TINE mobilization of 1000 teams
i for participation in the 1886
A. B. G. tournament, to be held at
the State Playground coliseum next
March and April, was the chief sub
ject of discussion at the weekly
meeting of the indianapolis A. B. G.
Tournament Corp. in the SEVERN
last night.
With the appointment of several
committees during the next few days,
nothing will be left undone in the
solicitation of every prospective en-
trant in indianapolis. Pin leaders
from all sections of the city will be
enlisted in the final drive to reach
the goal set by the local organi-
cation.
That participants in the great in
door classic need not be expert pin
topplers will be stressed by all COM
mittee members. Local leaders feel
confident that if Syracuse, N. Y,
site Of the 1885 event, was able to
put over an entry of HOO teams, In
dianapolis should easily reach the
1000 mark.
The work of converting the coli
scum into a modern bowling plant
is in full blast and within few
weeks installation of the 80 tourna-
ment alleys will be started. A mod
ern heating plant is being installed
and every visible crack is being
sealed. assuring both participants
and spectators warmth and comfort
during the progress of the tourney.
Information regarding the event
may be obtained at the corporations
office, 521 SEVERN Hotel. A force
of well-informed workers are On duty
constantly. The workers will be glad
to lend their aid to any person not
acquainted with the more perplex-
ing angles of the event.
