ward topping the season with success
when they elected Johnny Gaeth, presi-
dent; II. T.. Harris, vice president. ana
+. c. Baldridge, secretary and treasurer.
These three Inen have been connected
with the local amateur world for several
years and IL is generally said that either
one Of them would go miles out Of his
way" to turn a trick In favor Of the
sport.
Johnny Gaeth is probably the most IA
miliar figure in amateur ball at the pres
ent time.
He managed tdhe indianapolis Rupps
for eight years, and during that time
turned out a club that was welcome IL

He knows the game and can get plenty
of work out Of any player.

OTHER GYMS.
The Knights of Columbus and Elks

ming TO go deep in all branches of sport
during the future.
The park board gym will be included

affair, open to all athletes in the city at
all times.
When Indiana was granted a separate
A. a. L. charter a little more than
year ago. il was believed that athletics
would boom in the state, but owing to
the shortage of pep and gymnasiums
the organization had hard time making
Roadway.
Next year the city will be fairly

given more consideration by the various
organizations in Indianapolis, and the
necessary boom is bound to follow.
