Following the big tournament at
Buffalo, the interest will shift to
Gary, where the fifth annual state
tournament is to be held, beginning
on April 4. According TO advance
dope Gary will have by far the largest
entry ever accorded a state tourna-

their own city.
Another severe Shake-up of the per-
centage column resulted after hostili-
ties ceased in theC-A club league last
week When the bell rang the Giants.
Singers and Stars were tied for first
place. The forme% were given an
fourth place with the GAGS and
Colts. Singers won their series from
the Cubs and now have absolute con-
troll for the first time this season, while
five weeks ago they occupied the cell
lar.
No material changes were noted in
the Studebaker league. The Reaches
and SpOkes continue their even battle
at the top OF the heap with the Stems
well intrenched two games behind
them.
Defeated three games and still gain
ing advantage over their nearest COM
petitors in the percentage column is
what occurred to the Standards in the
Walther league last week. post
poned contest. between the Interstates
and Seniors which has been hanging
fire for three months, was played and
resulted in the Interstates losing two
of the three games. AS the Interstates
also lost three games TO the Juniors
the former lost five games during the
week, while the Standards, the league
leaders, lost but three.
While the Elks league race was con-
gested a week ago, the play during the
week has accomplished a revolution
with the result that the clubs are now
well strung out. The league started
with the first five teams being within
two games of each other Although
series against the Tylers the latter
rolled 1.056 in the middle tilt, and
avoided a cleanup and, incidentally
kept in the procession.
But for Captain Miller stubbing his
toe at the crucial moment there would
now be a thTee-game tie for the
hOnOrs in the Antlers league This
incident gave the Antlers an oppOrtu-
nifty 10 tie the middle game of the
FawnS-Antlers match aud the latter
won in the rOll-o6. thus avoiding a
shut-Out. The Tusks took advantage

not hurt the latter in the race, but
pulled the Tusks up 10 second place.
one game behind the AntlerS.
The loss OF a couple of games by the
Studebakers 20 the Singers, gives the
Factory league race better COM
pleXiOn. This still leaves the leaders
with a two-g game advantage over their
nearest rivals. the Singers with the
Watch CO. next in line. AS the teams
at the other end OF tie percentage col
umn have been showing better form of
late. the fight is apt to become inter
