Corbett Easily Defeats Charlie
Mitchell at Jacksonville, Fla.
The Knork.Out Itlow Ilelivered In the
Third Kound-The American Fights
Savagely Both. I'riclpals
Arrested.
STORY OF THE BATTLE.
Jacksonville. Fla., Jan. 27. James
J. Corbett, of America, is the champion
mio-ilist of the world. In the third
round of his battle with. Charles Mitch
ell, of England, the latter was
"knocked out" and Corbett was
declared the winner of the fight
and of the $20,000 purse offered
by the Duval Athletic club. The
bat tie took Dlace in the club's
irona. 2, miles from this city. There
was no interference by the authorities.
Judge Call having on Wednesday is
sued an injunction preventing it
Fare to Face at I.HSt.
When time was called by Referee
John Kelly both men stepped to the
center of the ring. Then they retired to
their respective corners, only to step
forward a minute later when the word
was given for the fight to begin, and at
once the battle was on.
Mitchell's seconds were Jim Hall,
Tony Moore. Tom Allen and Steve
O'Donnell: time-keeper. Bat Master-
son. Corbett's seconds were John Don
aldson, Billy Dclane3', Jack Dempsey
and William McMillan; time-keeper for
Corbett, Ted Foley. "Snapper" Garri
son kent time for the club. John Kel
ly was referee. Ed Smith, of Denver.
challenged the winner to fight for $10,-
000 a side before the fight began.
The light Begins.
It was 2:25 when time was called for
the first round. As the men walked to
the center Mitchell shouted to the
referee: "Is that time, or shall we
shake hands?" Corbett ignored
the remark, and as he settled
on guard Mitchell withdrew his
right hand aud threw ont his
left in a position of defense. It
was evident that there was no love lost
between the men, and Corbett seemed
to think the shaking of hands an en
tirely unnecessary proceeding. As the
men straightened up the marked dif
ference in their sizes became at once
apparent. Corbett fairly towered over
his short opponent.
The men circled around each other
for a full minute before a blow was
struck. Corbett was careful, and while
Mitchell broke ground with him the
champion seemed rather anxious that
his opponent should commence the pro
ceedings. Failing in this Corbett him
self aimed the first blow. It was
a left-hand swing which passed clear
over Mitchell's head, the English
man ducking cleverly. Corbett urew
back, surprised, and had started after
Mitchell again when the latter led for
the body, landed, and received a left
and right Hand drive in the lace in
rapid succession. Corbett's right hand
left its mark, the Englishman's left eye
puffing and showing some dis
coloration. Mitchell was again the
aggressor. He swung his right
viciously but missed. He drew
back, led with his left, land
ed, and a clinch followed. Break
ing away, Mitchell led again, but land
ed with his right on Corbett's mouth,
drawing first ilood. A clinch followed
and Corbett rushed his opponent to the
ropes. Mitchell led again and a clinch
followed. As they broke away time
was called and the men went to their
corners.
The Kventful Second Koantl.
The first round had not been event
ful. It had shown Mitchell as the ag
gressor and had found him securing
: first blood by a left-hand jab on the
i champion's mouth. It was in the sec
'. ond round whrm the trouble came,
i Mitchell came to the scratch
strong and aggressive, although
his right eye showed some dis
coloration and his body showed the
mark of the champion's fisL He rushed
at Corbett and landed heavily with his
left hand on the chesL Corbett cross
: countered him with the right hand and,
1 Etead3'ing, swung the left with awful
. force on the Britisher's mouth.
Mitchell was back for more in a mo
ment and rushed in and there
i was some fast fighting at close
j range, the honors being even. Mitchell
rushed again and a clinch fol
lowed. Both refused to break at the
: referee's orders and Corbett showed
: clearly his superior strength by rush
j ing Mitchell to the ropes. They were
: separated as if by mutual consent,
j and Mitchell crossing to the side en
j deavored to get out of the corner into
j which Corbett had carried him. The
! champion was on him like a tiger; he
! seemed oblivious to his surroundings
J and bent only on reaching the eel-like
form of the wily alien. He reached
Mitchell, who straightened up, and as
I he did so Corbett swung his right hand
! and landed cleanly on the point of the
! jaw; the Britisher fell like a log and
the shouting which had been deafening
before now became indescribable.
Mittchell struggled to his feet The
blow had jarred him on a vital spot and
lie was clearly weak and groggy.
Corbett Ibises His Head.
As he rose to his feet Corbett rushed
at him and bore him to the floor. Then
came a scene of wild confusion.
Despite the orders of the referee and
contrary to the Marquis of Queesberry
; rules Corbett insisted on standing over
Mitchell, waitine for him to rise. As
he got to his knees Corbett rushed at
him and swung ciously, but missed.
The crowd was on its feet in a mo
ment: only the barbed wire fence kept
it out of the ring itself. There was
no such obstruction between the
principals and the seconds. Delaney,
McVey and Dempsey were through the
ropes in a moment, while from the
other side came Jim Hall and O'Don
nell; they were claiming foul with all
the strength of their lungs, but no hu
man voice could penetrate the huge
volume of sound which now fairly
reached the heavens. Mitchell grad
ually got to his feet and as Corbett
rushed at him again the gong sounded
and the Englishman was given a tem
porary respite.
The I-UHt Hound.
Once in his corner his seconds quick
ly refreshed him, while Dempsey and
Delaney prayed Corbett to be more
careful in his methods. Mitchell came
to the center in the third round appar
ently strong enough, but the first
move he made showed that he
knew in his heart that he was
doomed. He seemed to realize that
only a miracle could save him. He
rushed at Corbett like a mad bull, cor
nered him, and landed right and left in
rapid succession, only to be countered
and cross-countered with, right and
left with deadly effect. As the right
landed on his mouth he settled, his legs
quivered for a moment and he sank
helpless on the ropes.
Uame to the I.ast.
Those who doubted the Englishman's
gameness had their doubts removed.
He was gone absolutely, but edging to
the ropes he raised himself to his
feet as though courting a final
quietus. Before Corbett could get
to him he once more sank to the
floor, still clinging to the ropes, while
the blood - flowed from, his batU'red
mouth down over his body and stained
the resined floor. Corbett was on him
once more like a fiend. There was j
nothing human in the face that scowled ;
at the British champion. Corbett i
once more struck at the Britisher
while he was on the floor, t
and once more was the crowd ;
ou its feet, while shouts of foul i
were heard above the continuous roar of i
sound. McVey rushed to the ropes out
side and leaning across them and the j
prostrate athlete clinging to them,
pushed Corbett away from the fallen j
alien. Dempsey and Delaney and Hall
and O'Donnell were once more inside j
the ropes and the affair had deteriorat- j
ed into a rough and tumble fight more !
than a boxing contest under Marquis of
Queensberry rules.
The Deadly Knock-Out ISIow.
In the midst of the confusion Mitchell
finally got to his feet, but so hemmed
in was he by the crazed seconds in the
ring that Corbett did not see him until
he was well up. Then he pished at hira
with a viciousness which even hushed
the mad yelling of the frenzied crowd.
Mitchell was helpless as he saw Cor
bett coming. He raised his hands so
feebly that it looked more like an ap
peal for clemency than an attempt at
defense. There was no pity in the
champion's eyes. For months he
had suffered the abuse heaped on him
by Mitchell and his backers and
in that awful moment it all came
back to him and his eyes glittered
and the corners of his mouth were
set hard, wjthout one softening line.
He reached Mitchell, swung his right,
landed on the jaw, and the fight had
gone dow-n into history. Like an ox
fell the British champion. The blood
was flowing in a stream from his dam
aged mouth and formed a pool on the
snow white floor, on to which he sank,
beaten and unconscious.
It was a strange knock-out, not such
a knock-out as Corbett landed on Sulli
van at New Orleans, but a gradual fail
ing, apparently, of all of Mitchell's
physical faculties. When Sullivan fell
his body became rigid and he fell back,
landing flat on his back. Not so Mitch
ell. He was coining towards the cham
pion as he fell and the blow that set
tled his pugilistic aspirations was not
heavy enough to check his advance.
He literally fell into Corbett's arms,
covering his conqueror with his own
blood. Corbett shook him off and the
British boxer sank to tUe floor face
downward, where he lay at length a
lifeless mass.The powerful athlete of teu
minutes before was helpless as a new
born babe, and when his seconds
reached him and picked him up he was
as limp as a bundle of rags. Hall and

u.wuue" "acu ueiore me ex-
piration of the ten seconds necessary to
count him out. It was patent to the
experienced eye that when he fell no
power on earth could save him.
Corbett Kscapcs I'nnmrked.
O'Donnell took Mitchell in his arms
and carried him bodily to his corner.
Through the opening into the ring
came the crowd like a Cock of sheep,
and before Corbett could get to
his corner there was a howling, cheer
ing, frenzied mob around him. It took
some minutes to bring Mitchell to con
sciousness. He was weak and exhausted
when he fell, and his head striking the
hard floor served to take from him the
little strength he had. The blood was
washed from his face ami body and re
storatives applied. He soon rallied.
With the exception of a bad left eye he
showed no marks of the encounter. Cor
bett did not have a mark on him. His
lip had been cut on the inside, but it
was not puffed or swollen, and he was
apparently as good as when he steDoed
into the ring. The principals were hur
ried into their clothes, hustled out of
the arena and into carriages aud taken
to their down-town quarters.
After the Fight.
After the battle Corbett was driven
to his hotel, where he received an ova
tion. The champion denies the charge
that he attempted foul tactics, lie de
clares that when he delivered the blows
which were claimed to be foul his an
tagonist had his knees oil the floor, and
a man in that position is up under the
Queensberry rules. Mitchell, o-fter the
battle, said that he was fairly whipped,
and praised the prowess of his victor.
He declares that his fighting days are
over.
Both Men Arrented.
Soon after the return of Mitchell to
the Everett house and of Corbett to
the St. James hotel both were arrested
on warrants charging them with hav
ing committed the olfense of fighting
by agreement. The men were both
taken to the courthouse, wheVe their
bail was fixed at $5,000 each. Bonds
