Stribling Wins Over Huffin In Madison Square Garden Bout
Stribling of Georgia won a 10 round heavyweight bout at Madison Square Garden against Eddie Luffman of California before 373 fight fans. The Georgian showed uneven form but controlled the action with cleaner punches, while Luffman bled from a cut. The crowd was small and restless, and some jeered Stribling after a prior showing. In other notes, Jamestown leaders planned a meeting to discuss increasing the widow’s fire benefit following a fire last week.
