Everybody Line Up for Big
Amateur Party Thursday Night

C'mon, guys, let's all square off for the
| big amateur baseball shindig at Tomlin-
son hall, Thursday night Mayor Charlie
Jewett and the rest of the boys" are
going to be on deck and when Bobby
Williams turns his eight-piece "Jazzintst
Jazz" orchestra loose a wild little party
will start down the stretch. So trot out
the best gals have the special occasion
suits" wished and ironed and start the
1921 amateur doings off with a mad rush.
First of ALL the big idea Of this dance,
as President Harris puts 1t, is to bring
all the amateur ball tossers and their adj
| mirers together in q big party, 50 that
a better acquaintance and spirit Of good
fellowship may spring up among them.
Coming a close second behind this is
the fact that the indianapolis Amateur
Baseball Association is badly in need Of
| dough, the kind that buys bread, not the
sort that automatically becomes such.
Right now there is something less than a
half a hundred bucks In the amateur
treasury, and If something doesn't come
along things are going to get bluer than
! the blue laws.
AMATEURS FANS
URGED TO BOOST.
Hence, the dance President Harris
figures that the association Golfers should
be swelled plenty by the proceeds from
the big Tomlinson Hall party. and he
is asking all the amateurs and amateur
fans in the city to turn out and make 1t
something worth the time and labor the
association officers have spent In pre-
pairing for 1t.
Mayor Jewett has been invited to at
tend the dance. and he has promised that
he will report, and shake out few
wrinkles. The mayor admits that he is
not up to snuff on his "skidding.' but
says he still knows enough to make
few of the ball tossers sit up and take
notice.
charge has arranged for several enter
tanning numbers that should put plenty
Of pep In the program. There VIII pc
special singing, dancing and comedy
numbers, and the plans are arranged on
such a large scale that an early start
and late finish win be necessary The
price Of admission is cheaper than the
usual dance cost. so the torso shakers
should have no excuse for missing out
PREVIOUS WINNERS
TO GET AWARDS.
One of the big features at the party
will be the awarding Of team trophies
and individual winners to the city cham
pionship teams Of 1920 and 1913. The
Central Union Telephones copied the
hunting In 1919 and the premiers went
through for the houors last year. Silver
loving cups will be awarded the teams,
while each player VIII be decorated with
gold medal, emblematic Of the J. A
p. A. The reason these awards were not
made before Is that the necessary money
for the purchase If them was not laying
around handy. That shows how badly
the association Is IN need Of amateur
ba seban money.
This dance Thursday night is just the
road to travel for filliag the treasury pot,
so the amateurs should see that tho thing

their bit.
