"Heavyweight Johnny Summerlin of Detroit gave California champion Young Jack Johnson a thumping last night and now wants a shot at Brooklyn's Floyd Patterson. Summerlin, weighing 194 1/2 to Johnson's 210 1/2, had his Los Angeles foe in trouble in the 4th when he connected with three rights to the jaw. But he couldn't score a knockdown.
