CLASSY CARD OF
EmITTMEN SLATED
FOR JANUARY IS

Johnny Harko Of Manchester. who
at the present time is busily engaged
In the mitt game in this vicinity, will
get a real test Monday. January is,
when he stacks up against Eddie
Thomas of Boston In twin SIX at
Augusta City hall. Harko, VINO Is
rated as one Of the fastest featners
ever ct do his stuff in this State, mas
also a damaging waIop as a NUMBER
of his victims, including the once
mighty Steve Travers will TESTIFY.
Harko has fought in Lewiston,
Rumford, Portland, Bangor ana many
other boxing towns in the state OUT
up to this time Augusta fans have
waited in vain for his appearance.
Eddie Thomas, who Will pc III .ne
opposite corner, is a whlrlWlno s'yie
of battler who will rely on ms as-
gressiveness to keep the Pollsh llasn
on the short end or the ueciaio Az
THOMAS is one of the younger set III
the feather division, being still short
of 21 wears, but is hailed as sure
conner. He Is at present an honorary
member of the stable OF AL Delmont
and his never failing action alaWvs
makes him a welcome drawing cara:
Delmont is anxious to exhibit seVeldi
more of his performers in future
bouts in Maine and isn't gong W
spoil his chances by a poor sno"inS
on his first invasion.
Larry Walsh of Dexter, who mas
been taking several weeks tralnihs
in BOSTON in an effort to polish up
furnishing wallop to go along with
naturally clever defense, is gong 10
return to Augusta, this time as tne
opponent of the hard hitting Ropert
Jones of Portland. Walsh likes the
boxing game and intends to stay III
It and as an impressive showlns
against the Portlander will help the
PEWTER flash to secure more bookings,
he has announced his intentions OF
sending Jones back to the big city
with a lot of hard earned experience.
Ted Kid Lewis of Waterville, a
nroduct of the recent bouts held IN
that city, is slated to stack up
against Young Merrill Of Gardiner
who thinks he has ability enough TO
take everything the Elm City rep
resentative has to offer and at the
same time give plenty of punishment
himself. A local boy and a Gardiner
aspirant to a career in the squred
circle will perform in the curtain
raiser. :,
The main bout will be over the IL
round route and should be hum
mer in every sense of the word
Harko has performed against every
classy boy in this State without los
ing any of his prestige, but whether
or not he will be able to withstand
the stubborn attack of Thomas is a
question. The choice of principals
in the bouts by Harry Sears was a
careful one and they should be at
tended by a large crowd of fans
who have been. attending every one
of Harko's battles with the expecta-
ton of some day seeing him meet his
match.

BOUT FEB. 18TH

New York, Jan. S.-(AP)-Tiger
Flowers, Atlanta Negro and Harry
Greb of Pittsburgh, the champion,
will meet in a middleweight title
match in this city Feb. 26. so far as
the state athletic commission is con-
cerned, according to Chairman Far
ley.
At the commission meeting Tues
day, a suggestion was made that
Flowers face Dave Shade of Califor-
mia in an elimination contest. The
commission already had accepted the
Negroes challenge and forfeit money
for the Greb battle.
Farley explained that the attitude
of the boxing officials had been mis-
understood and that there had been
no attempt, as rumored in some
quarters, to draw the color line
Greb, he said, had requested more
time before meeting Flowers and the
commission had ventured the Shade
suggestion. But so far as the Of
ficials are concerned. the match can
go on as scheduled, he added.

France Likely to Refuse Any
 Transfer Of Its Authority
LEAGUE MAY GET REQUEST

Spain, It Is Explained Wants Tan

 That She May Sto, Arms Snug
 gling.
 Paris, Aug. f6 Pl-The French government has received a memor- andum from Spain expressing the desire of that country that the in ternational district of Tangier be at tached to the spanish zone in Nor occo.
 Refusal Is Expected
 The French cabinet is considerino the question brought up by Spain but it is generally conceded in poll tlcal circles that Frances reply will be an absolute refusal.
 The Spanish memorandum says that if it should be found unfeasible to make transfer of authority in Tangier from international to Span ish administration in any other way. then Spain will ask the League of Nations tO give her a mandate over the district along with the whole spanish zone in Morocco.
 Wants To Stop Smuggling
 Spain's requo that administra- tion of the district be confided to her alone, instead of to an interna- tional body, is based on her feeling that 1t is necessary for the Spanish government to have such control of Tangier as to enable her to prevent the smuggling of contrahand arms which were largely responsible for the prolongation of the Riffian war.
 It is understood that the memo randum was handed to the United States and other signatories of the treaty of Algeciras by which Tan gier was internationalized, except Germany, Austr | and Russia. a few days before it reached Paris. The delay in transmission to the French government tn, S far has not been explained.

Flash Daniels has vanished He gained further notoriety when he broke confinement at the Meriden iockup last night shortly after g o'clock and disappeared. In spite of the fact that the Meriden police have devoted every effort toward finding him and have communicated with the police of every city and town in the state, asking that & watch be kept for him, his where abouts are not known.
 Garland w. Daniels, as he is known to his family, had been at the Meriden police station since Mon- day awaiting extradition proceedings which would take him to Raleigh, North Carolina, to answer to charge of stealing an autom )bilc. But he couldn't wait. Last night he smashed two locks that barred exit through heavy doors and went his merry way, neglecting to give mo- tice that he was leaving.
 Used Iron Bar.
 Daniels, who is 23 years of age, and had lived at 34 Wilcox street during his residence in this city, used an iron bar in effecting his escape. The fact that he had broken jail was first discovered by Sergeant Schuerer of the Meriden police at 9:5O o'clock. According to the ser geant, who was doing desk duty at the time, the man was in the cell compartment corridor 20 minutes before the break was discovered.
 Allowed Freedom of Corridor.
 His pleasing personality and his ability to mix easily with people completely disarmed police officials who allowed him the freedom of the cell room corridor instead of placing him in cell. He remained there throughout the day. In making his escape the iron bar which was found in the corridor was used to pry open lock barring the door leading from the corridor into the women's cell room and another lock attached 10 a door leading from the women's cell room to the basement corridor to city hall. From there he is be- lieved 10 have made his escape through the automobile entrance
