He was knocked to the floor by James J. Jeffries and counted out after ho had so badly punished the champion that it was a foregone con clusion among the spectators that tho Cornishman must win. Bleeding from a number of gashes In the face, apparently weakening, and clearly unable to cope with Fitzsim mons' superior skill, Jeffries delivered two lucky punches as Fitzsimmons paused in his fighting to speak to him, and turned tho tide. The battle was brief but noteworthy and will live in pugilistic history. Fitzsimmons tried once to arise from the mat but tank down again helpless and heard himself counted out where but a moment before he had apparently all the better of It. Land For National Reservoir.
