THAT TERRIFIC TWENTY-THIRD ROUND WHEN
JEFF STOPPED CORBETT
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON.

The siXty-eighth minute of the
heavyweight battle between James ].
Jeffries and James J. Corbett before
the Seaside Athletic Club at Coney
Island on the evening of May II, 1900,
was the most dramatic in the history
of boxing.
Corbett had emerged from retire
ment to fight Jeffries, the new COM
ing king of the prize ring, in the face
of taunts and the derisiOn of the
boxing public. A has been," declared
by many to be only clever boxer
and never a fighter, Corbett came
from a year of recuperation to battle
the stolid cave man who had served
his apprenticeship in Corbett's own
camp.
Seldom were two men more differ
ent in style or appearance. The sport
ing public of New York swarmed to
the seaside, and among the wiser ones
the news had gone forth that Cor
bett was fit.
The huge building was packed to
suffocation on a night unearthly hot
for the season. Trim, lean of loin and
waist, clean cut, fast, and every mus
Gle ripping white under satin-smooth
skin Corbett faced the stolid, hairy
giant who, sullen and lowering,
slouched toward him.
From the instant that Charlie
White, the referee, stepped back as
the first gong changed Corbett show
ed his skill Smiling, he raced in and
out, sidestepped, lodged, and with
whipike lefts he battered the sullen
visage of the giant who numbered aft
er him. Round after round he toyed
with the hulking champion, cutting
his face with whiplike blows, driving
short jabs to the huge barrel of body
and taunting his adversary as he
danced always just out of reach.
The twentieth round came. Jeffries
was tired, hurt, sullen and vicious.

squirting, urging, taunting and fore
ing Jeffries to keep fighting.
Corbett's smile had disappeared.
He was pantherlike and the light of
victory shown in his face. He had the
fight won, his great foe cut and slash
ed and beaten. Again he was within
reach of the championship. At the
end of the twentieth round Corbett,
his eyes flashing, jumped back to his
chair.

you've got him beat. Stay away.
For heavens sake stay away and cut

He's tired" remarked Con McVey.
Hes dog tired, but he's dangerous.
Keep away from him."

With abuse and scorn he spurFed
his champion on. In the other corner
Corbett, in a frenzy of excitement,
begged his hackers to let him go.
Again and again theV ha0Oed and
pleaded with him to be cautious.
The twenty-second round came
and passed, Corbett keeping away,
flicking the beaten giant with cutting
lefts, always keeping just out of range
and Jeffries stumbled after him.

perfect condition. So everybody
was in good humor and felt like
having fun at the expense of
each other. When play ball was
announced by the umpire, a loose
jointed gentleman who halls
from the Pee Dee League and
bears the rather significant name
of Shorty, strobe into the box
for Patterson Mills, 1t looked very
much as il he would fall to pieces
ere he reached his destination, but
once having gotten to the place
whittier he directed his crab like
footsteps he proceeded to do

now appears for Roanoke Mills
in the person of Saracene, whom
rooters lovingly named Dago,
Fruit Dealer, and all such, but
with that same grace and conf
dence that Johnson had displayed
he steps to the plate and the first
ball to come over; he sends on a
long high tone By way of left
field to his native land, telling
them while they are busy pre-
pairing for war over there he is
numbering poor Shorty Barnes, >
from the Pee Dee League, at
Roanoke Rapids.
After the smoke of the battle
had cleared away here is what
we find upon the score board to
read and ponder over, and ask
how under High Heaven with
such odd, did Roanoke Mills win
the pennant and beat Patterson
Mills by score of 5 to T.
Now the season has closed and
the contest over, let the rest of
US say to Roanoke Mills you have
fought good fight, YOU have
won the prize, accept it with our
best wishes.
If hard words have been hasti-
~ spoken or unkind remarks
made, we forgive and forget. Let
US return to our different homes
with no scars to heal and no UNI
kind feelings for any one, but let
US ever remember our short stay
in Roanoke Rapids as amongst
the happiest of our lives. Let US
all laugh at the errors and follies
we have committed, hope for the
future and draw consolation from
the fact, that after all the great
success of every ball team is luck.

The last session of the legislature
had bills presented to it which would
have made game and fish protection
and propagation certainty, had they
been enacted into laws, but politics
and interests We're too strong, and
most of the proposed legislation was
never even seriously considered.
We. however, did succeed in getting
a uniform season bill through, which
provides a season from November 10
to December "a, both dates included,
for the following game: Partridge or
quail, English or Mongolian pheasant,
Dark Neck Bohemian pheasant, pheas-
ant or ruffled grouse, rabbit, squirrel,
wild turkey, woodcock and deer. Un-
der this law it is unlawful to gun or
hunt on Sunday, or when there is
sufficient snow to track game, and
also between sunset and sunrise.
The Federal Regulations cover wild
water fowl and migratory game birds.
Under these regulations the season
for wild fowl is from November to
January 81. both dates included; for
rails, etc, from September l to No
vember 30. both dates included; for
woodccck from November 1 to Decem-
Der 81. both dates included; and for
plover, jacksnipes and yellowlegs from
September l to December Is, both
dates included,
Attention of gunners is directed to
the fact that the State and most of
the county laws are at variance with
these regulations, and where they
lengthen the season the Federal Regu-
lations prevail.
There is, ! think, a growing appre-
ciation Of the necessity for better en-
