LITTLE MEN
FIGHT WELL
Da1 Hawkins Easily
Whips Martin. Fla
herty and George
Green Bests Billy
Smith.

CARSON. New, March 17.-Most of the
spectators who witnessed the fight found
their way back to the arena in time to see
the little fellows in action.
Martin Flaherty of Lowell Mass, and
Dal Hawkins of San Francisco were the
first pair to face Referee Malachy Hogan
OF Chicago. Spider" Kelly and Jim Neal
were behind Hawkins, and Bob Kane and
Harry Baker took care Of Flaherty.
Hawkins went for the New EngIander
from the tap of the bell. He made two
Intellectual swings at Flaherty's jaw be-
fore he gauged the distance. On his third
attempt he landed flush on the point of
Martins chin, and the man from Lowell
dropped like Nevada steer hit with
an ak. He lay on his back while Hogan
counted him out, and had to be helped TO
his corner. The actual time consumed in
out was one OF the prettiest and M ost COM
plete on record.
Mysterious Billy Smith of Boston
and George Green (Young Corbett) of San
Francisco wound UP the carnival. Smiths
seconds were Harry Baker and Jack Fay.
Bob Macarthur and Eddie Creamy attended
to Green. The San Franciscan outpointed
and outpunched Smith and had him done
to turn ut the end of the twelfth round,
when the Bostonian gave it up. Smith
claimed that his left arm, which was
fractured recently, had gone back on him,
but most people think he was prostrated
with heart failure. Green hammered
away on his opponents body until Smith
carried scarlet circle around the heart.
The first two rounds wer6 fast and furi-
Gus. Smith rushe Green and thumped
him over the kidneys as they came to-
gether. He repeatedly tried to hook
Green with his right in the breakaway,
but invariably over-reached and did no
damage. Green made an even break of
the second third and fourth rounds, and
he had Smith toned down considerably in
the fifth. From that on the fight was
Green's. He never let up a minute,
varying his left drives for the heart with
an occasional swing on the jaw. At the
conclusion of the twelfth round the
sponge went up from Smiths corner. HIS
seconds claimed that he could no longer
use his left and stood no chance TO win
with one hand.
The betting was 100 to so on the Flah-
erty. Hawkins bout, with the Eastern man
favorite, and 100 to 80 on Green and Smith,
with the Californian at the big end.

VERY PHILOSOPHICAL.
The Feminine Part of the Corbett
Family Soon Recover From


Family Soon Recover From
the Shock.
The feminine part of the Corbett family
has taken Jim's defeat philosophically
but not without first pang OF keen disap-
pointm ent.
On their own account, they early became
reconciled to the result and cherished
thoughts only of what humiliating
experience it would be considered by the
one principally concerned.
The other and the sisters Of the van
quished gladiator had remained at the
paternaI home on Hayes street; the wife
had fingered in her apartments at the
Hotel St. Nicholas, several blocks away.
Such was their relative positions yester-
day evening after they had learned and
together discussed The fall OF their hero.
1T was great shock 10 u.s." said the
sister Corbett as, with becoming bonnet
and street attire still on, she stood with
the mother Corbett in the upstairs hall
way of their home. She had just come in
from the hotel, which she had left after
longer distressing herself over the un-
avoidable defeat of her husband.
The mother Corbett matronly and
portly, but withal comparatively youthful
considering the age of her sons, gave the
impression OF one who had not worried
muc h during lifetime, of one not keenly
sensitive to annoyances and care.
Poor Jim!' continued the sister.
'This will be hard for him 10 bear; he is
SO proud"
Yes" interposed the mother; ''he
never thought that he could be beaten,
and we didn't. either. He was doing all
the fighting right along, and had the best
of it, according 10 the reports, But every
one, guess. has to lose some time. Ma
poleon had his Waterloo and Jim had his
Fitz. 1t was one Of those tricky punches
that did it. You know he struck the boy
right on the heart, and they say that he
hits terrible blow and makes believe a
good many things while he is waiting
round TO get in one of those punches
But Jim needn't be ashamed" spoke
up the sister. "He put up good fight
and did clever work. He must have
thought that he had things his way, and
perhaps gave his man too much of
chance. Any way, Jim has made whole
lot OF money out OF prizefghting, more
than any one else. guess"
"How do you know that he has made a
lot of money! objected the mother.
1--WE are not talking about that"
II know that he has fought for some of
the biggest purses ever offered" answered
the sister. II just received telegram
from Carson" said Miss Corbett, chang
ing the subject and Fl hing about into the
mysteries of a woman's pocket. II guess
they forget about us at first during the ex-
element and then sent this. It says:
Don't worry. Leave here tonight
"I'm pretty sure Jim's wife will not see
any one tonight. No; she is not pres
trated. She said that Jim is still her hus-
band and is just as much to her victorious
or defeated. She. supposed that defeat
must come sometime, and she 10 not go
ing to take on about it"
And Mrs. James J. Corbett would not
be seen because by the conventional and
expected answer she was 'ind1sposed."

and Charley White and McVey came on
either side of him, threw his dressing
gown over his shoulders and supported
him until be recovered somewhat.
When he got his senses back partially,
he worked himself into state OF hysteri-
cal mania. He broke away from his Sec
onds and rushed at Fitzsimmons. who
was standing at the side of the ring op-
posite his own corner. When Fitzsim-
mons saw the half -demented pugi-
list coming at him he dropped
both his hands by his side and
stood upright. Corbett swung at him
wildly and Fitzsimmons. without raising
his hands, ducked the blows and Corbett
clinched him, striking with his right hand
back of the ear as he did SO. The blow
was not hard, as the unfortunate Cali
fornian was very weak. Fitzsimmons
took no notice of it and Billy Brady and
others of Corbett's seconds dragged him
away from Fitzsimmons. He was pacified
and taken to his dressing-room shortly al
terward.

announcement that the fight would take
place between 10 o'clock and noon had
Carson early astir, and long before the
first named hour hundreds were trooping
toward the arena.
The arrival of another big special train

Won and Are Very
Jubilant.
Cor belts Condition Seemed to Be
Thought Responsible for His
D.feat

Opinions on the result of the fight were
numerous and varied. Some of the most
characteristic are appended:
Judge ampbell--I am not surprised ct
the result for since | saw FitZs:n,mons
and Sharkey fight and Corbett and Shar-
key, my Judgment has been that Corbett
was lacking in vitality. 1 hardly thought
it possible that Corbett could recuperate
and gain both strength and vitality in the
limited time since he fought Sharkey. l
was satisfied from the way FitZsimmons
handled Sharkey that he was a very pow
erful man, and l always believed that Fitz
had Sharkey under control after the Sec
ond round of the fight. On the other
hand, l did not believe that Corbett could
have lasted another round with Sharkey.
George L. Maxwell, secretary OF the Fire
Department-My opinion Is that the bet
ter man won the fight from what l havs
been able to judge from the papers. Cor
beti is evidently on the decline ana has
never recovered his recuperative powers.
Scientifically, he is the cleverer man of
the two.
Fire Marshal Towel thought Corbett
would win and personally / wish he had,
as l have known him and his parents for
a long time, and besides it would have been
to the honor of his native city. He ap-
parently trained we'll for the fight, and I
can't understand why Fitzsimmons
knocked him out so quickly.
Police Surgeon Welt seems to have
been a square fight and in my opinion the
be tier man won.
Police Lieutenant Birdsall-I always
thought Ftzsimmons would win. He has
wonderful driving power and / knew that
if he could get chalce he would finish
Corbett.
Detective nbrid idge-Fitzsimmon is a
remarkable man and no one knows him
nOb " ha mt ha ~
has wonderful reserve forces, which he
uses to advantage. He will playing at
being almost Knocked out so that he can
get the chance he is waiting for and he
can stand any amount of punishment
waiting for that chance.
Police Sergeant G. P. Wright-I thought
all the time Fitzsimmons would win.
Fitzsim mons is a fighter and Corbett is a
boxer, that's the distinction | draw be-
tween the two men.
Charles E. Corry-I saw Corbett go
against Sharkey and made up my mind
that Jim couldn't get into condition to 60
the route with Fi,Z. l had no idea that it
would be easy, but after considering the
whole matter gave my preference to Bob.
Thomas G. Maher-I expected to see it
come the other way. believe that fight
ers going on the stage knocks them out of
their regular business and disauali6es
them. 1t is the old question of keeping
In condition. Sullivan only trained for
one big fight. After that fle relied on his
former qualifications. Corbett made a
