Billy Soose 155 lbs beat Freddie Lenn 158 lbs by UD in round 10 of 10
- Date: 1938-08-29
- Location: Hickey Park, Millvale, Pennsylvania, USA
- Referee: Freddie Mastrean
- Judge: Alvin (Jap) Williams
- Judge: George MacBeth
Soose won the decision handily, scoring a nine-count knockdown in the 3rd round with a right uppercut. Lenn was nearly floored for a second time later in that same round, by another right; which forced him to grab on to Soose.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that "Soose was an elusive target for the slow-moving Lenn, the Penn State sidestepping nicely when danger threatened. Lenn did not want to trade blows inside and found Soose too clever on the outside, although because he made Soose frequently miss and because he wound up fairly strong in spite of the beating he took, Lenn did better than he was expected to do."
