Shea, boosting successive victories over Fidel Labarba and Champion Bat Battalino, is returning to New York after an exile of six years, and has been established as an 8 to 5 favorite to defeat the Europena flash.
 That Rosenberg Thing
 The Chicagoan has engaged in 100 bouts during the past seven years, winning 72 by knockouts and losing only three decisions. One of the defeats-a four-round knockout by Champion Phil Rosenberg in 1925-almost ended Shea's ring ca reer, There was little doubt that Shea was better than the champion and when he went out in the fourth round, as the "wise money" had wagered he would, Shea drew a dife suspension by the New York Athletic commission.
 Rosenberg was backed by group gunmen-which incidentally Is the same ''mob' now reputed to be in- terested in Francis-and these gum men were reported to have visited the Shea dressing room and convin- ced Eddie that it would be highly dangerous for him to answer the fifth round bell. Although the Rosen- berg "mob" was well known, the Boxing commission took no action against the champion or his packers, but was content to punish Shea, then a 1S-year-old boy.
 At the Top
 Since the Rosenberg fiasco, Shea has changed managers and earned recognition as the best of the Italians who now rule the 126-pound class. A victory over Francis, following his recent triumph over Labarba and a 10-round decision over Champion Battalino in a non-title bout at Chi cago, virtually will assume Shea of a chance at Battalino's title in an out door bout this summer.
 With Shea, Battalino and Francis the current topnotchers in the featherweight division, the midget class now is ruled exclusively by Italians.
 It's MT Donofrio
 Shea. although sporting an Irish ring name, was born Eddie Donofrio -one of a family of 16 children. Battalino is an American born Ital- ian while Francis is native of Na- ples, Italy.
 The other featherweight leaders, Labarba and Earl Maestro, also a:e true sons of Mussolini, with Kid Chocolate, now temporarily retired, as the only Outsider" in the di- !. vision.

 IN SERIES OPENER
Locals Drop 36-zl Verdict in Capital City-Butkus, Stokes and Pascavage Show With Locals

Hartford, Feb 18.-The Hartford Knights of Lithuania repulsed an- other annual effort of the Water bury K. of L. last night at the Holy Trinity school gym. The score was 36 to 21.
 Each year these two teams play a home and home series, but Water- bury has never been able to out point the Hartford team. Last nights affair was more a roughouse than a basketball game. Both sides were guilty and the unusually small court made matters worse.
 Waterbury never had much of a chance to win after the first quarter despite the absence from the Hart ford lineup of Earl Bennett. Bill Shages, who filled in for Bennett, did a creditable job ana the other Hartford Knights were in scoring mood.
 Waterbury Leads Early.
 Waterbury's lineup included three former NAugatuck high stars-But- kus, Stokes and Poscavage-butn not even these players could hold the fast pace set by the Hartford team. Hartford was trailing by 45 at the close of |. fast first quarter. but after that it was Waterbury that did all the trailing.
 Bill Shages started the Hartford Knights off with two field goals at the outset of the second quarter and Malin added another. Butkus dropped one in for Waterbury, but Charley shimkus came back with three foul line shots and Malin found the ring again just before the half ended, giving Hartford a 15-7 advantage.
 With Charley Shimkus leading the offense, Hartford worked up an un- beatable lead in the third quarter, which closed with Waterbury on the short end of a 1929 score. The last quarter was jammed with rough tac-
