Article from the Los Angeles Herald....Jim Jeffries returns from the East and takes on tough Joe Kennedy at Woodward's Pavilion....The fight lasts two and a half minutes and has every last customer on his feet as the two big men elect to slug it out at ring centre....Kennedy staggers Jeffries with a terrific uppercut but the big Californian shrugs it off and lands big shots to the Irishman's body and neck...Winding up a hay-maker Kennedy cops a dynamite right on the jaw that sends him down and out at the feet of Referee Ed Graney...In the preliminaries Frisco boy Jim Jeffords stops Frank Mahan of Chicago in 5 and Jeffries' brother Jack draws in three with Joe Dineen the Brooklyn tavern brawler....Gus Ruhlin signs to meet Peter Maher at the Mission Street Arena for ten rounds with six ounce gloves...
