- Referee: Pete Moe
Tracy's American debut.
"For six rounds Tracy stood up under the punishing blows of the youthful 'bearcat.' As the sixth round was nearing its end, Bercot, with one eye nearly closed, but a smile of victory on his face, shook his head, signifying to his dozens of woodsmen friends in the house that he could not deliver the knockout punch." Everett Daily Herald
Tracy's manager, Jack Allen, immediately called for a rematch, saying that the 21-day voyage from Australia had taken its toll.
