1t looks as though the pennant would come

Best is confident his team is at its best,

Coach Best changed the Purdue signals,

to prevent any repetition of the scare re-
garding the selling of signals to Indiana on
Nov. Is.
The practice last night was secret and
devoted mostly to the instruction of the
regulars in tearing up plays directed at

fectively this season. Kaylor, Miller and
Leslie are in good condition and are count

OPENING OF POLO SEASON
LARGE CROwD SAW INDIANAPOLIS
WIN FROM ANDERSON.
Hipson md Gavitt Scored Goals for
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Game
ut EIwOOd.

Indianapolis people were given their first
taste of professional polo at Tomlinson
Hall last night. when the opening game in
this city in the Western Roller Polo League
was played between indianapolis and An
derson. 1t is an exciting sport and the
crowd took To il at once. Indianapolis
was the first TO score, and this increased
enthusiasm in the game. Indianapolis was
always in the lead, and the final score re-
suited s to 4 in favor of indianapolis.
About $500 persons, very few of whom
were familiar with the sport, watched the
game. Before the first inning was played
nearly every person in the hall understood
the game and shove their interest by fire.
quent applause and roofing for the home
team. The playing field is so laid out that
spectators in any part of the house can
see the play.
Indianapolis outplayed Anderson, but they
had to fight hard for a victory. All of the
Indianapolis players figured in the victory.
Hipson did good work at first rush and his
driving for goals was one of the features
of the contest. Gavitt was also a factor
in securing goals. Way, at half back, did
clever work at blocking the drives from
the opposing players. while Berry's work

His alertness in blocking the ball prevented
Anderson from securing many more goals.
Coggshall played a good game at center.
j. Mooney and T.. Murphy, the two rushes
on the Anderson team, played the best
game for the visiting team. Mullen's work
at goal was not TO be compared with
Berry's defensive work. Mullen spent much
of his time whirling his club and the In
dianapolis players were permitted to drive
the ball into the cage.
j. Mooney made the first rush, and much
clever work was done by both teams. The
ball was driven from one cage to the other
without a goal being secured. Gavitt
scored the first goal with a clever back
hand stroke in eight minutes and nine sec
onds. Hipson made the second goal for
indianapolis in three minutes and eleven
seconds. The first period ended with the
scores 2 to 0 in favor of Indianapolis.
Mooney secured the rush in the opening
OF the second inning, and Gavttt, by a long.
back-hand drive, Gagged the ball. After
Hipson made the rush Murphy scored the
first goal for Anderson in ten seconds.
Murphy scored another goal in five minutes
as Berry left the cage and the Anderson
second rush scored. Gavitt and Hipson
both secured goals before time was called.
The second period ended with the score 8
to 2 In favor of Indianapolis.
Mooney made the rush at the opening of
the third period. and Hipson made goal in
forty seconds. Mooney again made the
rush and also scored a goal for Anderson.
After Hipson made the rush Murphy scored
goal. Mooney secured the rush and Hipson
made goal in thirty seconds. The playing

Hipson the ball was driven to Gavitt, who

erty, and perhaps used part. If not all, the
money in the execution or said several
works.
Whatever may be said of the other ex-
penditures of that period IL seems very
clear for reasons given in a former part
OF this opinion. that the amount used in
the extension OF the Illinois state line can
not be treated as an operating expense, or
the sense OF Section % OF the charter"
The court says that If the directors had
among the stockholders as dividends. the
day OF reckoning with the State would
have been FASTENED by several years, and
IL would be grossly inequitable TO permit
them 10 eliminate the rights OF the state
by Withholding and diverting such profits
into other forms"
The prevailing opinion does not say
whether the Sll7,137 paid by the road TO
the government as revenue taxes should

sufficient, the court says, If IL finds that
enough items sued for are sustained to

ment.
FINANCES OF ROAD.
At the end of the decision the court sets
out a statement which, in brief, shows the
points of the decision. The court says:
From the evidence, therefore. which is
almost wholly %undisputed, the accounting
comes to this:

TALK OF APPEAL.
Attorneys interested i'm the suit and state
officers are discussing the possibility of an
appeal being made to the United States
Supreme Court by the Vandalia. John G..
Williams. attorney for the road. refused TO
express himself upon that point, and re-
marked that he had not read the opinion
and that there is plenty of time to settle
the question of appeal. State officers who
discussed the matter were of opinion that
an appeal would not be taken.
For six years the Vandalia has been in
the hands of a receiver. The main division,
from Indianapolis to Terre Haute. under
the receivership of Volney T. Malott, has
shown a profit, while the branches have
lost money.

the boy a halft-pint bottle which con-
tanned a tablespoonful of a dark-brown
fluid, he said: Take this to a physician
