A fist fight broke out here between followers of the Jewish soccer club ” Hakoah” and the Australian soccer team ” Hungarian, ” following a name in which ” Hakoah” emerged victorious. Seeing their team lose, some of the followers of ” Hungaria” shouted: “It’s a pity that Hitler did not finish all you Jews.” This precipitated an exchange of blows, which was halted by the police.
