Ballou, of Fort Wayne, the Berne Community Auditorium very likely will collect more than SI,OOO outstanding in pledges on the building.

The case in which the judgment was rendered was considered a test case, inasmuch as then* are many other pledges unpaid, the individuals claiming that the contract between the officials of the auditorium association and the signers of the pledges lias been violated. All of the outstanding pledges are expected to be paid now. unless the decision of Judge Ballou should be reversed, which is not likely. o Bob Juday To Go To New York To Jump Bob Juday, the well known Fart Wayne high jumper, formerly of Geneva. will leave for New York on Jan. 27. to compete in the high Jump at the seventeenth annual invitation indoor games to be held by that city at Madi ison Square Garden.
