Fiantini Here
Dominic Fiantini and his manager, Gus Browne, arrived in town
yesterday from New York. The curly-haired little Reading Italian
appeared to be in perfect condition and radiated confidence. By nature
reticent and not boastful, he grinned from ear to ear and merely said
"the best man will win," when asked if he thought he would
beat Speary.
While the three times National amateur champion has won eighteen
successive contests since he turned professional, close followers of
sports rate Fiantini the best man he has yet met and therefore the man
with the best chance to stop the Nanticoke boy's winning streak.
"In New York they call Dominic 'the boy who stops the winning
streaks.' Whenever some fellow pops up and licks everybody else, they
finally match him with Dominic and his splurge is over," said
Manager Browne.
Speary and his manager-trainer, Art Thomas will arrive here today
in time for the weighing in at two o'clock. The weight agreed upon 126
pounds.
