 San Francisco, Feb. 2o.-champion Featherweight Young Corbett" had no difficulty in retaining his laurels to- night. defeating Dave Sullivan of Bos- ton in the eleventh round of a scheduled twenty round contest. Corbett left the fight without mark, while on the other hand. Sullivan received a terrific beating, only the nerciful action of Referee Graney in stopping the contest saving Sullivan from having his face beaten into Q pulp. Sullivan put up game fight and while outboxed, out fought and .outgeneralled, he gave the champion cause for worry in one round. Taking another feature out of the fight. which was Sullivan's excessive game ness. the contest was never in doubt. Corbett held his man safe during all stages of the contest. and it was but q question of time when Sullivan would have to quit
 The fourth round nearly saw the end of the contest, and only by taking long counts on four different occasions did Sullivan managed to pull through. There was great amount of mitigating. The men hung together for a minute at a time, using either hand that they could free. Corbett proved himself very much superior in that style of fighting. and he seemed to punch harder from a short distance
 After the disastrous fourth round, Sullivan's s ability to come up in the suc- ceeding rounds was surprise He seemed to have taken a new lease ot life, but it was only a flash in the pan and did not prove of any benefit to him as he received more punishment with- out any chance of ultimate success. The contest, on the whole, was one-sided,
 Jimmy Britt was an interested spec- tator at the ringside and figuring on his chances to beat the champion feather weight.
