Attell O'Toole Fight Leaves Fans Unsatisfied
The Armory bout between Abe Attell and Tommy O'Toole drew criticism as Charlie White favored the champion, with many regulars deeming a draw more fitting. O'Toole impressed Boston fans, though crowd preference leaned away from the flashy style. Referee Fleming halted the first preliminary after Young O'Connor struck Eddie Burns, a move seen as prudent. Ray Ewry reportedly set a standing hop, step, and jump record while Platt Adams eclipsed his best jump, signaling continued form for Ewry. Boston is also slated for a six- line.
