Petrolic Outslashes Courageous Battalino ,18.000 Fans See Fargo Bruiser Hammer Out 12-Round Technical K. 0. Win Over Bat: Hartford Youth Weakened by Loss of Blood. BV STUART CAMERON United Tree* Snort* Editor NEW YORK. March 25.—A special train rolled out of New York for Hartford, Conn., early today, carrying home a sad delegation of fight fans, heavy-hearted because they had seen Christopher (Bat) Batn'd 0 * *° rmcr * cathcrwci ßht champion, lose to Billy Petrolle of Fargo, Bat lost on a technical knockout in the last round of their scheduled

twelve-rounder when the referee stopped the bout to save him from further punishment. They fought at Madison Square Garden bpfore a near record crowd of 18.000. They fought the grandest fight seen here since Petrolle outsiashed Jimmy McLarnin some months back. Petrolle gave Battalino the licking of his life. Battalino presented the crowd with a masterful exposition of courage and gameness. Petrolle won the fight on Battalino’s nose. The so-called Fargo Express opened 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 fighfc the Bat's nose was

Battalino

broken in two places. Battalino lost between a pint and quart of blood. He was so weak that only with assistance was he • u*2 s L aRB tT from the ring ' In his dressing room he said that while ne 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 Petrolle in "the next round.”

Surgeons camp, set the nose, and the Bat was carted off to bed. The rounds were much alike. Time and again Petrolic broke through Battalino's usually tight guard and peppered that bleeding nose. Occasionally he varied his attack, to land stiff body blows. Battle Is Close Although Petrolic was credited with having won every round except the fourth, it wasn't such an uneven fight, at that. Battalino cot in his share of the blows struck, and, until the late rounds, the Bat had enough on the blows to have laid down the "Express” had one of them reached home. Petrolic was an 8 to 5 betting favorite. Battalino always has been the short-endcr in his New York appearances, and until Thursday night he has always crossed up the wise money boys who bet against him. Petrolle weighed 139 and Battalino 135. Petrolle Unmarked Petrolle, save for a slight cut over his right eye suffered in a head-on collision, was unmarked. While he dressed, the old Express talked of nothing but his opponent’s gamenrss. "That bird.” said Billy, “is the gamcst guy they ever tied a glove on. If he ever asked any quarter or gave any, I didn't hear or see him do it. I hated to hit him there at the last when he nearly was out, but: I couldn’t help it. As long as you're in there between those ropes, you've got to look out for yourself. Lawdy, he's got a heart.” And 18,000 fans agreed with him.

Following is the-explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not” which appeared in Thursday's Times: Singing Together for Fiftythree Years—The fifty-three-year-old quartet is composed of Robert A. Pyper, first tenor; Harry Hulbert, second tenor; Dr. Heber J. Sears, first bass, and David F. Mcßae, second bass. The quartet came into being in 1879, and its members have been associated in singing ever since, for a record duration of fifty-three years. , The photograph from which I drew my picture is an exact replica of one taken fifty-three years ago, except that the intervening years have exacted their toll by maturing the appearance of the members.

BY BEN STERN CONVERSION is a peculiar mental development, action, or reaction, and the one example which orators are most prone to use is that described in Chapter 9 of the Acts in the New Testament. It tells of the sudden conversion of one Saul of Tarsus, who set out from his home on an errand in which there was no mercy, fcsr he was “yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples” of Christ. “And in verses 3, 4 and 8, is described : "And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven. "And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, 'Saul, why persecutest thou me?’ "And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man, but they led him by the hand, and brought him to Damascus.” And it was in that city that Saul was converted. n a a That, brethren and sisters was how men came to be converted in antiquity. But in these days men get their conversion in another way, for they study the figures in the Literary Digest poll and then, like Saul, who became Paul, they see a great "light from heaven.” For our leading politicians have found something in the Literary Digest besides pictures they could understand, it has been said. And leading the converts down the sawdust trail is the sage senior senator from Indiana, James E. Watson, of whom the astutest is no astuter. Up to now it had been believed that Jim could understand no figures other than those of elections and in high tariff schedules, but here he comes with a great fanfare of trumpets, joining the ranks of the wets. tt n u It is quite true that a couple of years ago Jim declared in favor of a referendum—but he did not shout what then was heresy from the housetops, nor yodel it in political meetings. The poll, however, gave Jim that little added stimulus and we see him now signing the petition to bring to the floor of the senate the resolution resubmitting, the eighteenth amendment to the states. Not that he ever has lacked intestinal fortitude —in fact, from all indications he has more than all the rest of the Hoosier congressional delegation. But real conversion would be that of Senator Arthur Robinson. If "Little” Arthur should happen to vote for resubmitting the question, that would be a miracle in a day when miracles are rare as probity in an office seeker.

Marion county commissioners had failed today in an attempt to quash a court suit by which highway workers, now receiving aid from charitable organizations, seek to collect wages due them from the county. Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin overruled a demurrer to a mandate action, brought by Charles W. Mann, highway superintendent, in behalf of his employes. Charles B. Clarke, county attorney, who represents commissioners, was given until Monday to answer the original complaint. Then the case will be set for trial. Chamberlin has taken the stand that many legal technicalities, advanced by Clarke, merely are delaying the case. Building Permits William Schncor, 430 Hampton drivp, repair, S3OO, and garage, SBSO.

33 STATES GIVE E WETS 3-1 LEAD j IN DIGEST POLL Indianans Favor Repeal of Eighteenth Amendment, 108.540 to 51,176. Thirty-three states are voting within a fraction of 3 to 1 wet as over three million ballots from all forty-eight states are tabulated in the Literary Digest's nation-wide prohibition poll, as will be announced in Saturday's issue of the magazine. The thirty-three states represented in this wet group have a combined population of over 86.000,000 people, as enumerated in the latest census figures. Eight of these states register a vote of more than 4 to 1 for repeal of the eighteenth amendment. The report shows 108,540 Indianans favoring repeal and 51,176 for retention of the dry amendment. 25.1 Per Cent Vote Dry A total of 3.040,036 votes are tallied this week in the "straw” referendum, of which 763,175, or 25.1 per cent, are dry and 2.276.861, or 74.9 per cent are wet. The dry vote scores a fifth consecutive gain this week rising from 15.85 per cent of the total vote of the first week s returns to 25.10 per cent in the current sixth tabulation. Kansas is still the only state voting bone dry, but North Carolina Is within a fraction of 1 per cent of registering a vote for continuance of the eighteenth amendment. ' Two Million to Come William Seaver Woods, editor-in-chief of the magazine, stated he anticipates nearly two million more returns in the poll judging from present incoming ballots. The sixth report in the 1930 Literary Digest poll, asking three questions instead of two, showed a total tabulation of 3,175,972. of which 915,681, or about 28 per cent, were j for enforcement: 951,475, or nearly 30 per cent, for modification, and : 1.308,816, or nearly 41 per cent, were j for repeal. ! In the Digest’s poll in 1922, the sixth week’s tabulation showed a total of 708.805 ballots returned, of which 271,954 were for strict enforcement; 290,172 for modification, and 146,697 for repeal.
