 Battalino has never worked any harder in preparation for a ring bat tie. Some three weeks ago-as soon as the match was projeCter and well before it had been definitely arrang- ed-he started getting in trim phys ically and it has been a steady, faithful grind.

 Bill Ferguson of the Fafnir tearl also pulled Iris Speaker in cent 1T field when he caught Nojack's fly off his shoe tops on an almost i'm possible play and then threw to first to catch Barnes in a double play.
 All hail to the courage anI tenacity of Bill Kenure, Fafnir catcher. In the fifth inning, he ducN- ed squarely into one of Carlson's fast shoots and although safe at first, he was knocked out for sever al minutes while lump, the size cf an apple registered itself on his scalp just where the hair meets tn , forehead. He was taken behind the bleachers out of the sun and prepar- ations were made to send in Belaa- ger to substitute for him. When the I7afnir side was retired, howevec, Kenure came forward, donned his catching gear and refused to be ua- nied the right to continue the game.
 Barnes timely clout in the eighth not only won the ball game for his mates, but it paid up for Barnes himself for a miserable error in the second inning that gave Fafnl-s their first run. Lefty Haber sent q long, hard out high clout into right field. Barnes vas camped un- der the ball but he barely misjudgel it. The ball was high and although he got both his hands on it, il bounced past him and Haber made the circuit before it was returned 10 the diamond. The hit was an error for Barnes and should have been a rutout.
 This run looked mighty big for the Fafnir team because of the su- perb work of Haber in the box. ln the fourth inalng. however, a storm broke about him. Dudack was thrown out at first by Haber. Frankie Sheehan lined hit through first and second. Klatka hit one in the same place, the ball taking a lad hop over Walicki's head and Sheehan made third. klatha went 10 steal second and Kenure threw wildly to get him. Sheehan scored and klatka went 10 third. Barnes walked and rtole second. Wojac|, sent a long fly to center field and klatka came in on the throw. Fields was out at first. This gave the Gas cos q tWo-run lead.
 Fafnirs got one back in the fifth after Kenure was hit. Belanger ran for him. Ventura sacrificed him down and O'Brien singled to bring him home. The score was tied in the sixth when k!atka dropped throw from Wojacl< to get kanil at first. Kania took second on the blocke l ball. Bucheri hit the center field fence scoring kania.
 The Gascos got another in the last of the seventh when Wojack was safe on Walicki s error. Fields sac rificed him and Restelli poked single over second to score him.

 As the challenger punches the small bag during his workout at the Hart Tourist Camp on the Berlin turnpike, he gives onlookers a good idea of just how hard he can hit, driving the bag against the platform so hard that the platform sways and rocks under the impact.

TORONTO COMBINE
 CAUSING TROUBLE
Leafs Win 18th Victory From
 Jersey City

By the Associated Press.
 A month of brilliant play once more has carried the Toronto Maple Leafs into a position where they are giving the International leagues leaders. Baltimore and Rochester, cause for serious worry.
 Nosing out Jersey City 10 in a great pitchers battle yesterday. the Leafs won their 26th victory in 36 games. That figures out as ,722 base. ball. good enough. if maintained. to win the pennant in most any league
 Dave Miner of Jersey City gave Sam Gibson a hot argument all the way down the line in yesterdays en- counter but the Leafs managed 10 win out in the seventh inning Joe Harris, who used to murder curve balls in the majors, walked to start the frame and went to second on an infield out. Here Pete Cote inserted d single that scored Harris from second and gave the Leafs the only run of the game. Miner allowed seven hits while Gibson was reached for only two, a single by Vera in the second and another by Walker put the Leafs within one game of the second place Redwings with Baltimore only step ahead. Rochester bowed to Reading. to because Berly couldn't keep his home-run ball away from Scott and Davis. Scott connected for a round trip wallop with two on in the first inning and Daivs with one on in the fourth. Berly was touched for only six hits in the seven innings he worked but as related, the Keys made full use of their opportunities. Bill McAfee. recruit hurier from the University of Michigan, kept Roches- ter's seven hits we'll scattered. Roy Parnalee was wild and in effective and Newark bowed to Mon treal 9-7. The Royals took advan- tage of four passes and a hit bats man and an error by Parmalee him. self. Montreal scored six runs in the third inning but Newark tied the count at 7-all in the first half of the eighth. Chambers had relieved Par malee in the fourth and had him. self removed in favor of Faulkner who failed to hold the Royals in the last half of the eighth when the Canadians scored two runs and won the game.
 Baltimore lost chance to in crease it's lead over Rochester as Buffalo slugged out an easy 10-7 de- cision in night game. The defeat left Baltimore holding on to its one game margin over Rochester. The game was not nearly so close as the score would indicate. The Bisons pounded Roy for three runs in the first inning and two in the second and later added three in the fifth and two in the sixth. Freddy Russell. former Pittsburgh Pirate southpaw, had only one bad frame. the second when the Orioles scored four runs.

A ripple of excitement is passing among the fight fans. especially those who are planning to see Bat Batta- limo defend his worlds featherweight title against Ignacio Fernandez at the Hurley stadium in East Hartford Monday night, over the announce n1ent that Battalino has refused to Y. allow Promoter Ed Hurley to see how much he weighs and the sub- sequent inference that Battalino is having plenty of difficulty in making the prescribed featherweight limit of 12s pounds.

 Battalino calls attention to the fact that he has a weight forfeit : posted which he will lose if he comes in over 126 pounds. He declares that he will weigh within the feather weight limit and will do so before Monday afternoon at weighing in time.
 Bat apparently isn't worrying. He Is working out daily at the St. Nicholas gymnasium and is training faithfully for the bout Monday night Crowds still persist in gathering at Hart's tourist camp on the Berlin Hartford road to see Fernandez go through his paces. The Filipino is showing great form there and he ap- parently is in the best shape possible , for a gruelling match on Monday night.
 About everything possible hap pened in the Gasco- Fafnir ball game last night. Earnest hit a home run to win the game. Bill Kenure got hit in the head and was temporarily knocked out. "Huggy' Carlson made . a diving catch which is considered one of the greatest on record.
