THE PUGILlSTS.
Young Corbett Still Possesses
 the Punch

Put Maynard Down Three Times and
 Out Once in Less Than Three Min
 utes-Fitz's Bear Bit Jeffries and the Champion Must Suspend Training
 Moving Pictures Do Not Show That
 Gardner Touled Root.
 Philadelphia, July 25.-Before crowd that filled every available nook and corner of the Industrial Athletic clubs arena last night, Young Corbett, the worlds featherweight champion knocked out Billy Maynard of New York, after two minutes of hard fight ing in the first round.
 The fact that Maynard had outpoint- ed the champion in a previous six round bout lent unusual interest to the affair, and large number of New Workers prominent in sporting circles were noticed at the ringsfde.
 Maynard was the first to enter the ring, looking very confident >Corbett followed at once, and the men were lectured by the referee. They agreed to break clean. Maynard started rush ing right at the bell. Corbett was ap- parently satisfied to stay on the defens- i've for the first minute and easily blocked all of Maynard's leads.
 Suddenly the champion set off the fireworks with quick left to May nard's face.
 Maynard rushed but missed right to jaw, and Corbett, catching the New Yorker off his balance. sent heavy left to the jaw that dropped Maynard. IT ba hi xDhn xxyifl a right to the solar plexus and left to the jaw in quick succession, Corbett floored him again. Maynard got up champion. A few seconds of fierce in fighting followed, when suddenly Cor bett landed a terrific left smash on Maynard's jaw and the New Yorker went down again: He tried hard to get up, but was counted out while on his hands and knees.
 During the entire fight Young Cor bett landed barely dozen blows, but each one of them was very effective.
 George Gardner of Lowell saw him. self fight Jack Root of Chicago all over again last night at the Grand opera house, New York. A private view of JAG uSuC Oll July WoS AOiA oAAo1ssA the medium of moving pictures. The reproduction lasted over an hour and was voted success by those present. The films are the best taken of a mill in the past seven years, not barring the Corbett- -FitzsiAmon pictures. If any foul was committed by either man the pictures do not show it.
 Advices from Harbin Springs say that Champion Jeffries must lie off till Monday because of an injury to his left leg, which may result in blood poison ing. Fitz's little bear bit Jeffries on the leg, and then in playing handball, the place was hit by Kennedy. To add to this, Jeff sprained his leg and skin- ned his knee at handball. Jeffries says his leg does not bother him, but he has obeyed the doctors orders and will take a rest for three days. His sparring partners welcome the change as Jeff fries has been working them very hard Corbett nov weighs 1S2 pounds stripped and he is going through heavy gymnastic training at Alameda. He also recently spared twenty rounds to see how his wind lasted and be came out in good shape. He is confident he will whip Jeffries.

New Haven, July 25.-New Haven lost one of the finest and snappiest played games of the season to Holyoke yesterday, through an error by Mur- phy.
