With the exception of two rounds the cham pion had the better of the encounter Briggs stalling all the rest of the time In order to stay the limit. Jack Smith was referee, and his decision was popular one. Both men were in good condition. Briggs forced matters z in the opening round and had all the bet ter of it. He landed hard right-hand punch on Corbe ett's jaw toward the end
 
 through the ropes. The Chelsea lad began the second round by fighting ag- gressively, but he soon had to assume the defensive and the latter half of the round was i'll favor of Corbett. The latter also had the better of it in the third, fourth and fifth rounds, but in the sixth Briggs side-stepped and land ed hard left hook on Corbett's jaw as h~ JnAA SzNE A s~2x right and left wildly and nearly tum- bled out of the ring. He was dazed and Briggs landed two hard body blows before the gong sounded. In the sev- enth, eighth and ninth rounds Corbett had a slight advantage, but ill the tenth Briggs ran around the ring and hung on all the time. z The bout was not as fast as the previous one be- tween the pair.

Craig found Herman. Herman said his offer of purse of S15,OOO for the combat still holds good, and Craig promptly accept ed. Gardner did not reach New York as expected, but Craig thinks he will get there by tomorrow night at the latest. Craig is very confident that Gardner can defeat Fitzsimmons. As soon as the men are matched" he said. "I will be ready to wager any part of $10,OO0 on his chances. Gardner is a better man than the general public gives him credit for"
