Hendricks?...or Headricks?

I just discovered in BoxRec listings for two different men (Headricks and Hendricks) who had many fights in the west years ago. I inserted a couple and Chuck, Ric and wouter put in numerous. I'm quite sure the three bouts under Hendricks should be deleted and added to Headricks. The mixup was caused by Idaho papers in the 1920's with a typo, I believe.

Clyde Headricks seems to have been a middleweight, Clyde Hendricks a lightweight

Never mind the weights. a lot of fighters went up and down all the time. At various times papers reported both guys named "Clyde" as being from Sacramento and both at times saw action in same general locations in Utah, Nevada and Idaho. I'm pretty certain they're one and the same!!
