Excerpt from The Coaltown Gazette....Vancouver boy Ross Delaney, now fighting out of Toronto, takes on Alberta's favourite son George McRay at Mutual Street Arena and nullifies the latter's shifty footwork with steady pressure and body punching, putting the Westerner down three times for nine counts and easily taking the decision....At Hazard's Pavilion Jim Jeffries breaks through Denver Ed Martin's long-armed defence to force a stoppage by referee Ed Graney with Martin helpless on the ropes taking multiple unanswered punches....Dan 'Porky' Flynn fends off the clumsy attack of former Pacific Northwest champion Fred Russell and knocks him out cold a minute and a half into round one....Flynn improves his record to 8-0 with 4 KOs while Russell is now 26-20-0....Maritime amateur middleweight champion turned pro Bill Mackinnon ekes out a close decision over New England's Joe Dundee in a heavyweight contest....
