Senator Biease and his wife add to
the large contingent in Congress who

New York, Oct. II Pl-Harry Wills, negro challenger for the hea- vyweight title. and Jack Sharkey, Boston sharpshooter, have complet- ed heavy training fo rtheir fifteen round bout at Ebbets field Tuesday night.

 Wills, idle in major competition since his knockout of Floyd John son in New Jersey last year, faces a heavy puncher and clever boxer in the Boston youth.
