"Eddie Perkins of Chicago, world junior welterweight champion, used skill and speed Wednesday night to score a unanimous decision over Canadian champion Les Sprague of Dartmouth, N.S., in a 10 round non-title bout. Sprague turned in a good defensive display and landed his best shots in the last few rounds when he and Perkins fought at close quarters. Perkins sharper technique got perfect marks from all three judges. There were no knockdowns." -Canadian Press
