This Is the thirteenth chapter of
 series which MT. Corbett is writ
 ing concerning his great fight
 with James J. Jeffries in 1900. In
 this series of articles NIT. Corbctt
 reveals to the public. for the first
 time. some of the dramatic and
 humorous features of that fight
 which. up to this time, were known
 only to his intimates.
 Some persons will tell you that Jim Jeffries scored knockout victory over me in Coney Island back in 1900 with the lucklest punch ever delivered in a prize ring" And even Jeffries him self will admit that the wallop he landed on my jaw iu tho twenty third round was chance punch-more of wild lunge than 8 we'll timed blow. But it certainly was wallop. |. The finish came so quickly that |. who was on the receiving end of the punch, can't tell you how it happened But am going to tell you what hap pened prior to the delivery of that purch-of how I sat in my corner after the twenty. second round without a thought in my mind that I could be defeated.
 Returning to my corner after the twenty second round I hopped into my chair and began thinking of things that were, in a certain way, far remote from the battle itself If my thpughs had been put on paper, this iss about the way they would have read: Jim. you've got him whipped You've wor at least IS out of 22 rounds by margin so wide that there isn't a question of doubt as to who will get the verdict Jeff can win all the re- maining rounds and still be unabls to over como your leads in the 1S Now play it safe through the rest of the fight. Take it easy for tho next two rounds and then go into the twerty- fifth and make whirlwind finish Go out in this twenty-third and twenty fourth with your muscles relaxed Give shen, a rest Keep on the defen- sive during this round as much as pos sible. You don't need to score any more points. Remember-play safe"
 And then, after I had mapre out this supposedly splendid programme of conserving my energies through the twenty third and fwenty-fourth rounds so that I might go into the twenty fifth battle furiously with Jeffries un- til the last gong banged l began thinking:
 Who will I get to manage me now that l am champion again?"
 Now I'll have the chance to even up him fight and show him that it was a lucky punch that whipped me in Car son City,"

Falling Back to Pre- pared Positions, General
 View in Washington
NO DISORDER IN GREAT HUN RETREAT
Believed, However, That Germans Are Retiring to Defenses Not Fully Equipped and Short of Re-
 serve Manpower

Washington, October 1S-While the
 German retirement in Belgium has
 glittering possibilities, military opin-
 ion here is forced to the conclusion
 that what Is in progress is a well or dered and executed withdrawal, prob ably upon prepared positions. The fact I that reports from other portions of
 the front, notably from the Lille area.
 and the sector southeast of Laon, also tell of retirements, but as yet no of ficiaI information has come to in dicate where the line upon which the
 enemy win attempt to stand has been
 established.
 Army officials can take no notice of the numerous reports of an impending compiete equalization in seeking the Iexplanation of the Germans maneu- |vers in the field They can .ascribe those operations to very definite and well developed planssof the German general staff.
 It was said that the enemy probably l has begun the second phase of the undertake as a result of unwavering pressure by Marshal Foch all along the battle line.
 Lacking the reserves with which to make stand on an extended front, | it is to be assumed that he is falling I back to a much shortened line where he can show greater resistance power. NEW LINE BELIEVED WEAK There is reason to believe, however, kthat under the hammering of the all Ilied and American armies, the German Thigh command has been compelled to make a compromise. Instead of hold ling onto the front lines until the new front was in complete readiness, it is |regarded as highly probable that the advanced positions are being aband- oned barely in time to avoid encircle- ment and the retirement being made to defenses not fully equipped and | |certainly not manned with extensive Preserves.
 If such is the case. the retiring armies mustSturn and fight again when | they reach the new lines. The rapid l ity of the allied pursuit in each case gives no opportunity for rest or reor- ganization.
 The genius of the German general staff is plainly shown. officers say, in the skill in which the withdrawal has been conducted thus far and it is still evident that well ordered movement is clearing enemy forces out lof the Belgian coast area. The situa- Lfion there is hazy in many respects, \ Fhowever, due to the swiftly changing 5 nature of the lines
