PETROLIE AGAIN
BEATS BATTALINO
IN HARD BATTLE
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, May 81. U.P)-Billy
Petrolle can whip Christopher (BaO
Battalino, but he can't make him
quit.
At the end of IL rounds of one of
the bloodiest, most ferocious battles
ever staged in the Chicago stadium,
Petrolle, Duluth, Mimi, junior well
terweight, was awarded the unani-
nous decision of the referee and
two judges, duplicating his victory
of two months ago in Madison
Square Garden. Eeach weighed 140
Battalino, cut in four places about
the face and head, his nose Dashed
in, his eyes swollen and his face
smeared with blood, was outright
ing the unmarked but tired Petrolle
at the finish. From start to finish
Battalino kept walking into Petrolle,
taking his best hooks, jabs and
crosses, without Wavering.
The crowd of 10000 watched the
former featherweight champion lead
with his head, take Petrolle's sharp
lefts and rights, trade punch for
punch and never wilt under bar
rage that might have toppled any
other battler.
The gross receipts were $31 900, of
which each principal received about
$1,000.
After the fight Battalino was car
ried to hospital where 13 stitches
were taken in his wounds, four in a
cash in his head from a butt, three
in a cut over the right eye, three in
his lacerated lips and three across
the bridge of his nose.
Battalino, on the short end of 9
to betting odds, came near ending
the fight in the first round when
he dropped Petrolle with a left
hook to the face.
Only nine times during the fight
did Referee Barry have to break the
two fighters. and seldom was there
a moment when they were not slug
ging away at each other. At the
end of the fifth round the fight was
still even, and Petrolle did not start
piling up his winning margin until
the sixth, seventh. eighth and
ninth.
BY the tenth round Petrolle had
punched himself almost into eX-
haustion and was unable to throw
a hard punch during the final
round.

NEW YORK, May 81. - Among
the several thousand and one things
heavyweight champion or chal-
lenger has to put up with in train
ing camp are those 14-karat,
double-dipped and super-tested
nuts who wander in with delusions
of grandeur.
Take, for example, that magnifi-
cent, blue-ribbon filbert who
breezed into Jack Sharkey's quar-
ters at Orangeburg yesterday. No
one knows where the bird came
from, who he is, or how he reached
Orangeburg. He was discovered
Friday morning when Pauline W.
cudun and a couple of lightWeights
strolled into the gymnasium.
When they walked in, there he
stood, punching the bag. Six feet
or more tall, skinny as a rail, and
dressed in a pair of baggy green
tights and high walking shoes, he
was a sight.
What" said Pauline, what de
hell are youse doing here?'
The stranger turned, looked the
Basque square in the eyes, and
handed him a telegram. 1t read:
Report to Orangeburg at once
stop Want you to spar with
Sharkey." Signed, Johnny Buckley,
manager of Jack Sharkey.
Now" said the stranger, Il
guess you see I am somebody. Let
me tell you, I am probably the
greatest fighter in the world. I
am a whirlwind on defense and can
hit with both hands, though I'm
a natural southpaw But my best
bet is a secret punch--a punch that
will knock Sharkey haywire the
minute I let 1t go. All, just ache
to get in there with Sharkey. And
when I knock him haywire I will
! claim the championship of the
! world
The stranger resumed his punch
ing. He missed three times in sue
I cession, tripping after each miss.
Pauline watched him for a min
| ute ana then SAID.
Listen, mug, Buckley never sent
, you any telegram. What de hell
are you doing up here?"
Sent Own Telegram
"All right" said the stranger.
HE didn't send me the telegram.
I sent it to myself, just to get up
here and show Sharkey up. !
came last night and slept in the
gym. AS soon as I knock him out
with my secret punch, will offer
to substitute for him against
! Schmeling just wait until this
afternoon when 1 get in there with
| him."
Came the afternoon, and also
two OF three hundred fans to watch
Sharkey work out. But Sharkey
was out on a fishing trip and didn't
show up. After waiting an hour OF
two, the filbert could stand it M
longer.
"One of you guys" he said to thu
fighters on the floor, "get into th
ring with me. jus gotta get {
workout out of my system"
With these words he slipped of
his hiking boots, and barefooted
stepped into the ring. His chal'
lenge was accepted by Joe Ghnouly
a 135-pounder from st. Louis.
Watch yourself" the stranger
said to Ghnouly. Il don't want tt
hurt you. And be sure to watch
out for my secret punch. It's 6
man-killed.'
There were just two licks struck
Ghnouly struck the filbert, who
didn't know left cross from thirc
base, and the filbert struck The
floor. 1t required 20 minutes to re.
vive him. The second his heac
cleared, the filbert grabbed hi'
shoes, reached the highway ii
nothing flat, and headed for some
where else.
