Both fighters are in It he best of condition, working out is their respective gymnasiums each day. Bayes -report that he never felt better in his life, and la very confident that he will de feat the visiting Gob in tomorrow night's alagging match. Cordon has been training in the Shamrock gymnasium. Portland, for the past two weeks. Word has been received by Matchmaker Harry Plant of the Salem boxing commission, from Joe Waterman. Gordon's manager, that his. boy is; getting into very rood condition.! nd will b ein much better hape! tomorrow night than in his for-j mer fight with Bayes which re-j suited in a referee's decision fa-! Toring the sailor. Gordon expects' "To- shout "Ship a hoy! Ship a hoy! Mao over board via a kayo!" inj the early part of the fight. Irj their former match both fighters! were injured, Gordon breaking his thumb in the second round and Bayes entered the ring with an in jury to the eye, which he received in another mix. Tomorrow night both will enter the ring in the best of condition, which can result in nothing less than a fight from tart to finish. Neither one will; take the coun tuntil he has put! everything he has in the fight. Both are real crowd pleaners. Not a person went home from their last clash but what they de clared It to be one. of the best bouts in this city to date, and de manded a math. Both will weigh in a 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at 126 fintlnfla Rflvoi nnnr tt-oftrha 1 S pounds and will stay at tha weight until tomorrow morning when he will reduce to 126. In his last fight with Gordon he weighed in at 124 pounds with Gordon going at 125 and 3-4 pounds. Everything is now in readiness for the bout at the armory declarer , Matchmaker Plant. The dizzy " lighting system used at hte last Bayes vs. Gordon fight has been scrapped, and one of the best light ing systems that can be had for a bout will be used. Due to the filming of the last bout it was necessary to use the dull blue Light, but it proved to be very tiard on the eyes. Matchmaker Plant reports that ticket sales are going very good Jails come in dally from every part of the state making reserva tions. Bad weather conditions will be the one and only thing which will limit the crowd. In the par lance of the ring, the match looks like a "natural" and a near-capacity house is expected tomorrow night. Now as to the preliminaries. On the list we see Pete Willert, of Sa leui. matched with Buzs Rumley of Eugene for a four three min ute round special event. Both these men have been seen in action here before and that's "nuff sed." They are both big eggs and can -Vfjf on the bacon. Willert has been showing up exceptionally well in his last bouts, and reports that he la all ready for the battling Buzz. Then there is Ray Jacobs, who fought Pete Willert to a draw in a special event at the Cleghorn vs. Hobba bout, will step into the ring to exchange blows with Young Watenburger of Independence. Watenburger has also been seen .la action here in former bouts and a. . nas aiways proven to De a real fighter and crowd pleaser. Harry Savave of Albany will again meet Toung Guy Hickman in the cur tain raiser. These two lads have never failed to put up a - real battle. S T NEW YORK. April 2. (AP) The U.

The scientists were invited to. place their bets beforehand; but as the judges had difficulty in telling one worm from another after the start, the bete were declared off. The race was put on during a lecture on "the behavior of ani mals." It was easily arranged, for the lecturer. Fullerian profes sor of physiology brought into use beams of light from which the worms scampered away as fast as they could as soon as the ray shone on them. "The worms seem to be as afraid of a strong light as we hu man beings are of the dazzling light of an automobile," Profes sor Huxley explained as the racers hurried across the lecturer's "field." A feature of the race was the neck and neck finish of run ners as they wriggled with all their might and main, each trying to get ahead of the others. STANFORD MF.KTS DEFEAT EVANSTON. 111.. April 2.
