 Yored to Win S50,000 Event

Louisville, Ky, April 27 R-Two tlllles, one a. non stake winner and the other the leading money winner or the two year olds in 1926, are in preparation for the Kentucky Derby. \ score of Allies were nominated for the May II race, but the packers of Candy Queen and Fair Star are looking to one of them to duplicate the feat of Regret. the only lilly to win tn" $50 900 added race.
 Of the Derby candidates training here. none is going about the work more impressively than Candy Queen. II. Teller Archibald, Chi cago sportsman, Is taking personal interest in his lilly and is>well pleas- cd with her showing. She Is con- sidcred a sure starter in tho Derby.
 Although not a stake winner last year. Candy Queen was so close on the heels of good colts in some of the big features that her class is dem monstratcd. She finished second to SCapa Flow in the Belmont Flu turity, also placed in tho Breeders Futurity and the Flash Stakes. and was third to Valorous and Bo,tonian in the Kentucky Jock club stakes. She won three races in ten starts and was out Of the money three times. Her winnings totalled $l3,- TO.
 The blood Of the best racing stock in England courses in her veins, this royalty bred daughter Of the Imp stefan the Great -Kalavala, k the great granddaughter Of Roi Herode, famous English sire.
 Fair Star. d Wrack Etoile Filantc Ally. campaisned In the east last year and won $SS.2so. She started fifteen times. won six races and fin- ished out of the picture twice. Her victories in the Pimlico Futuritv. and the Selma stakes boosted her winnings 10 well above that of the average two year olds.
 Fair Star is in the F'oxcatcher stable, owned by William Dupont, Jr., and is training well at Pimlico. The Satrap, Dupont's slo0.0o0 Eng. fish colt, also is eligible for the Der by. but tho stable may have to de- pend on the Ally to bear it's colors. as the Satrap now is considered very doubtful starter.

The action of Commissioner Don ohue Is considered thoughtless. Whether he is riding rough shod over the local men because of the renown of the principals in the New Haven bout. is another ques- ton.

Without any doubt at all, Batta- lino would be a great attraction in Connecticut. at least. as profess sional. Just how far he would go fighting in the moro experienced ranks among the tougher scrappcrs he will meet, depends on Battalino himself.
New Britain herald., 1927-04-27

The best fights We have seen put up against Battalino were those giv- on him by the New Jersey feather weight who appeared against him in this city. and by Rollo Roland Of Waterbury who had Battalino prae- t'cally beaten at the state armory in this city up to the third round.
New Britain herald., 1927-04-27

Bait Battalino left no doubt in anyone's mind as to his ability to win the national featherweight title. Tn the tournament concluded last night in Boston. Battalno came through with colors flying high. He knocked out four men, the four op- ponents selected for him and all were put to sleep in record time.

Az a professional. Battalino will meet tougher scrappers than he has met in the amateur ranks. Just at 'he present time. he has pretty soft piclsings for a fighter in tho ranks of the simon pures

Speaking s of s ports

Patsy Bridget of the Hardware A. C.. may be forced to postpone his card of fights scheduled for next Monday night at the '. M. T. A. < E. hall because of the action of State Athletic Commissioner Thomas Donohue in giving the Elm City A. C. of New Haven. permission to postpone the Kaplan-Naccarclli bout until Monday night.
 With Kaplan's brother lazy ap- bearing in the main so here against Jimmy Borde of France. there isn't any doubt whatever but that the attendance at the fights would be seriously threatened. Should Mon- day be a date on which the local club could go through with at least one card without having other at- fractions on to bother the promoter. the Hardware City A. C. would at least have a 50-50 chance to regain some of the ground it has lost in its first two attempts.
New Britain herald., 1927-04-27

All plans have been completed for the staging Of the card in this city for some weeks and being forced to postpone the show to some other date isn't at all going to help. The New Haven card was at first sched- uled to be given this Thursday night but word from Eaccarelli in New York to the affect that his training has been interrupted by a cold. re- suited in the permit for the bout to be held Monday night
New Britain herald., 1927-04-27

BaNalno, because ot his prowess as d fighter. has hcen finding it hard 10 get fights because most of the him. He will find it more diff cult task to get opponents now that he has demonstrated that his abil- fly is real and not just a passing flash.
New Britain herald., 1927-04-27

The question naturally follows whether Battalino will turn pro or remain in the amateurs. We have heard that attempts will be made to have the Hartford battler remain with the simon-pures until after the Olympics next year. Whether he will do that or not remains to be seen.

The Industrial Baseball league will start on Tuesday. May 10 with eight teams entered, The New Britain park board voted last night 10 allow the league to play at Wal nut Hill park instead of at Willow Brook.
New Britain herald., 1927-04-27

No definite action has been taken by Promoter Bridget at this writing on the postponement of the card but because of his experience with other shows on nights whom other attractions were being held. leads one to believe that the wisest course is to either cancel or postpone the local card.
New Britain herald., 1927-04-27

The league will play twilight base ball this year with games each Tuesday and Thursday evening at 5:So o'clock. All the teams entered are getting in their practice sessions and a fast league is in prospect.
