CHICAGO AB R Ten days ago his doctor pro- nounced him o. k. once more and he resumed training and Monday |night he will battle the clever Mil- ton Cohen of New York in the Velo- drome ring. Battalino has fought in Hartford but once this summer and on that occasion he scored a spectacular knockout over Jimmy Scully of Bos- ton who had been going at a good clip on the carde over East. Cohen will present a different kind of opposition; he is much “smart. er” than Scully and, although he is not a stiff puncher he is punching all the time and he does tire an op- ponent with his incessant drumfire to the body. Battalino will have to be at the top of his form to beat Cohen. Bat has a lot of that intangible something, which sports writers call “color” for want of a better name and he is a great magnet to the fans |of Hartrord and vicinity Therefore, it is expected that 6,000 will be on hand Monday night as he st out against Cohen. here will be seven four-round bouts on this popular-priced card. | The Battalino bout is down for cight rounds. £ o El Mostill, Shires, .

There's a reason and, if you must know that reason, take a look at the schedule and see who the future lieutenants are going to play this fall on the gridiron. Tough schedule is right, with games against Southern Methodist, Har- vard, Yale, Notre Dame, Ncbraska and Southern California to be played. , And those West Pointers know they need plenty of practice to breeze through that gang of oppo- nents with any sort of success, Here are some glimpses of the initial workout. Coach “Biff” Jones (as he i8 called in football seasen) is shown at the upper right talking to “Bud” Sprague, Army capt Below 15 a view of Sprague show- | ing his tackling ability.

Tickey was one of the most powerful linemen on the local team a few years ago. The new aggregation will be called the Mohawk A. A. and the first practice session was held last Tuesday night. Candidates number- ing more than 20 turned out fdr the first workout and these include some of the best players in and around Bridgeport. The Mohawk A.

He has been in the game for the past 10 years, first reaching prominence as a member of the Central High school team in Bridge- port and later playing with Bridge- port, Meriden and New Britain teams. He was a member of the All-Connecticut team for three sea- sons.

Each team stands on am cqual footing at the present time, each having won one and lost one same. The Burritts nosed out the Fal. cons in one of the best contests staged in this city this season. Thia was the first game of the season and it went to 11 innings before the Bur- ritts finally scored and won by a 8 to 2 count. Last Sunday, the Falcons returned to the wars and swamped their erst- while conquerors to the tune of 14 to 5. This Sunday each team goes into the game with all the confi- dence in the world that each will win, Although the game will not decide the series, it will give the winner a decided advantage over the loser. The winner of S8unday's game will only have to win ooe more contest to take the series and then meet any other comers in the race for the championship of the city. The Falcons tomorrow will use “Lefty” Atwood in the box. Atwood has been one of the best and most successful pitchers to work for the FFalcons in many seasons.
