Fljht faua of Jm and vicin ity are focuaias their attention on the coming bout between Phil Bare, local battler, and Sailor Willi Gordon of Seattle, which wtll be ataced at the Salem arm ory tomorrow night under the aoapicea of the Salem boxing com tntaaion. Interest all op and down the valley has been aroused over the match. Ba.yes. who ha. fought many a battle in the Salem arena, threw a surprise into the fans by taking a well earned draw decision in hid recent mix with Chuck Hellman. Phil has held Benny Pela to a draw In two encounters, save Dan ny. Edwards a neat trimming and lost but one of a number of fights in which he engaged while on a tour of Australia last year. The Bayee-Gordon f'gbt is ex pected to be one of the hottest battles ever staged here and a rec ord crowd with fans in attend ance from all parts of the Willam ette valley is promised. As usual. Bayea will enter the ring with a ""wermlnation to win over Sailor Gordon, which means a real scrap. Gordon is a fellow who fighta from the first round to the last, and has never failed to put up a good fight. In his last fight which was staged in Portland, he defeat ed the clever Benny Pels. Some thing Is bound to happen when these two leather pushers are turned loose in the ring. "Thie is a "fight I have been trying to schedule for over two years" said Matchmaker Harry Plant last night. As long as I have been manager I have never been able to get a better pair of fighters to Salem, and I'm sure the crowd will go wild the minute these two fellows clash," he con tinued. Bayes is going again6t some one this time that will give him a real fight. Phil is confident that be will lick Willie Gordon, al though he s getting accustomed to winning from the better boys and goes into every bout confident as far as that goes. In tomorrow night's fight, the betMng is again all on Sailor Gordon, and Bayee may have to give the fans an other surprise. In scarcely a sin gle fight out of the 96 times he has stepped in the ring has he been considered the favorite. As ta all of h other fights it i hard to predict the winner. Manager Plant believes that to morrow night's bout will draw a record breaking crowd and has thusly arranged to-tpcrease the seating capacity ofithe armory, and new lighting fixtures will also be added. Many Portlanders who witness ed the Qordon-Pelr bout there tome time ago will probably flow down for the event. Tickets have been on sale for some time, and are selling fast, which indicates a record crowo.

Belated visits of winter's rain and chill cast a damper over major league training activities today in Florida baseball camps, either hampering or preventing customary workouts for a major ity of the squads.

George Godfrey, long, broad and exceedingly heavy, closed his training for the bout today with betting odds quoted at 10 to 8 In his favor. This waa a gain for his pros pective opponent, Paul Uicudun, squatty Spanish Basque, whose backers a few days ago were look ing at the short end of 10 to 7 on their man. To state that each man Is con fident is putting It mildly. Big. ort asms BILL PITT Antwerp Is going to be so crowded during the Olympic games that the Americans are go ing to sleep on their ship. So no body will have a kick coming, they'll all be in the same boat. The situation reminds of Paris during the 1924 Olympic games. The place was so full that a fel low couldn't get inside a hotel un til he had taken off his topcoat. People slept on pool tables one person for each pocket. Chan deliers rented at a premium, while lamp posts were reserved far in advance.

The Basque Is confidence per sonified. A fellow countryman who lives In Los Angeles and who tried to sell him some life insur ance today was told: "Go and sell it to Godfrey. He is the man who will need it." Uscudun will concede nearly forty pounds in weight to his tow ering opponent, several inches in height and some more Inches in reach. He will pit 195 pounds against 235. His five feet 11 H inches will go against Godfrey's 6 foot four inches of brawn, and his 75 V,. inch reach will be four and a half Inches shorter than the negro's. A chap in the Rue de La Palx twitched bis eyebrow and caused a hopeless traffic jam. Persons were pried out of street cars, and blasted out of taxi cabs. A number of Parisians live in sewers and the reason did not be come' apparent to the American eye until 1924. The big pipes were the only place In town where you could wiggle your ears without jostling someone. Hotel bell hope would have made a fortune, but the lobbies were so packed the boys couldn't get their palms up to grab the tips. De Leon went around wearing a beard and a pair of tights. Flor ida was the wrong place for him; he should have gone to Hollywood where such things are appreciated and photographed. THAWING OUT Florida Is one of the best states in the Union.

The tournament will start Wednesday evening. March 15. and games will be played morn ings, afternoons, and evenings of the following three day. It was necessary to make such a change in order that competing teams would not hare to play more than two games in any one day. Secretary Cannon favors abol ishing the consolation play and in stead of running off a double elimiation tournament. Coacb Keene and Manager Sparks are working out a play for such a tournament, but find it difficult because of the number of "byes" necessary with 10 teams compet ing. Were there four, eight, or 16 teams competing it would be pos sible to arrange such a tourna ment. Whether a banquet will he h.e!d on the Saturday night following the final game for entertainment of players and coaches and the awarding of trophies will be de cided by the local officials later. Cannon did not favor the award ing of trophies on the floor after the game on account of noise and the lack of lmpreselveness. - All indications point toward Sa lem. Medford. Washington high of Portland and Tillamook as be ing the strongest contenders for the state championship loving cap. Selection of teams representing the various districts In the state will be completed br the end of next week.
