Late in the 9th round with strength ebbing rap
idly, Corbett decided to risk everything on ter
rife right across to Choynski's jaw. In the 18th
round, Corbett, feinting and jabbing, worked Big
Joe into position. Doubling his shattered right fist
Jim hooked two lefts to Choynski's face, and, as
Joe swayed, stepped quickly in and crossed his
right hand Timed perfectly, the punch landed
squarely on the vital point of the jaw AS Joe fell
Corbett turned to his corner and held out his hands
to have his gloves unlaced without looking back
Jim later admitted that if Choynski had climbed
off the floor that day he would have had to forfeit
the fight as his hands were so shattered it would
have been impossible to continue.
Following this victory, Gentleman JIM started
his meteoric rise to the championship. Jake Kill
rain, Peter Jackson, Charley Mitchell, and finally
John L. Sullivan himself fell before the fists OF
the young Westerner. The fall of 1892 saw James
J. Corbett undisputed champion.
In the years that followed Corbett took on all
chalengers successfully defending the tile for five
years when he was matched with RUBY Bob

Licking Handed Great
I0bn L. Stands Alone
In Prize Ring History
By Peter Hurst

\ no single event in the history of the prize ring
~ quite approaches in significance the defeat OF
the great John L. Sullivan at the hands OF James j.
Corbett the San Francisco bank clerk.
The Juror caused by Braddocks upset victory
over Baer or Dempsey's crushing of the giant VIII
lard at Toledo pales in comparison with the wide
spread wailing which arose among the faithful
over the defeat of probably the most popular
champion ever to wear the heavyweight dladem
To Corbett must go the credit for two drastic
changes in the fight game. First of ALL he TOOK II
out of the "stand-and-slug" rut and gave to 1t
background of science and skill Secondly, and
what was even more astounding, Corbett definitely
proved his statement that man could be prize
fighter and yet gentleman.
"Gentleman JIM Corbett however paradoxical
it may seem, at times savage, predatory
fighting man. In going back through the records
it was found that he participated IN some OF the
bloodiest battles in ring history.
@NE in particular stands out the famous 2o-
~ round fight against Joe Choynskl, staged on
a barge anchored off the mud-fats at Benlcla,
California Choynski raised in the tenderloin
If San Francisco, and Jim Corbett, also,
native San Franciscan, were enemies OF long
standing and knockout at the hands OF Corpett
in an amateur bout was the only black marx
against Choynsk Upon the issuance OF challenge
by Choynski, Corbett accepted on the condltlon
that the California Athletic club hackers OF the
fight, find site away from the eyes of the law.
This detail attended to, Corbett and Choynskl
were secretly escorted to a farmers barn 30 miles
north of San Francisco Here gloves were donned
and the contestants squared away but the sheriff
and posse broke it up at the start of the sixth
.ound This stopped hostilities for three days.
It was then decided to anchor a freight barge
off Bencia and resume the battle On the appointed
dav Corbett and Choynski appeared for what was
destined to be one of the most sanguinary, hard
fought matches ever witnessed. When the two
were brought to the center of the ring for final In
structions. it was found that Choynski, acting on
the advice of his handlers, had neglected to bring
pair of boxing gloves and as none were available

persistent challenger to Jeffrles championship
In 1902, at the age of 3d. Gentleman jim hnaHy
succeeded in realizing his dream-another chance
to regain his lost title.
That first Corbett-Jeffries bout is one OF the
most thrilling in the annals of the prize ring Here
was Corbett, man far beyond his prime-an old
man, Judged by the exacting standards OF the ring
matching his 100 pounds against Jim Jeffrles' Wno'

known He was possessed of devastating lett

Jeffries. The crowd of 10000 stood on the seats
cheering the boxing exhibition Up to the middle
of the 23rd round it seemed that no human hghtlng
machine could stand against the skill that was
Corbett's that day. But again Fate pulled the
strings With Jeffries badly befuddled, Corbett ma
neuvered him into position stepped inside OF JET
res left hand for the finishing punch-and ran
squarely into terrific right to the jaw which
knocked him completely out. Thus ended Gentle
man Jm's" quest for the title. Only twice more did
he go to the well. The first time to knock out Kid
Mccoy in the sixth round of 25-round fght-and
the second time for re-match with Jeffries But
this time Jim Corbett nothing but a shadow
and a name. His wzardy gone his eyesight fail
ing nothing was left but that courageous heart
Jeffries caught him in nine rounds and the curtain
rang down on the career of Gentleman JIM
Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1936-03-15

at the time, Corbett allowed him to wear thick
pair of driving gloves, donated by spectator.
Choynsh was the typical fighter of the time.
Outweiehing Corbett more than so pounds, his
only attack was a bull-like rush which, coupled
with his wild swings, made him perfect target for
Corbetts straight left leads and beautifully timed
right crosses. At the end of the second round
Choynski was so badly cut about the face 1t ap-
peared the fight would be awarded to Corbett on
technical knockout-but Fate changed this. AS the
third round opened, Choynski bored in and Gent
tleman Jm," attempting a straight left, landed
high, smashing his hand on Choynskis forehead.
A FTER fifteen rounds of furious battling, during
~ which Corbett absorbed terrific punishment,
he suddenly found that by arcing his left hand
lead to the head and allowing his index knucKle 10
absorb the shock of the blow, he could deal out
paralyzing punch This same punch, now known as
"hook,' was invented out of sheer necessity by
Corbett that day, and has since become funda-
mental part of every irst-rate boxers attack
From the 18th to the 25th round the tide OF battle
turned and Corbett, carried the fight to Choynskl.
