Speaking of Sports _ Bat Battalino has been matched to fight Dushy Graham of Utica, N. Y. in Hartford on April 25. This is an- other of those non-title fights. In the scrap, Battalino will not put his new- 1y acquired featherweight champion- ship at stake but will fight another one of those fights which, win or lose, doesn’t mean anything. It begins to appear that Battalino's camp is afraid that the crown that now rests oin the brow of the Hart- ford Italian, is kind of askew. Of course, we realize that his handlers awaiting his big chance for a big . probably. as his opponcit. though we feel that Batta- his two dcfeats since he became champion, has the goods to stand up against most of these contenders for the featherweight crown, he is hurting his prestige in these parts, at least, and most prob- ably throughout the country by dal- lving along in these non-title fights without risking his crown. Should he step out to defend his title and lose it in his first bout with any other opponent, the “I told You so0” boys will certainly be sing- ing the anvil chorus again. When all things are taken into considcration, one can't blame them. Teading between the lines in dis- patches from the West, it looks if Dempsey is hank into the ring again. The former heavyweight champion sort of holds in contempt the heavyweight crop of fighters of the present and after looking the field over ¢ can't blame him ecithe Tt is whispered that Jack plans to come back to the ring in a battle with Primo Carnera, the giant Ital- fan. He feels that the only thing that would prevent him from making this comeback would be his legs. Still, he never went in for long should he feel able to go four rounds, e feels that he can beat any of th present heavyweights. ‘ihe one exception is Gene Tunney who showed that he had too many guns for Jack. With Sharkey scheduled to meet Max Schmeling for the heavyweight championship of the world in June, nd Dempsey carded with Primo arnera, what would be more natural 2 between the two win- « than a ma ners 1t Sharkey would win, Sharkey and Demps wins and Dempsey would clear up the argument of foul over the| last meeting between the two. If Schmeling should win and Dempsey would beat Carncra, another inter- national battle of the century would be fought or on the other side a match between Sharkey and Carneri would have the same identifying mark. It both Schmeling and Carnera should win, then a match between 1he two of them would be feught and another American hopeful could be brought alonz. 0 EXAMINE ROCKNE Dr. J. C.
