Fitz led and they went into clinch.
Bob attempted to get In a right hand
blow in the break away but Corbett
was too quick for him. Fitz led with
his left which was short and they
clincbed. AS Bob came in, Corbett
let out a right reaching the Cornish
mans jaw. The blow was only a sort
of balk to prepare the way for a
right hand body punch which Corbett
drove in with considerable force. Cor
bett tented with his left and Fitz
ducked. Again Corbett tented with his
left but this time Fitz made no move
to get out of the way and Corbett hit
him a swift left handler on the bloody
nose.
'Fitz swung a left and then a right
but both were short and Corbett coun-
tered with a left to the face which
drew more blood. P'itz rushed in and
clinched and continued to cling to
Corbett. which action quickly fecked
Corbett's body with the CORY fluid
from Fitz's nose. They broke away
and Corbett again stood studying
F'it2. Tfyerything seemed to be going
Corbett's way and he was taking his
time. He was punching F1tz alter
nately in the face and body with his
left, Corbett moved toward Fttz and
got his forearm against Fitz's neck.
Fitz made two .or three swings with
the right and left hand but they were
feeble. Jim went in and hit Bob
swinging right handler on the cheek.
As the gong sounded Corbett drew his
right hand around scoring again on
Fits ear"
There you have the description Of
the seventh round. In the sixth Bob
was in bad shape--very bad shape.
Few in such a condition could have
come out and fought the following
round at a fast pace But Bob did AL
though he slowed up the session by
his repeated ciinching. Naturally, I
was very much against such tactics on
his part, ! wanted to keep him out
in the open so that I could hit him
soiidiy But Bob showed his splendid
ring Judgment by falling into a cl!nch
at every possible moment which ac-
ton. of course. gave him more and
more time to rest up.
Every ringside spectator is unit
in declaring that everyone Of the first
seven rounds OF that contest was mine
by wide margin. Naturally, felt
confident and certain OF victory as the
eighth round began hut of course
knew that ! was up against one of the
hardest hitting men In the game one
of the earnest and most courageous,
and one. who could taxa a marvellous
amount of punishment. SO decid-
ed TO fight along cautiously and wear
lily to wear down Fitz gradually and
10 save much Of my energy for q
final effort.

From the twenty one that reported in

There is another element which viii

of regularity by any club.

are good catchers, but neither of whJ,n

There has been little base running
In past world series, mainly because
managers have favored tight ratn ~
than open baseball in the big event.
II we remember rightly Cobb stole ev-
erything but Gibson's gloves in the
Detroit Pittsburg series of 1909, but
that was an exception. Collins might
do that this year, it's not Impossible,
but its scarcely probable that any Of
the others will.
The Sox have a good edge in >he

up to their season form.
