Blaettler Edged by Rinderle in Milwaukee Bout
Kid Ivan Blaettler of Marshfield was shaded by Eddie Rinderle in Milwaukee last Wednesday night. Blaettler led six rounds of an eight round bout but wore down as he was outweighed by about ten pounds. Reported pressure from the larger foe weakened Blaettler in the final two rounds. This was their second meeting, Blaettler winning the first clash on January 3 by a clean knockdown in the third round. Blaettler serves as boxing instructor for the Knights of Columbus in Milwaukee. They are likely to meet again later.
