Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, March 2S.-At the
meeting of the Western Roller Polo League
here to-day peace was restored and the
rule allowing the lending of players among
teams in the league was annulled. At the
morning session it was decided by a I'M
animous vote 10 do away with the rule,
and the question of the games which had
been played with borrowed players came
up A motion to remove all the games so
played from the records was defeated. An
derson, Marion and indianapolis being with
the chair against such action. This ruling
led to a scrimmage between Managers
Cohen, of Indianapolis, and Henley, Of
Richmond. Cohen wanted to know if he
should bring his team 10 Richmond in the
light of the decision. Henley replied that
he did not know what he would do until
he conferred with his partners Caucuspg
continued all day and another meeting was
called at the rink late in the afternoon, at
which a compromise was arranged. Hen
ley agreed if the game in which Lyons. of
Elwood, helped Marion defeat the Quakers
was thrown from the records, to have the
game which he won over Muncie and in
which metal rollers figured, thrown off also.
This took game from Richmond and
gave them two more games to- play. The
days work was a hard one for the mana
gers and was considered a critical one in
the life of the league.
