Von Porat v. Scott

Thoughtfully picking his nose, Referee Jack Dempsey stood in the corner of a ring in Madison Square Garden while the announcer introduced two fighters. In this corner lantern-jawed Otto von Porat, Norwegian white hope. In this corner Philip Scott, onetime London fireman. The announcer withdrew. Von Porat, Scott, boxed clumsily for a round. In the second round von Porat hit the more agile Scott in the groin. Referee Dempsey helped Scott up and declared him the winner. From the ringside a reporter for the Norway Post, telephoning the sad news to his editor in Oslo, added the suggestion that the men will doubtless be matched again before one of them is picked to meet Schmeling or Sharkey.
