(United Press Staff Correspondcnt) New York, January IA - tUp) - It was many years ago that Don ouixote proved the futility, not to mention the danger, of tilting with windmills.
 But Frankie Battaglia had never heard of the good Don, 90 last night at Madison Square Garden the handsome Winnipeg lad rode aaylv into one. and when the Windmill, or Ben Jeby, to give t its full name, got through with him, Frankie was close to Q hos. pitai ease and his dreams of be. coming middleweight champion or the world were smashed.
 | Now, having satisfied those cus- toners who demand fancy intro. duction, we shall proceed to tell you of the fight. ~
 It ended after 1:45 of tho 12th round whom Referee Jack Britton stepped between the two men and waved to Jeby to cease firing. Up- on being ordered to lift his barrage Jeby stopped jountily to his cor. ner. Battagiia, his right eye the most gruesome thing you ever saw. his legs pure rubber, weaved beck and forth until his handlers led him gently to his corner. That gives you the ending. Now TOT the fight. . first round. They spar around TOT the first minute and then Battug. iia, as nice n looking Kid as you ever saw, whips across that right hand. Jeby's knees buckle. An- other steaming right, ana Jepy runs in close and holds on.
 Joby comes out fast as the bell rings for No, 2, and for three min ute hammers away at Frank'e's belly. You can toll by the way nc gru,ts that Frankie doesn't like those deep jabs down below.
 Round No. 3 is q repetition or the second. Jeby in Q crouch iike Dempsey, whips both hands into ,.. tho broad basket. Occasionally when Frankie drops his guard, Jeby switches his attack to the face, siamming homo rights and lieit to tho chin and eyes. A sweep. ling left hook rakes Frankie's right eyo, and 1t begins to close. doc- tor loans over from tho first row ringsido and volunteers the n. formation that "his eye'll close 1n n minute or two. A haematomn has developed" =.
 Round No. sees Battaglia go down for c nino count. Coming out of q clinch Jeby whips a right' then n left, to Frankie's solar plex. us. The Italian boy, his mouth fiopped open, drops to his knees ""T Then % comes No. 6 and tho fights biz moment. Frankie, his right eye closed and horribly swollen and bleeding from nose and mouth, unioosos Q wild swinging right Chunk! 1t catches Jeby flush on the button. The Jewish boys kneos buckle like those of . mar. ionette whose strings hayo been cut. His eyes get glassy. Hut n. stinetively he runs in, throws hli nrma around Frankie, and hugs on until the bell. Tho crowd which only n few minutes ago wat lyeliing for Jeby to make tho XIII begs Battaglia to put across tht old eonVincer. But the bell rings just as Frankie takes Q bead ana cocks that right.
 From then on 1t Is somethinn you would rathor not see. Frankie nearly blind, and with blood pour ing from half dozcn cuts, stag gers round and round the ring And never moro than Q foot away ls Jeby, thoso hairy arms Of hli working like pistens. plunk Punk! Two short jolting leit 3abi smack squareiy into what used tt
 bo Frankio's right eye. Plunk Punk! And two Jolting rights tt the belly double Frankie into knot. Docs Jeby walt unt Frankie straightenB up? Ho doel . not. An uppercut that starts from tho floor whistles through th' italians guard and brings him up right with Q grunt.
 This goes on for SIX rounes Then comes tho bell for tn, twelfth. His handlers puef Frankie off hls stool and squarels in tho path of his tormentor: Tht Winnipeg boy strikes out feepl' , with his right. A left catches hin in the mouth and spins hin. agains the hopes. He shakes his 'hea' and moves forward. Jcby rakci him fore and aft with hooks ant jabs and joits. "stop it! Stop it!" yolIs thu crowd.
