In Order to Save Their Man
From Complete Knockout
Seconds of Denver Man Throw
Up Sponge in Ninth Round.
Fight Was Heavily Played BY
the Betting Element.

San Francisco. March 1.-Battling
Nelson of Chicago made Young Cor
bett of Denver appear the poorest
tyro at the fighting game at night when
he practically knocked him out in the
middle off the ninth round. In order
to save their man a complete knock
out the seconds threw up the sponge.
The man who twice beat Terry Mccoy
ern was not in it with the young
Dane at any stage of the game. In the
early part of the fight on several oc-
casions he Strengthened Nelson up
with rights and lefts on the jaw, but
when it came to following up his ad-
vantage his swings were wild. He
seemed to be over anxious, while Mel
son at all times was cool and conf
dent
The seventh round, when it appear
ed as if Corbett were practically gone,
he showed a flash OF his old-time
speed and landed several severe
punches on Nelson's ribs and jaw. 1t
was only squirt. however, and Young
Corbett soon lapsed into his semi
groggy condition, which lasted until
the end of the fight.
Nelson's plan of battle was to force
Corbett around the ring, keeping close
to him all the time. Whenever Cor
bett missed swing Nelson was there
with return that generally landed.
h~I~a. ,nIaA - NJin
From the fifth round on Nelson kept
Corbett on the ropes and landed at
wilt 4S 8lBss
Co-bett in some way managed to
protect himself from a knockout blow
until, the middle of the ninth round.
Then in a rally Nelson swung his
right over the jaw and Corbett went
down on his back. He remained down
and then stood up against the ropes
with his hands lowered unable to pro-
tect himself Nelson partly toppled
him over with swing on the jaw, but
before Corbett was fairly on the mat
his seconds threw up the sponge. The
round lasted two minutes and thirty
five seconds.
In the eighth round Nelson had Cor
bett against the ropes and the Denver
man claimed a foul and lowered his
hands. mo foul was apparent and the
referee, did not allow it. Nelson dem
onstrated that he is Corbett's superior
in speed, accuracy of aim, ability to
take punishment, and stiff punches.
After the fight was over Corbett had
but little to say. He had no excuse
to offer. Nelson, of course, was very
happy and said that his next effort
would be TO obtain fight with Britt,
who has once defeated him.
The fight was heavily played by the
betting element. The odds on Nelson
were 10 TO s and were easily snapped
at by Corbett's admirers, but there was
plenty of Nelson money in sight and
all bets offered were taken.

Companies Common Carriers.

st. Paul. March LIN the house
Tuesday w. C. Fraser of Olmsted

Two bills designed to protect the fee
system in vogue i'll several OF the coun-
ty Offices were introduced by the Ram
sey county delegation.
This scheme Of protection Is based
on the fear that the next state census
will bring Ramsey county within the

then Hennepin county's straight salary
law will prevail. Such a condition Is
avoided by making the United States
census the basis Of computation.

Thieves are still carrying on their OPP
erations in the village, notwithstanding
the chasing away of desreputable out
fit not. many days ago. Last Sunday
night the coal shed on the rear of Frank
Benefits residence lot was opened and
about four hundred pounds of coal stol-
en-. The shed was not locked. There is
no clue to the guilty party. This time
no snow storm helped in tracing the
thief to his door. If vigorous measures
had been taken to run down the chicken
thieves and get them behind the bars,
when once it was fairly known where
they were, instead of simply soaring
them off to another community, the
other thieves would not be embolden
ed, as they evidently have been, to carry
on their stealing, fearing no other con-
sequence than to be driven out of town.
