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.

thumb in the second round and
Bayes entered the ring with an in

in another mix. Tomorrow night
both will enter the ring in the best

nothing less than a fight from

take the coun tuntil he has put!
everything he has in the fight.
Both are real crowd pleaners.
Not a person went home from

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

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

Eight racing worms were ueed
by Professor Julian Huxley to en
liven a meeting of members of the
Royal Institution. 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.

manager and part owner of the
Seattle Indians, will pilot the San
Francisco Missions; Jimmy Mid-
dleton will attend to the manager
ial duties for Seattle under Wil
liam Klepper, president and one
of the new owners. Klepper for
merly owned the Portland club.

novation.

tion. A cash prize of $26,000 al
ready has been agreed ur in. -to

ury. If one club wins both sea
sons, it will receive $15,000 with

holding second and third place in

England. April 2. (AP). Set
ting a new high record for royalty
the world over to shoot at, the
Prince of Wales "scored" three
falls in the Harkaway club race
meeting Saturday but was wildly
cheered for his pluck anyway.
The prince participated in two
teeplechases and each time the
.'ourth fence gave his royal high
ness trouble. He wrecked two
smart riding costumes but neither

seemed to suffer.
In the first race the prince's
mount refused the fourth jump

hedge. The heir to the throne
however, remounted and spurred
his mare at the obstacle again but
he tangled her forelegs and the
prince hit the dirt for the second
lime. By this time Wales decided
hat he couldn't win that race and
retired.
He changed mounts for the sec
and race and at the same fence
his horse stumbled and the princt
suffered a third fall. Undismayed
he tried again and this time
cleared the obstacle and finished
fourth in tbe midst of deafening
applause.
On Thursday the prince was

he has seen a real fight."
Heeney experienced extreme

it half way down the back.
"This is worse than fighting
