Say Which In order to speed up the calls which almost swamp the Daily Democrat, basketball fans are requested to kindly say which game and which tournament they are inquiring about. There are two tournaments in progress at the same time, namely, the national Catholic school tourney at Chicago, and the Indiana state high school tournament, at Indianapolis. Much valuable time is lost when someone calls and asks: “have you heard anything from the tournament, yet?” or something similar. The Daily Democrat is making every efpossible to supply the fans with the scores of the games in both tournaments and any and all cooperation from the fans in making their inquiries clear and brief will be appreciated.
