Logansport achieved a great am
oitlon by defeating Frankfort, the
peoples choice for the 1891 title.
in a quarter final game Saturday
morning
1t was q great tournament.
Teams competing we're a bit under
par in many spots. Few games
were thrilling right from the
start down to the final gun. There
seemed to be indecisiveness on the
part of the officials, particularly on
out Of bounds balls, which in some
instances made differences in the
scores.
But Indiana high school basket
ball presented its regular collection
OF great players. In selecting The
Times au-state teams for 1881 the
writer meets the situation as a
coach would in being obliged to
select the five men to play the game
on the floor. Eight and lehman
squads only would indicate lack of
courage on our part. After watch
ing every minute of every game of
the 1881 tournament, we offer our
selections with a distinct reason
for every choice.
Center Berth Problem
Choice between first and second
team members became really dis
putable in only two places. While
Jack Mann, big dusky Muncie CEN
ter, was the high scorer of the tour
nament. principally because there
was 70 one to guard his extreme
height in the Kendallville game.
where he made seven field baskets,
it is felt that Mann was not as fin
ished a net player as Dejernet. Big
Dave carried the brunt in what
might be called a two-man Wash
ington team. He was alert, played
fine defensive ball, and without
doubt was one of the finest Of
fensive men in the tourney.
Mann, rarely in the defensive
fight, at times appeared dazed. Da-
vison continually kept him cooled
down and in the fight. To Dawson
goes the credit for being the Frank
Carideo Of the Muncie team-the
coach out there on the floor. He
ranks closely with herman and
Meade.

class.
Catcher Tom Angley was the hit
ting hero Sunday with two home
runs and a single in four efforts. He
was retired in the eighth, but it took
a long run by center fielder Guidat
to nail his drive.
Angley's first circuit clout was
against the strong wind and it went
over the right center field fence
after one down in the second stanza.
He singled in the fourth and in the
sixth blasted a Wallop to deep CEN
ter that enabled him to score stand
ing up. Furthermore, ngley showed
signs OF improvement behind the
bat and it is apparent that if Tom
can forget the hip hip Murray days
at Georgia Tech he will earn him
self another trial in the majors. The
chunky youth swings heavy war

Herman HolShouser operated on

Sunday and Leslie Barnhart went
the other five innings. The Column
bus FASTENERS got one run off Hols-
houser and he struck out six men.
He easily outpitched Kenneth Ash,
formerly of the Cincy Reds. Barn
hart's record also was good, the
three runs made of him being un-
earned. Fingers on both teams
were bothered by the cold breeze and
bases on balls were distributed
freely.
The Indians broke the scoring ice
in the first inning when Curt Walker
slapped a triple to right center with
Monahan on ahead. Curt a'-1 drove
in another run in the seventh when
Montague romped home after
Guidat ran down his long fly.
