Victor McLaglen fought without result Phil Schlossberg by NC in round 5 of 10
- Date: 1908-05-28
- Location: Glide Rink, Tacoma, Washington, USA
- Referee: Mark Shaughnessy
Often incorrectly recorded as a TKO for Schlossberg. Referee Shaughnessy ruled "no contest" after McLaglen's second, "Longshoreman" Bill Burke, accidently spilled a bottle of ammonia on his fighter's face during the rest period between the fourth and fifth rounds. McLaglen immediately jumped up in great agony, frothing at the mouth, and unable to breathe. He was taken to his dressing room where a physician gave him a glass of milk, which revived him some. He couldn't leave the rink until midnight, when he returned to his home at 1133 South E Street, where he was confined to bed for awhile. Battling Nelson reportedly was ringside. McLaglen's fourth career bout. Tacoma Daily News.
