FERNANDEzLEAVES
 THE WEST COAST
Coming to Hartford for Title
 Meet With Bat Battalin0

Hartford. July 3-Ignacio Fernan- deg, who will meet Bat Battalion of Hartford in a worlds featherweight cham pionship bout at the Hurley Eelodrome in East Hartford on the night Of July 14. left California yesterday for the battle-ground
 The doughty little Filipino signed for the title scrap the first of the week, certain differences which had arisen over the provisions of the match having been adjusted,
 It has been agreed that fifteen rounds shall be the duration of the battle-that is, barring a knockout, and in this agreement Fernandez is getting his wish. State Athletic Com missioner Tom Donohue sometime ago decreed that all title bouts in this state should be of fifteen rounds, but the Battalino camp said to be hopeful of having it set for twelve rounds.
 Fernandez welcomes long fights: he has fought several twenty-round battles and has even travelled the twenty-five round route, stamina being one of his virtures.
 He will train in Hartford where Battalino has already started his training. Fernandez will have more time to prepare for this title event than he had for his other bout with Battalino which was staged in the i Hartford armory last winter. On l that occasion, he arrived here from the coast but short time before the bout and had some trouble getting used 10 the chill of New England after the mild climate of the Pacific slopes.
 Battalino Is working hard to get into perfect shape for his defense ot the title. Among other things, he IS saving wood. taking a leaf from the book of the former Kaiser who gets all his exercise that way.
 The champion was on the moor in his other meeting with Fernan- deg but expects to reverse the order of things in that respect this time

League Standing

First place in the Industrial Base ball league will be at stake tonight at 5:3O o'clock at Walnut Hill park when the P. & F. Corbin team. pace-makers in the circuit, meet the GaScos, one of the teams that is standing close on the heels of both Corbins and Landers This will be one of the two scheduled games in the league tonight. It will be played on Diamond No. ?. The other which takes place on Diamond No. l will bring together the two lowest placed clubs in the circuit, Stanley Works and New Britain Machine.
 The Fafnir Bearing crew last night sprung surprising upset when it defeated the Corbin team s 10 5 in close and exciting battle. This put the Corbin team only a matter of points ahead of both Landers and the Gascos in the race for the pennant.
 Account of Game
 Rallies that netted the Fafnir Dragons five runs in the first two innings proved too much for the ?. & F. Corbin team to oyercome Q last night at Walnut Hill park and as a result the Industrial league leaders lost their second game of the season 5 to 5.
 The game was a desperately fought affair until the final inning but the jump the Dragons got in the early innings always gave them a commanding lead. As was the case last season when the Bearing Max CTS won the league championship, Lefty" Habcr was the big gun for the Dragons and by his fine pitch ing and hitting enabled the Fafnir outfit to come through.
 Throughout the game the fielding of each team vergod on the scnsa tional. In the first inning Joe lip ka, playing second base for Cor bins, made the greatest stop we have . ever seen at Walnut Hill park when he dove for Ferguson's hard ground"r and nailed il with his eloved hand. He got 10 his feet in time to throw the runner ont at first. This was also noteworthy feat.
 The air of cr-ConfidenCo which has marked the Corbin team all sea son was soon washed away when . the Dragons piled up two runs ir the first inning, The team was stil at sea in the second and the Fafnil outfit laid in three more tallins. The irit CF lro T stored, however, in the third frame when they tallied three times anc from this point on the teams battleG [ evenly.
 "Wink' Ventura started the Drag. ons in the right direction when ht opened the game with a single tc left. Jim O'Brien sacrificed him tc second. Krause hit high fly over the pitchers box and Gray stepped aside 10 allow one of his inticlder! 10 take it. They were all slow 1T going after the ball and finally Lip ka muffed it, allowing the batter tc reach first.
 Both runners advanced a base or Llpka's brilliant stop of Ferguson . bIlNt ana they idlIlel when HdDe. parked a hit in center field.
 The Corbin team threatened in it! half of the inning but the rally wa checked by splendid double play Jasper hit safely to open the innins and reached second when Haber at tempted to throw him out wher Preisser bunted, The play was clos but Umpire Jim Mahor held tha Bucheri did not have his foot on thu
