NANTICOKE AMATEUR IS AHEAD ALL THE WAY
Kenny Lottman Is Dropped for Seven Count In First-Round Then Offers Little Opposition
New York, March 21 (AP)--Bill Speary, hard-hitting Nanticoke, Pa., flyweight, pounded out of decision over Kenny Lottman of Chicago to win the first inter-city championship bout as Chicago and New York Golden Gloves champions and their alternates met at Madison Square Garden before a capacity crowd.
Speary, the defending champion was ahead all the way. He dropped Lottman in the first
for a seven count with a left hook and hit him at will in the last two rounds with both hands.
Speary's victory gave New York a sweep in the 112-pound bouts. Bobby Carroll, from Camp Dix, easily outpointed Walter Cavaliere, of Chicago in the alternate
bout.

Speary a
Bantamweight
Nanticoke's pride of the amateur boxing ring,
"Mighty Atom" Bill Speary will forsake the flyweight division
from now on and battle for the bantamweight class crown in all future
bouts!
Speary, twice winner of the Chicago vs. New York Golden gloves
flyweight class title, New York Golden gloves, state and national A.A.U.
crowns, is maturing bodily, and making the weight limit of 112 pounds is
proving a little hard for the lad. Trainer Art Thomas, who has directed
the sensational little scrapper to the great heights he has attained,
will now groom the lad for the 118 pound titular battle when the April
tourney of the national A.A.U. opens.
