Speaking of Sports | 000000000600 | Patsy Bridgett of the Hardware | A. C., may be forced to postpone his | card of fights scheduled for next| Monday night at the Y. M. T. A. & B. hall because of the action of State Athletic Commissioner Thomas Donohue {n glving the Elm City A. C. of New Haven, permission to postpone the Kaplan-Vaccarelli bout until Monday night. With Kaplan's brother lzzy ap-| pearing in the main go herc against Jimmy Borde of France, there {sn't| any doubt whatever but that the attendance at the fights would be serfously threatened. ould Mon- day be a date on which the local club could go through with at loast one card without having other at-| tractions on to bother the promoter, | would at | the Hardware City A. C. least have a 50-50 chance to regain some of the ground it has lost in its first two attempts The action of Commissioner Don- ohue i3 considered thoughtless. Whether he is riding rough shod over the local men because of the renown of the principals in the New Haven hout, is another ques- tion. Promoter Bridgett plans to register a strong kick against the shifting of the New Haven date to that on which he planned to conduct his card. All plans have been completad for the staging of the card in this city for some weeks and being forced to | postpone the show to some other date isn't at all going to help. The New Haven card was at first sched uled to be glven this Thursday night but word from Vaccarellf in New York to the affect that his training | has been Interrupted hy a cold, re- sulted in the permit for the bout to | be held Monday night.

This 'r was made during the past few a wild and merry scrambl Al Lo made by the heavy stickers to sen who makes the first circuit trip. Ratt Battalino left no doubt in anyone's mind as to his ability to! win the natlonal featherwelght title. Tn the tournament concluded last night in Boston, Battalino through with colors flying high. He knocked out four men, the four op- | ponents selected for him and all| were put to sleep in record time, The question naturally whether Battalino will turn pro or remain in the amateurs. We have heard that attempts will be made to have the Hartford battler with the simon-pures until after the Olympics next year. Whether he will do that or not remains to be secn. BaMalino, becausa of his prowess as a fighter, has been finding it h to got fights because most of amateur batilers are fighting shy of Him. e will find it a more difti- cult task to get opponents now that e has demonstrated that his abil- ity fs real and not just a passing flash. As a professional, Battalino will meet tougher scrappers than he has met in the amateur ranks. Just at the present time, he has pretty soft pickings for a fighter in the ranks of the simon-pure The hest fights we have seen put up against Battalin cn him by the New Jersey feather- ght who appeared against him in this city, and by Rollo Roland of ‘Waterbury who had Battalino prag- | tically beaten at the stato armory in this city up te the third round. Without any doubt at all, Batta- lino would be a great attraction !n] Cannecticut, at least, as a profes- slonal. Just how far he would go! fighting in the more experienced | ranks among the tougher scrappers he will meet, depends on Battalino | himself.
