least have 50-5o chance to regain some of the ground it has lost in its first two attempts.
 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. Promoter Bridget plans to register strong kick against the shifting of the New Haven date to that on which he planned to conduct his card.
 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
 No definite action has been taken by Promoter Bridget at this writing on the ostponement Of the card but because of his experience with other shows on nights when other attractions were being held. leads one 10 believe that the wisest course is to either cancel or postpone the local card.
 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.
 Last year, the league played its cames at Willow Brook park but the diamonds there, having been built only shortly before the sea- son opened. were not in the best Of shape. The league officials were not satisfied with the condition Of
 
 quest"d the park boards permis- sion 10 stage the games at Walnut Jill park.
 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.
 The D. 6 NJ baseball will be used this year. After a conference. the Industrial Athletic council decided to use this brand.
 The first man to get q hone run in the league this year will also be given the choice of any bat in Had nnld's Sporting Goods store This offer was made during the past few days an a wild and merry scramble will be made by the heavy stickers to see who makes the first circuit trip.
 Bait Battalino left no doubt in anyones mind as 10 his ability to win the national featherweieht 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.
 The question naturally follows 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.
 BaAalino, because Of his prowess as q fighter. has been finding it hard 10 get fights because most of the amateur battlers are fighting shy of him. He will find it a more diff 1 cult task to get opponents now that he has demonstrated that his abil- 1, fly is real and not just a passing flash.
 Az a professional. Battalino will | meet tougher scrappers than he has i met in the amateur ranks. Just at . the present time. he has pretty soft | piclsings for fighter in the ranks of | the simon-pures.
 The hest fights We have seen put | up against Battalno were those giv- cn 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.
 Without any doubt at all. Batta- fino would be a great attraction in Connecticut, at least. as a profess SiOnal Inst hnw far ho would %
