"Louis (Kid) Cocoa of New York and Charles Burley of Minneapolis fought to a 10 round draw here Monday night. Burley managed to send Cocoa to the canvas with a hard right and left in the 2nd round but the New Yorker refused to take a count and came back strong in the closing rounds to earn the draw." -Associated Press
The Times-Picayune thought it was close, but that Burley should have been tabbed the winner.
