PLAN PRO MHO ATFORTWAYNE ('hick Wagner, Billy Locks To Meet In Return Bout January 7 Fort TTayne, Dec. 31.— Heading n 32-round professional fight card with a ID-round match. Chick Wagner of this city will clash with Billy Locks, the slashing South Bend featherweight at the General Electric club next Tuesday nigut, January 7. They are to weigh In at 3 p. m., the day of the fight and the weight calls for 128 jxiunds, two pounds over the featherweight championship limit. Both Wagner and Locks are neck and neck In their rating for a shot at the Indiana state featherweight title. The coining fight Tuesday wilt chalk up the third time these two little demons of destruction have faced each other. Wagner won the other two tilts by the smallest mar gins imaginable after stellar tights that see-sawed back and fourth until the final bell. In the two bat ties there were a total of f.vo knockdowns with Wagner getting the worst of Che exchange. In their last meeting, which occurred at the General Electric club on De comber 17th, Wagner escaped a knockout in the first round by the proverbal ‘‘skill c* “• teeth.” Just before the bed ended the session. Locks pole-axed Wagner with a right shot to the jaw sending the Fort Wayne gladiator to the canvas where he rolled unconscious. A couple of seconds before Referee Nick Ellenwood could reach the toll of ten the gong rang. Wagner was carried to his corner under the wildest disorder from the spectators. Chick's seconds used every known method to revive him and succeeded so that Chick was able to stagger out at the bell. Locks drove him against the ropes belaboring him with both hands. After some 30 seconds of this Wagner fell face forward. At the count of nine he pulled himself off the Boor and braced on legs tnat threatened to fold up under him. waited on Lock's charge. Bill?' was on him like a wildcat but he failed to take into consideration Wagner was still , dangerous. As the South Bender closed, Wagner hit him with everything he had with a right flush to the jaw and Locks went down. The blow, a hard one but one that had onlv half of Chick's steem on it. failed to keep Locks down for longer than a few seconds. He was strong as he arose and punished Wagner severely the remainder of the round. Chick took a lacing in the third and held Locks even in the fourth. Chick scored heavily from then on until the eighth, siowlv but surelv w <nfn<r treks’ advantage away. In the last round Chirk nmi"d t*® Sooth B“nde r on the , a w wl’h a right hander nearly knocking Locks out of the ring. It was the deciding blow of the night. Billy Locks thinks of but one thing while fighting and that is to knock his foe bow-legged. It is hard to believe Wagner can come

BRilK'O SHOWS NEWOUSI’ESS Hauptmann Somewhat Nervous As Negro Passes Death Cell Tr nton. N J., Dec. 31- -’UP)--Bruno Richard Hauptmann, who has watched five me® pass his cell en -oute to the electric chair, displayed either his first op°n f ar or colossal nerve last night when the sixth of his death house comt;anions walked the last mile. ' With his own death next -on the prison schedule —hardly two weeks away unless something akin to a miracle saves him — Hauptmann sle. t. or pretended to sleep, while Roxaine Johnson, 34-year-old Negro went by his cell to d :ath. Prison officials said Hauptmann lay on his-bunk with hie chest rising and falling in at least a simulation of ’peaceful sleep while Johnson stopped before his cell, said ‘‘goodbye, Hauptmann,” and shuffler on to the death chamber behind a minister and between two guards. Jacob Cimiengx 16-year old boy awaiting execution for murder of a farmer, tailed a hysterical ‘‘goodbye, Hauptmann," and shuffle on to appeared down the corridor, but even that did not arjuse manMark. O. Kimberling. piison principal keeper, refused to say whether he thought Hauptmann was sleeping or merely turning his face from the last execution before his own. but he said the condemned Lindbergh baby killer “seemed a little ntrvous in the afternoon.” Hauptmann's nervousness might have come from knowledge that the s.ete court of pardons, virtually his only hope, met and adjourned yesterday without setting a date for hearing his appeal 'or mercy and that is eight members seemed opposed to granting him a personal hearing. o '.

RAIN THREAT I AT ROSE BOWL —- South Methodist Favored To Beat Stanford In Annual Classic Puaadcna, Calif, Doc. 31. (U.R) Despite staunch efforts of the chamber of Commerce to blow down the sad situation, a threat of rain hovered over the Ros** Bowl today as Stanford and South era Methodist tapered off for the annual fotbnil classic on Now Year's day. Thirty-six hours before the teams were duo to trot out before approximately 90.000 fans, the situ-1 ation was us follows: Ticket scalpers were asking as high as <SO a copy for choice seats. Southern Methodist was a 10 to 7 betting favorite in the Los Angeles money mart. Stanford cohorts were gaining confidence or perhaps whistling in the dark, and declaring the team would not lose three in a row in the bowl. Coach Matty Bell of S. M. V. and Coach Tiny Thornhill of Stanford shattered all Rose Bowl precedent and declined crying towels. Each t predicted victory for his team, al thougli voicing respect for the opposition. Tlie weather forecaster refused to commit himself definitely, but opined that rain drops might fail tomorrow. He said there would be rain today. Al Masters. Stanford graduate manager, disparaged the rain ■ threat, saying a patent drainage I system takes water off the gridiron . as fast as any accumulates. Southern Methodist athletes declared rain would not Interfere with their plans to beat Stanford as they can pass. punt, and run In either wet or dry pastures.
