Thero is a look of power about Sullivan’s ohest, shoulders and arms, however, that is apsolutely colos: This look of power was not contined to arms, shoulders and chest, eitber, 1t was in every line, as well as in the huee swelling masses of muscla that clothed that mighty trunk. Even his color was ruddy and warm despite the woird tricks played by the elec- trie light. Ho Looked a Winner, Thus it was with Sullivan as ho sat in his corner, the stern, sober face furrowed with caroand an experionce of the world, even overripo for one of his years, the grizzled hair, the thick rounded ‘muscles standing out in that fullnoss of maturity that usnally denotes the last grain of stubborn strength at the cost of at_lonst some of the speed and suppleness of youth, and indeed from overy point of view he looked a man past his prime all in all, but those undywng ualities, iron will and unflinching courage. by prematurely old and even in years boyond tho meridian of lifo as far as physique went, ho still wore tha look of a winner, though opposed to him were youth, courage, skill, speed and svch a form as romised more than any prize-fighter that gnd aver faced him.

CORBETT I8 ALL RIGHT, Doesn't Foel Tired asud Wenrs His Honors Quite Easily. New OnwLesss, Le., Sept. 7.—Corbett was seen immediately after he entered his dress- ing room by an Associated Press reporter, When he camoin a dozen or more men spravg forward to shake his band, but he pushed them back, saying: “‘Don't get so excited. I know I won and 1 know you are all glaa of it, but don’t try to oclaw me to death. Look at e, I um "not excited, and why should vou people bef Just get away from me and let me get a littie air.” He then lay on his cotand was rubbed down betore being weighed. He tipped the scale at 184 pounds, showing that he had ouly lost five pounds during the fight. In auswer to questions, Corbett said: I Knew what I could do. Uid Tnot tell you coming down on the train I would whip him with easo and to bet all you could raise on the re- sult! I bad been practicing for weeks to guard agaiost his pnuuunrn‘yu of fighting, and folt just as confiaent of winning as I did that I was alive.” Bob Fitzsimmons knocked at the door and wanted (o see Corbett, **Don’t let him in,” said the new champion. “I don’'t want to soe him. ‘Lhe big duffer would not come near me before the fight and I won't see him now.” Fitzsunmous afterwards poked his haod over the top of a door and called to Corbett, but Jim told him to get down, that he would have nothing to do with him, Not at ali Tired. Californian said that he aid not right hand.” When Mike Donovan entered the room Corbett sprang to his feet and shook hands with him very cordially, “Well, Mike, wo goton top at last. ike, my boy, every word vou saia about Sullivan was right. To fought just as you said he would fight, and I followed your advice and here I am the winner and the chamvion. 1 scarcely know how to tnank you and express my gratitude to ycu,” His Traner Happy. Billy Delancy, who really deserves great credit for getting Corbett in his present magnificent condition, is highly elated over the victory. He snid Lie not only coasidered Corbat: the greatest. fighter in”the world, but that Corbett could take Peter Jackson in the same ring he whipped Sullivan in and could whip tho colored man as casy as he knocked out the big fellow. ‘‘This man, T tell you, 1s a wonder. Why, look at him. e has not got a scratch or even a red mark of any description on him to show that he had been fighting," At this time a messencer entered the room and informeda Corbett that his wife was on tho other end of the wire and wented totalk to him. “Oh, Ican't go now,” said the stalwart Jim. *Just give her my love, and tell her I ::r; All right, feehng well, and not hurt a Turalng to Mike Donovan he sad: “I cotld go out and do a ten-mile run without becoming tho least weary. This fight was simply 8 walkover and the softest kind of & snap. The only thing I feel is a littie sore- ness in my right hand from the last punch I gave him. With that exception I would never know that I had been fighting." Word was received from Charlie Johnson, Sullivan’s backer,that he was willing to back Corbett against Peter Jackson or any man in the world for $20,000. Corbett says he is on top now and can afford to rest awilo; that his day for begging at other mon’s doors has one by, Corbett will loave for New York I'riday morning on a decorated traw, stop- E‘“ over at varlous places and arriving in ow York Monday afiernoon 1n time for his boxing entertainment at Madison Square garden. eI ey EXCITEMENT AT 'FRISCO. Corbett's Friends About Tickled to Death —How the Nows Fell Elsewhere. Sax Fraxoisco, Cal, Sept. 7.—Before 9 o'clock tonight newspaper extras were on the streot giving detalls of the great New Orlenns fight and announcing_ that James J. Corbett had dofeated John L. Sullivan and been declared champion of the world. All during the eveniug thousands of people had crowded around the newspaper bulletin boards and cheored wildly s every bulletin was posted, and when the final bulletin was received, a little after 8:30, announcing that Corbett was the victor, the wildost kinds of scenes occurred. The city has not witnessed such enthusiasm for many a day. Although there had been general hope heroe that Corbett would win the great fight, there was no unusual amount of money bet on him, as there was fear that be had under- taken too big & contract when ne cackled Sullivap. Betting here today was 10 to 3 in favor of Sullivao, and quite a number of small wagers were made, but no large amounts, The Olympic club, of which Cor- bott was boxing instructor, backed Jim to a man and touight the members are cel- evrating the victory. As tho progress of the fight showing Corbet’s fine fighting was read from the bulletin boards, a grand rush was made to pool rooms to hedge. Corbett's brother, Henry, con- ducts the principal pool room here and his place was biockaded by frantic bettors anxious to get in at the last moment. Extra editions of the newspapers were DOUght by the thousands. The crowas in front of the bulletin poards were so great -that the street car traftic from Market sireet was impeded. Telegrams of congratulation poured in on Corbett’s father who conducts & livery stable on Hayes street. Corbety, sr., of course, was proud of his son, but was confi- dent that Jim would win, He 1s sorry that Jim is a prize fghter, but says that if the boy insists on following that business he wants him to be at the top. New Yorkers Astonished, New York, Sept, 7.—The news that Cor- bett had defeated the ereat and only Jobu L. and was tho new champion heavyweight pugilist of the world was received in this city with someshing like astonishment. The Corbett men are in the minority and their demeanor was in strange contrast with that of the followers of the Boston boy. ‘The great majority could not bolieva that Sul- livan had at last met wilth his match, and his friends lingered around the tickers and bulletin boards hoping that tnere bad been a mistake, but when it was definitely known that Corbett was now the champlon enthu- sinsm knew, no bounds. Chicago Satlsfled. Cnicaco, TiL., Sept. 7.—The interest shown in the fight here was intense. The streets in front of the bulletin boards were practi- cally impassable for streot cars ana it was with the greatest difficulty that pedes- trians could make their way through the crowd. Much Chicago money was on Corbett, and all of it at good odds and as the bulletins began to come showing that Sullivan was getting the worst of the fray the delight of the Corbett sym- pathizers knew no bounds, When the re- sult was announced the crowds simply went wila. Men rushed along the street yelling “Corbett_wins,” “Corbott wins,” and every crowd yelled itselt hoarse over the advent of a new champion. The excitement surpassea that shown at any event since the national election. LOCAL SPORTS WENT BROKE, Admirers of the Boston Slugger Can’t Un- derstand How it Occurred. When the patrolmen rapped on the win- dow! of the various downtown sa- loons &t midnight last night the curtains dropped 1n front of tbe most welancholy dead game sports that Omaha has seen for many a day. The talent was not in last night and went broke on the big man from Beantown with a unanimity pathetic to behold. 'They gathered in front of the bar and, with hands thrust deep into their empty pockets, tried to explain .to one another how 1t happened. There was considerable betting done in the various resorts last evening in wnich the Sullivan contingent carried a very big ead. Betting started at 2 to 1 in favor of the Bostonian, but Corbett money was not forth- coming at that tigure and Lthe odds wepre in- croased to almost any limit. Betsof 3 to 1 105 to 1 were common &nd & number of luna- tics gave odds of 10 und 15 to 1. Corbewt’s victory in the face of these odds wus a body blow that took the breath as well as the simoleons of theentnusiasticSullivan crowad. As the bulletins showed Corbott to be show- ing up beyond all popular expectations the faces of his backers began Lo lengthen, but hey put on & bold front and banked on the “torriole right” that was bound to find its work before the fight was over. The news that Sullivan was knoclred out was recelved with incredulous astonishment. But as the report was authenticated aston- ishment was eucoeeded by chagrin and in fifteen minutes not a sport was to be seen on the streets except a few who had been lncky enouxh o take the short end aud devoted the remainder of the night telling their friends how they knew it all the time. One well known man about town who had more money toa e made nine bets on Suilivi t odds ranging from 5 to 1 to 10 to 1, and Is about 85,000 losor for his temerity. The mutuals at the Diamord paid $3.25 and the pool rooms are heavy losers . ———— NEWS OF YESTERDAY. Domestic.
