Otey Survives Subway Swarm to Reach Fight Site
Fight correspondent recounts a chaotic subway ride toward the big bout. Otey Walker fights through crowds and confusion, unsure if he will reach the arena as reports from observers favor Sharkey in the anticipated matchup.
Fighters Fit and Ready On Eve of Title Bout
On the eve of the title fight Sharkey, the Bostonian, appears in good shape and in the proper frame of mind. He has been seen at a friend’s home on the Grand Concourse overlooking Yankee Stadium and attended the afternoon game between the Pirates and Giants at the Polo Grounds. Schmeling, arriving from Endicott by train, played poker with handlers, while Max kept winning as the train halted for eggs and coffee. The German camp wore a grave, tense look as photographers clamored, but Sharkey remained unfazed and seemingly indifferent to the crowd.
