	“It proved more interesting than many anticipated. Garrard, who was fully six inches the taller, studied his little opponent for awhile and then decided that rushing would be the best tactics, and he drove the Australian about the ring in a way that quite surprised those who expected the little wonder to have an easy time of it. After a savage lunge in the third round Griffo smiled rather weakly and said: ‘You’re so tall I can’t reach you.’ At which Garrard kept on with his rushing tactics, Griffo being compelled to dodge frequently and having to content himself in aggressive work by blows on Garrard’s body. He landed several stiff ones, however, on Garrard’s neck and many slashing ones on the body. The showing of the Chicago man was quite favorable, and the decision of a draw by Referee Siler appeared satisfactory.”		“It proved more interesting than many anticipated.
