"SCOTTY" LOBES BOUT
BUT PLEA8E8 CROWD
Gives Hungarhn Champ a Strenuous
Rear at London
London, Ont., March 21 (Advertiser
Report). -Jack Corcoran, Toronto
wrestling promoter, has sent a lot of
grapplers into London from distant
parts In recent weeks to joust with
his handsome Hungarian champ, San -
dor Szabo, but he didn't need to go
any farther than (lxterlch last night
to find a lad who, although eventually
beaten, gave the ladles' favorite one
swell going-over. Old "Scotty" Mac-
Dougall, who hue lost the odd tooth
and handful of hair while travelling
up and down the grunt and groan
tralla, gave Szabo the busiest hour and
London fans the beat main bout they
hare had In some time, although the
Hungarian took the only tall in 31
minutes and 45 seconds with a double
armlock and slam. Szabo weighed
208. MacDougall 210.
MacDougall's tine display sent the
near -capacity crowd home in high good
good humor.
Before the main bout it was an-
nounced that the Ontario Athletic Oom-
mignon had reduced the time limit en
main bouts to one hour, and that this
would be in force for the Szabo -Mac-
Dougall tilt. Akhough the undefeated
Hungarian is very popular here,
a lot of the crowd was rooting for
old Scotty, the pride of Goderich.
MacDougall had the better of the
early tussling, and had Szabo tanning
into near -falls twice in the first seven
minutes while they battled speedily
but cleanly.
MacDougall often outdid the Hun-
garian when it came to teats of sheer
strength in breaking holds, but Szabo
wasn't slowing up at any stage, al-
though more thin once quite glad to
seek the shelter of the ropes.
An arm hold had MacDougall in
trouble about the 25 -minute mark, but

'Tribute to Sir Henry Thornton
The amides death of Sir Henry
Thornton at New York on Tuesday
afternoon was deeply regretted In tit.
lobbies here and Mr. Mackenzie King
paid a well-deserved tribute to Sir
/leery for his great work as C.N.R.
pre.Tden� Troth 1922 to 1932. "What
Sir Henry achieved in the period of
his administration of the National
Railways, Mr. King observed, "may
be obscured for the time being by the
existing depression and by politleal
controversy to which it has served to
give rise. As, however, the years ko
by, and all things fall Into their true
perspective, Sir Henry Thornton's
work In bringing the National Rail-
ways to the position which they at-
tained tinder his direction will stand
out as a supreme achievement in na-
Donal enterprise and public service."
