jim dropped to the floor a baten man it beems possible pos sibe he eigher Eig hed jim should have kept away from that man until ho did not have punch left in him 1 am satie Oed that fitz cad bit as hard as sullivan could in bis palmy days corbett evaded him beautifully up to the finish and had him distressed ath those aggravating jabs in the face careless move lost him the fight we saw the greatest contest in the history of the game though and filz deserves full credit for hia victory al smith was even more reticent than usual when the battle was over i is as game aa a pebble he
