	At this point one of Rivers' seconds commenced to shout "Foul", and claimed that a red spot on their man's stomach was evidence of a knee blow or foul. A doctor who looked at it laughed and said to a HERALD reporter: "It is just a red mark; the man is not hurt." However, Mr Curran announced that he would give the fight to Rivers.

Childs vs Rivers from the Los Angeles Herald
The Former Wins the Fight But Loses the Decision

Probably the most unsatisfactory glove contest ever given in this city occurred last evening at the Pastime Club rooms, between Childs the colored heavyweight, and Rivers, the white fighter from Kansas City. The affair lasted a round and a half, the white man not being in it at any stage. Rivers has a splendid chest development and a long reach, but is deficient in muscle and not particularly versed in boxing. He acts like a man entirely new to the ring. Childs is in splendid condition and has improved wonderfully in science. He had his man completely thrashed in no time, the fight being so one-sided as not to call for any detailed account.
The way the affair was conducted, however, was most discreditable; while (John)Rivers was on the floor and the timekeeper was counting the 10 seconds off, one of his seconds, without any protest from anyone except Childs' seconds, jumped in the ring and tried to lift his man up.
Everyone supposed the fight was Childs' and Referee Curran waited until quiet was restored, when he said: "I'm not satisfied with the result of this fight."
At this point one of Rivers' seconds commenced to shout "Foul", and claimed that a red spot on their man's stomach was evidence of a knee blow or foul. A doctor who looked at it laughed and said to a HERALD reporter: "It is just a red mark; the man is not hurt." However, Mr Curran announced that he would give the fight to Rivers. Childs was brought back to the ring and made a vigorous protest.
