MAL0NEY FAV0RITE
 OVER HIS RIVAL
Sharkey's Injured Eye Works
 to Disadvantage

New York, May 16.-lRl-Jack Sharkey's eye injury suffered in training. made Jimmy Maloney. his rival contender for the heavyweight boxing crown. to favorite to- day for their bout Thursday night at the Yankee stadium.
 While Sharkey was forced to re- frain from sparring because of the wound above the left eye which Ma loney originally inflicted in one Of their previous meetings and Sharkey reopened in a match with a spas- ring partner. Saturday, Maloney went through his daily lo rounds of boxing in a final drive to get his weight down to the fighting point. zoo pounds.
 Sharkey, now weighing 1e3. ex- pected to dry out to lSS by the time he weighs in Thursday afternoon at the office of the state athletic con- mission.
 While Sharkey's mishap was re- flected in the betting odds. it was made light Of by the boxer himself who lost none Of his confidence that he is Maloney's master. In three previous bouts the ex-sailor came of victorious. he pointed out. add ing that he, intends to make it three times and out.
 The winner is due for shot at the survivor of match between Dempsey and PaSiino with & chance at Tunney if successful both times. The loser will be eliminated as | contender.
 A heavy advance sale of tickets indicated the gate would run over $400,00o, of which the principals are to get liberal share. 4 big at tendance is expected from Boston as both fighters hail from there, al- though Sharkey comes originally from Binghamton. N. Y.
 Preparations for another headline fight will begin today when Pete Latzo. welterweisht title holder is scheduled to begin training at Pompton lakes. where Maloney is now training, for his title bout with Joe Dundee, June 3, at the Polo Grounds.

|BATTALlN0 AGAIN
 TO MEET VENTURA
Lawrence FeatherWei6ht Tackles Champion at Hartford

Hartford. May Is Bat Batta- lino. sensational Hartford amateur featherweight and now national A. A. U. champion. predicts first round knockout over Paul Ventura of Lawrence when they meet on the Massasoit A. C. card at the Hartford Velodrome Tuesday night. Battalino battled Ventura last week at the Velodrome and was the winner when Ventura returned to ths canvas without being hit. Ventura had been dropped by one of Bats stiff rights and started to arise at the count Of two; then he decided to take . longer count, dropping back to the floor which resulted in his disqualification.
 ' Ventura, insisting he can beat Battalino. asked another chance and they are to come together again on Tuesday night. Ventura made by far the best showing of any of the boys who have engaged the national champion in this city.
 Tho Battalino-Ventura bout will be the feature Of a card which will in- clude some dozen bouts bringing in- to action teams from Lawrence. Lowell and Holyoke and a score of the leading Connecticut amateurs.
 Last weeks show was the first of a series of moro than 20 open-air cards which the Massasoit A. C. will stage at the big Velodrome, which seats many thousands and where there k no danger of fans being turned away as was the case at Foot Guard hall several times this past winter.
 Beginning Tuesday night. all of these weekly shows will be held on that night for the remainder of the outdoor season.
 There is every indication that the amateur game is in for . banner sea- son in Hartford. Last Wednesday fans from all sections of the state were on hand, despite the rainy weather. the gate showing 5000 in attendance.
 The plan of the Massasoit club is to bring teams from all sections of the east to the big Connecticut boulevard arena and practically all the outstanding amateur boxers of the east will be seen in action there before the summer Is over

HE LIKES CHICKEN
This Is Believed to Have Induced Fairfield County Jail Inmate to Take French Leave.

Bridgeport, May 16.-tP1An in- satiable appetite for chicken is held responsible for the disappearance from the Fairfield county jail on North avenue of William Wagner of Danbury. who has been missing since Saturday. He was working for the cement block contractor in the jail yard when he disappeared. He had served three months of . years sentence for chicken theft.
 Wagner's weakness for chicken was well known to other inmates of the jail. Chicken Ia Maryland. friend chicken. roast chicken. boiled chicken or stewcd chicken-it was all the same to Wagner. Porridge sweetened with molasses is no sub stitute for chicken ill form and after months of jail fare. Wagner was willing to take any chance to get out where he could obtain the delicacy so dear to his stomach.
 State police and jail guards are awaiting news of chicken thefts and when such news Is received will re- gard it as clue to Wasner's where- abouts.
