"Outfought in the early going, Harvey Massey, 158, of New York put his superior experience to good use in the stretch and won an eight-round decision at National Hall last night from Jackie Burke, eighteen-year-old Pittsburgh, Pa, middleweight. Burke, 157, opened a cut over Massey's left eye in the first round and followed up his advantage in the next two heats with a succession of straight left jabs to the New Yorker's face. Then came Massey's turn, he took the next five rounds." (Reno Evening Gazette)
