eddie LORD TO
MEET TONY LET0
Winner Of Bout Nay Get Chance
at Bat BattalinO Soon

Hartford. March 12.-When Tony
Leto of Tampa. Florida, and Eddie
Lord of Waterbury clash in the fea-
ture bout at the Foot Guard armory
Thursday night, they will be de-
batting for the chance to meet Bat
Battalino at one of the Foot Guard
shows before summer sends the box
crs into the great outdoors.
Leto met Battalino here recently
and had a technical kayo chalked
up against him, but he had the
really sound alibi of having been
travelling through a snow blocked
area all day, arriving in Hartford
but short time before he was
slated to get into the ring.
He showed flashes OF real ring
talent and he had Battalino down
carly in the fight. something that
had never been accomplished since
Bat turned professional.
There are many here who believe
Leto will give Battalino furious
battle if they meet again.
Lord was offered a match with
Battalino many months ago. but he
wasn't ready then: now he is eager
for the chance to get into the ring
against the local knockout king.
Thursday nights bout is set for
ten rounds and real battle is in
prospect. Lord is in fine shape and
there are like reports from Leto's
camp.
Several attractive bouts make up
the UNDERGRAD.

Clearwater, Fla, March IL Up
Where are the hits of yesterday
is the war cry of Brooklyns Robins.
The usual batting practice and prac-
tce game were on the card yester-

investigation revealed that the pitch
crs were throwing curves for the
first time this year and the battcrs
were biting hard.

be fooled. He kept right on with
his heavy hitting in the game be-

seniors"
The youngsters provided the big
sensation of the contest by pulling
a. triple play. Wilson, Richards and

No other player was a unanimous

Layton of Cornell just nosed out his
team mate, Hall, for the other

Comparison with last Seasons
