Notes:  Ed Lewis had been recovering in Glendale after being hit by a car three weeks
earlier.  Lynch wanted to sign Ed Don George, the “new” world title claimant for a match in
the near future.  Ostopowicz was said to be a “claimant of the Polish title.” John “Casey”
Kazanjian was billed as a “former Stanford and Olympic Club football player.” Dr. Millikan
was a chiropractor from Los Angeles, and “in three matches since entering the game, has
won over Don de Laun of France, ‘Swede’ Olson of Sweden and Les Grimes of Los
Angeles.”

*The California Athletic Commission issued a decree stating that all main events must start
not later than 10:00 p.m. so “out-of-town spectators will be able to make their ferry boats or
suburban trains.”
