Clipped from two issues of the Los Angeles Herald....Pete Everett put up a valiant effort but Gus Ruhlin proved too strong for him this time...Lionel Butler was scheduled to box Kid McCoy at Brown's Arena in Flatbush but McCoy pulled out with an injury and Young Peter Jackson stepped in...Butler seemed strangely confused by Jackson's clever defence and failed to make use of his greater strength and weight on the inside much to the displeasure of the punters at ringside who wagered heavily on him...The loss will be a major setback for Butler as Jackson was not ranked highly by the IBU...At Mechanics Pavilion Billie Roche stopped the six round fight between Tom Sharkey and Joe Choynski because of a severe gash on Choynski's head and awarded the win to Sharkey who seemed ahead at the time of the stoppage...Bob Fitzsimmons' manager Martin Julian has lodged an official protest with the Winnipeg Boxing Commission claiming Referee Joe Francis allowed Joe Goddard to use illegal tactics in their championship contest last week including low blows and use of his head inside....
