Doing some more looking around the early 1935 dates and the April papers covering the McGowan vs Troiano meeting, I ran across one that I somehow missed before.
FRi April 19, 1935 in The News, Paterson, New Jersey - They ran a short account of the McGowan vs Troiano fight. Thi writer of the article says their paper got word from Portland, Maine, about Troiano from Portland outpointing Mike McGowan of Cambridge, Massachussetts. This short account ends with the following...."The name McGowan may not mean much to you, but perhaps you'll recall the monicker he fought under, Prince Alexander." The alias BoxRec notes with this Mike McGowan, ID 124653!
So, change the Troiano BoxRec file to show that Mike McGovern bout on 4/12 be with this Mike McGowan and then add the Troiano fight to this McGowan record. Based on that, I'm going to redo that Mike McGowan I did with the Prince Alexander fighter!
