BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Sports Editor

: NEW YORK, Nov. 3. U.P)-The
featherweight championship Of the
world which has lost prestige since
Terry McGovern's day, may be
restored as a ring title Of real
worth as q result of tonights 10
round bout between Kid Chocolate
of Cuba and FiGel La Barba of
California.
While this is not a fight for the
championship, the winner will be
recognized as the best man IN the
l26 pound division. and Will to

honor against Bud Taylor of Terre

The present SO called Champion
of the featherweights is a little

Bat Battalino, who came into pos
session of the technical title as a

OF France. AS Routis' manager be-
came Battalino's manager immed-
lately after the fight, some doubt
as to Battalino's real worth has ex-
listed in the minds of fight fans
ever since.
There is little doubt that Choco-
late and La Barba are the class OF
the division. both game. clean GU;
little fighting men who should do
something to restore to the fight

prestige.
The Cuban has been defeated
but once in . remarkable ring
career which has netted him some
s25c,000 il the course Of two yearss
Jack Kid Berg won a doubtful
decision from the Kid at Yankee
stadium, in a bout which might
better have been called a draw. The
Cuban took that decision to heart
and announced his retirement. but
has returned to seek further hon
ors and dollars. He still has most
of the s250000, as well as rs suits
Of clothes and nine gold watches.
Chocolate Favored
La Barba, former flvWe o n I
champion Of the world. retired to
study medicine, but decided there
was more money in pounding ana
tonnes than in studying them.
Chocolate. who has been train
ing at Orangeburg, arrived Sunday
apparently in first class shape. el-

ACT OF VIOLENCE
/ OPENS MILK STRIKE
Trouble Started by Firing on
: Truck-Check-0ff System
Is Main Issue.
Nv the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY. August 14.-Organized
producers of pasteurized milk went on
strike today, the second time in 10
months, demanding a check-of system
and arbitration of other disputed points.
The strike was inaugurated by an act
of violence, the firing upon 1000
gallon thermos truck en- route to market.
One bullet punctured the steel con-
tainer.
Demands {, the Pure Milk Producers
Association, the striking group, are al
most identical with those of 10 months
ago. BY the check-off plan the dis
tributing plants would retain cents
from the price paid for each 100 pounds
of milk. RENTING the money together
with a statement of the amount OF milk
purchased, to the association.
Opinion differed as to what effect the
strike would have on the city's milk
supply. H. E. Dinlinger, secretary of
the Producers Association, said the
organization controlled 80 per cent of
the pasteurized supply. The City Health
Department estimated that 81 per cent
of the milk consumed was not
paSteurized.
Pasteurizers declared the consumer
would not be affected by the strike, ex-
planning that new sources of supply
would be tapped.
Approximately 1900 members were
said to belong to the striking organiza-
ton.
