Speary Advances In Golden Gloves
PHILADELPHIA 112-POUNDER IS AMONG THOSE GAINING
SEMI-FINALS IN RING MEET
72 STILL IN THE RUNNING
PLENTY OF ACTION AT HIPPODROME
Billy Speary of Philadelphia, one of the best
112-pounders seen during three hectic sessions of the Golden Gloves
tournament, emerged as a semi-finalist at the close of the quarter-finals
at the Hippodrome last night.
The 72 survivors of the 317 entrants will compete in
the semi-finals February 28 at Ridgewood and March 1 at the
Hippodrome. The survivors of that round will meet in the finals at
Madison Square Garden, March 7. The tournament is being conducted by
The Daily News Welfare Association.
Speary is one of the best of the great array of
amateurs who kept two rings surging with action yesterday. A clever,
cool boxer with an educated left and a sharp right cross, he knocked out
Tony Palamara of Trinity in the first round. A hard right to the
body dropped Palamara for short count, and a sharp right cross to the jaw
dropped him for the full count.

- "Where I come from you have to know how to fight … or
else," declared Bill Speary, Philly Golden Glover, at WMCA as
announcer Dick Fishell and other victorious Glovers looked on. Bill was
the only defending champ to survive Monday's finals. You'll note that
they are no bumps or bandages on these champs. They all came out in as
good a condition as they went in. |
