Jeffries must be awarded the laurels
of victory, yet his opponent is entitled
to all honor for his most wonderful
fight. That feature of the contest
stands out in relief as the most striking
one of the battle.
Were Late in Starting.
The fight was scheduled for 9:45, but
the men were nearly an hour late in
getting into the ring, and after the pre-
iminaries were settled the gloves were
quickly slipped on and in moment the
gong changed out the beginning of the
bout.
AS the men sprang forward the spec
tators were stilled to silence that was
only broken by the Gathering of the
telegraph instruments. In the prelim.
mary sparring Corbett showed to won
derful advantage. He was quick on his
feet and darted in and out with confus.
ing speed. III " 1 sss ~ IT, ~
Jeffries kept going in, however, and
the pace Of the champion was fast, and
there was yell of satisfaction from the
spectators when the gong ended the
round. Jeffries kept up his rushing,
but Corbett slipped away from him.
Jeffries would try his left in swing,
but Corbett was almost invariably away.
It made superb exhibition and there
were cries of approval that at times
broadened into cheers. Corbett was
outboxing his man and outpointing him
with blows to the body and face. There
was no chance for both, for while Cor
bett was outpointing Jeffries, the lat
ter had the strength. Jefferies fought
in his crouching attitude, which proved
SO hard to solve to Fitzsimmons.
Jeffries then began to use his strength
and in the clinches threw little Of his
strength on to his opponent. Corbett
Showed Astonishing Activity
against him and it was long before the
strength of the champion began to tell.
Jeffries was grim and resolute and kept
at his man steadily. He knew that at
every stage of the game he had been
outpointed and his only chance was to
rush in and end it. By the 18th round
Jeffries, maddened by the danger of
marring his reputation, began a series
of desperate rushes in which he mixed
it fiercely with Corbett Corbett, al
though his blows lacked force, was still
speedy on his feet. He contented him.
self with avoiding punishment At the
Goth round it looked as if Corbett would
stay the limit, and popular Judgment
awarded him victory. He had, up to
that time, not received any serious
punishment. His defense was still per.
feet and he was smiling and confident.
The end came with the suddenness of
. shock. The men had had two fierce
sallies, followed each time by long
range sparring, and were in good shape.
They were fighting hard when Corbett
dropped. 1t needed no count to tell
that Corbett's hopes for the champion
ship were again dashed. The excited
spectators jumped to their feet and gave
vent to cat calls. The confusion was
but momentary, however, and in a
silence that was most remarkable, the
fallen fighter was carried to his corner.
