Source for the results: The Jersey Journal, Jersey City, NJ (10-23-1926, p. 11). Source for a preview of the card: The Jersey Journal, Jersey City, NJ (10-22-1926, p. 18). This was the first in a series of weekly cards held at the Hudson Theatre. Jack Garrison was the manager of the venue, thus the promoter, and Sam Cohen was the matchmaker. The Hudson featured burlesque shows, and the boxing bouts were held at the conclusion of the night's burlesque performances for a single admission charge. Cohen used this same format of boxing plus burlesque for a series of cards at the Orpheum Theatre in Paterson, NJ, where he also made the matches.
