BARNEY ROSS BEATS KLICK Chicago Fighter Scores Easy Victory At Miami, Florida Miami, Flu.. Jan. 29. (UJ»—Mr. Ffftnklo Klick didn't. didn't click, I m*>ati. They Kant Hit* Frisco kid out against Barney Boa* hero lust night and at the finish ot 1" rounds. Hankie n-adtly broke down and admitted that those pre-battle statement* of his. In which he promised tit chase the light and jitior welterweight champion out of i the park, were u trifle exaggeral- j ed. He ronld get only three rounds, and the more expert critics at the ringside such as Sophie Tucker, Jwt i Pearl, Helen Morgan and the Cantor man. were of the opinion that at least two of these were handed to him on a silver platter by the generous and sympathetic Hess. It didn't require an expert, however. to understand why Itoss won the decision. It was very simple -the smooth, highly geared Chicagoan could do everything a little bit better than Ills opponent. He hit a little harder and a little faster; he moved more quickly, and he thought more quickly and he had a shade better of it in condition though he may have gained the edge there when he drove home a right In the second round that kept Klick down for a count of nine. The bell probably saved the Californian In this heat, for lie came up waving like a bride ul the railroad station, and Ross had his right drawn back like a long bow when the round ended. If 1 have made the scrap sound like a complete walk-awav for Ross I’m wrong. For it wasn't. Klick was good enough to keep Ross hustling, and several of the rounds, particularly the vTO.-Tug ones, were wickedly and savagely contested. o Central Grade Five To Play RlufFton Tie Central eighth grade team will play the Itluffton eighth grade ;.t I.Tlufftoa Friday evening at ti o'clock.

Assets vill total $14,000,000, including $7.“tO.OOO cash, as against liabilities of $3,000,000. Attorneys representing common stockholders opposed to the plan said they would appeal, but attorneys for the receivers said 75 per cent of creditors, 23 per cent of preferred stockholders and 20 per cent of common stockholders ap- ! proved the reorganization and would fight to maintain it. j The fight of Studehaker's receiviers to beat the jinx of a receiver- ' ship began on the very day they were appointed in March, 1933.
