Duluth Veteran, However,
as Far From a Cham
pionship as Ever.
By Herbert W. Barker
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
, NEW . YORK. Mar. 25 YP Perhaps
he doesn't care for that sort of thing
but it seems an undoubted Injustice
that Billy Petrolle never gets a
whack at a fistic championship. .
, Considered In many quarters the
greatest fighting man now in the
ring, a logical contender for either
the lightweight or welterweight title,
the Duluth veteran Is Just as far
away from a championship as he
ever was.
To his string of victories over
Jimmy McLarnln, Jus to Suarez. Eddie
Ran and Billy . Townsend, Petrolle
added another last rilght a one
sided triumph over Christopher (Bat)
Battallno, of Hartford. Conn., former
world's featherweight champion, and
called recently the modern "Battling
Nelson."
A near-capacity crowd of 18.000
spectators looked on uneasily as Pe
trolle cut Battallno to pieces with
ylclous rights and lefts to the head,
brought blood streaming from a
dozen, cuts, and finally stopped him
after one minute and 31 seconds of
the 12th and final round.
, Despite Bat tali no's scries of spec
tacular triumphs over Kid Chocolate,
Pldel Labarba. Al Singer, Earl Mastro
and Eddie Ran, Petrolle was the bet
ting favorite at 7 to 5 as they en
tered the ring. And before three
rounds were over It was apparent that
Battallno was over-matched.
The Hartford boy committed fistic
suicide by carrying the fight to the
Duluth slugger. McLarnln, after tak
ing one terrific beating from Petrolle,
had learned that style of battling
was fatal. He made Petrolle do the
leading In two subsequent bouts and
won them both on close decisions.
But Battallno gained his most not
able victories by his eternal aggres
siveness and he thought he could
whip Petrolle that way. Billy was
too wily for him. At Battallno tore
In, Billy retreated, firing damaging
punches into Bat s face and body.
In the third round he nailed Bat
tallno with a smashing right upper-
cut that slashed the Hartford boy's
noso to the bone and before the bout
was over Battallno was bleeding from
cuts over, both eyes as well.
Through round after round Bat
tallno gamely stood up under ter
rific punishment but he finally
weakened in the 12th. Two smashing
punches to the body made Battallno
sway. Another volley to the head
sent him reeling Into the ropes. Still
he refused to go down but he was
obviously out on his feet and Referee
Gunboat Smith stepped in and
awarded the fight to Petrolle on a
technical knockout.
Petrolle weighed 139 pounds; Bat
tallno 135.

. WOOL HE POUT1
BOSTON, Mar. 25 () The Com-;
mcrclal Bulletin will say tomorrow: j
"A Httle wool has been sold this.
week here but at prices which show a I
iBlowly easing tendency. The mam,'-;
facturers have delayed their heavy-,
i weight openings and bo the wool J
'trade hove no basis of values In the.
i finished fabric upon which to P'e-
dlcate wool values with any assur-'
ance. ,
The market, however, has been i
unsettled again by the action of Hit
National Wool Marketing corporation
In making a sale of 5,000.000 pounds
of adult mohair at a price wh'chj
hardly can exceed Blx cents a pounu '
and which Is believed to have been
5?4 cents. The average .advance of,
the coop and adult hair for 1930 and
1931 Is calculated at about 25 cents.:
The tariff usually collected on mo
hair of this type Is 2& cents (3J
cents clean content). t
"This hair, it Is announced, has
been sold to carpet mills with the '
understanding that it wlil no; 03 ;
used for other than carpet purposes. '
Othrr so-called regular users of ths
staple, however, are disturbed by the
sals and ccntend that they should b?
able to buy at the same price, es- i
pecially as the staple Is government, j
ftnunced in part." j
"The wool trade, . naturally, art
wondering whether they may expect
the wool Leadings of the coop to be j
for:ed on the market, and so they are
moving with unusual caution, t
"Little wiiCi has been moved in the
west and that mostly in Arizona at j
slightly lower prices. j
