IS STILL CHAMPION.
Jim Jeffries Defeats Jim COrbett in
the Twenty-Third Round In
Fight at Coney Island. /.


Seaside Club, Coney Island, N. Y,
May 12.--Jim Jeffries is still the heavy
weight hampton pugilists of the world.
He defeated Jim Corbett in the 23d
round Of their fight with a decisive
knockout. The finishing blow came as
"a sudden and startling surprise. Cor
bett had been making a wonderful bat
tie. His defense was absolutely per-
feet, and while he was lacking in
strength, he. had more than held his
own, and stood an excellent chance of
winning the fight had it gone the limit.
He had not been badly punished, and
had managed to mark his man severely.
The winning punch was short left
jolt to the jaw. Corbett dropped like
"a weight and was clear out. Jeffries
showed ability to take punching, at
any distance, and punch hard. He was
clearly outboxed, and at times made to
look like novice The crowd, which
numbered fully 5000, was with Cor
sbett, and his defeat fell upon silent
crowd There were cheers given him
when he revived and left the ring, and
he was generally shown more considera-
ton than the victor.
