ket ball ~ Indiana that number OF
men interested In the sport are /. D.
noting a state professional league and
hope TO be in shape to launch II next
season. They believe that by importing
some OF the crack players from the
east and taking the best OF the mate
rial available In Indiana they would
be able TO present contests that would
appeal TO the public almost as strongly
as does roller polo In the winter or
baseball In the summer. Many towns
are mentioned for membership in the
league, the list including Richmond
Muncie. Anderson. indianapolis. Craw-
louisville, Brazil, Columbus. Hartford
