"A combination of feet, head, hands and a daily dozen gave Dave Shade, the world's cockiest middleweight, a ten-round decision over Young Georgie Dixon, Portland negro fighter, at the armory last night. For if the sad, sad truth must out, Dixon was hopelessly outclassed, and though he was perfectly willing to fight, the willingness was all he showed."Portland Oregonian In an article with Portland Oregonian sports writer L.H.
