Jeffries - Large Crowd Witnesses
the Contest.

San Francisco, Aug. Thames ].
Jeffries, champion heavyweight of the
world, played with Jim Corbett for nine
rounds and half Friday night, and
then Corbett's seconds motioned to Ref
cree Graney to stop the fight in order
to save their man from needless pun
ishment. The end came shortly after
the beginning of the tenth round, when
Jeffries planted one of his terrific left
swings on Corbett's stomach. The man
who conquered John L. Sullivan
dropped to the floor in agony and the

Bob Fitzsimmons landed his solar plex-
us blow, was duplicated. This time,
however, Corbett struggled to his feet
and again faced his gigantic adversary.
With hardly moments hesitation Jeff
yies swung his right and again landed
on Corbett's stomach. Jim dropped to
the floor and then it was that Tommy
Ryan, seeing that it was all over, mo-
toned to Referee Graney to stop the
punishment.
He Stands Alone.
The fight demonstrated beyond all
doubt that Jeffries stands alone in his
class. He showed remarkable improve
ment in both speed and skill. Corbett,
during the first part of the fight, was
almost outpointed and the few blows
that he landed on Jeffries were appar-
emily without sting. Jeffries was never
| in better condition. He looked lighter
| than usual and the way he moved about
on his feet and the frequency with which
he countered Corbett's leads astonished
everybody.
Corbett, compared with the big man
who opposed him, looked very light, but
was really heavier than ever before. He
appeared to hsve lost some of his old
time speed and skill during the early
part of the fight, but this may have
been due to Jeffries' marvellous improve
ment. Corbett's physical condition ap-
peared to be all that he had claimed
for it. He stood many of Jeffries' ter
rifle blows without wincing and came
back swinging left and right and land
ing frequently, bet his blows hardly
stung Jeffries.
Made a Gallant Fight.
At first Corbett was very cautious,
| and apparently was outpointed by
Jeffries, but later in the fight warmed
up and showed some of his old-time
cleverness. From the first, however,
it was generally regarded as hope
less case for Corbett. He made gal
liant fight, but he never stood show
to win.
After the fight was over Corbett
quickly recovered, walked over to
Jeffries and shook him warmly by the
hand. He said: "Jim, you beat me
fairly. You stand alone. No one can
touch you"
Corbett said after the fight: II did
my best and lost. 1 fought the best
knew. Jeffries was too big for me,
and he is the best man in the world.
If the public is satisfied with my fight
l am. l am glad to give Jeffries all
the credit that is his due. 1 have no
personal feelings in the matter.

The Final Blows.
Timekeeper George Harting stated
that the blows that won the fight were
left to the stomach followed by a
right to the same place as soon as
Corbett arose to his feet after TAX
ing the count of nine.
Many Witness Contest.

ceipts amounted to $62,340. Of this
sum the fighters received 70 per cent,
or S43,628, which was divided, Is per
cent. to the winner and Is per cent. to

enriched to the extent of 33,72S.

but one of the parties appeared when
the Police Court was called to order,
both having been released last night on
collateral. The youngster who answered
so his name was fined So and the other
forfeited his collateral. The trouble was
precipitated by an insulting remark made

A Quiet Day.

From news point of view, today has
been a veritable dies non. Although
the reporters visited the usual empori-
ums and interviewed people from every
quarter of the compass, there was literally
nothing in the wind to form the basis OF
an item. There were no occurrences to
record, nor could any suggestions be
heard. A torpOr seemed to pervade
every point visited. The river front,
which during late years seldom furnished
ANYTHING interesting or thrilling, was
extremely quiet. Apart from the move
ments of the river steamers, the stream
was deserted. A few men and boys sat
patiently in the sun attempting to hook
smells which they use as bait for black
bass. The Police Court had no interest
ing cases on the docket, there had been
no trouble on the railroads and the I'M
dertakers had no deaths to report. Takep
all in all, it was day when few lines
at the head of the local column to the
effect that there was nothing doing in
the local line today would have impaired
to the reader about all the reporter
knew

To Organize a New Company.

AS was stated in the Gazette, certain
members of the Hydraulion Fire Com
pany Yesterday procured a wagon and
denudcd the meeting room of the COM
pany of even thing in the way OF pic
lures, furniture, etc., and carried the
same to a room in the old City Hotel.
A stove was the only thing left in the
room at the engine house. The Board
of Fire Wardens met last night at the
Relief truck house and formulated plans
for the organization of another volunteer
company to assist the paid members OF
the Hydraalion, or No. 8 Company.
Corporation Attorney Gardner L. BOothe
was at the meeting. He explained to
the wardens that a list of not less than
twenty nor more than ninety names Of
citizens who will pledge themselves to
assist in subduing fires, filed with the
clerk of the Corporation Court, will in
sure the granting of charter to a new
company. This procedure will be in
accordance with the State code. A num-
Der of citizens have signiiied their desire
to Join new company, and Chief Engl-
fieer Pettey was engaged today in enroll
ing names for the new organization. In
about an hour and half he had secured
the names of twenty-five citizens for
the new volunteer fire company. 1t
is suggested that another name be adopt
ed for it, as "HydrauliOn" is obsolete
and implies nothing at this day. In
1927, shortly after the great fire,
when the company was formed,
they used an apparatus Of the hydrau-
lion pattern-that it, one which was
destined to be placed at the river and
feed other engines. 1t took about
twenty-five men to man the old appa-
ratus.
