NEW YORK, May 4 = Unless
baseball customers are sincere in
their wish to see Slugging chased
lout of the game in favor of pitch
ing battles, they would be wise to
do a little braking on their en-
| thusiaSm over the shutout and near
shutout contests that are now the
rage in the American League.
For the club owners, always eag-
er to oblige, particularly to increase
gate receipts, may produce a ball
that will make no score and low
score games as common as Slip
ping off your shoes at a formal
dinuer. When the customers
clamored for bigger and better
home runs, the owners went into a
huddle and brought forth a ball
which a baby's pat would send into
Mrs. Sweeneys backyard for a
round trip.
OF course, it was denied that the
ball had been doctOred. The mo-
guls were indignant when some one
timidly suggested that the ball of
1929 and 1880 (the years when it
wasn't safe to walk within four
blocks OF q ball park without a
raised umbrella was just trifle
more frisky than its brothers of
other years. But they never eX-
planned why batting averages
Jumped 25 and 30 points, why ana

pitchers were able to pop the ball
into adjoining counties, and why
life insurance companies refused
to deal with infielders.

viding the boys and girls with a
ball that would satisfy their crav-
ing for home runs, the owners may
take the same fine care Of the pa
irons who dote on low score games

BATTALIN0 OUT
FOR REVENGE ON
BILLY PETR0LLE
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO. May IS. - Across
the bridge OF Christopher 1Bat
Battalino's nose. there is q long
scar-jagged and ugly-and il will
be there q long time
Billy Petrolle, Duluth, MINI. put
il on Battalino in their first bout
in New York two months ago. It
led to BattahnoS defeat in that
bout and it may LEAD to ms victory
when these two meet again IN The
Chicago stadium Friday night.
Revenge Is uppermost in Batta-
limos mind He thinks Petrolle
butted him and he believes Refer
ee Gunboat Smith would not have
stopped the bout in the 18th and
final round if his nose hadn't been
cut.
Battalino never forgiyes a fighter
who puts a mark on him. Bushy
Graham Knocked out one Of Bat
talinos front teeth il a bout at
Cincinnati IN September 1881, and
also won the d cision from the then
featherWeight champion IN q non
title bout.
Get that Graham for me again, -
Battalino wrathfully told bis man
aeer
Battalino and Graham were
matched in the Chicago stadium
two months later and Battalino
mercilessly knocked him ont in the
first round with a series OF body
punches that made Graham vince
and whine as he lay on the can
vas.
A strange mixture Of contradlc-
tory emotions, Battalino is one Of
the most fearless fighters in the
ring and yet shrinks from sur
geon's knife.
When a sample Of his blood was
taken he begged the doctor not
10 cut him with a knife. The doc
tor finally took a drop Of blood
from the lobe Of his ear.
If Battalino should Wreak re-
venge on Petrolle, its no worse
than an even bet that he will be
the next lightweight champion.
Petrolle. who VIII have d four or
five pound pull in the weights, is
quoted a TO 5 faVorite, and may
possibly 60 higher.

dental campaign duties to become

Roosevelt was the guest until
tomorrow of Mrs. John G. Green
way at her ranch home near here,
one of the show places of central
Arizona.
The special train bearing the
governor and his party rolled into
Williams late last night. AT the
Greenway home, deep in the
mountains, Roosevelt settled down
to enjoy the first real rest he has
had since he started out on his
transcontinental tour, and to get
glimpse first hand of a program
of cowboy sports.
Mrs. Greenway arranged a ro-
deo for the party which was to be
topped off with a chase of an Ari-
zona mountain lion by a pack of
hunting dogs. For those who want

Mrs. Roosevelt joined the gov
ernor at the ranch, having flown
from Kansas City to Winslow,
Ariz, and then motoring to the
Greenway home. She made the
first stage of the journey by train.
On the trip to Williams, the cam
paign special made several stopS

and addressed briefly an audience
of several thousand persons who
crowded the grounds of the state

hundred ranchers heard Roosevelt
express his pleasure at being in
Arizona.
Fix it so we can sell our COWS,
Frank" cattleman called out to
him. The governor nodded to him
and smiled.
Hope For California
Roosevelt and his followers visi-
bly, were elated at the attitude of
Senator Hiram johnson, of Cali
fornia, leader of the states liberal
Republican bloc, towards the Dem
ocratic nominees campaign. The
governor believes the California
liberals will swing President Hoo
ver's home state to the Democratic
cause in the November elections.
This week Roosevelt will confer
with Senator George Norris of Ne
braska, another who has disengaged
himself from the Republican ranks.
The meeting will be held at Nc
Cook, Neb., and Roosevelt hopes to
swing Norris followers into the
Democratic lineup.
Then the Democratic nominee
hopes to have the La Toilette
group still powerful in Wisconsin
despite their recent defeat, behind
him.
1t was believed his scheduled
address at Sioux City, Iowa, would
be prepared with view toward
signing and sealing" the votes of
the farm belt liberals.
Saturday the governor spoke to
an enthusiastic gathering of 50,-
900 California Democrats in Holly
wood.
Roosevelt will head into New
Mexico when he leaves Arizona to-
morrow. He will stop at Albuquer-
que and from there proceed to Col

Attorney Must
Serve One Day

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26. U.P)-
Vincent Hallinin, San Francisco at
torney, who defended Frank Egan,
former public defender, in his re-
cent murder trial, today was denied
a writ of habeas corpus to free him
from a 24-hour jail sentence by the
state supreme court imposed for
contempt of court.
The high court pointed out that
similar petition had been denied
by the district court of appeal.
Hallinin was sentenced to "a
hours in Jail on the contempt
charge, but served only five hours
before gaining his liberty on a
temporary writ. He returned today
from his honeymoon, according to
Attorney Felix M. Cunningham.
Egan was convicted a few weeks

INDEPENDENTS TO
GIVE ROOSEVELT
THEIR SUPPORT
Two Groups Organized To
Swing PrOgressives In
to Democratic Ranks.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-tU.P
The Democrats bid for the Inde-
pendent and Progressive Republi-
can vote gained impetus today
when announcements that two Or
ganizations, headed by nationally
known Liberals, had been formed to
crystalline Progressive sentiment
behind the presidential candidacy
of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Richard Washburn Child, ambas-
sador to Italy under two Republi-
can administrations will lead one
effort to wean progressive Repub-
lican votes away from President
Hoover. The other appeal for the
often pivotal independent and pro-
gressive vote will be led by Sena-
tor George w. Norris, insurgent
Republican leader, and a group of
liberals through the Progressive
National League"
Child, in New York, said he would
head the Republicans for Roose-
velt league" and predicted that the
Democratic nominee would "be
elected by Republican votes.' Child
supported Mr.. Hoover in the 1928
campaign, and was ambassador to
Italy under President Harding and
President Coolidge He helped di-
rect Harding's campaign.
Norris, now II years old, will
make a coast to coast speaking tour
in behalf of the Democratic NOM
inee starting Oct. Is. Other mem
bers of the national committee of
the league, including Amos Pin
chot, brother of Governor Pinchot
of Pennsylvania, Bainbridge Colby,
secretary of state in the Wilson
administration and Mayor Frank
Murphy of Detroit, also will take
the stump, it was announced.
The organized efforts to win
progressives and independents
came as Governor Roosevelt was
preparing to launch at Sioux City,
Iowa, what is expected to be his
major plea for their vote.
Senator Brookhart, Repn., Iowa,
has as yet failed to make known
his presidential preference. Demo-
cratic campaign leaders are known
to be hopeful however of obtaining
the support of other Republican
progressive senator's, besides Nor
ris. They were cheered by Senator
Hiram Johnson's reaction to Roose-
velt's plea for Republican votes in
California.
Neither Senator Borah, Repn.,
Ida, nor the two Wisconsin sena-
tors, Blaine and La Toilette have
as yet indicated whether they will
participate in the national cam
paign.
