"Jack Sharkey of Boston won a close decision from King Solomon of Panama in a 10-round battle fought in a drizzle of rain in the open air at Braves Field, Boston, last night. All was about even until the final round when Sharkey cut loose with a terrific body attack which slowed the King down. The Boston heavyweight played for the body all during the bout while Solomon depended on lefts and rights to the head. Sharkey's whirlwind finish won him the decision, which was not well received by the spectators." -The Biddeford Daily Journal
