Young Papke Query

He's got two bouts on one day: March 5, 1920.
Can anyone confirm this is true, or does one have an incorrect date?
I also question the June 13, 1921 bout with Mike Irwin in New York. It doesn't fit his schedule. Colin, this must be another Young Papke.

Times has this card for June 12, 1921 and identifies this boxer as Young Billy Papke, Yorkville, NY. welterweight.

I think Young Papke (Ortea/Orfea Arpea) and Jack Papke are the same boxer ?
On 1921-06-12 Young Papke fought Mike Irwin in New York, was this Johnny Papke ?

Thats a definite possibility John, there is only the one reference to Young Billy Papke of Yorkville. Can't believe everything you read in the papers as I found out with Frank Biagangasso.
