A deluge OF entries received at the

ly connected with the campaign
were confident that the 200 aggre-
cations necessary to gain their
goal would be entered before the
deaoline is reached at midnight to-
night.
The largest blanket entry re-
ceived yesterday was that of the Big
Four Railway League, which en-
tered 33 teams, "a sets of doubles
and az individuals. The Indiana
Bell Telephone Co. registered Is
teams and the Schwitzer- Cum
minis Co. 10.
An extra force of workers will be
on duty in the SEVERN headquar-
ters until midnight tonight, giving
every team and individual desiring

pionship event an opportunity to
register.
From national headquarters in
Milwaukee, Elmer Baumgarten, A.

office is flooded with last-minute
entries, assuring Indianapolis a rec
ord turnout of more than 5000
teams.

opposing Bowes Sealfast. Larry Fox
and Wilt Wimberly were the out
standing scorers for the losers. They
turned in series of 631 and 618.
Other team contests of the eve
ming were also won through shut
