Corbett swung at him wildly and Fitzsimmons, witnout raising his hands, ducked the blows and Corbett clinched him, striking with his rignt hand back of the ear as he did so. The blow was not hard, as the unfortunate Cali- fornian was very weak. Filzsimmons took no notice of it and Billy Brady and others of Corbett’s seconds dragged him away from Fitzsimmons.

The feminine part of the Corbett family has taken Jim’s defeat philosophically, but not without a first pang of keen disap- pointment. On their own account, they early became reconciled to tne result and cherished thouzhts only of what a humiliating experience it would be considered by the one principally concerned. The mother and the sisters of the van- quished gladiator had remained at the paternal home on Hayes street; the wife had lingered in her apartments at the Hotel St. Nicholas, several blocks away. Buch was their relative positions yester- day evening after they had learned and together discussed the fall of their hero. “It was a great shock to us,’ said the sister Corbett as, with becoming bonnet and street attire still on, she stood with the mother Corbeti in the upstairs hall- way of their home. She had just come in from the hotel, which she had left after assuring herself that Jim’s wife was no ionger distressing herself over the un- avoldable defeat of her husband. The mother Corbett, matronly and portly, but withal comparatively youthful considering the age of her sons, gave the impression of one who had not worried much during a lifetime, of one not keenly sensitive to annoyances and care. “Poor Jim!’ continued the sister. “‘This will be bard for him to bear; he is s0 proud.” “Yes,” interposed the mother; ‘‘he never thought that he cou!d be beaten, and we didn’t, either. He was doing all the fighting right along, and had the best of it, according to the reports, But every one, I guess, bas to lose some time, Na- poleon had his Waterloo and Jim had his Fitz. It was one of those tricky punches that did it. right on the heart, and they say that he hits a terrible blow and makes believe a good many things while he is waiting round to get in one of those punches.’ “But Jim needn’t be ashamed,” spoke up the sister. ‘‘He put up a good fight and did clever work.

A good deal of this time was taken up in looking about and pointing out the noted sports in attendance, and in this regard it goes without saying that John | L. Sullivan was the most-gazed-upon notable there. Bat Masterson was one of the characters at the ringsige. He came there in solemn clothing and with all kinds of monev to bet on Corbett. Bat, like others who are now here, is a stranger in these hills, but when he entered the arena to-day there arosea cheer from the people who were sitting on the benches which could have been heard in quaint old Chinatown. Twenty miputes later Billy Madden, who stood at the shoulderof John L. Sul- livan for many months, passed through the gate. He twisted his black mus- tacne, saluted to many men whom he knew and squared himself on his seat. The world-famous *‘has been,” John L. Bullivan, puffing and grunting, was the next arrival. He bellowed at the doorkeeper, stretched the great collar around his neck and tipped his silk hat to somebody whom he thought he knew. The great ex-warrior of the ring was a majestic fellow, gray and happy as he was. His big shoulders covered the board behind him for three feet or more and every time he spoke his voice sounded like the chieftain of a good old-time menagerie and this means the lion. “Parson’” Davies, clean shaved and, as usaal, with his thumb at his nose at every suggestion of a stranger, was another man who watched the fighters from the benches. He sat on a piece of timber near Fitzsimmons’ corner, and his face, drawn and white as a gravestone, was quite as expressionless. Beside bim was “Cow Horn” Harry Bampeon of Bodie, who is a man with whiskers streaked with grayv. Sixteen years ago men from Bodie were looked upon as fellows who fought at the drop of the hat. But old “Cow Horn” was passive to- day, and he desired to have it understood that the men from Bodie, who were sit- ting on either side of him, were ‘“‘on the level” and that their guns had been left at home. Peeping between the shoulders of two | Ban Francisco men who wore white sweaters and had flowers in the lappels of their coats, was the time-honored Al Bmith, the man who has seen every great prizefight since the days of Figg. Smith yawned and stretched his wiry shoulders as he sat on the white board and declared to a man behind bim that he bad been to many fights but that in the future he preferred to have them at home. Away off in one corner, but still near the ropes, was Jimmy Wakeley. His necktie was wrapped like a pancake about the bosom of his shirt, and he glared rather than stared at what was going on in the ring. He had nothing to say. Bitting behind him, with an eye as blue as the sky, was “*Bensitive” Bill Williams of Bishop Creek. Bill wore a flannel shirt and a cap made of the skin of the erizzly bear. ‘When & boy who was peddling souvenirs of the battle rubbed against the “'sens tive’” man, Bill aroused everybody by de- claring that the world was his. Seven men from all parts of the country in- stantly arose from their seats and grasped the hand of Bill and congratulated him. Assemblyman Garrard, the on!y Damo- crat of the Nevada Legislature, and the man who introduced the bill which made prize fighting possible in this State, poked his gray whiskers over the shoulder of “Sensitive” William and said he was glad that he had got the world. Only a few feet away sat Wyatt Earp, steely eyed and calm. Like Bat Master- son, Wyatt has some things to tell alter he is dead. Bill Langdon of Ean Francisco, but for- merly of Chicago, was resting on a bench pebind Earp and stared meekly at the ring; then he removed his necktis, which is something unusual for the man of White-maple Bar. “What do yon think about it?” said Bill, poking Mayor Yerington of Carson | They simply nodded to eaeh other and | said “It's a go.” A little later Fitzsimmons' prospects seemed to b> on the wane, and Mose, tarning to his old friend Barney, asked | juw an | with a triumphant grin 1f he had any | more money in his clothes. “I've got $300,” replied Coleman. “What are your figures?” “I'll put $500 | against it’’ replied Gunst. ‘“You're on again,” said Coleman. “If Jim loses this fight,” said Gunst, turning to Ed Purser, who sat beside him in the | front box, I stand to Josea cool nine ) thousand.” “'Ob, your money is safe,” | said Purser, “Jim will win in a jog.” About twenty feet away was another | box, which was occupied by State Senator | Percy Henderson and Assembiyman Sig | Bettman of California, Jesse Marks and | the original oid *Blinker” Murphy. | These three notables wore black fur caps, sweaters and arctic overcoats, and had little blue glasses in their pockets in anticipation of a snowstorm.

Fitzsimmons kept away for a lime and showed his wonderful re- cuperative abiiities, but he was slow. and kept clinching. Jim uppercut him repestediy in the ciinches and swune right and left three or four times on the jaw. Fitzsimmons appeared very groggy, but Jim lacked strength to get in the deciding blow.

Fitzsim- mons did not Jike this treatment and he took ahand in the attack himself, He put three hard lefts in succession on Jim's head and swung 8 right over the ear that Jim tried to avoid, but failed. Jim’s lert reached the face and with his right sent a vicious up- percut to the Cornishman’s chin.

Jim put his left on the body and came into & tlinen. As they broke away Fiizsimmons hooked him with a right under the ear, but Jim retalinted with a right and left on the jaw.

Cor- bett was standing the battie fairly well, but his color was 1ot 6 {resh as the Cornishman’s. It was easy to see that Jim was tired. Round 14—Jim missed the opening lead with his right, but on the next attempt put a light left on the jaw, Fitzsimmons countering suffly with a right on the side of ‘the head. The Australian sent in aright and left on the {aw, which jurred Jim, and then piled in & eft’ uppercut, and as Jim turned around to skip outof reach Fitzsimmons pasted him on the back of the head, Fitz seemed to have more power than ever behind his_blows.

Instead of keeping his body rigid and throwing his head back, as was his usual cusiom in ailow- ing blows of this kind to slip by his face, Cor- bett, underestimating his opponent’s cun- ning, contemptuousiy threw back his head and chest, thus throwing his stomach forward. ‘The Australian’s small eyes twinkled and with panther-like speed he drew back his eft with the forearm rigid and ripoed it up into the pitot Jim's stomach a little under the heart.

CARSON, NEv., March 17.—When Siler counted out the fatal seconds and reached tbe last count he threw up both his hands and left the ring. A scene of Indescriba- ble confusion followad. Cries of *‘foul” were repeated throughout the arena and the crowd clamberad through the ropes. Of course, there was no foul, as Corbett was knocked out fairly, and no notice was taken of the clamor.

Fitzsimmons kissed her husband’s face, not noticing the blood which was trickling from his nose and mouth. Mar- tin Julian headed the procession to the dressing-room, followed by Fitzsimmons with Mrs. Fitzsimmons at his side, and the crowd cheezed the victor heartily. A L 3 LITTLE MEN chance. Any way, Jim has made a whole lot of money out of prizetighting, more than any one else, I guess,” “How do you know that he has made a lot of money?’ objected the mother. **We are not talking about that.” “I know that he has fought for some of the biggest purses everoffered,” answered the sister. “I just received a telegram from Carson,” saia Miss Corbett, chang- ing the subject and fi:hing about into the mysteries of a Woman's pocket. I guess they forget about us at first during the ex- citement and then sent this. it says: ‘Don’t worry. Lrave here to-night.” “I'm pretty sure Jim’s wife will not see any one to-night. No; she is not pres- trated, She said that Jim is still her hus- band and is just as much to her victorious or defeated. She supposed that defeat must come sometime, and she is not go- ing to take on about it.”’ And Mrs. James J. Corbett would not be seen because by the conventional and FIGHT WELL Dal Hawkins Easily Whips Martin Fla- herty and George Green Bests Billy Smith., CARSON, Nxv., March 17,—Most of the spectators who witnessed the fight found their way back to the arena in time to see the little fellows in action. Martin Flaherty of Lowell Mass., and Dal Hawkins of San Francisco were the first pair to face Referee Malachy Hogan of Chicago. *“'Spider” Kelly and Jim Neal were behind Hawkins, and Bob Kane and Harry Baker took care of Flaherty. Hawkins went for the New Engiander from the tap of the bell. He made two ineffectual swings at Flaherty’s jaw be- fore he gauged the distance. On nis third attempt he landed flush on the point of Martin’s chin, and the man from Lowell dropped like a Nevada stcer hit with anax. He lay on his back while Hogan counted him out, and had to be helped to his corner. The actual time consumed in fighting was forty seconds, and the knock- out was one of the prettiest and most com- plete on record. “‘Mysterious’” Billy Smith of Boston and George Green (Young Corbett) of San Francisco wound up the carnival. Bmith's seconds were Harry Baker and Jack Fay. Bob McArthur and Eddie Greany attended to Green. The San Franciscan outpointed and outpunched Smith and had him done 10 a turn ot the end of the twelfth round, when the Bostonian gave it up. Smith claimed that his left arm, which was iractured recently, bad gone back on him, but most people think he was prostrated with heart failure. Green hammered away on his opponent’s body until Smith carried a scarlet circle around the heart. The first two rounds werd fast and furi- ous. Smith rushe! Green and thumped him over the kidneys as they came to- gether. He repeatedly tried to hook Green with his right in the breakawa but invariably over-reached and did no damage. Green made an even break of the second, third and fourth rounds, and he had Smitk toned down considerably in the fifth. From that on the fight was Green's. He never lot up a minute, varying his left drives for the heart with an occasional swing on the jaw. At the conclusion of the twelith round the sponge went up from Smith’s corner. His seconds claimed that he could no longer use his left and stood no chance to win with one hand. The betting was 100 to 90 on the Fiah- erty-Hawkins bout, with the Eastern man favorite, and 100 to 80 on Green and Smith, with the Californian at the big end. Fitz Is All Right. CARSON, Nkv., March 17.—Afer Fitz- simmons had dined and celebrated his victory with his family he drove into town with Martin Julian and visited, the headquarters of the Uhited Associated Presses.

Some Lost Bets and Some Won and Are Very Jubilant, Corbett’s Conlition Seemed to Be Thought R:sponsible for His D:feat. Opinions on the result of the fight were numerous and varied. Some of the most characteristic are appended : Judge Campbell—I am not surprised et the result, for since I saw Fitzsimmons and Sharkey fight and Corbett and Shar- key, my judgment has been that Corbett was lacking in vitality. I hardly thought it possible that Corbett could recuperate and gain both strength and vitality in the limited time since he fouzht Sharkey. I was satisfied from the way Filzsimmons bandled Sharkey that he was a very pow- erful man, and I always believed that Fitz had Sharkey under control after the sec- ond round of the fight. On the other hand, 1 did not believe that Corbett could have lasted another round with Sharkey, George T. Maxwell, secretary of the Fir Department—My opinion 18 that the bet- ter man won the fight from what I havs been able to judge from the papers. Cor- bett is evidently on the decline ana has never recovered his recuperative powers. Scientifically, he is the cleverer man of the two. Fire Marshal Towe—I thought Corbett would win and personally I wish he Lad, 1 bave known him and his parents for along time, and besices it would have been to the homor of his native city. He ap- parently trained well for the fight, and I can’t understand wby Fitzsimmons knocked him out so quickly. Police Surgeon Weil—It seems to have been a square fight and in my opinion the better man won. Police Lieutenant Birdsall—I always thought Fitzsimmons would win. He has wonderful driving power, and I knew that if he could get & chauce he would finish Corbett. Detective Bainbridge—Fitzsimmons is a remarkable man and no one knows him thoroughly till he gets into the ring. He has wonderful reserve forces, which he uses to advantage. He will playing at being almost knocked out so that he can get the chance he is waiting for and he can stand any amount of punishment waiting for that chance. Police Sergeant C. P. Wright—I thought all the time Fitzsimmons would win. Fitzsimmons is a fizhter and Corbett is a boxer, that's the distinction I draw be- iween the two men. Charles E. Corry—I saw Corbett go against Sharkey and made np my mind that Jim couldn’t get into condition to go the route with Fiiz.
