The rough-and-tumble game between In
dianapolis and Anderson last Tuesday night
was evidently a good advertisement for
the polo game last night between Indianap-
oils and Racine. for the largest crowd of
the season filled Cyclorama rink. There
was no smashing Of polo sticks over the
umpires face or players heads and no
fist play, but the contest was exciting, even
If Indianapolis did win by a decisive score
of to 1.
There was just enough element Of rough
ness in the contest to make it exciting, and
although the score shows that indianapolis
won easily, the game was fast and brilliant.
Gavitt scored all Of the six goals for Indi-
annapolis. but he was ably assisted by Hip
son. Gavitt's driving was accurate. and
but for Sutherlands work at goal the score
would have been much larger. The work Of
Way at half was gilt-edged, and he blocked
many drives for the cage. Coggshall also
played a good game at center. his defensive
work preventing Racine from getting into
the game in the, first two periods.
Racine failed to score until the latter part
of the third period, when Whipple Gagged
the ball, preventing Racine from being shut
out. Smith and Cameron also played a
good game. The crowd expected much from
Devlin. Racines new center, because he has
been dubbed Young Corbetts double, but
Devlin did not play star game. There is

TERRY M'GOvERN WILL MEET JOE

other Matches Being Arranged for
McGOvern-TOm Sharkey Anxious
TO Meet-Ring Chatter.

Terry McGovern has returned to New
York. He has tired of trying to get on
fight with Young Corbett, and will now de-
vote his attention to meeting some of the
other little fellows. Terry does not need the
money. but he wants to fight. His first bout
will be with Joe Bernstein before the Wash
ington Club, of Philadelphia, on Feb. 2.
They are scheduled to go six rounds. Man.
ager Sam Harris will arrange other bouts
for McGovern SO as to keep him active.
McGovern has done but little fighting for
a year and half. and it might be said his
expenses in that time have been enormous.
while he and Young Corbett have been very
expensive to club managers. 1t cost Bob
Gray about $500 for his experience in
trying TO pull off fight between the
featherweights and Manager Cnsidine,
of the Detroit Club, paid $500 for MCCOY
ern's expenses while in Detroit waiting to
see if the Detroit club could give the match
The fighters can make UP their losses in one
good bout, and Considine was not so hard
hit that he won't be able to square the
expense fund, but Bob Gray has had no OPP
portunity to recover his loss and may not
have for some time.

INSISTS UPON FORFEIT.


Tom Sharkey has left French Lick and
will be in New York this week. where he
will insist that Jack Munroe cover the 81 500
forfeit already deposited by Sharkey for a
match. Sharkey says he will have no diff
ficulty in taking the championship aspira-
tions out of Munroe when they meet. The
sailor is anxious that the winner take all
OF the purse, but will agree TO a 75-25 per
cent. division, as suggested by Munroe.
Sharkey will meet Dan Mcleod in wrest-
ling match next month, Mcleod agreeing
TO throw the fighter three times in an hour,
and will return to French Lick to continue
training for the match with Munroe.
Sharkey says he will go TO Montana in
plenty of time before the fight in order to
become thoroughly acclimated. Sharkey
says his real desire in re-entering the ring
and taking on Munroe is to have a chance
of meeting Jeffries again, as he believes
he can win from the champion.
