fries glove. Fitzsimmons and Ry-
an went to Jeffries Corner and cut
the glove off. Another was imme-
diately substituted, but not until 80
seconds of the fifth round had ex-
pired. Jeffries fought for the body
continuously, Corbett doing some
side-stepping to keep away. Cor
bett did not seem to have bit of
force behind his left-hand hooks,
and alternated with a short right
over the heart, which seemed to be
the best he had. Jefries stood up
straight and hooked Jim twice in
the stomach. C,rbett sent right to
the ribs but without force. Corbett |
put the best blow thus far on JEFF
fries ribs, but got left on the neck |

to good advantage at this stage.
He tried to use his once lightning
left, but it was lame excuse. He {,
came in quickly, and sent his right ,
to the heart. but Jefries came back
with left on the body. Corbett was
holding on saying, che can't knock [
ne out, he can'tknock me out. Go
