• Referee: Tommy McCarty
• Judge: Eddie O'Neill
• Judge: Al Rosenberg

Unpopular decision: "It was a whirlwind bout from the start with McArdle setting the pace and doing all the leading. Israel laid back and peppered the Canadian with vicious counter-punches to catch the fancy of the judges. Abie's refusal to lead and several low blows caused the fans to cheer McArdle at the finish." Everett Daily Herald.

The Seattle Times described Israel as "taking an early advantage and increasing it as the bout went on." Israel landed his left hand in a half uppercut/hook manner to the body effectively against McArdle. The Times felt that the decision for Israel was just.
