Bond Has Better Chance of Victory Jimmy Bond will hare a better chance of taking Henry Jones to nlaht than ha had In their flrat meeting- here. Bond had heard a - lot snout tno loxinees or Jones and as a consequence failed to . follow vp some of his good leads. Howrrer Bond states that he .will be more aggresslre tonight and feels confident that he will win. -Jones knew that Bond was the stronger in their last meeting so -lost no time at all, but went'to work with the - first gong and staged a whirlwind attack which set the crowd Into a frenzy of ex citement Bond took one fall and In spite of the fact that Jones took the other .two, the youthful grappler from Boston was the crowd's fa vorite and had the largest follow ing of any grappler who has shown here this year. v Robin Reed will meet Toung Hackenschmldt who Is heralded as one of the fastest and best of the younger welterweights and one with great possibilities. He Is a son of the great hearywelght grappler Hackenschmldt who won bouts from Strangler Lewis, Son aenberg and other great heavies. The explanation for Toung Hackensehmidt's presence in this section is the fact that the world's .welterweight championship belt Is In Oregon. In the possesrlon of ' Robin Reed of Reedsport who has -- been doing a wonderful job of de fending the coreted pants holder. There has appeared In this sec tion a large host of top-notch grapplers of Reed's weight, dating from the time that the Reedsport Robin returned -from the mid western with his new crown. Reed has been traveling in the fastest wrestling company of his weight ; for the past six months and : now employs erery deriee possible to win his bouts, for win ning Is the requisite of a profes sional athlete whether he be a 'boxer, wrestler, baseball player or what not. Robin has lost a few friends by taking up with some of the pun ishing tactics such as stepping on his opponent's arches, but he Is winning his bouts and the show be puts on is much to the crowd's liking. - .

Played tn Junior high. Elliott of Leslie Junior high may giro him a good ran for the Job, having had two years of play at that position under Flesher. Tor halfbacks there wttl be Ni cholson and 8ugal, though the flashy Japanese will not hare time for practice this spring as he Is working. A good-looking prospect la J11 slnger, who Is speedy and may de relop Into a good broken field runner. Mason and sereral other Junior high ball toters will also be arailable. Lee Welsser will be back to play fullback and Eckstein may also re turn, though he has been out of school for a while this semester. . For center Huntington will hare to break in a new man and now flgurea that hard-working Phfl Brownell may be the logical man for that position. Also Andy Hal rerson Is a good propspect as he Is a touch hombre and exnarianeAA at that position. Fisher will be back to play guard and shows promise of being a great player in that position. For tackles there will be big Moody, who enjoys the game Im mensely, Rein Otjen, and Sam Earle, who now approximates 100 pounds and will probably be shitt ed from guard. Hoss is a 215 pound man who might be able to fill one of the tackle positions. Engle Is one of the best looking prospects for end, being fast and clever and a good ball handler. Coach Yemen GOmore will scour his gymnasium classes to find the best looking prospects in school and get them out for prac tice.

If It la true that the S. H. S. LAGKK1G Prospects for- an Excellent Team Seen if Finance 1 B Riddle Is Solved V Prospects for baseball at Salem high are the best and the poorest they hare been for a number ot years according to ' deductions from the situation which presents Itself B0w,;v4l;-r.';- The reason tor this paradoxical situation Is that from the stand point of seasoned veterans and prospective rookies and transfers from other schools,' the material la almost as strong as could be desired for a high school team. Yet with all the players and their willingness and anxiousness - to play, there are no funds for a baseball team.' . V Principal . Fred Wolf - Informs Coach HoUIa , Huntington that there will be ho money on which to . operate, as baseball was: not Included In. the budget made np at the first of the year. There is a possibility that fol lowing spring football, a baseball schedule will be drawn up pro Tiding funds can be found to take eare ot the few expenses which would be lnrolred. Huntington states that the . players might take eare of part of the expenses, particularly ot equipment. Two rPtrlTig From Strong 1831 Team Tan Cleare, star hurler last season, and Herbert Craig are the only players who are not return ing. Perrine pitched some great baseball last season and should be eren better this year It he gets Into proper condition. Then there Is Jack Bowden who played first, base last year and also pitched occasionally who can be used this year. Bowden'a pitching was wild last spring, bat he played some good ball last summer and showed good control of the ball, if jack can eontrol the apple he wfll make a great pitcher this season because he has more smoke than a forest fire. In addition to these two there will probably be some ot the Par rlsh and Leslie Junior high chuck ers who may derelop Into good high school moundsmen. Pete McCaffery, the 'peppery catcher, is back to guard his old position and should be better than ever this season aa he played considerable ban last sum mer. Groves will also be on hand to alternate with him. Jack Bowden handled first base In coed stria last vaar. and will he right there this season. it mere is a team, if he is called for mound duty Perrine could handle the Initial sack or young Soecm Delaner. stellar haada an player for Leslie Junior high last season, eouia ao a good Job of It. Infield Will be Well Provided for Little Dan McCarthy will be back to play second base. He Dlars a headr ram a at that noal. tion and has a speedy underhand peg. Kamp will be back to play, shortstop and will find competi tion in Elliott of Leslie and Jim my Nicholson ot Parrlsh. Nichol son is also an outfielder and may be used there. Mason will also be back to cor- er third base, making the Infield Intact. He win hare competition In another Mason who was an outstanding hot corner man for Coach Gurnee Flesher at Leslie last spring. The outfield conld he an araet duplication of the American Le gion Junior team'a weed waders If Huntington so chose. Ramp, Vic DeJardin and Jimmy Nichol son will aU be on hand. Howerer VanCleare will probably be re tained for the outfield because of his hitting power and Scheib ner is another heary sticker who wfll doubtless be of ralue. There are also a number of other Junior high men coming np Who mar make : tha srrada and Huntington reports a number of irmnsier stuoents wno are rase baU players. All . the lorers of horsebide walloping are disap pointed at not havtn a taam with a full season's schedule. - His Detroit strength of a club Is measured by a line drawn from catcher to cen ter, the Tigers may or may not meet the test.

So far, the three Salem banks hare experienced rery little in quiry for the baby bonds recently Issued by the gorernment through the Reconstruction Fi nance corporation, a check yes terday shows. These bonds bear two per cent Interest, are In 150, $100 and 1500 denominations and may be converted Into cash after 00 days. The Issue In smaller sises Is to encourage circulation of money. "There Is little hoarding; here and on that account there 1 no particular demand for these bonds." W. S. Walton of Ladd and Bash said. This sentiment was also indi cated by United States National and First National banks. All three banks, while not baring the small bonds oil hand, win order for persons desiring them. Money paid for these bonds re main in the bank from which they are issued instead of being handled through federal reserve banks. - Honor Students at .

' Ohrstrom borrowed money from the Federal to loan to tke gas corporation, and when tke loans were . not repaid Federal took over . securities of the gaa corporation. This drain on the cash of the Federal caused It to borrow hearily at banks. To re duce these bank loans Federal cut off first Its Class A dividend and later It preferred stock div idends.

IMS OF CUTTING SCHOOL COST R'ED In line with the demand aa necessitr of reduclnr tha budget for Salem public schools. Superintendent George W. Hug is expected to present two possible methods of reduction when the board meets at the hlrh school to night. First, he suggests that all principals be required to teach one class, thereby eliminating oae instructor la each school. Alterna tively, he would reduce salaries ef Instructors who now receive In ex cess ot 11500 a year. Further reductions may be re commended : thronrh nirir thm saperrlsory staff, eliminating a paid . band Instructor and doiaT away with the position of roea tional director. Head of depart ments who hare been drawing a la-xnonus salary would be placed on a par with other instructor in this respect, .
