1905-01-21 The Lancaster Daily Intelligencer (Lancaster, PA) (page 4)
At Jack Milley's club, on East Grant street, on Friday evening, a boxing show by his pupils was given. Lee Houck, a very promising youngster, stopped Young White in three rounds; Beedle Nye bested Young Moss and the Kaspar Midgets put up a rattling bout. Young Houck stopped Kid Moss. There was some very fast work between the youngsters and the audience was highly pleased.

Leo Houck W-KO4/6 Jimmy Livingstone
Result from the Philadelphia Item.
The result was actually a D-NWS6:
1906-05-18 The Lancaster Daily Intelligencer (Lancaster, PA) (page 5)
Lee Houck, of Lancaster, and Jimmy Livingston, of Philadelphia, put up a hard six-round go and the Lancaster boy held his own although he could have done better if he had been more aggressive and had done more leading.
Walter Schlichter, sporting editor of Phila. Item, who refereed the first three bouts, left for Chicago before this bout started. Robert McCusker was the referee of the last two bouts (Houck-Livingston and Parks-Frank). So the Phila. Item must have got the result wrong.
