Tiger Lee Page/Paige

BoxRec has a Lee Paige, who fought Freddie Steele. I read some 1932 Seattle-area newspapers yesterday, and the name is always spelled Lee Page. I've changed the name in the record.
BoxRec has another Lee Page who fought in Washington state at the time.
It looks like these two records should be combined, huh?

Well, as I go along in my newspaper research, I see that the reporters are now (1933) spelling his last name as "Paige." So, it's been changed back as it was. Lesson learned. Still appears that the two records should be combined, however. Perhaps it is too soon to do that. I have a couple of new "Paige" results to add within the next couple of weeks.
