"Featherweight champion Sandy Saddler took it on the jaw in the early rounds of his non-title fight with St. Louis' Charley Riley but he came back for a close 10 round decision last night. Both fighters went at each other viciously at the opening gong but Riley, after getting Saddler in touble in the 2nd and 6th rounds, tired. The 7,253 fans roared with approval as Riley slammed the New Yorker into the ropes repeatedly with left jabs to the jaw. Saddler came back in the 3rd to take that round and the 4th appeared to be a draw. In the 6th Riley showed a final burst of steam as he put Saddler back on the ropes with a series of right hands. From then on Saddler kept Riley from getting off any solid blows as the pounded the man from St. Louis at will." -Associated Press
