Ed Petroskey, the aspirant for middle
weight honors, took a terrific drubbing
at the hands of Frank Klaus, the
PIttsburg claimant of the champion
ship. Klaus won the decision with
nearly every round to his credit.
Petroskey with the odds, 2 to /
against him, received punches for
every one he landed, but the TWEEN
tieth round found him still ready to
exchange blows and he was cheered
repeatedly for his gameness.
Klaus had all the better of the in
lighting and belabored P~etroskey's ribs
and hammered his face until 1t was
pulled and bleeding. Petroskey held
his own In exchanges at long range
and shook his man with right crosses
and upper-cuts but never stopped
Klaus from boring into a clinch.
