Wouldn't This Floor
You? Heavy Firing on Arena Front!
5,000 See Inquirer A.A. Finals
Our Inquirer A.A. amateur aces were big dealers in
the fistic fireworks last night when they hurled punches in semi-final
and final round bouts at the Arena. Here is a breath-taker which
was on view, and is sure to be duplicated when the tournament ends in a
burst of thumps and thrills tomorrow night. Top shows William
Speary, Nanticoke, left, just as he hurled a haymaking right at John
Ferrara, Seymour in their 112-pound open final. Speary, who had
defeated John Aiello, Wilmington, in the semi-final, got off the floor
in the second round and took the decision over Ferrara in three periods.
