Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1921-04-22

1t wouldn't be a bad Idea for the
officers of the various leagues in the In
dianapois Amateur Baseball Association
to see that the sports department of The
Times gets a schedule Of their respective
leagues. The Bankers League is the
only one that has been heard from.
The amateur frolic at Tomlinson Hall
last Light was just d few notches above
the success line. A whole mob Of
amateurs, amateur boosters and lama
teurettes' turned out for the dOlngs, and
they had q great time, besides putting
the association on a much better financial
footing.
Now that the frolic Is off the books,
the next big thing to figure on Is the
opening day procession The Sandlotters
are whipping their rorces together Tor
this event and they are bound and de-
termined to step out in big league style.
They even have a feeling that they can
get over bigger than the Indians dla on
their opening day. That's taxing IN
lot Of territory, but If the organizations
represented in the association get behind
their clubs the thing should amount 10
q whole lot. President Harris or the as
ISOLATION will call a meeting next week
to arrange final plans for the opening
celebration.

traction at Bedford Sunday, when they
