The Geffners were brothers. Boxrec records for these boxers lists their surname as Gaffner, but their hometown newspaper always spells the name Geffner.
*This bout was billed for the South Jersey middleweight championship, with Selzer the titleholder.
**This bout was billed for the South Jersey welterweight championship, with Grange the titleholder.
