Chief among the manifestations
on which Tribe officials based their
hopes Of a record breaking crowd
in the Indians home lot was the
enthusiasm evident in preliminary
arrangements for the annual boost
er parade to precede the first game
of the season in the stadium on
West Sixteenth street.
Doubtless this years pre-tilt feS-
tivities will surpass those of previ-
Gus years. At least forty floats have
been entered in the parade. Eight
bands. together with several OrcheS-
traS and sound trucks will supply
music as the procession winds
through downtown indianapolis.
And a long procession of automo-
biles will be included in the seven
sections of the caravan.
Amateurs in Parade
Plans for the parade we're detailed
yesterday at a luncheon of the ath-
letic committee of the Chamber of
Commerce in the Columbia Club
A new feature of this years pa
rade will be the representation of
amateur baseball and softball
teams, in uniforms, with floats in
the march.
To stir greater enthusiasm in
the parade and to further the in
terest of amateur sports, The Times
offered trophy to the organization
with the best amateur or Softball
float in the procession.
Yesterday seven teams had en-
tered eight floats, and Carl Gala

Products, Beanblossom A. c., Chris
tan Mems Builders and the Patrick
Henry team, sponsored by the Mar

Reservations Plentiful.
In addition to the interest shown
in formation of the parade before
the game, Tribe officials saw their
hopes of a crowd of $1,000 or more
next Tuesday enhanced by greater
cooperation from local clubs and
business firms, and indications that
economic conditions generally are
improved.
Further despite their initial set
backs at Toledo, the Tribe is one of
the most colorful ball clubs to rep
resent indianapolis in several years.
Reservations by townsfolk and by
out of town fans indicate a greater
crowd than has attended the open
ing game here in past years.
