had good deal
 more force behind his gloves. A light left on the jaw from Jim was neatly countered by Fitzsimmons' right, which landed on Corbett's chin. Twice in suc- cession Fitzsimmons swung his right
 on Jim's jaw and rushed him all over the ring. Corbett clinched, and Fitz- simmons upper-cut him hard. The Cor nishman kept up the attack and landed
 two left jolts on Jim's chin. Fitzsim- | mons adherents grew wild with ex- citement as their man rushed in with
 a hard left on the jaw, a right on the body and another left on the jaw. Cor lbett clinched desperately and time was
 called before FltZsimmons could do any
 further damage. The bell was well
 come relief to the Californian.

 from his chair and swung right and
 left, but missed He tucked in return.
