(01:16:00) - NEW CHAMPION

Prior to the show there was a "band and drum and bugle corps concerts."
There was also a trio of stunt planes.
Jack Curley of New York, Ray Fabiani of Philadelphia and Tom Packs of St. Louis were all on hand for the show.
Adrian O'Brien sand between the semi-final and the final.
O'Mahoney is said to be 22 years old.
This is said to be O'Mahoney's 55th straight victory.
It's noted in The Globe, "Of course, as Massachusetts is not one of the States that have recognized Londos as a champion, 'Jeemy' can still defend his championship claim to the 'world's title' against Chief Little Wolf at the Yankee Stadium during the first week in July."
[The match at Yankee Stadium ended up being O'Mahoney defending his title against Little Wolf]
