"Billy Gilliam of Orange, NJ, unconvinced by three failures, succeeded on his fourth try in gaining a victory over Bob Baker of Pittsburgh. Gilliam, a 13-5 underdog, won a split decision over his opponent in the feature bout at Brooklyn's Eastern Parkway Arena last night and thus avenged three previous losses to Baker. Baker dominated the first two rounds of the televised fight but Gilliam rallied in the 3rd round and finished fast in the 10th. There were no knockdowns." -United Press
