"The Kid Chocolate - Lew Feldman bout at the St. Nicholas Arena Monday night proved to be a highly satisfactory affair for all concerned. Though there was no doubt as to Chocolate deserving the verdict, it was an interesting contest throughout. The Kid took all except two rounds, but he had to step his prettiest. Chocolate is still a mark for left hooks to the body. It doesn't seem the Kid will ever learn how to get away from that punch. Feldman hit him with dozens of lefts around the beltline, but Lew was stepping so fast that he could not get much behind the punch. After Chocolate had taken the first three frames Feldman set the customers wild by belting the Kid around in scandalous fashion in the 4th. Chocolate resumed control in the 5th. In the 7th, which was the Cuban's best round, a bad cut was opened on Feldman's nose, and he also lost blood from an old gash over the right eye, which had begun to open in the 3rd. In spite of the injuries, the Brooklyn boy made it interesting right down to the final bell." -The Altoona Mirror
