To BATTLE

Bob Laga is claiming that his Mexi-

cred the form that made him famous
when he was in his heyday around Los
Angeles Joe gets chance tonight to
prove that his mentor is correct. The
Mexican will be dumped into the ring
with Richie Mitchell. the Milwaukee
speed boy. for ten rounds in the beer
village. If he can teach Mitchell some
thing in the way of boxing a conserva-
tive person will have to admit that he
is the Brown Joe Of old. Richie is
fast boy. a real good lightweight boxer.
If the Mex carries the goods with
which TO trim him he'll be in line for
plenty Of lucrative work this Winter.
Laga and Rivers actually appear
very confident about the outcome.
Their confidence is the result OF Rivers

worked out tentative plans for the
formation Of league OF professional

Messrs. Davis and Williams believe
i the game can be made to pay in Indi-

eleven. Will be willing to finance the
eleven in this city. providing the
league could be organized on a basis
that would enable the hackers to es-
cape pecunlary loss.
EfEht-Team League Desired.
Briefly. it is proposed to form a
league Of perhaps eight cities in the
northern part of the state. taking for
the nucleus the Fort Wayne Friars. the
Wabash Athletic Association and the
Clabby Athletic Association OF Ham

age team in Indianapolis. would be

other cities like Newcastle, Muneie,
Lafayette and Terre Haute, to estab-
lish teams and join in the movement
The idea, also. is to keep the salaries

and to play a regular schedule or
games at prices that Will be within the
reach Of all and. at the same time.

and that with a regular schedule OF
