Potts Wins In Fifth Round At Local Opera House
Jimmie Potts defeats Eddie Sherry in the fifth round of a wind-up boxing event at the opera house last Wednesday. Referee Moen praised both fighters. Sherry showcased pluck in his first pro bout. Potts outweighed his opponent by about twenty pounds and dominated after landing key blows, with the crowd protesting when the bell rang. Also on the card were Kid LaBelle vs Jadack in a four round bout and a wrestling match between Frank Laschinske and Red Hibbard, Laschinske winning two straight falls to impress the crowd of about 250.
