"Potty" Lucky To Draw Parker sinks a hard one to the South African Giant's body. Ewart Potgieter, the seven-foot-two South African heavyweight now boxing in England, was lucky to get away with a draw last night in his match at Harringay against Canada's James J. Parker. Parker seemed to gain points in round after round, with lefts and rights to the body and head. But Potgieter seemed unaffected and the referee called it a draw. Many spectators felt "Potty" lucky to be able to called himself "undefeated in 10 professional bouts" and that he needs much more experience and training before trying to wake on better fighters that he has done so far.
