Seaside Club, Coney Island, May 11.-In the fastest. prettiest and closest heavy weight ring battle ever fought in New York James J. Jeffries has reaffirmed his right to the championship.
 In the arena of the Seaside Sporting club tonight he decisively defeated Jim Corbett, once champion of the world himself, after twenty-two rounds of scientific fighting. It was a clean knockout that came so quickly that it dazed the thousands of keen, alert, intent spectators and left them in doubt as to just how the winning blow was deliver ed It was avowed that it was left-hand jolt to the jaw, but Jeffries himself and Referee Charley White, who stood at his side say it was a right-hand swing
 There is credit for the victor and credit battles Jeffries must be awarded the lau- rels of victory, while his opponent is en- titled 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. Corbett emerged from years re- tirement rejuvenated and fresh. He was as fast and clever as back in the days when people marvelled at his skill. His foot work was wonderful and his defense perfect. He outboxed his man at both long and short range, and if he had had the strength necessary he would have gained an early victory. A hundred times he tucked the punch that knocked him out.
 At times he made the massive Jim look a beginner in the art of offense and defense with the hands. His strategy was to jab and get away, and when Jeffries stood over his quiverinZ form, his face showed the marks of tAe punishment that Cor bett had inflicted.
 Crowd Was With Corbett

danced away from his opponent until the end of the round.
 Round 3-Corbett again the quicker on feet He hooked light to Jef's head. lief was cool and deliberate. He guarded his face cautiously and forced Corbett to make four circuits of the ring. Corbett feinted with his left but did not land, and Jef landed right and left to the body. Corbett tries twice for the body, but missed and then they exchanged light lefts on the head. corbett feinted again, but lief blocked and sent hard left 70 body, driving Corbett to the ropes Corbett endeavored to feint- lief out of position but got right on the body for his pains. With quick movement Corbett sprung into his own corner, where lief caught him, sending stiff left to the ribs just as the gong sounded.
 Round 4-They rushed to clinch, after which Jeffries put left to the head. Cor bett tried for the body, but fell short and Jeffres sent his right over to the head. They spared for spell, with Corbett breaking ground, and then Jeffries forced Corbett to the ropes sending his left to body A moment later he repeated this blow and Corbett looked worried. At close quarters Jeffries put right to head and as they broke he came back quickly with right to body Then a right and left from Jeff fries to the head jarred Corbett. Jeffries followed it up with another terrific left on the neck and Corbett was very tired when the bell rang.
 Round 5-rCorbett resumed the contest with evident relish, but he was very anx- icus meanwhile Jeffries got to him at close quarters with light left to body and Corbett failed to reply. Corbett feinted with his right but Jeffries called the bluff and hooked left to body. Corbett spared clev ery sending left to body, and after little shifty work soaked left twice to head Jeff fries attempted a left hook for the jaw, but Corbett ducked it and sent another left to jaw. Jeffries then crowded in and rushed Jim to the ropes, but landed only one hard. Jeffries forced the fighting and sent left and right to face with telling effect just before the bell sounded.
 Round 6-Corbett sprung to the center of the ring, but Jeffries was ready for him. Don't let him get set" said George Con- sidine Watch him, Jim he can't hit you in a week" A second later Jeffries led left to the face. Corbett made an ineffective try for the head. Three clinches followed with the honors in Jeffries' favor. Corbett was compelled to shift continually Cor bett uses his. legs continually to avoid Jef- fries lead.
 Round 5--Thcy rushed to cinch. lief got light left on the wind. Again they went to c.inch. and in the break lief threw
