Whats This Pals
 Shires Reformed?
By Ham Fisher

St Paul, Minn, May 20.-(UP)-- Art Gust minor leaguer) Shires announced again to-day that he had reformed"
 He said he wanted "to tell the world-in whispers please" that he is through with boasting, fighting with managers, e-cracking and excessive use of the first person sim gular.
 The former self-admitted great Chicago White Sox first baseman wants now to be known only as "Shires, first baseman, Milwaukee"
 "Only a minor leaguer or wouldn't be here now" he said.
 "I'd be a sap to think could go from the majors into the minors and burn 'em up. I'm no different from the rest.
 "I'm through with boxing. I'm through with that racket"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-05-20

The hard-hitting Hartford Italian is scheduled to risk his crown in a 15-round bout with Fidel Labarba Of California at Madison Square Garden Friday, and as on the occa- sion of his previous New York title defense, against Kid Chocolate last fall, Battalino to-day was an 8 to 5 underdog in the betting.
 Battalino is in excellent condition for the bout and is confident that he can defeat LaBarba and enrich his Hartford supporters as he did in the Chocolate bout when the Connecti- cut fans "cleaned up by taking the three and four to one "wise money" odds offered in New York.
 Home. Town Hero
 Regarded as a cheese champion" elsewhere, Battalino is an idol in his home town, and more than 1000 Hartford fans are expected to make the trip to New York for the con- test. Battalino has been training at home and New York sports writers who watched his final intensive workout yesterday were favorably has recovered entirely from the britt which handicapped him against Chocolate and appears ready for the battle of his life.
 Although the inactivity forced upon him by broken hands and poor showings against second rate opposi-N ton have cost Battalino considerable prestige, he has a creditable record and may still win recognition as one of the truly great fighters of his day.
 Started Strong
 Battalino, a throw-back to the Battling Nelson type of fighter, started boxing as an amateur in 1925, and won the national amateur featherweight championship in 1927 by knocking out four opponents in less than eight minutes of fighting. He turned pro in 1927 and won the title in his twenty-third professional bout when he took a 15-round deci- sion over Andre Routis of France on Sept 23, 1929. He broke both hands in the Routis bout and did not de- fend the title until July 15, 1880, when he knocked out Ignacio Fer nandez in seven rounds. In his only
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-05-20

other title defense he scored sur- prise triumph over Kid Chocolate.
 Getting It Up?
 LaBarba earned his chance at the featherweight crown by. defeating all of the leading contenders, including Kid Francis, Kid Chocolate, Earl Mastro and Eddie Shea. He was sidetracked for Chocolate last fall and reputedly was forced to guaran- tee Battalino $35,000 to secure Fri- day's bout.

Dark Outlook for
 College Football

New York, May 20.-(UP)-Inter- collegiate athletics have reached their zenith and the huge football stadium of the present will be an un- necessary adjunct of the campus within few years, in the opinion of pr William Mather Lewis, president Of Lafayette college.
 Lewis, who was the principal speaker at the sixth annual dinner of the sportsmanship brotherhood here last night, said that the growing par Ncipation in other former athletics, rather than the depression, was due to the decline in football attendance last year.

Widow.

MONTE CARLO (N.AN.A).-Juan-

two months. and one Of the last re-
manning sun bathers Of the Summer
season Is wearing muslin cuffs on her
bare arms and anklets Of china beads
on her bare legs just as though all
Riviera society were there to see her.
Gambling Is not what 1t was, and one
casino manager was lately In despair
when one Of his best clients. an English
widow, was suddenly seen no more at
the tables. Inquiry evoked the startling
revelation that the inveterate gambler
had turned mystic and spent all her
time brooding over and probing into the
secrets Of the future.
So the manager interviewed with
some eloquence the widows clairvoyant.
who subsequently warned her customer
that she would be ill-advised to spend
the hours from 10 pm to am In soli
tude. Now the lady has returned to the
green cloth tables for the duration of
the danger hours and the casino man
ager Is all the happier.
