The defeat of Bat Battalino, worlds featherweight champion, by Bud Taylor, Terre Haute terrier, in Detroit last night, makes one won- der if the Hartford boy is really a cheese champion" as many New York scribes and others have hint ed.

Taylor, the man who beat hin last night. was the first good feath- erWeight Battalino has met since he defeated Andre Routis for the championship in Hartford this past season. Taylor's victory was not totally decisive and the bout itself was not for the championship.

The mathematical puzzle has even led to the suggestion that Mapping should have failed to show up for the game, in which instance New Britain would have won by 20. And a two-point margin would not have been enough for the locals to win and would have given Mapping the title,
New Britain herald., 1930-03-21

The outcome of the fight in De- trot brings us back to the night that Battalino fought Fernandez in Hartford. Then it seemed to US that Battalino was either pulling his punches for fear that he might again break his brittle hands. or he had lost that terrific sock that brought him as an amateur, to tho top of the pile.
New Britain herald., 1930-03-21

There was more interest at the New Britain-Wapping game We'd nesday night in what margin New Britain needed than in who had made the last basket or would make the next. The Mapping supporters kept raising their estimates, start ing at five and finally reaching eight, bu the 11-point gap piled up by the locals outstripped all their claims.
New Britain herald., 1930-03-21

Battalino failed to hurt Taylor last night. Once again he forced the fighting instead of boxing his opponent and, once again, he re- ceived the worst of it. He will learn sometime, perhaps, that it doesn't pay to step into these boys who really know ring warfare from A to z.
 We fear greatly for Battalnos championship and diamond studded belt, should he ever meet up with Kid Chocolate, the sensational Cu- ban.
 Primo Camera is another fighter who has caused us to wonder. Not that he appears to be a coming worlds champion, but because we arc waiting. patiently for the time when he will be matched with d fighter. He has. met Q string of nalookas so far and he has scorei

 We want to sec how Camera, man mountain that he is, will stand I'D under the punching of a real fighter. one of those fellows who doesn't wilt under the first solid punch on the chin. Then one could tell a great deal better about wheth- CT he has the stuff or not.

 He got a considerable amount of the fluid that turns to sugar and immediately he went to the kitchen 10 boil it down. While the concoc- tion was stewing, some dastardly scoundrel stole in and poured a lot of glue into the pan. Harry re- turned and found the gelatinous mass and was sure he had sugar. He took a mouthful and nearly. had heart failure and lock jaw together
 Here's one for the books. Last Saturday the Tigers, champs of the "Y' Basketball league, journeyed to Saybrook to play the town team which had won 27 out of 29 games.
 Just six players made the trip, there being no scorekeeper or tim- CT. As a result the extra player during each half kept score.
 After the game, the local players paid no attention to the score, be- ing under the impression that they had been defeated and they were not interested in the margin of Say brooks victory.
 To their friends here, they re- marked that they had been defeated by few points. Finally Abe" Aronson, captain of the team, dur ing a few idle moments looked over the scorebooll and received the sur prise of his life upon adding up the score.
 Instead of being defeated the Ti- gers had won the battle by s 10 52 score but it would never have been known if Aronson had not cas ually glanced over the scorebook.

As Jack Britton remarked, no fighter, even one as tough as Fer nandez is known to be, could stand up under the terrific facing handed him by Battalino, without going down-if Battalino was the devas- 'ating puncher he has always been toutcd to be.

 Both the Veterans Of Foreign Wars and tho communists made efforts in advance to avoid a clash. Officers of the veterans directed their men 10 leave the square promptly at the close Of the rally and the commun- ists' leaders ordered their followers to stay out of the square until their meeting was called.
