PRPITIITITIECCOT VISPV iSpeakingg of Sports § > POPEVEVITE PROVISPIIIPVI Bat Battalino, pride of Hartford among fight fans, will get the big~ gest chance in his entire career on vither September 12 or 16 when he meets Routis, doughty Irenchman, for the world's featherweight cham- pioniship. The bout, notwithstanding the obstables yet to be overcone by Promoter Ed Hurley, Wil be staged at the Iast Hartford velodromn: which was recently acquired by the fight promoter. There are a goodly number of fans who -flgure that Hy Malley, manager of Battalino, is pushing his charge along altogether too fast but Jattalino nust step into big cor- pany soon or lose any chance of ever getting beyond the stage at which he now finds himself, His recent fight with Al Brown has corvinced his crties that he is ready to mect the big-timers in the fight racket and, as there is no bigger figure in the world than the featherweight champion, Battalino has certainly hitched -his wagon to @ star, Routis presents a formidable op- ponent for the Hartford lad. He has a world of experience him and there are many who figure that Battalino will take him. With the chance that Connectic will have a second world's feather- weight champlon to boast of, bout is sure to be the biggest draw- rd that Hartford has had in many ye Battalino has almost enough friends and followers i Hartford alone to make the bout a ally and with the numbers who will assemble in Hestford from all points in the state, the velodrome will see a reas crowd for the first time since it was built. nddul Because of the intense interest in | the Kid Chocolate-Al Singer bou New York tomorrow night, the ald has made arrangements to an- nounce the battle blow by blo Chocolate, for the first time since he entered this country'as a fighter, is on the short end of the betting.
