Ghetto Wizard Benny Leonard

I'm about to insert what appears to be a new Benny Leonard bout: W-6 Mike Sarko, Sept. 12, 1932 @ NYC, NY, USA.
If anyone disagrees that this is THE Benny Leonard, or that I am mistaken otherwise, please speak up.
My source: a day-after EVERETT DAILY HERALD newspaper account.

Edit: THE EVERETT DAILY HERALD also confirms the Leonard-Sarko W-6 NYC August 19th bout. So, there is no issue regarding whether the Sept. 12 is a duplicate with a different date.

That bout is ok -- it appears on my reord on the CBZ after Sep 8, but I mistyped the date and repeated Aug 12.
