gave slight nod. That may or may
not have been a prearranged signal.
There was much discussion of the
point afterward. At any rate. the no.
lice were in the ring In an instant The
gong changed as if at the end OF a
round. Sharkey, furious as a bulldog
robbed of a bone, was dragged back.
Corbett was hustled to the dressing
room. All was confusion. Nobody un-
derstood just what had ha opened.
Later 1t developed that the round
had been cut minute or more. There
could have been only one reason for
cutting it short, and that was to save
a worlds champion from a knockout.
OF course, there was no knockout. and
there'll always be two sides to the
question when it comes UP for discus
sion. Tom Sharkey was taken back

And that was about the way it look

stepped out daintily, his hands held

brow a scowl calculated to drive terror
into the soul of this presumptive no
vice.
But instead of being awed by facing
the worlds greatest champion. con-
queror of John l.. Sullivan himself,

unexpected angle, was harder to fight
than real boxer, whose moves could
be predicted. He hurled himself at
Corbett so savagely that time and
again he nearly threw the champion
through the ropes just by the impact
of his body. Corbett protested to the
referee, but 1t was simply rough fight

sharkey didn't try to mold and hit.
There were times in that fight. OF

he made Sharkey look puzzled and
foolish. But 1t was only for sec
ond or two, and then the husky sailor
was rushing In again and with arms
failing like mad.
The pace was too hot for any man
who had lived as Corbett lived after
winning the title. In the fourth round
Corbett was hanging on for his life,
