"Bob Baker is back in the scramble after whipping Coley Wallace, the motion-picture version of Joe Louis. Baker, still carrying extra weight at 213 pounds, floored Wallace for nine in the 4th round last night at the Cleveland Armory but he couldn't finish him. He gave him a good going over in the 9th and 10th, however." -Associated Press
