TALKING IT OVER BY JOE WILLIAMS
MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 28.—Th* chief technical trouble with Mr. Phil : Scott seems to be that he can not I take It !n the body. Any sort of | blow in the region of the waist line ' causes him to cringe. His physical ! and nervous organism is not at- | timed to this sort of punishment. 1 In his bout Thursday night with Mr. Sharkey he stopped a series of ; rather stiff punches to the jaw | without folding, although he did go 1 down for a count in the first round ; from a left hook to the face. B B B Mr. Srntt hu a!wavs fsnnd bodr pnnrh KtiprrmrlT 6Uta*t,fol and record Is r*olet* with bewilderlnr Inrldent* where ' hr wrrawled U the canvas after stopping punches of this character. It will be remembered that hr wealhei a tornado of brad punches in hi* American debut against Knute Hansen before surrenderi ine. but that when he faced Otto Von Porat In a later bout he resigned the Instant his thlrh waa caressed with a awish- ; ing blow that had already spent Its furs before It touched the Britisher's panties. ann SCOTT appears handicapped with what might be called a glass | stomach and in this respect he is a 1 curiosity, as well a.s a nuisance. There are not a great many fighters l of any type who delight in being j soaked soundly in the short ribs and ■ applesauce, but Mr. Scott’s inadequacy in this connection verges on |i he extraordinary. BBS It seems that the modern British heary- | weight runs to glass eomnonents In one war or another. Bombardier Wells, a $ former bolder of the Kngllsh cauliflower i crown, was a splendid boxer —a murb betiter boxer than Mr. Scott—but there was .more glass In his .taw than In a Woolf, worth Jewelry display. 9 a a i Like Mr. Scott, any time a punch barely grazed Wells' chill lie prompUy went Into a beautiful swoon and resorted to dramatics of a most fantastic nature and •also like Mr. Scott the only doubt ever {involved about his ring appearances was jthe direction in which he would fall and I the number of attendants that would bp required to drag hla quivering carcass i across the ring. a a a nnHE announcing Jast night was 1- done by Mr. Joseph Humphries, <the celebrated cauliflower contralto |of the roaring forties. It was Mr. Humphries’ first adventure in thfl j semi-tropics. “The only thing I don't like about this part of the country,” moaned Mr. Humphries, “is that It. is too far away from Broadway.” a a a Mr. George Herman Rnth and the misses sat In she first row beaming in glaring •oats of tan and other Interesting sartorial effects. Mr. Ruth professed to hare I nothing more than an academic Interest 1 in what was hilled as the main bout. “I’d ! rather sec Art Shirrs and Lena Blaek- ? burne swing fists in the dugout," he adj raitted. This crack did not seem to fit well t with the missus and she remonstrated that ?he sbonld be himself. To his interviewers lit seemed that he was all of that. a a a ? Mr. Knute Rockne, who is known In a | vague sort of way as a football coach in some section of Indiana was also a down ! front pew holder. In his younger days Mr. Rockne used to throw the leather | himself. "The best thing I like about the iuame.” he said, "was the rest between ; rounds.” which reminds your correspondjent that the best thing some of Mr. Rockj lie's football opponents like about his i Teams Is the rest, between halves.

Jack Sharkey now stands alone as the foremost heavyweight contender of the world, for he won Thursday night on technical knockout after two minutes and thirty-four seconds of fighting and a minute of frantic, furious argument and uncertainty in the third round. Crowd in Suspense During that minute, while Referee Lou Magnolia suspended the count and bent over the moaning, gesticulating Scott, with Johnston, the Englishman’s manager and second, shrieking in his ear, the throng held its breath, for it looked as though the virtual heavyweight championship of the world was going to sail the seas to Jolly Old England, whence it came. There had been some apprehension that Scott, victor six times previously in his career on fouls, would attempt to win at Miami by the same method. And with the very first savage body punch which put him down on one knee in the third round, Philip gazed agonizedly toward his corner for advice. They made Scott get up that time, and they made him keep on getting up every time Sharkey knocked him down, until finally he sagged on the ropes and wouldn’t get up any more. Never Any Doubt Sharkey carried the fight to Scott from the opening bell, and while Phil boxed fairly well and blocked numerous wild left swings to the head, there never was any doubt about the outcome, short though the bout was. The Englishman went down for a count of six in the second, and three times from body blows in the third before he finally gave up, sitting on one of the ropes bewilderedly wondering why his customary claim of foul was taking so long to receive recognition. It is true that Sharkey, in his eagerness to finish his man, landed dangerously low once or twice with left hooks, but the blows were not hard, not to be compared with those which caused Scott’s knees to cave in and his desire for further scrapping to fly away on the night breeze from the ocean. Jack Finishes It After the third knockdown in the third round, the referee invited Jimmy Johnston to come into the ring and see if his Englishman wanted any more. It took a full minute to persuade Scott to go on, but finally he did, under threat of disqualification, and then Sharkey finished the job In workmanlike fashion. What with Scott groveling and gesticulating and trying to claim a foul, and Jimmy Johnston howling his head off, it was a sorry exhibition, and the crowd of slightly more than 20,000 left, thoroughly disgusted. Most of the preliminary bouts in this widely advertised spectacle of a ton of tumbling heavyweights were quite as disappointing if not as messy. The entire show failed to live up to its promise, and the deficit which Madison Square Garden most certainly faces is only the promoters’ just reward.
