money enough with which TO pay his
debt to tie state At intervals one may
read in the local official papers the list

Corbett Knocked Out IN the twenty
Third Round, But he Made Gal,
LIANT Fight Throughout.

test and closest heavyweight
ring battle ever fought in New
York, James j. Jeffries has reaf
firmed his right 10 the cham
pionship. In the arena of the
Seaside Sporting Club tonight
he Gecisively defeated Jim Cor
bett, once champion of the world
himself, after twenty-five rounds
of sientific fighting. 1t was
clean knockout that came so sud
denly that it dazed the thousands
of keen, alert spectators and left
them in doubt as TO just how the
winning blow was delivered. 1t
was avOwed, that it was Il left
hand jolt to the jaw, but Jeffries
himself and Referee Charlie
White, who stood at his side, say
it was right hand-swine. There
is credit for the victor and cre-
dit for the vanquished in this
cleverest of ring battles. JEFF
fries must be awarded the lau-
rels of victory, yet his opponent
is entitled to all honor for his
most wonderful fight. That fea-
ture OF the contest stands out in
relief as the most striking one Of
the battle.
Corbett emerged from a year :
retirment from the ngIejuven-
ated and fresh He WAS as fast
and clever as back in the DAYS
when people marveled at his skill
His footwork was wonderful and
his defense perfect. He outlook
ed his man al both long and short
range. and if he had had the nee
essary strength he would have
gained an early victory \ hun
Gred times he ducked the punch
that knocked him out. At times
ne made the massive Jim look
like ii beginner in the art of
otfense and defense with the
hands. His strategy was To jab
aud get away, and when Jeffrics
stood over his uuivering form
his face showed the marks of the
punishment that Corbett had in
fiictcd. COrbett went down 10 /,
defeat that was regretted by a
vast majority of the men who
filed the hall The money was
against him, but he had IA wealth
OF sympathy.
1t was probably his natural
heritage as the short-ender, but
before the battle had began he
won more support by his display
of speed and skill. JefrieS won
with his strength, both that
strength that lies in the power
of massive muscle and that
strength which is the essence of
vitality. He made the pace for
most of theIliStanGe, aud at the
end was still strongand effective.
AT first glance, the battle may
seem to detract Il tritle from his
reputation, for it showed that a
fast man could reach him and
get away with a return. If that
fighter of the future happens L.
! BE- strong and rugged IN addition
to beng fast, he will take the
hOnOrs of the man who tonight
left the ring eXultant in victory.
1t is improbable that there
was ever "a more orderly affair
under the Horton law. There
was order in the Assem- bling and
handling of the great crowd, and
order in the contest. The small
army of police present was task.
less, and the contestants them
selves neither wrangled nor
quarreled throughout the even
ing.
There was but little betting OF
the Outcomeof the battle. There
had been so much delay and in
