MY STORYofMY LIFE
By James J. Jeffries
HEAVY WEIGHTCHAMPION OF THE WORLD
CHAPTER XI.IX.
My Second Fight With Jim Corbett.
We bad more ftiu nt Harbin Springs
just beforo my training was finished.
Eddie Grauey, who was to referee the
fight with Corbett, came to talk over
the rules and make sure that every
thing was understood before wo got
into the ring. Eddie was going to stay
over Sunday, but a telegram called him
back to Sau Francisco. The stage had
gone, so Jim Hayes got him a private
rig. Jim Coffroth was at the Springs
too and volunteered to drive in to Cal
istoga with him.
This gave me a chance to pull oAt a
joke that would throw everything else
iin the shade. In my trunk I had some
I of the costumes I had worn in “The
(Man From the West.” I got them out
। in a hurry and called in Andy Gorman,
' the policeman. Iu a few minutes we
‘were dressed up in frontier fashion,
had jumped on a couple of horses and
were galloping down the road. About
two miles out we came to a good dark
piece where the trees shaded the road.
It was a dark night anyway.
In a few minutes we could hear the
rig coming along at a good rate. Just
as they reacheel us we yelled “hands
I up!” and rode out from the trees, wav
ing our guns.
Now Eddie Grauey had just $5OOO in
his clothes, the same being Corbett’s
and my forfeit money. Without taking
n second look he dropped the reins ano
went out the opposite side of the rig
like a man making a high dive. He
legged it for the woods as hard as be
could go. The team reared trp and
went off on the run. At the same mo
ment Andy and I began to laugh. Gra
ney stopped and yelled: “Catch the
horses; Jim can’t drive!” So I gal
loped after the rig. It came near be
ing a serious joke after al), for the
lines were under the horses’ feet, and
it was just pure luck that they stayed
on the road for two or three miles un
til I caught up and stopped them.
I came down from Harbin for the
Corbett fight in great shape. Although
I weighed more than iu my other ring
affairs I was bard and strong and fast.
I spent the day before the fight in Oak
land, as Usual, and visited the Reliance
club. The fight wasn't worrying me
at all. I knew that Tommy Ryan was
in Corbett’s camp, but I knew ha
couldn’t show Corbett anything he
didn’t already know. They told me Cor
bett was heavier and stronger than
ever before, and was bitting hard, but
I like hard hitters.
On the evening of the fight I went
over to the Mechanics' pavilion with
Delaney and Jack and Bob Fitzsim
mons and Joe Kennedy. I stepped into
the ring first, and when Corbett follow
ed me a moment later he got a great
cheer from the crowd. The pavilion
was packed to the roof that night.
Ryan was Corbett’s chief second. I
went across the ring and watched the
bandages being put on Corbett's hands.
Then we stood up while the photogra
phers fired their flashlights and snap
ped us. And then the fight began.
I didn't use the crouch any more. My
plan was to meet Corbett at bis own
game and use speed against speed, and
there isn’t much speed in a crouching
position. I stood straight tip and went
after Corbett as fast as I could. Wo
feinted a moment and then 1 landed my
left on his ribs. J could see that my
change of style puzzled him and lie
didn't understand my speed. He bad
counted upon being able to dauce in
and out and al] around me. He jabbed
me and I chased him to the ropes and
slammed my right in over his heart be
fore he could clinch. Corbett looked
surprised.
In the neat round Jim put some good
hard punches on my chin. I rushed him
off his feet and punched his body with
my left so hard that he fell trp against
me and'clinched. His face was white
and for a moment he was weak. I know
T had him beaten. I might have cut
loose then and ended the fight, but it
seemed a shame to disappoint the
crowd. I gave him a chance to recover.
I must say that Corbett is a game
fellow. He didn't try to keep away
from me. but stood up and fought. Ha
told me afterward that my body blows 1
took the speed out of his legs. How
ever that may have been I didn’t have
much trouble in keeping close to him.
Now and then he tried to get away. I’d
chase him to the ropes and when Ite
tried to sidestep as he did in Coney
Island lie always found mo in front >f
him. The only tiling he could do was
jump into a clinch, and this usually

meant nt least one punch beforo he
could grab me.
In the fourth rouud I hit Corbett on
the jaw and burst my glove. The blow
was high or it might have been a fin
islier. Later iu the round I dropped
him with a left in the body. He got
up laughing and ran to his corner when
thh bell rang. Then in the next round
after Corbett had landed two or three
good lefts and rights I slipped the right
into his stomaeh. He was nearly done
for. I swung two or three to his head
and when he was blocking high ham
mered him back to the ropes. He had
trouble iu lasting out the round. In
the next one he went down to bis knees
from a body blow and took a nine
second count. In the seventh Jim was
hanging on. He was desperate. “You
can’t knock me out,” he yelled. He
caught me some hard pokes.
I thought Corltett was all iu now. but
to my surprise lie made a great rally.
As I went after him he stepped in and
hooked his right to my solar plexus.
In a second he hooked it again to my
chin, shoving me back on my heels.
Then he sidestepped a little and hooked
his left to the other side of my jaw
so hard that my head was thrown back
against my shoulder blades. As I bob
-1 bed back T could see an expectant look
in Corbett’s eye. as if he thought I was
going to drop Fpist lowered my head
and plunged, straight at him. When I
took another' look Corbett was pale and
grim. He ha<l tried his best blows, ha I
landed them fairly, and hadn't hurt me.
' He knew then that he had no chance.
From that time on Corbett went in to
fight until he was knocked out. He
told me months afterward that he gave
up all idea of winning then, and only
hoped that when the knockout came it
would be a clean one, so that no one
could ever say he had quit.
He surely did stand up and fight. AH
of his old-time cleverness was there,
and he landed many a good puueh
where it should have done damage. But
I was strong and he was weakening
fast. In the ninth he made a great
tally and uppercut and jabbed me, au I
sent several spiteful punches into my
i ribs, and kept tilting my bead back
i with his left. He was going along fine
| and the crowd was yelling its head off
; for the old ’Frisco boy. when, just at
■ the end of the round, I hooked my left
i into his body hard. As Corbett turned
to his corner this time his legs seen:e I
heavy and his feet dragged. I knew I
had him.
Over in my own corner Fitzsimmons
was begging me to go out and end the
fight. Bob was sore because Corbett
had already gone nine rounds, while I
bad put Bob out in eight. That was a
little joke on Bob.
When the bell rang I turned to Billy
Delaney and laughed and gave mm a
wink. “Here goes.” I said.
I went right after Corbett. He knew
the end was near now. but he was
game. As I jumped in he clinched.
I Again he clinched and I couldn't get
I in a good blow.
At the next rush F whipped my left
[into Jim’s body and he went down for
nine seconds. He got up and 1 stood
I well back and gave him plenty of time.
Again I dropped him with a left in the
solar plexus. He doubled over forward
and fell on his face, but pulled up to
his knees. He looked just the way he
did at Carson after being dropped by
Fitzsimmons, and T thought it was ail
over. But be got up, crossed his arms
to block the next blow, and tried to
conic into a clinch. This time I struck
lightly with the left and carefully
measured a right that hit just at the
angle of the ribs. Corbett’s mouth
opened and he sat down heavily and
leaned forward. This time he couldn't
get up.
Tommy Ryan threw in the sponge,
but there was no need for it. Jim was
counted out. Then they brought his
chair to the middle of the ring and
lifted him into it. He sat there for n
few minutes before the paralyzing ef
fect of the last blow wore off and then
stood up. T walked over and shook
hands with him. Ever since that day
Jim Corbett and I have been the best
of friends. He acknowledged that he
had no chance to defeat me and retired
from the ring.
He turned all of his to the
stage, and has been i en< successful.
Whenever we meet it is to talk over
old times. T did some stage work my
self after that, but never cared quite
as much for it as Jim Corbett does.
Fighting is more my game. I got $32.-
728 for my fight with Corbett. That's
over $l3OO a round. It beats stage
work.
