West Whips East before 19,388 Fans in New York Bouts

Sensational Victories by Inquirer Champions Fail to Save Eastern Squad in Inter-City Competition

NEW YORK, MARCH 21… the tide of the amateur fistic Empire swept westward tonight as Chicago continued its long reign over the pick of the East in inter-city competition.
The Eastern team, after winning the first four bouts on the program of 16, suffered a sharp reversal of form and lost 9 to 7 as 19,388 persons looked on.
Four Inquirer A. A. Champions, a component part of the Eastern squad, did well, battling .500 for the evening.
Billy Speary and Johnny Aiello carried Philadelphia district colors to victory. Speary, Nanticoke, Pa., flyweight, won as he pleased over Kenny Lottman, highly rated Chicago athlete, and Aiello, Inquirer AA bantamweight kingpin, scored over Frank Kainrath.

SARAULLO, GALLOTTO LOSE

Tony Saraullo, featherweight, and Vince Gallotto, welterweights with a losing Philadelphian. Saraullo was shaded by Eddie Dempsey, and Gallotto battled to Marvin Liddell.
Johnny Forte, another Philadelphia flyweight, did not see action, losing his alternate position on the team to Bobby Carroll.
Speary and Bobby Carroll, Trenton, accounted for open and alternate points in the flyweight division to start the Eastern drive.
Speary was much superior to Lottman. The little up- Stater drop the Chicagoan in the first round with a left hook for a nine count and went on to win from that point with a southpaw barrage. He was by far the outstanding fighter on the card.
