For twenty rounds the | two fought like demons, each striving to finish the contest with a knockout, and then, after all, the referee declared the fight |a draw. From the seventh until the twentleth it was a glve-and-take contest, and to the pro- Hanlon house present it seemed as i the decision would be his. But Referee Graney thought otherwise. the ringside it looked, almost from the be- ginning, as though Corbett must inevitably succumb to the viclous jabs of his lusty opponent. Round after round left him weak and groggy, time after time the gong alone | saved him, as it seemed, from absolute de- feat. Still weak and bleeding from num- | berless wounds he steadfastly refused as- | sistance, alked to his corner unaided and came up agaln game if none too strong. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the fight was the champlon's apparently 13- exhaustible fund of reserve strength. Let the finish of any given round leave him weak as it might, he always managed to turn up again on time able, at least, give a good account of himself in the suc- ceeding bout.
