"Dick Tiger, British Empire middleweight champion, kept the pressure on Holly Mims Wednesday night in hammering out a 10 round decision in Chicago Stadium. Tiger missed frequently with his most potent weapon, a left hook, but kept Mims against the ropes most of the time. Mims, 155, was at his best coming off the ropes and constantly made Tiger break off the exchanges. But Tiger, 160, proved much stronger and got in the harder licks as he kept stalking Mims." -Associated Press
