EUTELL, we told you so--a
IMI day before it actually
W happened. The State final
high school basketball tourney
will be held in indianapolis this
year, March 10 and 20. The

to carry out any changes in the
PLAN this season which would

indianapolis is the logical spot
for the meet. All of the trouble
comes from finding a suitable
place to play. The State board
of agriculture for some reason
or other "s0aIs" the high school
association plenty for the use
of the Exposition Bldg. This
year the rental asked is $4,000.
which does not include heat,
light, etc.
The State authorities also
want the /. HI. s. A. A. to sign
a lease for a number Of years.
The huge building would be
standing idle if the tourney was
not held so If the board of agri-
culture makes 500 it ought to

that-no, sirl
Baseball keeps its spot in the
heart Of many, and the youth of
the land still loves the game. The
Playground and Recreation Asso-
citation of America, in statement,
says that there has been an in
crease In amateur baseball, espe-
cially in larger cities, where adj
ditional fields have been provided.
Give the lads chance in the
spring and furnish them place
to play and you'll see plenty Of
baseball. Too many flats and
houses are being built on the lots
where there used to be ball dia-
monds.
