Jeffries Defeated Corbett at
Coney Island.
FINISH IN TWENTY-THIRD ROUND
The Cleverest of Great IUnj-r Battles
Credit for the "Victor and
t
tkc Vanquished.
SEASIDE CLUB, Coney Island, May 1L
In the fastest, prettiest and closest
heavy-weight ting battle ever fought in
New York, James J. Jeffries has reaf
firmed his right to the championship. In
the arena of the Seaside Sporting Club
tonight he decisively defeated Jim Cor
bett, once champion of the world himself,
after 23 rounds of scientific fighting. It
was a clean knock-out, that came so
quickly that it dazed the thousands of
keen, alert, intent spectators and left
them In doubt as to just how the win
ning blow v. as delivered. It was avowed
that It Was a left-hand Jolt to the jaw,
but Jeffries himself and Referee Charley
TVhlte, v. ho stood at his side, say it was a
right-hand swing.
There is credit for the victor and credit
for the vanquished in this cleverest of
ring battles. Jeffries must be awarded
the laurels of victory, yet his opponent
is entitled to all honor tor his most won
derful fight. That feature of the contest
stands out in relief as the most striking
one of the battle.
Corbett emerged from a year's retire
ment from the ring, rejuvenated and
fresh. He was fast and clever as back in
the days when people marveled at his
bkllL His foot work was "wonderful and
his defense perfect. He outboxed his man
at both long and short range, and If ho
had had the strength necessary, would"
would have ended him Just as. did the
times he ducked under left swings that
would have endcdhl.m Just as did the
punch that knocked him out. At times
he made the massive Jim look like a be
ginner In the art of offense and defense
with the hands. His strategy was to jab
and get away, and when Jeffries stood
over his quivering form, his face showed
the marks of the punishment that be had
Inflicted. Corbett went down to a defeat
that was regretted by the vast majority
of the men who filled the hall. The
money was against him, but he had a
wealth of sympathy. It was probably his
natural heritage, as the shcrt-ender, but
after the battle began ho -non more sup
port by his display of speed and skill.
Jeffs Strength "Won.
Jeffries won with his strength, with the
strength that lies In the power of massive
muscle and the strength that is the es
sence of vitality. He made the pace for
most of the distance, andi at the end was
still strong and effective. At first glance
the battle may seem to detract a trifle
from his reputation, for It showed a fast
mancouldreachhim and get away without
a return. If that fighter of the future
happens to be strong and rugged In addi
tion to being fast, he will take the honors
of the man who tonight left the ring ex
ultant in victory.
The pace was one that would have told
against any man not perfectly prepared.
By the 17th round, Jeffries, maddened by
the danger of marring his reputation,
began a serlos of desperate rushes, in
which he mixed It fiercely with Corbett
At the 20th round It looked as if Corbett
would stay the limit, and popular judg
ment awarded him a victory. He had
up to that time avoided any serious pun
ishment. His face was unmarked, and
the scratches on his shoulders and arms
were more the result of clinches than
blows. His defense was still perfect, and
he was smiling and confident. He either
side-stepped from Jeffries terrible rushes
or ducked Into clinches. Jeffries was.
hammering away, however, and was
fitrcng and game.
The end came with the suddenness of a
shock. The men had had two fierce ral
lies, followed each time by long-range
sparring, and were In together again.
Tho were both fighting fast and hard.
Suddenly there was a report of a sharp
blow, and- Corbett dropped. It needed no
count to tell that Corbett's hopes for the
championship were again in ain. Tho
excited spectators sprang to their feet,
and for a momdnt there were roars and
calls. The confusion was but momentary,
however, and in a silence that was most
remarkable the fallen fighter was car
ried to his corner. Some one called for
cheers for Jeffries, but the almost sullen
crowd refused to give them. Then a mo
ment later, when a friend of Corbett put
the question, a thousand re-echoed a kind
ly response. It was In the corner of the
defeated man, too, that the crowd gath
ered, and there w ere more solicitous offers
of aid for him than there were congrat
ulations for the man who had defeated
him. It was but natural, however, for
Corbett had made a showing that enti
tled him to that consideration. His skill
iad made It the best fight they had ever
seen, and their hopes had been with him
from the moment the battle shaped Itself.

he came back quickly with his right to the
body. Then a right and left from Jeffries
to the head Jarred Corbett. Jeffries fol
lowed up with another terifBc left on
the neck, and Corbett was very tired
when the bell rang.
Round 5 Corbett resumed the contest
with evident relish, but he was very
anxious meanwhile. Jeffries got at him
at close quarters with a light left to the
body, and Corbett failed to reply- Cor
hett feinted with his right, but Jeffries
called the bluff and hooked his left to
the body. Corbett sparred cleverly, send
ing his left to the body and after a Lttle
j-hlfty work, hooked his left twice to the
head. Jeffries attempted a left hook for
the Jaw, but Corbett ducked It and sent
another left to the jaw. Jeffries then
crowded In and rushed Co-belt to tho
ropes, putting a left hard to the body
Jeffries forced the fighting, and sent his
left lo the face and body with telling- ef
fect, just before the bell sounded.
Round 6 Corbett sprang to the cen
ter of the ring, but Jeffries was
ready for him. "Don't let him ret set,"
said George Consldine. "Watch him, Jim:
he can't hit you In a week." A second
later Jeffries led a straight Wt to the
face. Corbett made an IneffecMuil try fot

the honors In Jeffries' favor, and Cor
bett was compelled to shift continually

fries hooked his left to the neck and
rushed Corbett to the ropes. Corbett came
back quickly, and they clinched twice, do
lne no lntaries: Jeffries made a bull rush,
sending his left to the body and his right
to the head, putting Corbett to the ropes
and staggering him. Jeffries crowded in
and forced the pace, which was evidently
too hot for Corbett, and the bell sounded
none too soon.
Round 14 Both were fast In answering,
the gong, each leading lefts, but they
failed to land, and a clinch followed. In
a breakaway Corbett tried to send his
right over, but Jeffries dodged It. Thn
Corbett cent two straight lefts to tho
mouth and Jeffries responded with hard
lefts to the body. Jeffries sent a backhand
left smash on Corbett's face, and Corbett
retaliated with a straight left to tho nose.
Jeffries bled freely from the nose, and
Corbett sent two more lefts to that or
gan Corbett had the call at the end of
the round.
Round 15 Corbett was the aggressor,
sending his left twice to the face. Jeffries
rushed, driving a plledrKing right for the
body, which Corbett blocked cleverly.
Then Corbett hooked his left to the neck

Most Orderly Affair Under the Hor-
ton Law.
CONEY ISLAND, May 11. It is Im
probable that there was ever a more or
derly affair under the Horton law. Thero
was order In the assembling and handling
of the great crowd, and order in the con
test. "When Corbett had saved tho 10-round
money there was a change In the senti
ment toward him, and the men who had
their money on Jeffries to win began to
be somewhat dubious. Jeffries was grim
and resolute, arid kept at his man. Here
was youth and strength with a fair meas
ure, of skill pitted against the master of
tho sport There were cries that youth
Would win, but tho partisans of the man
who possessed it had their grave doubts.

understood Referee White got $500 for his
night's work, Jeffries and Corbett con
tributing $250 each.
When White climbed through the ropes
he was greeted with tumultuous applause.
He Immediately went to Corbett's corner
and examined Corbett's hands, making
Corbett take off his gloves which he had
donned. Corbett had light bandages on
both hands, and he walked over to Jef
fries' corner. Jeffries objected to the
thickness of the bandages, and by mutual
consent Corbett took one layer from his
left hand.
The preliminary bout between Kid

"What Corbett and Jeffries Had, to
Say of It.
CONEY ISLAND. May 1L "What Is the
use of talking now?" said Corbett, when
seen In his dressing-room after the bat
tle. "I lost and, although I don't know
how It happened. I guess It was all right
I fought my best and felt good until the
punch came that ended my aspirations
for the time being, but I think I proved
myself not altogether a dead one."
Jeffries was very reticent He said:
"Corbett gave me the best fight or my
career, and was really a surprise. 1
thought I should have whipped him
sooner, and I think that I would have, had
my left arm not given out early in the
fight"

De Quincey seems to have had the occu

TRANSPORTATION OF TROOPS.
"Why the Railroad Pooling; Agree
ment Failed.
CHICAGO, May 1L At the meeting of
the Western Passenger Association today
it was demonstrated that the pooling plan
entered Into for the purpose of compelling
the Government to pay excessive rates for
the transportation of troops had utterly
failed In Its general purpose, and had
been taken advantage of by certain lines
to reap a nice harvest for themselves. The
fact was brought out that some ot the
roads had Ignored the pooling agreement
and had secretly offered the Government
low rates, and had-received their pay ac
cording to contract Despite these revela
tions, a proposition was made that a new
pooling agreement be entered into, but
after working for several hours the coip
mlttee announced that it was unable to
agree. As a result, each road will offer Its
own bid to the Government.

WASHINGTON, May 11. The War De
partment has made public a report from
Brigadier-General Wheaton, U. S. A., con
cerning tho operations of an expedition
led by him early In January Into the coun
try stretching south from Manila to Lake
Taal. His forces, consisting of the
Fourth, Twenty-eighth, Thirty-eighth,
Forty-ftfth and Companies D and H of
the Thirty-seventh Infantry and detach
ments of the Third and Fourth Artillery,
concentrated at Imus and one mile south
of that point.
On the 7th of the month the first en
gagement occurred. In which Lieutenant
Ward Cheney was mortally wounded while
leading a detachment against the enemy,
500 strong. The American loss was two
privates killed and one wounded, while
the Insurgents lost 50 killed and wounded.
On this day Colonel Birkheimer, with a
dotachment of the Twenty-eighth Infantry
and Captain Reillylh command of a sec
tion of the Fifth Artillery, engaged the,
enemy at Putol, where the Insurgents'
were routed with great slaughter, 74 bodt
ies being counted In one portion of the
battle-field. Our loss was 11 men wound-,
ed.
Still another sharp engagement occurred
on the 7th. when Major Taggart, with
tho Second and Third battalions of the
Twenty-eighth Infantry, attacked a force
of Insurgents estimated at 1000 strong
near Imuf, driving- them from the field,
killing 60 and wounding more than SO.
Major Taggart had one man killed and six
wounded. Lake Taal was reached on the
10th, and several ellght skirmishes occurred
on the northern and eastern shores.
On the ISth Major W. H. Johnstorj, witb
three companies ot the Forty-sixth In
fantry, met the enemy at Lemering, 03
strone. with four cannon, and drove them
across the river to Taal. On the 20th he
was reinforced by three companies sent
from Batartgas by Colonel Anderson, Thirty-eighth
Infantry, and attacked and car.
ried Taal, dispersing the Insurgents and
capturing their cannon.
Colonel Dorst. with a battalion of the
Forty-fifth Infantry and a squadron ot
the Eleventh Cavalry, was ordered on the
24th to clear the country around Lemery,
and he was engaged upon that duty when
this report was forwarded. The whole
