"Ernie Schaaf, Boston, administered to W.L. (Young) Stribling the worst beating of the Georgian's career in a 10 round bout before 10,925 persons in Chicago Stadium last night. The decision was unanimous. Conceding Schaaf height, reach and every other physical advantage, Stribling made one of the gamest stands of his long and checkered career. Schaaf dropped Stribling with a series of short rights to the head and left the Georgian sitting in the ring bewildered and glass-eyed just as the bell ended the 4th round. Coming out for the 5th, Stribling, still showing the effects of the jolts he had taken in the previous round, made a courageous but desperate rally which momentarily turned the tide in his favor. It was Stribling's final bid for victory. Through the last five rounds Schaaf slowly cut the handsome southern boy's face to pieces and beat him in every conceivable way." -United Press
