 But this time title will be a stake, Battalino defending his worlds featherweight championship for the first time since he wrestAc the crown from Andre Routis at tn Nelodrome last September.
 The promise of another gres battle between the Hartford cham pion and the doughty invader iron the Philippines and several othei circumstances. among them the at tendance of many notables including Governor Trumbull, forecast the premier ring event of the summer in Connecticut
 Fernandez will detrain here Sur day. having left the Pacific coast en Tuesday; he signed the articles out thereon Monday and then the fol- lowing day hoped a train for the east. His contract came to Hartford by air mail and arrived here yester- day 4 hours before the scheduled arrival of the contender himself.
 The Filipino will work out at the St. Nicholas gym where Battalino has been working out for more than 8 week. The first few days of his training found the champion devot- ing himself to the physical side. He of the scheme to shed some extra poundage and to harden his muscles and Trainer Lenny Marello says he broke the wood saving record set up by the eX-kaiser at Doorn last sum- mer.
 Thursday Bat started boxing a the St. Nick and he will box every day until Saturday of next week. Then his intensive training will be at an end; Sunday he will confine himself to hmberng-up exercises and Monday will go to the scales.
 The Battalino- Fernandez scrap al the Hartford state armory will be long remembered by all who saw it. The first few rounds had a menac- ing cast for the champion; he was down for eight in the third round and was groggy and wobbly for the fourth and fifth. Then he cleared up and stepped out to punch his way to victory
 Fernandez is one of the hardest hitters among the small boys now active in the ring.
