 -Zotter Loses; Thomas Wins

The Bat Battalino-Jules Sombathy bout, which featured a rather weak boxing card at the Foot Guard hall In Hartford last night. vas a disap- pointment. Neither of the two bat tiers showed much form, the Bridge port boy going into clinches too often even to suit the most blase boxing fan. while the Bat himself was un- impressive and failed to land any thing that looked like | sleeper" The Bat got the decision after ten slow rounds which were featured in the most part with . display of foot work, clinches and little leading.
 The best battle of the evening was six round bout between Mickey Roberts and Brownie Tucker. It looked like draw, but Referee George Proto gave the decision to Roberts and it was evident that he was influenced in his decision by Fuckers stallinE in many instances of the melee. It was q slashing, punch for punch affair and it looked like Roberts had only two of the six rounds. There was some fast work here and there and the fight kept the crowd. on edge until the final bell was sounded.
 The worst fight of the evening was the six-round windup between Joe Zotter of this city and Zeke Maxur of Hartford. Both assumed boxing poses for the most part and neither felt inclined to lead. Zotter did most of the leading in the early rounds, as much as there was of it. and land ed a few clean punches, but failed to follow up on his opponent. In the fifth Mazur got the better of Zotter and succession of body and head punches sent Zotter for q count of nine. The last round was spiced with some fast work and the decision went to Mazer.
 Joey Flynn of Hartford won a four round decision over Steve Shubert of Bridgeport. In the fourth Shubert found himself on the floor, com. pletely dazed from vicious right to the jaw after putting up . wonder full battle for three rounds, and the referee was counting him out at the bell. He had to be supported to his corner.
 Johnny Barra of this city was easily outpointed in a four rounder by Eddie Reed. Kid Thomas, another New Britainite knocked out Herman Fink of Hartford in the first round of a scheduled four-rounder. the referee stopping the bout to save the Hartford lad from unnecessary pun. ishment.

Representative and Mrs. Sol Bloom
Complete Rome Visit; NOU In Florence
Miss Bloom Writes Enter
tainingly of Roman Elk
periences While Copy
right Conference Was
In Progress


Representative and Mrs.
Sol Bloom and Miss Vera
Bloom have gone to Florence
from Rome, where they have
been since the opening of the
international copyright con-
ference, to which Mr.. Bloom
was a delegate.
When Mr.. Bloom was ap-
pointed by the President to
represent the United States
at this important conclave,
he and his family left WASH
ington at q moments notice
and, even so, it was only by
whirlwind travelling that Mr..
Bloom was able to reach
Rome In time for the opening
session. He had wired from
the ship to the port authori-
ties at Naples for permission
to 60 ashore in the police
launch, and so managed to
catch the Rome express, ar
irving at the conference with
less than 10 minutes to spare.
Mrs. Bloom and her daughter
followed on q later train,
with the luggage.
Roman Magnificence
Their several weeks in Rome
were very full, but very delights
full. They were involved in al
manner of small parties among
the diplomatic group, and the
official entertaining In connec-
ton with the conference was
more magnificent than would be
possible elsewhere, as the back
ground Of one Roman palace is
more gorgeous than another.
Moreover, guards and footmen
wear uniforms straight out of >
fairy tale.
The Duce Host
In contrast to so much splendor,
Mussolini had a delightfully."-
simple garden party at his Villa
Torlonia for the delegates, with
only a Fascist guard Of honor
lining the grand staircase to give
the official touch.
Miss Bloom, whose acquaintance
with the Duce is Of long standing
and who has written interviews
with him on several occasions for
italian and American papers, had
q 40-minutes' talk with him shortly
after her arrival and was hoping
TO be- given another appointment
before she left Rome.
So many Of the embassies ana
legations in Rome are housed in
beautiful old palazzos that, Miss
Bloom writes, guests can't. resist
the temptation Of spending half
their time gazing up at the mar.
Velous frescoed ceilings or down
at the fine marble floors. The

Tennis Ro1U Breaks Out OUer Plan of T1lden and
Others to Mingle With Jai ALai Professionals

Betting on the games is conduct
ed much in the same manner as
that on horses. The bettor picks
his man against the field.
Persons who arranged the exhi-
bition tennis matches reported that
objection was raised to staging
u. S. L. T. A. matches in conjunc-
ton with other contests which in
volve professionalism and open
betting.
It was learned that the associa-
ton had withheld final sanction Of
the matches. Now it is proposed
either to call off the jai ALA for
one night or find another place to
stage the matches.
Tilden was not available today
for comment on the situation, hav-
ing gone to Kansas City with the
intention of returning Friday.
The association is expected to con-
slider him in another matter, which
may have much to do with the
United States ranking in the next
Davis cup tournament.
It was reported that Bill and
Francis Hunter plan to go abroad
in May and be absent when the
Davis matches are played in the
American zone. That would take
two of Americas best tennis players
out of the Davis cup competition.
