teams that will battle here for the right
to compete in the finals are rapidly
rounding into form and the fans are set

at the game he is receiving congratula-
lions from all sides. Last week Emmel-
man received letter from Francis Bacon,
former member of the famous Wabash
Wonder Five and the Indianapolis EN-

nament for the amateur teams Of Ohio
and has informed Zimmerman that he
would like to match the winners of the
Indiana and Ohio events I'm a three game
series for the amateur championship of
Hoosierdom and the Buckeye state.
The possibilities Of this plan going
through will make the Indiana teams
work much harder for the championship
The indianapolis teams stack up nicely
and IL is believed that the winners of the
local sectional play will come out on
top in the final round scraps. Season
tickets for the indianapolis sectional
went on sale today at II South Capitol
