Carson, March 17. ? After two I years of do M and Tcxatious post-1 ponemont, tlio heavyweight chani-j pionsbip of tho world was decided beyond cavil, when Kohert Fitzsiniruons sent James .1 Corhctt helpless to his knees, with a left > hand blow under the heart, after i *>no minute and 4,"> seconds, in tliel fourteenth round of their battle j in the ureua here this afternoon. , TL - i in* great contest was won in llie ' simplest manner, and the knock-1 ont whs the ro>ult of one unwary i tuovc on the part of Corbett. Af ler the first minute of the four- j tecuth round had boen spent in a few harmless clinches and counters, Fit'/.siminous made a fake I lead with his right for the jaw. 1 3l was a simple ruse, but it caught the Califoruian napping. Instead of keeping his body inclined for.' \??ard, nnd throwing back his bond ju<*t h trilU: to allow the blow, *. **ivhich was of tbo vary lightest, ' /id, 1o slip bv, Corhott couteinp lusly bent his head aud chest .srd and thus protruded his w1/:, >1 ... .? < ?i. i iia a.iiHii rvrs IlJlSIibrbi like lightning he sow and \tiled himself of his advantage, .living hack his left, he brought with terrible force, the fore * rigid ami at right singles to J* ppcr nrm. With the full -iVer of his wonderful driving muscles brought into plav, the Australian fairly ripj>cd the blowup the pit of Corhett's stomach, i at a point just lielow the heart, t'orbott was lifted clean off his feet, and as he pitched forward, ; Fit/, shot his right upaed around, j catching Jim on the jaw and ac- ! cole rating his downward full. { Cort>ett sand on his left knee, ami with his ontstrctchod right grasp- j ?d the rope fpr sup|>ort. His left nrra worked convulsively up ami down, while hit) face was twitching with an expression of the greatest agony. Ueferee Siler threw up his hands on the call of ten, and left the ring. There were some t cries of "foul," when the referee declared Corbett out, but they were unheeded by anybody, an the battle was won fairly an 1 squarely. The defeat nearly drove Corbett wild. When he was able to feel his feet, after his seconds had hel|>cd him to his corner, he broke away from them and rushed at Kit'/,, who had not left the iieg. A scene of confusion followed. The ring was crowded with an excited mob, but Corbett burst through them and struck at Fitz. The Australian kept his arms at hie side, end with a great dee! of generosity, made allowance for < orhett'e half demented condition. Bob merely duoked uader the blow And when Corbett clinched with him and etruek him a feeble blow am the ear the champion only aniled. It was with great diffi enlty that Billy Brady and the seconds succeeded in quieti Corbett?lt>nt11 ami .getting hi.n his dressing room. The fight was el can uml speed It demonstrated two facts?tl Corbett is the cleverest boxer his weight in the world, and th Fit/, is aide to hit him. The Cn format) smothered the Comb man with left jabs in the face :u right and left body blows. Kit most effect ire attack was a sen fnko left swing, delivered with quick, half-arm hook. The lit time he tried it, which was in t third round, .1 im threw hack 1 head for the fuke. coming forwa for a counter when he thong Fit/.'s glove was comfortably pr his jaw. Qui?k as a Hash F.< doubled hack and barely miss Tim's jaw with a hook. Corbetl smile died awav for tin instar ami he took no more chances < countering on that particular for of load afterward. Fit/, started n dance of victo whan he saw his opponent dow lie waved a little Ihig over 1 hand and stepped lightly down t adder aad into the arms of hi wife, who sat awaiting him in box right behind his chuir. Mrs Fit/, kis^ud her huslmm face, taking no notice of the blo< which was trinkling freely frc his nose and mouth. Martin J ban headed the procession to t dressing room, followed bv Fit with Mrs Fitz at liis side, t crowd cheering the > ictor hcartil IT WAS A HA IK FIUIIT?WHAT FIT SAY8 AHOl'T IT.

He did get in 01 good upoor-cut in the four round, splitting Bob's under li and starting the blood in a thii stream. Several times the mi clinched and parted with ho hands up. Frequently Bob wor ed Jim into a corner and reaehi for him light and left with blot that would win any championsh battle had they landed. Fitz hii self admits that Corbett shullh and side-stepped his way to safe in a way that simply dazed hit "1 never saw such a clever mi in mylifo," said Fitz this evenii "Ho got awar from me time ni time ngnin when I thought I hi him dead to riirhts. I knew could wear hi in out, nnd I ke coming right along until my o portunity arrived.
