Report 125 pound class for F.J. O'Neill A.C.S.N. KO1 Fred Myers Warren A.C.
In the same class Michael Dee, West Philadelphia A.C. and G. Moriarity, Warren A.C., proved well matched and valiant heroes of the sport, each showing a strong desire to annihilate his opponent. This, like the previuos bout, was a dandy, both men rushing until thoroughly tired. Suddenly, in a rally at the close of the third round, Moriarity swung for Dee, missed, and in an attempt to recover himself, swung wildly in the opposite direction. Dee's jaw was in line with the advancing glove and he went down like a ton of coal, Moriarity being countered the victor.

The report in the Record touches on the O'Neill fight but seems to be Foul victory for Moriarity although some print obscured.
