Indianapolis Em-Roes
From Hoopedia
The Indianapolis Em-Roes was a professional, barnstorming basketball team in the early 20th Century. They were sponsored by Em-Roe Sporting Goods Company in Indianapolis. The Em-Roes came into existence when the independent Detch Specials (sponsored by Detch Wheel Company) took on some of the top players from the Central Christian Church team in 1916. The team continued to play until 1924.
