Notes

Newspaper win for Greb according to the Pittsburgh Post. "Foley was pulled out of the crowd to substitute for Fay Keiser. He was 20 pounds heavier than Greb. It was "Greb's speed (that) earned him the victory, although he didn't hurt Foley one bit, beyond bloodying his nose. In the fourth round, Foley was at his best and got to Greb repeatedly, but could not land a finisher, and Greb kept out of danger the rest of the time."
