He's very much cooler and stronger
than Corbett at this stage Cor

straight left on the mouth. Fitz-

but forces Corbett back apparently
being the stronger man. They mix it
up and honors are about even. Both

on Fitzsimmons mouth; Corbett's
blows are lacking in force but he is
fighting very cautiously.

misses left and is countered on the
face. Corbett is rushing. Corbett

left on jaw. Jim finds Fitzsimmons
with a good left. Fitzsimmons rushed

it does no good. Jims glove in Fitz-
simmons face. Madden pushes the

five, six, seven, eight, nine,
ten-but Corbett comes to his feet; he
rushes to Fitzsimmons and endeavors
to strike him. There is a terrible up
roar. George Siler decides that Fitz-

business landed over Corbett's heart
and he collapsed.
