Aa in former years there, the field events will be held immediately in front of the grandstand and the track battles will be tough- on the one-mile track Preparations for the local meet will be started immediately and one of the best sectionals Id the history of high school athletics is predicted by local officials. Manual. Sbortridge. Technical, NoblesTille and Bosley were the schools that fought the Indianapolis sectional fight last year. These five schools will be seen in action here again May 15. and it is probable that a few new banners will fly in the fair ground grandstand. Beech Grove, one of this year's new entries in the 1.. H. S. A. A , is sure oi competing here. . The Manual. Shortridse and Tech squads are gradually getting their bearings and are determined to bring the local sectional honors to this city. Manual looks like the choice to do this. Coach Morrison was fortunate in uncovering a few good new men this season and around them he has built a formidable looking outfit. In a three-cornered meet at Willard park last week. Manual ran up a big point total on Shortridge and BrownsU Tbe Tech squad has little to boast of at this time, but it is working bard at the east side school and may be able to stock up in first-class shape in the district meet. Evansville and Greencastle are the new districts named. According to information from Trester there will be from five to twenty schools assigned to each sectional. *0 SQL ADS IN LAPORTE MELT. The Laporte district with twenty entries. will set the pace.

In view of the fact that the member ship of the athletic association was boost ed almost 50 per cent during the past basketball season, it is only natural that Trester predicts a record track entry. Elghtv schools sent thinly clads after laurels in the classic last year, but more than 150 have already signified tbelr Intention* of trying for a place in the track sun this season. Coaches throughout the state are grooming their squad* for the meet and real battles are expected in every event

The defeat of the Hoosiers yesterday, when the locals grabbed the series opener, 3 to 1, made four straight knockouts suffered by the Indians, and Manager Hendricks was a worried man today. The Kansas City club braced and whipped the flying Saints a.id if the Blues start moving, in that manner the Tribesmen soon will be occuping the cellar position, unless the Uoosier athletes settle down. George Murray, recruit, went the full route yesterday and though he gave only three hits he was mild and issued numerous passes and also hit two batsmen. Even so, Murray would have got along In good style had it not been for the cracking of his defense. Five errors were chalked up against, the Indians and these, with the wildness of Murray, gave the Senators their openings to push over the runs The Tribesmen kept up their bitting throughout the game, but they found Leftv George tight in the pinches and most of their eleven blows were wasted. Six of the Tribe's eleven hits were oh tatned by Uoosier youngsters. Shlnners, Wolf and Murray, and that fact ''a* about the onlv cheer that Manager Hendricks received out of the afternoon’s work. a It was Shtnners - first full game ns a Tribe outfielder and he performed in excellent style. Murray, though wild, also demonstrated that be has wonderful gameness because, despite the fact that he got Into several boles, he held his nerve and with good support he would ha-re escaped. His

Wagner forced Brainerd at second, but in trying to complete a double play, Schreiber threw high at the plate. Magee scaring and Wagner reaching second. Bad fielding and Murray's wildness were jointly responsible for the second Columbus run. With one man gone in the sixth, Brainerd singled to eenter for the first real bit for the Senators. Wagner sent a long fly to Sbinners on which Brainerd was able to reach second. Murray purposely passed Pechous to get at George, but the latter got on. through Murray’s high throw to first. That filled the bases and Murray was unable to get the ball over for Bescber, who walked, forcing in a run. The final Columbus score came in the seventh. Taggart walked und Magee sacrificed Wolfer bounded to Murray, who threw to O'Mara In ampl** time to nab Taggart, but Oille dropped the assist.
