James J. Corbett was one of the most remarkable men ever to appear in the prize ring. He first won thu heavyweight championship In 1892, when the title changed hands for the first time for three years.
On that occasion ha defeated John .L. Sullivan in 21 rounds at New Or
teans, when big gloves were used.
Two years later he retained the title when he beat Charley Mitchell in three rounds at Jacksonville, but on Minreb 17, 1897, ho lost the heavy." weight crown. to Bob Fitzsimmons, the Cornish blacksmith, who beat him over 14 rounds at Carson City.
Corbett did not attempt a "came back" until six years later, when he -challenged James J. Jeffries, who had won the title from Bob Fitzsimmons In 1889. The
men fought at San Francisco on August 14, 1v03, Corbett being knocked out in the tenth round. This was Corbett's last fight, and
| subsequently he took to the stage, where he appeared in vaudeville for lie retired In 1925, many yeaTK. having made himself wealthy, and took up lecturing.
