him, to be a section worker. He
said that, suddenly, the man
sprawled in front of the locomo-
tive before he could stop the
heavy train of cars.
Rohrbeck was killed instant
ly.
Mr.. Rohrbeck is survived by
his wife, Flora, by a daughter,
Mrs. Edward Schinnig, of Fras-
err, by three sisters, Mrs. Mary

Bluffton High Nine Will Play Three
Games During The Next Six Days

With wet grounds resulting in
postponement of a tilt scheduled
with Lima Central Tuesday after
noon, Bluffton High baseball team
must play three gamesd uring the
next week.
The schedule for the next six-day
period will be as follows:
Friday-Lima st. Rose, here.
Monday-Lima Central, there.
Tuesday-Lima st. John, there.
Bluffton will face severe test in
the st. Rose game, for both schools
are vying for a chance to unseat
Lima South from the league leader
ship.
Among their victories, the st. Rose
nine turned back Lima Central, with
the hurler for the Cardinals strik-
ing out 18 men in the contest.
Central will not be a push-over,
particularly in view of the fact that
the Pirates must meet the Dragons
on the Lima diamond, and altho the
locals defeated st. John handily in
the first meeting of the season be-
tween the two schools the Johnnies
have been playing much improved
ball since that date.

Mack vs Saunders AfNeW Britain

New Britain, Jan. 8-After weeks of a diet of strictly amateur box ing, fight fans of this and sur rounding cities will be offered pro boxing tonight at the Stanley Arepa. Johnny Mack, local fistic favorite who has kept his fists sharp by winning IT bouts in a row in his Army camp, meets Leroy Saunders of Jersey City in the top bout of eight rounds. Mack is on furlough, and is said to be in top shape by Manager Herb Crowley, who points to his Army fight record as proof.
 When he last fought here, Mack packed the Arena, dropping a de- cision to Joey Peralta that was roundly scored for several minutes by a demonstration that all but lifted the roof of the hall. Johnny had won a strong of fights up to then and was strong local faVorite.
 Saunders is a crowd-pleasing club-ilghter, who recently met both Ike Williams and Freddy Archer.
