—_— Speék'ing of Sports Frankie O'Brien, middleweight of Hartford, will have plenty of trouble | with Paul Rojas of Cuba when the two meet at the Hurley stadium in Hartford next Monday night. The Cuban last night handed Johnny Haystack of New York a terrific lac- ing in one of the preliminaries on | the Battalino-Fernandez card. O'Brien’s long 4ayoff from the ring will not help him any against the Cuban who appeared to be in the | pink of condition last night. Rojas | has a terrific punch, is a neat boxer | &nd can stand the gaff i v of the fans present at the | ip tilt at th Hurle adium last night, came away con- vinced that the fight was a fake. They shouted their derision to the four winds after the fight and where Battalino had received cheers, his home town fans turned on him ia night. A great deal of tis can be at- tributed to the fact that Battalino | can’t seem to win a fight away from | Hartford. Shopld he be able to take | on opponents An foreign rings and | win from them, this feeling might be dispersed. Figuring from a bit of logi fight last night, it is diffi to arrive at any sensible reason why Fernandez would take a dive. H ring earnings have been made pos- sible through the fact, in a gre measure. that he had never before been knocked out. He was rated as ! the toughest specimen in the feath- | erweight class and was able to take a terrific laci Any hope of making even a fai ly good showing in the feathe rank ter last night we glimmering as the Filipino was counted out.

Battalino was the first to reach him. He and the seconds carried the unconscious challenger to his corner and there they started to work on him. Smelling salts made ne impression on Fernandez &l- though the bottle was held at his nose. After about four minutes, he came to dazed and sick. He wis mede ready for his departure from the ring and still dizzy and in a fog, he slithered 'down the steps and out of the ring. The crowd was howling all i« time. Where Battalino has be:n cheered with a resounding ceho in hix previous appearances, derision was aimed at him last night. The bout was a sorry championship a- fair because the challenger was ab- no match for the title holder. Fernandez and his handicrs said that the Filipino’s poor attempt at fighting was due to his weak condi- tion from making the featherweight poundage limit. They claim that o Monday, he was forced to speid more than an hour in a turkish ba‘h to steam off the flesh.
