VEGAS TO HAVE
WORLD CHAMP
MAT BOUT SOON
Ira Dern, Light Heavyweight
Title-HoIder Expected to
Meet Well Known Califor-
nian at El Patio This
Month. .

A world championship wrest-
ling match for Las Vegas this
month!
This is the plan of Jack
HarbertSOn, promoter and bus1-
ness man of this city.
Ira Dern of Utah, light heavy
weight champion wrestler OF the
world, and Leo Papionas, OF Cali
fornia are the men, May 16 is the
date tentatively set, and Ell Patio,
new open air theater at First and
Carson, now nearing completion
is the place.
Harbertson, formerly famous
himself as a mat performer, has
had the promise of both these Dig
wrestlers for some time that tney
would wrestle here, and the prob
lem of a place adequate for such
a match has now been solved by
the construction of the new the
ater. Hence HarbertSon'S decision
to slate the match for this month.
Local Boy to Perform
George Batalis, local boy VINO
showed some great stuff in clean
ing up two matches AZ the recent
carnival here. viii meet either Earl
StoKer OF ogden, now located IN
this city, or some good man to be
brought from Salt Lake 'Sity or
Los Angeles. ~ l' "a
These two matches will furnish
mat fans real high class enter
tainment,' and set off with Datue
royal between five Union Pacl1lc
employees and a certain group OF
five husky wrench welding plumb
ers, should be worth the $3.50 to
IS to be charged for admission,
stated Harbertson last night.
Ira Dern is one of the best-pull-
ing big wrestlerS in the country to-
day, having drawn $4,000 house
in conjunction with Joe Stecher,
former worlds champion in the
heavy class when the two met
and argued for two hours and tlve
minutes to draw in Salt Lake
CITY two weeks ago, at which bout
1000 fans were turned away from
the gate. -
Has Promises
Dern. who is a close friend OF
HarbertSon'S, assured the local man
that he would meet PapionaS or
anyone Harbertson chose to PIT
him against. in Las Vegas at any
time that could be arranged with
out conflict with his other bouts.
therefore he is expected TO wire
hack ives" to HarbertsonS prop
position for the staging OF the go
here.
Papionas, who was specifically
mentioned in Dern's letter to
Harbertson, also wrote Harbertson
ne vas willing to wrestle the cham
MON here. and now the date is the
question upon which everything
hinges.
1t will likely be May l6, and the
machinery is already in action for
the putting over OF the biggest
athletic event Las Vegas has seen
in this class.
Batans, who weights around 165
rounds, wrestles in the middle
weight class. He has wrestled such
men as Louis Miller, Pacific coast
champion and Ray Mcconnell, oi
kansas City having won over the
latter in is minuetS. He wrestleo

Tim Charles of Louisville,

immigration
Is
Brought Up

Nogales business men should
support the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States in it's fight to
prevent passage of the Box bill or
any other legislation which calls
for diminished immigration quota
from Mexico, according to Ben A.
Mayer, field secretary of the Wash
ington organization, who addressed
a gathering of Nogales Chamber
of Commerce members Saturday
morning.
The Box bill, he declared, calls
for limitation of Mexican immi-
grafton to 1900 persons per year
which contrasts with the present
stipulation which requires only the
payment of head tax. Mr.. Mayer
said he was here to determine what
Noga!es is going to do about The
immigration question.
Although the speaker made a
plea for local financial support of
the national chamber of commerce,
the concensus of opinion was that
Arizona and the border cities
were being wei, protected through
