in return. Mitchell led twice with
the left, but fell short. On the third
attempt he landed lightly on the
wind. but took in pay a bang on the
nose which REDEEMED that organ.
Mitchell landed lightly on the jaw,
but took a hard one flush to the face
that jolted the head back.
Round Mitchell led with the
left. catching Corbett on the mouth.
Mitchell then for the first time tried
to force the fight but his blows
fell short Corbett resumed the
offensive and soon had Mitchell in
corner. where he landed a left
heavily on the mouth. In a brisk
rally Mitchell took several punches
on the neck, cleverly ducking a
swing at the jaw. Toward the close
of the round Corbett worked Mitch
ell over the ropes, landed a straight
left on the temple and dropped him.
At this point Corbett utterly lost his
head. If il had not been for Ref
cree Kelly's heavy restraining hand
! no would then and there have lost
the fight. He was frantic to get at
his man and finish him, actually
struggling with the referee to dash
at Mitchell every time the English
man got up on one knee. The gong
sounded with Mitchell still down.
Round 3-During the minutes
rest the referee very seriously warn
ed Corbett about fouling and his
seconds implored him to keep his
head. When the gong sounded
Mitchell came up slowly and Corbett
sprang at him. There was only one
fighter in the ring and that was

corner, where, after punching Mitch
ell on the nose with his left and

and knocked him down. Again Cor

could not keep him away from
Mitchell. who. half dazed, was
awaiting his 10 seconds. Corbett's s
attendants jumped into the ring and
pushed Corbett away from his vic

ears. Their man was mad. The in

plunged at him. smashing him on
the mouth. Mitchell fell heavily and
the blood gushed from his mouth
and nose. Again Corbetts seconds
broke into the ring and wound their
arms around him, for only in thai
way could they restrain him as the
referees hand marked the passing
10 seconds Every word the refereC

Mitchell turned slowly on the fiooi
and at last staggered to his feet. In

defenseless and dazed. as Corbet
rushed at him. and. swinging his
right. smashed a terrific blow
squarely on Mitchell's jaw. The Eng

BY MAX BAITASAR,
Noted Fight Expert.

When Jack Dempsey and Georges
Carpenter meet July 2 it will be
the second time that an international
battle for the worlds heavyweight
championship under Marquis of
Queensbury rules has been fought.
To the late Charlie Mitchell, the
great English champion, and Jim
Corbett belongs the honor OF having
met in the first international con-
test under these rules with the pad-
ded mitts.
Two years before his fight with
Mitchell the American had won the
heavyweight championship Of the
world in the first contest for the
title in which the big gloves were
used and Queensberry rules pre-
vailed. but he took the honors from
an American-good old John l..
The fight between Mitchell and
Corbett, which took place in Jack
sonville. Fla, on Jan. 25, 1884. was
won by Corbett by a clean knockout
in the third round. II was a grudge
affair. if ever there was one.
Grudge Grows.
Bad blood had existed between
the men almost from the day that
Corbett had battered the Boston
Strong Boy" into a state Of help
lessness in 21 rounds. Mitchell had
belittled Corbett's victory. declaring
that Sullivan at the time was moth
ing more than an old man. and that
any good fighter should have stop
ped him in a few rounds.
The impetuous and highly strung
Corbett, always sensitive to criti-
/ cism. Immediately conceived a vio-
lent dislike that soon grew into
intense hatred for the Briton and
when the latter came to America IL
was without much difficulty that a
match between them was arranged
Tom Allen, another Englishman
who had won the heavyweight cham
pionship under London ring rules
trained Mitchell for the battle
Corbett had with him the ole
crowd that conditioned him for tn,
, Sullivan fight. When the day o.
battle arrived both were in wonder
e full condition, but Mitchell was un
der the double handicap Of NOR
e years and fewer pounds.
s Corbett never in an amiable moo,
before a fight. was in a towering
] rage at ringtime because Of tn
efforts tina thad been made to sto
the contest. These however, wer
] unsuccessful.

tory. Jan. 90, 1894:

from restraint. and Mitchell, in NOR
