REILLY TRIES TO
 HEAL BAT-MALLEY
 BREACH BUT FAILS
Fine Looking Card of Fights Set for TO-mor- row Night at Hartford Zazzarino, Payne, Pilk- ingtOn Show

Hartford. March 5-Pete Reilly. phoning from Miami yesterday. sug- gested that the olive branch be waved somewhere in the chasm which at this writing separates Bat Battalino, the featherweight cham rion, and his manager since the earliest days of Bats career, lily Malley.
 The suggestion was relayed to both fighter and skipper and Malley expressed a commendable willing ress to adjust things, but Battalino is adamant (which is big word for q boxing story) and there is no less ening of the gap.
 No Like lily
 Bat insists he will not have Malley in his corner Friday night despite advice from Reilly over the long distance phone that the "kid stuff' be dropped, the breach heeled and Mallev back in charge of train- ing and in the champions corner Friday night. when Bat fights Young Zazzarino at the state ar- mory.
 Other interesting things Reilly had to say were that Bats projected SoiSPSaH SiiP IS doned and that he .favors another Battalino-Kaplan bout if Bat wins Gecisively over Zazzarino.
 It's War
 Battalino and Malley returned from the Shea bout at Chicago ap- parently on good terms, but there came flare-up two weeks ago and the champion is going through the pre-battle paces under the sole guid- ance of his trainer and chum, Lenny Marello.
 Both Bat and Zazzarino had their last hard workouts at the St Nick gym yesterday. It was Zazzarino's s first viewing locally and he im- pressed the fans with his aggressive ness, speed and punch.
 The champion and the Jersey in- vader are in good shape and a great Lattle is predicted.
 In the Air
 Cecil Payne, who meets Jackie Pilkington in the semi-final, and ZaZzarino will be heard briefly to- night. over WTIC at 6 o'clock in the usual Thursday night sports talk.
 Both the star bout and the semi- final are ten rounds; then there is six and three four-rounders.

Derwin of department under whose supervision the tourney will be staged. It will be known as the American Legion scholastic free throw championships.
 BARNEY" WILL HELP

The committee on school activities has granted permis- sion to conduct the affair among the grammar schools. and the qualifying round is scheduled to get underway this week. In order to qualify, a boy must score IS successful shots out of 40 tries.
 Members of the various grammar school basketball squads are eligible to compete as are any boys of gram mar school age.

Frank wykoff is the lad. To some he is known as the Glendale grey hound. He is working out regular ly these afternoons on Bovard field under the blazing Southern Cali fornia sun.
 Whether it be firing the starting gun or snapping the stop-watch at the end of brisk dash, Dean Crom- well, Southern California track coach, is there to see that Wykoff does just the right amount of this and the right amount of that in his preliminary training. Cromwell visions a perfect record for his fly CT this season-something he nar- rowly missed last year.
 Started Young.
 hat outing with his Sunday school
 That outing with his Sunday school mates gave Wykoff his first taste of racing competition. He won the dash for youngsters of his own age and finished third in the open competition. Later he won the sprint championship of his grammar school, so that his reputation for speed preceded his enrolment in Glendale high.
 Under Normal Hayhurst. Glendale mentor, Wykoff became the school boy sensation you remember from the 1928 Olympics and the trial events preceding that affair. Sever al times he was caught in 9 3-5 sec onds, but this was largely attributed to the inaccuracies of high school timers and not until he had defeated Charley Paddock in the Olympic trials was he actually recognized as a prospective champion.
 The Glendale boy went to the post in 22 races last year. Of these he won 20, tied for first in one and finished second in the other. His slowest time for the century was 4-5 seconds. Twice he ran in the worlds record time of g 2-5 seconds.
 Hec Dyer, the lanky Stanford sprinter, gave Wykoff his only beat ing of the year early last April. Dyer beat the Southern Californian to the tape in the century in 9 3-5 seconds. An hour later they hooked up in a dead heat in the finals of the 220-yard dash, which went in 21 9-5 seconds.
 Likes to Win.
 A horse which apparently could not realize the value to this country OI WykOlI SleHuer legs klCkeu nlIIl last summer, injuring his ankle. It was the same leg Wykoff had broken whon as an adventurous youth he fell out of tree. For a time it was feared that this new injury would lessen the Trojan stars speed, bue he recently cleared this up in rigorous tests which proved the in- jured pedal as fit as ever.
 Wykoff is proud of his records. He hopes he won't lose a race this year.
 T can't afford to get beat now for I've got q reputation to uphold" he told friends recently. "I SUD- pose every other sprinter in the country is looking forward to the Olympic games, too, but they'll have to run pretty fast to beat me be- cauge I've got hunch that I'll be at my peak in 1882"
 And if we believe the young man, | it means that we probably will hear of some more speed records being | broken.

More important than their for rner meeting in Maloney's home town, the bout rises to unusual in- terest in view of Cameras prom ised meeting with the victor in the schmeling-Stribling title battle in June and the determination of the Boston frishman to slug his oppon- ent out of the title shot and place himself for the first time on the threshold of the heavyweight throne.
 Means Much to Both
 Camera is not satisfied with the Boston decision against him. Malo- ney is certain that he won cleanly ir his local balliwick. This Miami bout was brewed before the giant Italian was promised chance against the existing heavyweight champion late in the summer. Should Camera lose, he is most cer- tain to be delayed in his heavy weight aspirations. Should Maloney take the wrong side of the count or decision, his boxing career will be near it's close.
 The gate is admittedly not com ing up to expectation although Frank Bruen, on his first lone pro- motion, is hopeful that last-minute interest will swell the treasury to within striking distance of the ex- penditures.
 Rumors that Camera was at tempting to use the injury to his tenth rib to walk out, menaced the ticket sale but Bruen held to his guns and insisted upon going through with his promised show.
 Other Opinions
 Leon See, foreign manager and spokesman for Camera, feebly com plaining about sending his find" into the fray with an ailing rib says that Camera will go into the bout determined to end matters before the fifth round. See also said his man will favor his right because of his rib condition and will use his left to advantage.
 Dan Carroll, manager of Maloney, on the other hand. views with sus- picion the injury to the mysterious tenth rib and promised his boy would vindicate the Boston decision that brought Jimmy back into the limelight.
 Elmer (Slim) McClelland, who las always called them one way or the other ;n Detroit, promises a definite decision will be made as to the victor and under the Florida laws, he is the sole arbiter.
 The weather is cool and clear.

TROPHY FIGURE REVIEWS HEAVY
 RING SITUATION
Tunney=Muldoon Prize Two Years Old Yet No New Champions Name Has Been Put on It
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, March 5.-UP)-The stiff bronze figure of prizefighter which has been posing nearly two years atop the Tunney- Muldoon tro- phy in the foyer of Madison Square
 Garden while the search for heavy
 weight champion goes on, stretched
 lawned, dropped the pose. sat down
 on the corner of his pedestal, and
 broke out as follows:
 Listen pal, oP pal, give me g
 cigaret and sit down. I've got g thousand questions to ask. the first and foremost being: When do gel
 out of this placer"
 We said as soon as a champion
 was named, and that there was some talk of the winner of the Stribling- Schmeling fight being recognized as
 such.
 Gets Tired. Boy, I hope that talk is right
 This work of standing here with your fists out is plenty tough and
 the hours are torment. I got my doubts. too. about the Stribling- Schmeling winner getting me. You see, the people might rate the win
 ner my owner. but I'm in charge of a slew of committeeman. and most of lem wouldn't know a fighter from a visiting lecturer.
 And to add to my worries Mis- lter Muldoon, my head man, while Mister Tooney is away poking into
 member of the New York boxing
 commission-the same commission that kicked Schme1ing out of his title. So see, if Strib1ing wins he ain't accomplished much. according to Mister Muldoon and the commis- i sion.
 We asked how long he'd been sta nding in the Garden.
 'Lemme see. now. guess it's pret- ty close to two years. I was un- covered on April 17. 1929. More'n 500 big shots from all over the coun- try was here and was the center of
 attra action. Listening to 'em talk you'd a-never guessed that I was go- ing to get showed over here like a hat~ack and forgotten" We lit him another ciSaret and asked why he took the job in the first place.
 Because they told me it wouldn't be no time before they got cham
 pion and me owner. And it looked like they was right for you see. there
 wasn't but four fighters in the race
 for me-Sharkey. Loughran, Scott and Schmelinp.
 Hopeful. Things broke my way for a while.
 Sharkey knocked Loughran kick ingand then beat Scott. narrowing the race down to him and Schmeling. Sharkey claimed me after he beat Scott but Mister Muldoon and Mister Tunney wouldn't stand for 1t. "Then Mister Muldoon said the winner of the Sharkey-Schmeling thing would be champion and my papa. Soon as I heard Schmeling won got ready to get out of here. But it didn't work out that way. 1fis- ter Muldoon didn't think Schmeling was much of a fighter and refused to call him champion. So I'm still here and pal. it looks like I'm going to stay here all my life if Mister Muldoon and that committee waits until another guy like Demp- sey comes along.
 Give me one more drag. pal, be- fore you go."
