Little Wolf entered the ring draped in- a brightlycoloured striped shawl and gaudy Indian head-dtess. Short and broad, he measures approximately two feet across the back, and in to-night's bout was an easy target for Stein's flying tackles. The first six rounds were evenly contested. In the seventh Stein struck the Indian with four flying tackles in rapid succession, and pinned him to a fall with a body press. The Indian gained a submission fall from a deathloek soon after the last round opened. Stein was given the decision on points. Little Wolf left the ring protesting.
