Source for the results of the Stanley-Burke and Whitehead-Graham bouts: The Shreveport Times, Shreveport, LA (9-4-23, p. 10). Source for a preview of the card: The Shreveport Times, Shreveport, LA (9-3-23, p. 8)
The account of the card noted that Stanley was a more experienced pro than Burke, so his identity needs further research. The account identified Whitehead as Kid Whitehead. Whitehead's older brother, Merrill, was sometimes known as Young Whitehead, the Knockout Kid. The identification of Word Whitehead here is solid.
