BATTALINO AND CONQUEROR MEET
 AGAIN TUESDAY

Hartford, Sept 11-Eddie Shea. who was the author of the only real beating ever administered to Bat Battalino in the featherweight career first as an anna teur and then as professional, in-. sists he will repeat the dose when he gets into the ring with the champion at the Hurley stadium next Tuesday night.
 "This time a knockout" says Shea in discussing this second 
 That is familiar boast of box CTS in pre- battle statements, but Shea, can say this with good justi- fication for he ripped and slashed at the champion out in Chicago last winter and had Battalino swaying and wobbly under the barrage. In the tenth round it seemed that Bat was due to go down, but his courage plus a great physical equipment kept him go- ing to the final bell.
 Down to Weight
 Shea will face an entirely dif- ferent fighter this time; the cham- pion was overweight when he fought Shea at Chicago and 1t was unquestionably serious handicap. Bat weighed 132 while this time he will be around 128.
 He never was more anxious to win a bout and he has trained for this battle just as intensively as though the title was to be at stake. He will be in great physical con- dition and the boxing world knows that he is a great fighter when down to proper fighting form.
 There is great interest in the fight and already brisk demand for tickets indicating the banner gate of the summer in Hartford.
 Matchmaker Ed Hurley has ar- ranged an attractive undercard. Tn the semi-f1nal, Eddie Reilly of New York who has won every fight since he was annexed to the Bat talino stable, meets Koshover of This will be an eight There will be another eight, one six rounder and two of four rounds each.

 The critics changed their mind about Doeg's chances yesterday when he followed up his victory over Bryan Grant with a decisive win over Frank Shields, New York Davis cup star and seeded No. ? in the tournament. In whipping Shields, Doeg proved that although he may be a dub in the smaller tournaments, he is torment when the stakes are high.
 Doing Nicely
 Lott, however, is not without his packers. The ffery-tempered Philadelphian started the tourna- ment determined to establish him. self as a first class singles player. So far he has succeeded admir- ably. The Philadelphian proved he was a gamester of the highest or- der when, after losing the first two sets to Johnny Van Ryn yesterday, he came back with a tremendous surge to run out the next three sets. His comeback was all the more remarkable in the light of Van Ryn's performance in the two sets he won. Johnny simply blast ed Lott off the court with an as- sortment of shots that was almost unbelievable in accuracy and power.
 Youth Plus Ability
 The other semi-fina1 match pits Ellsworth Vines, the California comet, against Fred Perry, bril- liant young British International ist. Vines showed he was on top of his game by eliminating Berke- ley Bell in three straight sets in quarter final tiff. Vines, however. showed little more tennis in trouncing Bell than did Perry in breeding to an easy triumph over Frank Bowden. the New York "dark horse'' who eliminated Sid- ney B. Wood, Davis cup ace, in the third round.
 Neither Perry nor Vines have been forced to turn on the pres sure. Both of them will have to travel at top speed to-day.

BY JEROME H. (DIZZY) DEAN

Just why Street didn't use me any more I never could figure, but the game I beat the Pirates cinched the flag for us so guess that was the reason. Anyhow, was learn ing a lot.
 Joe sugden was elected as my roommate. Now I like Joe a lot; he is a fine guy, but his idea of what a big leaguer should do is 20 years old. If I wanted a date, Joe said no, better stay in. If I came in late he wanted to know where I was. And imagine this-Joe figured 9:30 was late.
 While Joe and l never actually fought, we did have some rows. He wouldn't believe me couple ot times when showed him my watch which said 9:15. He al ways pulled out his own dollar timepiece and said:
 "No, Dizzy, either your watch stopped or someone set 1t back while you wasn't looking. My watch says it is 2 a. m.'
 Just Wait Till Next Year
 When world series time came, the players were excited and talk ing about whether Cochrane could hit a curve or if Foxx was a good fast ball hitter and whether Groves curve was as good as Hal lahan's and lal that. This got un- der my hide.
 "You birds next year won't be talking about whether one guy s curves are as good as others" l said. "You'll be making bets on how bad this Dean kid beats the As instead"
 Disguised and out of sorts, de- cided not to stay and see the world series. With me not in 1t, it was inst A ball game anyway, so de- cided to go down to St Joe Tor a while.
