Teams Entered in Local
District of Big Amateur
Meet Are Evenly Matched

The strongest amateur teams ever or
ganized in this city will compete for
honors in the Indianapolis sectional of
the Indiana 150-pound amateur basket
ball championship tournament at the
Marion club, Feb. 4 and D. The seven
teams on the entry list of the local
district are: Debonairs, South Side
Turner's, "Y'' Leaders, Pair-O Dice, JOY
and Glooms, Lauters and Boys club. To
pick the strongest of these combinations
Is a task that no one has applied for
TO date.
On paper, and In a few other ways,
the South Side Turner's look the best
This squad is composed of former high
school players and included in their line
up are the three captains of last years
Manual, Shortridge and Technical state
teams. Secrest, guard, led the Manual
team: Hennessey, forward, captained the
Shortridge five, and Seidenstecker, guard,
piloted the Technical athletes. Johnny
Rice. all state high school forward of
the Manual team last season, teams with
Hennessey at the forward station. GeOr
and Grund are the other members of the
squad.
Then there are the Pair O-Dice, "Y"
Leaders and the JOY and Glooms, three
undefeated teams, to be considered. The
Leaders have been together for the past
three years and during that time have
gained a reputation that is not to be
laughed at. Last year they were easily
the best amateur quintet in the state.
The JOY and GloOms are practically thu
Broad Ripple High school team of last
year and if they show the class in the
tourney that they have displayed in their
games against the strong amateur and
independent clubs of the state all season,
they will afford tough sailing for any
OUTFIT they go up against.
The Debonairs, Lauters and Boys club
must also be given a place with the
best teams. They have been playing
great basketball this year and, although
they have been defeated in early season
games, they may be counted upon to
put up strong fights The Boys club
roster includes the same men who won
the championship in Wayne Emmelman's
city tournament in 1917.
Season tickets for the local district
play are on sale at II South Capitol
avenue.

ty told a reporter for The Diamond
Drill last summer that he expected TO
double the 1918 shipments and he sue
ceeded in doing so and then some. The
market for Davidson ore last year was
much better than in 1918 which Is the
reason for the increased output, Had
the strikes not interrupted, Mr. Eric
son would have made a much better
showing than he did The Carpenter
and Monongaheia are the only other
mines in the county that exceeded
their output and their increases are
small.
On the other hand there are some
big decreases. principal among which
is the Bristol that is capable OF put
ting out nearly half million tons, the
Balkan that shipped about half and so
on down the list of the big mines on
both sides Of the county.
Iron county could easily have pro
duced over four million tons last year
and II nothing interferes this year that
figure will be well over produced.
