Turner has an- nounced that should Hagen be unable to wrestle he will book another bout between two other grapplers.

LACROSSE LEAGUE OF PROS PLANNED Baltimore Slated for Berth. Teams of 7 Men, Not 12, Aré Proposed. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. HERE is a definite movement on foct, the writer has learned, to organize an international la-| — crosse league of professional '] teams. New York, of course, will be repre- sented. In fact, the project originated in that city. Baltimore will have a team and other American citles to be selected later. Montreal and Toronto will be the Canadian members. 'hat is wanted is a game which will draw spsctators when hockey is not in season and it is belleved that with lacrosse properly exploited and played under the Australian rules, which call for a seven-man team, the interest of the hockey following public could be aroused. Twelve-man teams as employed by the intercollegiate league and club organ- izations in this country would not do as a monsy proposition, inasmuch as play is not sufficiently compact and there is | too_much loose running about. Under the seven-man system, lacrosse in action, in attacking and defensive | systems, closely resembles hockey, md| while not so fast as its ice brother, it | does involve fast men maneuvering and race element accentuated. This being o, there would seem to be something better than a fighting chancs of finan- cial success in a professional organiza- n.

ALTIMORE, May ‘The main bout of a wrestling match here last night ended in a knockout, and the blow was delivered by a 200-pound 6- | foot spectator on the jaw of DMk Daviscourt, a Californian, who had a stranglehold on Gino Garibaldi, an Italfan. Daviscourt recovered from the blow after ‘reaching his dressing room. There was a lump the size of a pigeon egg and a cut under his ear. The assailant, who was ar- rested and charged with disorderly conduct, gave the name of Thomas Lusso when booked at the police station. He gave a Baltimore ad- dress and declared he was a grocer. He refused to discuss the incident. The attack came after the bout had been in progress about 20 min- utes. Daviscourt had wrapped his hands around his opponent’s neck. Referee “Cyclone” Burns ruled it a stranglehold and tried to break it as Lusso entered the ring. College Sports Base Ball. Michigan, 7; Ohio State, 3. Yale, 10; Hosel (Japan), 3.
