STILL THE CHAMPION
YOUNG CORBETT BEAT HANLON
ALMOST TO DEATH.
REFEREE STOPPED THE BOUT.
IN THE SIXTEENTH ROUND HANLoN
COULD GO NO FURTHER.

After the Contest HanIOn, Who Had
Received Terrible Beating,
VOmited BIOOd-Was Given an
ARectiOnate Kiss by the Man Who
Beat Him-StOry by Rounds Shows
n Fast, Hard Fight.
San Francisco, Dec. ga merciful
referee probably saved Eddie Hanlon
from being killed by Young Corbett"
tonight, when he stopped their con-
test in the middle of the sixteenth
round.
For two rounds previous Referee
Graney had begged Hanlons seconds
to take their man out of the ring,
but they kept the game youngster at
it, and finally Graney, fearing that a
fatality might result, ordered the fight
stopped. No man ever received such
a terrific punishment in a San Fran
cisco ring, and probably Young Cor
bett" is the only man in the country
who could administer such a beating
to Hanlon.
When the San Francisco boy was
carried to his corner still conscious,
but unable to walk, his seconds worked
vigorously to revive him. The terribly
beaten lad. however, commenced to
vomit blood, and things looked very Sc
rious for him for a short time. He
was finally revived, and was carried
from the ring by one of his seconds.
Before he left, Young Corbett" paid a
high tribute to his skill and game
ness, and saluted his brother prize
fighter with an affectionate kiss.
Hanlon's most peculiar and very eff
fective defensive was all that saved
him from knockout early in the game.
Even when he became tired and could
not protect himself, Corbett could
not land a knockout blow.
In the thirteenth and fourteenth
rounds Corbett began to show what he
could do. The men were allowed to
fight in the clinches, and Corbett, lean
ing his head against Hanlons shoulder
and with his arms free, would punch
Hanlon 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
Hanlon into a corner, and when the
San Francisco boy swung feebly, Cor
bett swung two lightning lefts and
Hanlon went down. He took the count
of eight, but struggled to his feet and
again received the terrific punishment
that Corbett was dealing out to him. 1t
was then that Graney wanted the fight
stopped.
