SCOTT OUTCLASSED

KNOCK-OUT IN THIRD ROUND

CLAIM FOR FOUL

Uuited Press Association—By Electric Telegraph- Copyright. NEW YORK, 27th February In a preliminary to the Scott-Shar-key contest, Maloney (1981b) and Bouquillon (1851b) opened slowly. The frenchman staggered Maloney in the third round with an overhand right to the jaw. They meandered uninterestingly along, their awkwardness making it a sorry exhibition. The Frenchman's left eye closed from Maloney's jabs. In the sixth round he was very tired, and a better man than Maloney mjght have finished him at any time. The Frenchman was a bloody mess, : with his face in ribbons in the ninth round, and he was helpless in the tenth, but the American could only gain the decision. HARD-FOUaHT DRAW. Campolo (2261b) v. Eisko (1951b). Campolo, with a right to the back of his head, knocked Eisko to his knees in the first round. The Argentinian's great height was an advantage, but the American was fighting furiously. They mixed it sharply. Risko took the second and third rounds. The fourth was even, but Kisko showed up well. Campolo • was mixing it and driving his opponent before him. In the fifth the Argentinian nearly lifted. Kisko with body blows. The sixth, seventh, and eighth rounds were Eisko's, hard right and left'hooka to the body and head giving him the advantage. Campolo-'s left eye was badly swollen. Eisko sent the Argentinian to the ropes in the eighth with a left to the stomach, and staggered him with rights and lefts to the jaw. TJie" Argentinian shook his head from the blows. Campolo did little fighting in the ninth, Eisko chopping his blows Ko the body. at. close, quarters. Campolo in the tenth hammered Eisko's head hard, with rights, and forced the fighting, compelling the American to hold on. Kisko was badly tired, and was taking punishment at the bell. The bout was a draw. SHARKEY ALL THE WAY. Sharkey (1971b) won from Scott (2051b), on a technical knockout in the third round. In the first rouird Scott clinched and backed away, as Sharkey landed terrific rights to the body. and head, driving the Englishman to the ropes. Scott parried more or less successfully towards the end of the round, which was Sharkey's. The American forced Scott to his knees in his own corner for the count of six in the second round, employing a shower of blows which pushed rather than knocked his opponent down. Scott rose and boxed well, landing a right uppercut to the body. Scott was bleeding from the nose. Sharkey's round. In the third'round Scott swung the American half-way through the ropes with blows from both hands, and then landed several times on the jaw. Sharkey flew at his opponent, sending him down on one knee for the count of three, with a left to the body. The American was warned for hitting low, but dropped Scott with another left to the body. The Englishman rolled over, his manager stepping into the ring. There was immediately great confusion. The referee reserved his decision and examined Scott, who apparently was in distress. He was taken to his corner, and tried to get up, but from his grimacing he appeared to be in pain. The referee motioned the fighters to continue, and the seconds left the ring. Scott tried to hang on to Sharkey, but Jack sent a left to the body, followed by another, which caused the Englishman to sag and go down against the ropes. While the count was stopped for nearly a minute, the referee examined Scott. He then declared that Scott must go on. Scott made a vain effort to put up his' guard, but a few seconds after the end came ■with a left hook to the body, delivered by Sharky, causing Scott to crumble against the ropes.' The referee stepped between the fighters. Sharkey backed away, and the referee raised the American's hand as a token that he was the winner. Later the referee issued a statement that at no time had any of Sharkey's blows been low. "I told Scott he had been hit fairly, and must continue or be disqualified."
