The long expected game of polo between
the Crsw lers and the Creepers took place
last evening at the John street rink. To
say that the majority of the players Of
both teams had selected appropriate names
to be emblazoned upon their shirt fronts
would be putting 1t too mildly, as they
were about as clumsy set OF leather
chasers as one could desire to see. Tie
Crawlers when they were not holding on
to the sides of the rink were crawling
along the surface of the floor. The creep
ers did no creeping in standing position,
but did their creeping on their hands and
knees. Walter Kenney was the umpire,
or at least attempted to do so when not
surrounded by the players attempting to
change his decisions. The Crawlers, after
tremendous struggle, won the game by
the score of II tot.
