AnotHer Pennant 

 for Indianapolis 



By the Bee Crank 



Greatness has been once 

 more thrust upon Indiana- 

 polis — this time by her 

 baseball team in competi- 

 tion with players from sev- 

 en other large cities, from 

 Minneapolis to Louisville, 

 and Kansas City to Co- 

 lumbus, Ohio, comprising 

 the American Base Ball 

 Association. 



As if the distinction of 

 having the bee-supply 

 house that holds the record for the 

 most perfect and prompt delivery 

 service was not enough! 



Indianapolis has also broken the 

 association record of attendance at 

 any one ball game — more than 

 21,000 people witnessing the after- 

 noon game of Labor Day, which 

 shows what a hold good clean sport 

 has on the affections of the Ameri- 

 can people. 



I have not permitted baseball nor 

 any other attraction to interfere with 

 my specialty of prompt shipments. 

 The following letter is not unlike 



many others that I receive. 

 Read what the other man 

 says — note how it agrees 

 with what I say: 



Lawrenceville, III. 

 Walter S. Pouder, 

 Indianapolis, Ind.
