"Both hands were swollen last night as Bob Baker, Pittsburgh's unbeaten heavyweight, battered Elkins Brothers of New Castle, Pa., for a unanimous 10 round decision. Although Brothers crowded Baker and gave him trouble in the early rounds, it wasn't close. Baker had his man in trouble in the 10th. Brothers wobbled against the ropes and hung on in the final stages. But Baker, apparently worried about his hands, never dropped him. Still, he did everything but flatten Brothers. He was efficient in his cautious way." -Associated Press
