Pocket Boxers
Two sports are seen drinking beer and arguing as to the qualities of certain prize fighters. They make a bet, and to prove it, each pulls his favorite pugilist from his pocket, and they set them on the table. A hot battle ensues, in which one of the midgets is knocked out. The sport whose favorite won the fight takes the money with a look of satisfaction, and replaces his man in his pocket. The loser looks very much disgusted as he picks up his man and puts him back in his pocket. Very mystifying.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its fantastical premise with deadpan seriousness, relying on a simple trick shot. It explores male rivalry and gambling, reducing them to a miniature, almost toy-like spectacle.
What lingers after the knockout is a charmingly bizarre snapshot of early cinematic magic. A quick, amusing novelty that turns a pocket into a portal — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Walter R. Booth

With a drink in hand, like the characters, to lean into the absurd wager.
