Millville, NJ, May 31, 1929, Complete Results from Previously Unreported Card

Post by DavidKehler »

Here are the results from the first outdoor card of 1929 organized by the Millville A. C. at the Punch Bowl in Millville, NJ, Friday, May 31, 1929. Results from this card have not been previously reported on Boxrec.

Larry Jackson, 135, Millville, NJ W8 Tony Ritz, 138, Newfield, NJ
Nick DiMotto, 124, Newfield, NJ W6 Danny Moran, 122, Vineland, NJ
Mickey Patrick, 190, Millville, NJ W6 Jack Houvig (or Jack Horvig) 180, Salem, NJ
Nelson Harris, Bridgeton, NJ W6 Dave Hall, Bridgeton, NJ (welterweights)
Rol Thurston, 104 or 107, Millville, NJ W4 Eddie Fisher, 106 or 107, Bridgeton, NJ

Referee: Frank Gant
Attendance: Estimated at 1800

Sources for the results: "Millville Daily Republican, Millville, NJ, June 1, 1929, page 6; "Evening Times", Vineland, NJ, June 1, 1929, page 6; and "Evening Courier", Camden, NJ, June 1, 1929, page 17.
Source for preview of the card: "Millville Daily Republican", Millville, NJ, May 31, 1929, page 6.

There was a disagreement among sources on the weights of the boxers in the Harris-Hall and Thurston-Fisher bouts.
The "Millville Daily Republican" identified Patrick's foe as Jack Houvig, the "Evening Courier" had it Jack Hougie, while the "Evening Times" reported it Jack Horvig. There was also some misspelling of Nick DiMotto's surname.
