They fought at Madison Square (tardeii before a near record crowd of 18.000. They fought the grandest tight seen here since Petrolic. outslashi-tl Jimmy Mi Limin some' months hack Petrolic gave Bai talino the licking of his life. Bat talino presented the crowd with a masterful exposition of courage and gameness. Petrolic Von the tight on Billal ino's nose. The Fargo express! ujiened a cut on the bridge of Bat’s: nose early in the second round Blood began to flow immediately ( and. except for some few seconds between each round, the bleeding; continued. Sometime during the tight the | Bals nose was broken in two places. Rattalino lost between a pint and Quart of blood. He stag-1 g -reil rum the fight tn Ids dressing room he said that i while he had absorbed a great deal of punishment, he was conscious of everything that had happened. Then he lapsed into incoherent : mumblings of what he would do to I Petrole in "the next round." Surgeons came, set the nose, and the Bat was carted off to bed. The rounds were much alike, | Time and again Petrolle broke through Battalino’s usually tight guard and peppered that bleeding nose. Occasionally he varied his. attack, to land stiff body blows. Although Petrolle was credited with having won every round ex

eept the fourth, it wasn't such an uneven fight. at that. Battalino a got in his share of the blows struck. I;: and, until the late rounds, the flat had enough on the blows to have 1 laid down the "express” had one a of them reached home. J Petroile was 8 to 5 betting favor k ite. Battalino always has been thejc short-ender in his New V ork ap-1 sjpeargnces and until last night he t has always crossed up the wise money boy's who bet against him. le Petroile weighed 139 and Battal-; J ir.o 135. : ■' Battalino's immediate ring future a is uncertain. So is Petrolle's. The i h la ter may meet Tony t'anzoneri in an indoor lightweight chjmpionjj ship tight. Or he may meet Jackie i Fields for the welter title. A third I possibility is that he will meet the winner of the scheduled Sammy Fuller-Jack Kid Berg tight with . that winner due to meet t'anzoneri ■ in an -outdoor match. i , < At the Training Camps By United Press > — * Bradenton, Fla .

(U.R) Paddy Mullins, shrewd, silent Irishman who rose from the welter of bowery slums to become one of the world's Inst known boxing man-: agers, is dead The "silent one" who opened his mouth on a memorable occasion to t all Jack Dempsey a liar, died yes-! terday of heart disease at his home: in Brooklyn. He was 70. It was as manager for Harry, Wills, so-called "black Panther."; Hur Mullins gained the most pub-; licity. In behalf of the negro heavyweight. Mullins persistently challenged the then champion. Jack Dempsey, to fight. And after Dempsey had lost his title to Gene Tunney, he shifted his barrage of challengers to the new champion. Al.hot’slt Wills never was given an opportunity to meet either Dempsey or Tttnney. his manager's propaganda created the widespread impression that both were afraid of

Mullins once accosted Dempsey at a meeting of boxing commission and accused the champion of having run out on a bout in Chicago. Dempsey protested that he was accused falsely. Whereupon Mullins shouted. "You’re a liar and you know it." He invited Dempseydown stairs to fight it out. but Jack smilingly declined to mix in with the gray-haired veteran. Among the boxers guided to championships by Mullins were Mike O’Dowd, middleweight champ ion; Pete Latzo. welterweight titleholder, and Mike McTigue. lightheavyweight champion. J. H.

N Y., in 1860. Olcott made his debut as a singer in a minstrel show. But it wasn’t long until the quality of his voice won for him parts in light operas and operettas Some of his best known parts were in "Ragged Robin, “Barry of Ballymore, The Heart of Paddy Whack" and the opera "Macushla." He is also famous as the introducer of "Mother Mechree" and ”Mv Wild Irish Rose, two ballads that will live as long as an Irishman remains alive to sing them. Near death in 1925, Olcott attributed his recovery to praver and the healing power which he insisted was in his wife , hands. So firm was this belief that he had a sculptured model made of them Ibe Olcotts I left the United States last November to spend the Winter at their v.lla in Monte Carlo, where the singer succumbed to pernicious anemia.

But he was not destined to .remain long in that type of show, I or the adaptability of his voice 'j:o light tenor roles soon attracted ] heatre managers and he was enII gaged for leading parts in light ; operas and operettas. The excell- ‘ cnee of his speaking voice, too. marked him for the legitimate stage. Olcott made his stage debut as i Pablo in "Pepita” at the I nion ;Square Theatre. New York, in 1886 ! and was an instant success. He then played in "The Old Homestead" from ISBS to 1890, the two year run being an unusually long (engagement for that period. I In 1891.

THREATS MAY BE F ROM CRANK i (CONTINUED t’KUM PAGP uNE) at the Lewis residence. Mis. Long-' j worth. declining police protection, ;took Paulina to a secluded place! I away from Washington. The police theory was that the' letters were written by a crank ■ whose imagination had been kind-, |led by the Lindbergh case. OffiIcers said a dozen Washington residents had received threatening letI lers of various sorts since the Lindbergh kidnaping. One was sent to a prominent banker and another to Ben Lyon and his wife, Bebe Daniels, motion picture stars, while tney were visiting here. The Longworth-Lewis missives ■were similar in many respects. The amount of money demanded was (the same. They bore the same )“???" signature. They were app i patently written on the same type--9 , writer. I The last letter was received yes-

Some o. the parts for which It--, is best remembered in -America were in "Ragged Robin,” "O'Neill of Derry." ' Barry of Ballymore” I . aad "Honest John O'Brien." But i'the most celebrated play in his re-; ; I pertoire was "The Heart of Paddy Whack," with which he toured the | i entire United States. Thi play kept hi mengaged from 1914 to 1916. He ■ then starred in the opera "Macji- - shla" from 1919 to 1921.
