In Sixteenth Round of Battle,
Referee Eddie Graney
Interferes.
EDDIE WAS BADLY PUNISHED.
The Champion Demonstrated That In
Condition He is King OF All the
FeatherWeights.


clful referee probably saved Eddie
Hanlon from being killed by Young
corbott tonight when he stopped their
contest in the middle OF the sixteeLth
round. For two rounds previous Ref
cree Gfaney had begged Hahons sec
onds TO take their man out OF the ring,
but they kept the game youngster at
Il. and finally Graney, fearing that
fatality might result, ordered the fight
stopped, No man ever received such
terrific punishment IN a San Francisco
ring, and probably Young Corbett is
the only man IN the, country VIM, could
administer such a beating to Hanlon.
when the San Francisco boy was car
fied to his corner still conscious but
unable TO walk, his seconds worked
vigorously TO revive him. The terribly
y V blood and things looked very
serious for him for short time. lie
was finally revived and was carried
from the ring by one OF his seconds. Be-
fore he left Young Corbett paid "a high
tribute TO his skill and gameness, and sa-
luted his brother prize fiBhter with an
affectionate kiss. 1t must be said for
Corbett that he was as merciful under
the circumstances as he could be, Dur
ing the fourteenth and fifteenth rounds
he, too, was anxious to have the fight
stopped In order to save Hanlon needless
punishment
coRBETT IN NO DANGER.
The fight tonight demonstrated that
Corbett is any mans superior at his
weight. AT no time during the contest
was he IN any apparent danger, and
when II ended there was not a mark
on him, Hanlon's most peculiar and
very effective defense was all that
saved him from a knockout earlier IN
The game, Even when he became tired
and could not protect himself corbett
the thirteenth and fourteenth rounds
COrbett began to show what he could
DO The men were allowed TO fight in
the clinches and Corbett, leaning his
with his arms free, would punch him
IN the. stomach with his right and
swing fierce short lefts on his Jaw.
That was the beginning OF the end.
In the fifteenth Corbett backed Han
lSn INTO corner, and when the san
SWUNG, Two lightning lefts and Hanlon
went down. lie took the count of g. ght,
but struggled to his feet and again re-
.elved the terrific punishment that Cor
yett was dealing out to him, 1t was then
uraney wanted the fight stopped.

was swinging wild when Eddie landed a
