dropped his second match In as
many weeks via the foul route
at Medford Armory last night

Gust Johnson, Pacific coast
Junior heavyweight champion,
the winner after each had gain
ed a fall.
Wagner caught Johnson's arm
around the ropes and refused
to heed Yoakley's command to
break. Yoakley tried in vain to
pull Wagner off and when he
couldn't do so, declared John
son the winner.
Not realizing he had been
awarded the bout, Johnson
clamped on a leg strap which
was immediately broken up.
Wagner protested long and loud
over the decision amid lusty
boos from the fans but It gain
ed him nothing.
First fall had gone to Wag
ner on a series of knee lifts
and a body slam and the second
fall was won by Johnson with
a leg strap.

Flying Swede May Remain In
United States After Races
By Jack Cuddy
United Press Correspondent
New York, Dec. 22 U.R)
Rumors around the Smorgas
bord circuit indicate that Gun
der Hagg, the swift Swede who
is scheduled to arrive next
month, may remain in this coun
try, get married and raise a few
American Hagglets for future
Olympic games.
This would not surprise us.
although Gunder the wunder's
current plans ostensibly provide
for his return to Sweden in
April, after participating in sev
eral indoor meets in' the east
and midwest and one outdoor
run at San Francisco.
The haberdashery salesman of
Malmoe Is scheduled to head for
the U.S.A. about January 1. He
opens his American invasion in
the Philadelphia inquirer's
meet January 27. The rest of
his indoor itinerary Is now be
ing decided upon by meet rep
resentatives of various cities
who sesssoned last week sit
A.A.U. headquarters in New
York.
Hagg is NOT being handed to
these meet promoters on a silver
platter. If they want the world
two-mile record holder for their
games, they must first agree to
give a large cut of the gate to a
certain war fund, the name of
which will be announced later.
Because of his feather-footed
fame, most of the major meets
probably will accept the proposition.
On his previous American
visit, in 1943, the slender, long-
leggea swede registered eight
consecutive victories in various
cities. He Is expected to run
about nine times on this tour,
appearing probably In Phila
delphia, New York, Boston,
Cleveland, Chicago and San
Francisco. It is likely that he
will run four times in New
.York at the Millrose, New
York A.C., and Knights of CoL
umbus games, and at the nation
al championships. . '

LEAGUE ON COAST
San Francisco, Dec. 22. (U.R)
A single West Coast Profes

will replace the two loops in
action during the past season,
Rufus J. Klawas, president xf
the Pacific Coast Professional
Football league, announced to
day. Revealing the merger of
teams In the PCL and the rival
American Professional league,
Klawas said the reorganized
circuit would comprise ten
teams, with only San Francisco
continuing to furnish two clubs.
However, Klawas said, one
team franchise still has not been
selected. It will either be a sec
ond Los Angeles team or a
Fresno-backed club, he added.
