I was a little angry at him for not fighting, and when I got close I almost stuck my glove In his face and sald to him: “Come on and fight like a man!" Corbett merely laughed at me, In the fifth round I stung the Call- fornian with a hard swing to the chest, but he jumped right back at me and hit me on the nose, This started the blood to flowing and a great cheer arose from the California crowd.
