BATTALlNO FAVORED TO
 DEFEAT FEATHER CHAMP
Title Holder Will Enter Hartford Ring Monday Night as the underdog-Poor Record as Crown Wearer Is One Reason for Hartford Boys Popularity Frenchman Planning Attack On Body - Capital City Idol Has Youth, Strength and Speed Against Veteran.

A strange situation will be pre- sented to the fight fans who will at tend the t"athcrWcight title bout in Hartford Monday night as Andre Routls, of France. foathorwcight champion Of the world. steps into the ring at the Hurley Stadium. to defend his title against Bat Bat talino, idol of Hartford. The title holder will be the under dog in the bout with the chillengcr younger, much more inexperienced fighter. being the fayorite and almost uni vcrsally picked to win.
 Many things enter into the spccu- lation concerning the fight but the main one that puts the challenger ahead of the titl" holder is the poor showing by Routis since he took the championship away from Tony Can Zoneri. Then, on the other hand, BattaIino's long string Of decisive victories climaXed by his dope-spilI- ing win over Al Brown month ego, is another good reason for the present dope.
 Not only in Connecticut but else where, fight critics are picking the Hartford boy to come through and win. Noted writers such as Wilbur Wood, Damon Runyan. William Morris, Ed Van Every Don Skenc. Jimmy Dawson and many others pick Battalino 10 win on the strength of his knockout punch and his youth and speed.
 Locally and stateWiso, Battalino IS a solid taNoritc. Massachusetts will hack Routis, especially Holyoko where the champion is working out in daily training for the bout.
New Britain herald., 1929-09-20

Most of those who are studying the bout from close angles. are in clined to think that Dattalino will win in the first 10 rounds and by a knockout This figuring is all made with accidents barred. The French man is noted as a fast tnsher and if Rattalino does not succeed in taking him in the decade, then Koutis is liable to win.
 Routis keeps pounding away at the bodies of his sparring mates. He is terrific body punisher and l'attalino will have 10 toughen his mid-section to withstand the attack planned by the champion. Routis, it is reported. plans to start immedi- ately on Bartalino's body in the hope that the Hartford boy will weaken under q constant drumming. Four hours of hard boxing yestcr- day tend to prove this theory on he part of the Frcnchman.
 Hattalino. in his Hartford quar- j"rs. has amazed spectators with his excellent form. He is lightning itself, He punches harder than ever and he has been brought o tha; state wherein he is mentally like tiger. He will go after I'outis hammer and tongs is the consensus Of opinion.
 Ed Hurley, promoter. and Boxing Commissioner Thomas F. Donohue both predict that the attendance will break hy wide margin any record for the state. The fight will rot h" broadcast by radio. the pro- moter has announced The ticket '"mand has grown heavier as the date for the bout approaches and
