This is a pen picture of the downfall of one of America’s greatest Copyrighted” Pugilists, wrecked by Hearst’s “New Journalism.” Corbett’s Waterloo in the Carson arena yesterday was viewed by about five thousand spectators, During the first half of the fight Corbett seemed to be gaining the victory, but later his vitality waned and Fitzsimmons had him at his mercy. During the fourteenth and last round the once great “Our Jim” protruded his stomach, making an “opening” that Fitz did not overlook. Quickly the Cornishman struck the “wind”.and followed it with a blow over the heart that sent Jim to his knees, where he remained for fifteen seconds and was counted out. On th: S:cond Paje of “The Call” is a diagram showing every blow received by the contestants. e o A |
