According to the March 9, 1929 SEATTLE DAILY TIMES, Gillespie had had a bout earlier at Sydney Stadium. He was ahead on points during the fight when he heard a newspaper reporter's telephone ring. Mistaking the telephone ring for the gong ending the round, he let down his guard -- only to be kayoed by his unidentified opponent.
