From the fifth round op, Graham tired fast. He was suffering a pum- meling both on the body and on the lead with Battalino seeking to get over the wallop that would give him a knockout.
 Right to the finish of the bout, Battalino kept puiag up points with his busy fists until at the final bell. Referee Conway raised his hand in token of victory.
 Battalino did some fancy steps in glee after the bout until his handlers got him down from the ring. Ora. ham and his handlers were satisfied that he had been beaten decisively and they were unstinting in their praise of the champion. Preliminaries

 At the start of the baseball sea son, Pittsburgh's prospects were con- sidered to be in q highly doubtful state. The Pirates had to start without the services of Lloyd Waner Nand Pie Traynor, their leading slug gers last year and with q rookie, Gus Suhr, on first base. And they had traded Burleigh Grimes, their most effective pitcher, to Boston.
 But the Pirates have removed a large part of that uncertainty in seven games. With group of doubtful players coming through in remarkable style, they have won six games and lost one and stand second only to the unbeaten New York Giants in the National league r standing.
 Suhr, the rookie, Paul Waner. Adam Comorosky and Rollie Hem- sley all are hitting at 400 clip and standing among the league leaders, and Remy kremer, Larry French and Erwin Bramc have been doing a great job of carrying the pitching burden. Yesterday they had 10 get along without George Grantham as well as the other miss ing members in their delayed home opener but kept right on clouting to beat the st. Louis Cardinals 6 to 1.
 The Giants again were frozen out yesterday, this time at Philadelphia, and the Chicago Cubs, the nearest active threat to Pirate supremacy, had to go F innings to beat the Cincinnati Red 10 ,. Pat Malone's pitching and Hack Wilson's hitting were the features of this clash
 In the third National league game, which opeend the season at Boston, the Brooklyn Robins displayed some of their heavy hitting behind the three hit pitching of Dazzy Vance and defeated the Braves, to l.
 Babe Ruth's first home run of the year and two extra inning games were the leading features of the American league program. The Babe connected for his first four bagger in the seventh inning of the Yankee clash with the Boston Red Sox to give the Tanks a tic. They finally won out, to 2, in the tenth inning after Henry Johnson and Milton Gaston of Boston had staged a great mound duel.
 The Cleveland Indians had to go the same distance to beat their for mer teammate, George Uhle, pitch ing for Detroit, by a to 4 count. Willis Hudln likewise pitched well, but careless fielding by the Indians gave Detroit an early lead and a three run rally in the sixth barely put them into the running.
 Washington's surprising Senators went to the top of the American league, displacing the champion Philadelphia Athletics by a to 4 victory in a nip-and- game. The Athletics took the lead when they staged a four run rally against a rather wild Lloyd Brown in the sixth but Washington came back in two innings to drive old Jack Quinn from the mound with three runs.
 Walter Stewart St. Louis south paw, held the Chicago White Sox in almost complete subjection while the Browns took a to decision. Dave Harris, a rookie from the Pacific coast league who appeared as a pinch hitter. produced both the Chi cago runs with a homer

Sports writers, wherever Warren Slater has chosen to hang his hat, and that has been plenty of places since Warren pitched his slow ball on the Landers playground back in 1909, have given him space in their columns. The activities of a sports nature that he promotes always have had news value.
 Now the sports editor of tho News Press of Glendale. Calf. has taken up his cudgel to defend Slater in the matter of credit for introducing "tapless" basketball. It appears that the writing gentry of Los Angeles featured Sam Berry, basketball coach of the University of Southern California, as the originator of the idea.
 Loyal to the Glendale Y. NJ. c. A. physical director, Don Ashbaugh the Ncws-Press sports editor, wrote burning column recently. under the two column head, Downtown Scribcs Nab Skaters Glory" Warren sent along the clipping, after re- ceiving the Herald's s story of his re- cent victory in the professional squash handball championship.
 From the tone of the write-up, it appears that rivalry exists between Los Angeles and it's neighbors, simi- lar to that traditional spirit that crops out when there is a difference of sports opinion between New Brit ain and Hartford.
 "The big city boys have burst forth with something new again, ' writes Ashbaugh. -Four years after an idea was started in the Suburbs, and three years after it has been in constant use, couple of downtown scribes go into an adjectival fit dish ing out credit elsewhere. It's all about this tapless basketball idea. Two laboring gents of the typewriter clan burst forth in paens of praise for Sam Berry, the Trojan casaba mentor.'
 All of which needs little interpre- tation, even at this distance from the Pacific slope. Tapless basketball is being advocated in this section by Jack Tobin and simply means that the advantage of a. tall center who can get the jump on his man, is can cclled by putting the ball in play from the side lines. The suggestion has been in Spaldings guide for some time.
 Trojan is the name by which Southern California teams are ll.own and 'casaba," the name of q melon, localizes the scene of action to a section where such fruit is produced.
 Returning to the proof of the pud- ding, namely that our own little Warren Slater got the jump on the basketball world by staging the game without jumping centers, the sports writer tells when and how come.
 Tn the spring of 1926" he writes Warren $. Slater, Glendale '. M. C. A. physical director, and inventor Of the fast spreading squash handball game, began looking for ways of speeding up basketball games in bis gym classes.
 ''To cqualize the teams the first thing he did was to eliminate the jump at center. This speeded up the game immeasurably.
 The next year he presented the idea to tho various church leagues >and the system was given a trial. Tho players liked sufficiently so that you couldn't talk those young fcl- lows into playing the old style game according to the regular rules.
 Since 1927 there have been o5t games on regular league schedules played in ths manner staged on the "Y" gym floor. There have been hun. drcds of others in gym classes and 1T

Bat Battalino, worlds champion Of all the featherweights. emerged from the unknown class last night in the ring at the state armory in Hartford and handed Bushy Gra- ham of Utica, N. r., considered a logical contender for the feather weight crown, the worst licking of lis career over a 10-round route. With even his closest admirers proving themselves only fair wealth CT friends during the past two weeks because they publicly figured that Graham was easily his master, the Hartford east sider, came back from a knockdown in the fourth round to win a decision that was a mile long and a furlong wide.
 Referee Billy Conway gave every round, with the exception of the fourth, to the champion. It was in the fourth that Graham, after send ing over a blow that was foul and painful to Battalino, caught Bat with a right smash on the jaw. Bat talino went down and remained there for the count of nine but he didn't appear to be hurt. After that. Graham tired fast and Bat talino was all over him.
 Following the fight, Graham and Eattalino shook hands and Graham said to Battalino, Bat, you'll trounce Kid Chocolate whenever you meet him." Graham's praise of the champion was loud and long. He said that Battalino was great fighter and a surprise to him. He was led to believe that Bat lacked both ability and punch. He found out differently last night.
 Tte battle was fought before ap- proximately 1000 patrons last night Every one of them got their moneys worth in the battle that topped J card of good lights.
 Battalino started fast and took the first round by a wide margin Grahams dancing style didn't seem to puzzle the champion in the least and he crowded the challenger all through the session. Graham sem over two punches in this round while Battalino crashed plenty oi lefts and several hard rights to the head and body. Graham was clever | ly rolling with all the punches and they failed to do any great damage In the second round, Graham opened up faster than he did in the first but his pace wasn't fast enough for Battalino. Graham got over some good punches to the face ii this canto, onc left in particular staggering Ba.talino. Bat crowded Bushy to the ropes and delivered terrific punishment while in the corners.
 In the third, Battalino went a: Graham like a tiger. He literally chased the Utica boy all around thF ring seeking to get in q knockou, | punch. He opened d cut over Ora hams left eye and the blood flowed down his cheek. Graham got ir very few punches during the round
 In the fourth round, after spar ring around for a minute Graham unlcased a terrific left uppercut ant the blow was q palpablcs foul, Ref cree Conway warned Graham tha another blow like it would end ths fight but Battalino punched througl aving Conway away. He wanted : to fight although he appeared to b. ir pain. They started again without a rest and suddenly. Graham let g. D right and Battalino caught it or the chin. He dropped to the floo' and stayed there for the count D rine, smiling reassurance at hi handlers in the corner. When h; arose, Graham, sensing a knockout was after him, but he couldn't rcaci Battalino.
