BY the Associated Press
n YEW YORK. March 1.-Two
M powerful punchers, Christopher
Y (Bat) Battalino OF Hartford
Conn, and Billy Petrolle Of
Fargo. N. Oak. collide at Madison
Square Garden on Friday night in the
weeks outstanding boxing duel.
AS featherweight champion. Battalino
never was noted as a great puncher. but
the 10 pounds he has put on in the last
few months apparently have doubled
his hitting efficiency.
In his two matches among the light
weights Battalino knocked out Al Singer
and Billy Shaw In two rounds apiece
Neither of these rivals. however. can be
compared to the croWd-pleasir1g Petrolle,
who packs a Knockout wallop in either
hand
The match. a 12-round affair, has
been made at 140 pounds. Petrolle. who
usually scales about l39 pounds prob
ably will outweigh Battalino by no more
than or 4 pounds.
Petrolle's Brother Fights.
Two of Petrolle's recent knockout
victims. Billy Ran of Poland and Billy
Townsend of Vancouver, appear on the
St. Nicholas arena card here tonight.
Townsend, incidentally. will have a
chance to gain little secondhand re-
venge on Petrolle, for he is matched
with Billy's less-famous brother, frankie
Petrolle. in the 10-round Semi-final
Ran. a right hand puncher of the most
deadly power meets Marty Goldman of
New York in the 10-round main bout.
Other leading matches nationally send
Benny Bass. Philadelphia lightweight,
against Wesley Ramey of Grand Rapids
Mich. at St. Louis Wednesday, and Fidel
Labarba, Los Angeles featherweight
against Varias Milling Of the Philip
pines at Hollywood Friday night.

Pointers on Golf

If there is any one shot the aver
age golfer needs to practice, it is the
chip shot. The man who plays above
80 as a rule seldom reaches the
green Of par four hole in two
strokes. He is apt to be short.
With good chip shot, however. he
may still achieve par, for he has a
fair chance to place his ball sufi-
GENTLY close to the cup to get down
with one putt.
