GiUfiDETTA FADES in -Terrific Battle Expected, Pelz May Box Winner in Next Fight Card Promptly at 7:30 every night Cobby Clark begins a bard and serious workout at the local arm ory, in preparation for bis coming ' fight Friday night with Frankie Grandetta, the boy wonder of Tf ollywood. Bobby realizes that a victory over the famous pet of the film stars will just about make hi reputation as a fighter, and is training with a -proportionate amount of enthusiasm. Comparative scores, the oracle BO much used in predicting the oatcome of football battles, might also be applied to the coming bat- . tie. . "Both boys have fought Willie Gordon, Portland scrapper, and the results tney hat, in meeting him can be used as a basis of cora ' parison. Orandetta's fight with . Cordon is fresh in tbe minds of most fight fans, and resulted in i a hair-line decision for Gordon. Bobby Clatk fought Gordon last ytar and managed to win a draw" vith him- eo the comparative dope ,- gives Bobby the edge against . GrandeUau. . Not many, fight fol lowers go so far a to predict a victory for the local boy, how ever, but most of them agree that ' the fight will be a close one , .Judging from the reputation of , both men, the fight ought to be as good as the terrible battle put on here recently by Phil Bayes and Benny Pelz. It will be just as rioee and probably faster.. Clark is like lightning in his movements : and Grandetta has also won quite .

This record included games of the state tourn ament. v Loss of .fohn Drager at center will mean los of the tipoff. Coach Huntington believes; Homer Lyons who is taking his place, : a good floor man and works the ball well, but does not have quite the alti tude needed to get the tipoff con tinually. Cummings, another good center, will be ineligible because he will be 21 years old before the time limit expires for eligibility.

In affirming ''the tit nv of Judge C. H. McColIoch of ti e Ba ker county circuit court in the case of the state of Oregon vs. Kphrium Barnes, the supreme urt todav said it was within the province, of a jury to infer from the appears ncos and tirvam stances surrounding a case a; to whether or not a person was 1n possession of intoxicating liquor, although the liquor in question was at the time cached away. Barnes was arr?fi-:-i on an abandoned ranch in Baker ounty. At the time of his arrest lie was in the vicinity of a liquor cache and in his automobile. some 7 5 or 100 feet away were several demi johns. On the ground near the car was a shovel. "It is immaterial whether the defendant hgd actually deposited the liquor where it was found, or its hiding place revealed to him by the party who did deposit it, or he otherwise learned of its place of concealment. He was found there with his own auto mobile, with the necessary tools for excavating the liquor, and with containers customarily i,sed for I me convenient, nanaiing oi liquor. The jury could infer from all this that he claimed the right and had the power to control, manage and oispose of the same. If the de-J ftndant had the control of that liquor concealed as it was, he was guilty of unlawful possession thereof.' , - f Other cases were passed on by" the court yesterday as follows: Mary A.
