ILast Chicago Whales Indiana Harbor
Fast Polo Game Is Pulled Off at Lewis Rink Last
Saturday.
(BY SPIKE.) The East Chicago polo team put another crimp in the Harborites' chances for championship honors at the Lewis skating rink Saturday night, when they captured their second straight victory from Indiana Harbor by ,, a close score of 3 to 1. , Never before In the history of the Lewis- skating rink has such a crowd been packed into the hall and fully fifteen minutes before the game was
called standing room was at a premium. It is estimated that in the neighborhood of 450 people witnessed the game. Since polo was introduced into East Chicago about two weeks ago for the first time this year a general liking has been taken to the great game, and front all appearances it is gaining a firm foothold and promises to be one of the region's winter sports in the future. From the time the first rush- was made until the .whistle blew at the close of the game spectacular plays were common and the crowd went wild with enthusiasm when each difficult
play was made. The East Chicago boys were there and here with their clubs every min
ing fof securing a quintet, but. as yet nothing has developed. The following lineup was used: Indiana Harbor Cooksey, first rush; Sternberg,' second rush; Mclntire, center;. F. Smith, half back; Lewis, goal.
East Chicago Bald, first rush; Car
roll, second rush; Mitchell, center; Hewig. half back; Groat, goal.

ute. and you needed a rood nalr of
eyes. to watch the pellet. East Chicago played rings around the Harborites,'
and Bald, having Sternberg's angora, had him up against the -wall most "of the time. Groat, the goal tender, , and Dutch Hewig of East Chicago played an excellent game, each making several of the best, stops, while Mitchell was in the middle of them all, showing a little class by pulling the ball from under their clubs. Hewlgwas injured during the third quarter and the game was called for ten minutes. . It was said that some Harbor player tried to put him out of the game, but he was able to resume his same star playing and the crowd was surprised to see him do better than ever. . Farmer Smith . of Indiana Harbor also put up an excellent game.
Cooksey, East Chicago's little one-
armed youngster, was the favorite of the evening and handled the club with an arm with clever ability. He beat Bald to the ball every time and at one time his drive come nearly being a count, but Groat was there, making a
beautiful stop. V The score stood 0-0 in the first quarter and before the third was up East Chicago pushed three counts through the goal, holdlitg Indiana Harbor down to nothing until the last five minutes of play, when they "scored their only point. The two teams are anxious to see other polo teams organized in Lake county, and . an interesting league could be formed. Hammond Is talk-.

DIRECTOR HUFF TO REMAIN AT ILLINOIS Crbana, 111., Jan. 29. Inasmuch' as the conference expression against university officials taking employment from professional baseball clubs is not mandatory, general belief at Illinois is that Director Huff will not be disturbed. Mr. Huff is to assume new duties as scout for the Cleveland American
league club in June. His stipend, it Is reliably hinted, for two months comes close to the sum the university pays him for the rest of the year. There will likely to be inclination
here to insist. upon a decision , by the coach. There would be too much fear
that he would cast his lot with Cleye land.

The Chicago - scrapper " realizes that this is the. big chance for him, A popular decision over Klaus will push him far along toward the championship, which," of course, "is the goal of his ambition, and Brown intends, to make the fight of his lite against the hardy German.- The Knockout "party has a bad. cut under his left eye, received in -fight with Sailor Petroskey, and Is hoping that It will not be opened up during the encounter.
