	~~A minute into the bout~~, ~~Norton attempted to step away from a corner~~, and was caught off balance by a left hook that knocked him down. Norton took a nine count. Dempsey charged after Norton, drove him into a corner, and then shot out a left hand, followed by a right hand, that put Norton down for the ten count.		'''From The ''Oakland Tribune'', August 2, 1917:'''

	~~Attendance: "Poor"~~		Jack Dempsey cut short a tiresome evening at Emeryville arena by knocking out Al Norton in the first round of their main event encounter. The fight was a good one while it lasted, but after only a minute of the entertainment, Norton tried to side step out of a corner and was caught off his balance by a left hook. Though not badly hurt, Norton took the count of nine, and arose with caution. When the fighters went to it again, Dempsey started rushing tactics again and after getting Norton in a corner, he planted a left on his face. Norton was unable to cover in time and a right hook caught him squarely on the chin, putting him down for the count. The knockout brought the crowd to its feet, and everyone started for the door with something to talk about besides the previous bouts or the card. The bouts which led up to the main event were not exactly thrillers and the small crowd on hand was not in the humor to receive them well. ... The crowd was very poor for the class of the card offered.
