AS ATTRACTION
East Chicago Rink to Have
Good Attractions
This Week.

East Chicago, Ind, Dec. Z2.-Man-
ager Fred Heintz yesterday purchased
the uniforms for the new Calumet"
roller polo team, who will play the
Harbor aggregation at the Lewis rink
in this city on Thursday evening. The
suits comprise a cardinal skull cap,
gray sweater jackets, with maroon
trousers and present a very attractive,
yet nobby, appearance. The boys are
playing hard for the first game and not
a little talent is being developed. The
game on Thursday should draw good
crowd from both this city and the Har-
Dor, who have been taking an interest
in the latter team for several weeks
The lineup of the new "Calumets" is as
follows:
First rush, Fred Heintz; second rush,
Will Carroll; center, Charles Mitchell;
half, Morgan; goal tender, Barker or
Kimball; substitutes, c. Smith and Val
Brown.
Commencing next Monday and last
ing until Friday evening, Fielding and
Carlos, Americas greatest costume skat-
ing team, will appear at the Lewis
rink The attractions will be held both
at the matinee and evening sessions,
and as they have been brought to East
Chicago at an enormous expense, 1t IS
but right that Manager Heintz should
be awarded the patronage of local roll
er enthusiasts. There will be la
dies race at the rink this evening, a
gentlemen's race on Friday evening and
the big masquerade party on New
Years eve, at which arrangements will
be made for the reception Of at least
800 people.
Manager Heintz is working night and
day in an effort to give the people their
moneys worth and is making splendid
success at his work. The rink floor
is now in excellent condition and is
nightly filed with from 100 to 200
skaters, who find in the rink a pleasant
place to spend an evening after hard
days work.

LANGFORD DEFEATS
FLYNN IN |ST ROUND
Pueblo Fireman Knocked
Out in 2 Minutes and
Ia Seconds.

San Francisco, Cal. Dec. p. - The
fight between San Langford and Jim
Flynn was so short that it was be-
wildering. It was all Langford and
Flynn lasted just two minutes and
fourteen seconds, a very little longer
than did Bill Squires in front of Tom
my Burns.
True to his word, Flynn fought close,
or rather, tried to fight close. He
crouched and went for Langford on the
double run, but the negro had him
sized up as thoroughly as though they
had spared round the vaudeville cir
cult together. Langford used upper
cuts and downchops. His uppercuts
got through Flynn's guard and smashed
into the face. Langford used his right
with a downward direction and seemed
to strike Flynn in the neck.
AS the men parted from the two or
three clinches that occurred there was
a very sober look on Flynn's face. 1t
was the look of man who felt that he
was up against it. But still Flynn
rushed AS he made his farewell charge
at Langford. the negro used his right
for an suppercut for change. The
blow took Flynn around the lower of
the face and threw him wide open. Then
up came Langford's left, the punch
catching Flynn beneath the chin, lifting
him from his feet and placing him on
his side on the floor. He rolled over on
his back. threw his arm wide and
stretched out his lower limbs like fell
low who was there to stay. He was
dead to the timekeepers voice and the
referees arm motions and was counted
out

OVER REFEREE
Promoter Mcintosh Pre-.
diets 10000 People Will
Witness Fight.

Sydney, N. S. w. Dec. 22.-Tommy
Burns and Jack Johnson are squabbling
over the selection of a referee for the
big heavyweight championship battle
which is but four days away. Several
names have been suggested thus far,
but the two men have been unable to
agree on any one man. Burns wants r.
L. Baker, the we'll known Australian
boxer to officiate as the third man in
the ring. Johnson'has objected to Bak-
er, but has given no reason for his
refusal to accept him.
There is little fear that the hitch
over the referee question will prevent
the fight. The sporting editor of the
Sydney Referee will select the official
provided the men are unable to reach
agreement between themselves.
