Spectators at the baseball game at
Chutes park yesterday afternoon saw
Polytechnic defeat l.. A. high In the
second and last game of the SEMI
final series by a score OF TO ., anu
were entertained to a free-for-all mix
up at the Polytechnic grounds AFTER
the game.
Chagrinned by their defeat the Los
Angeles high players and sympathiz-
ers attempted to ''get the goat of the
Poly team, but were as unsuccessful
in this feat as in the ball game, and
in the fracas that resulted fists flew IN
wild confusion and clothes were torn
from the backs of many OF the play
ers. Many bumps and bruises were
handed around before Principal Housn
of L, A. high and Assistant Prlncipal
Dunn of Poly came on the grounds
and quieted the incipient riot. Both
principals finally succeeded in quelling
the disturbance and announced that a
rigid investigation would be held and
suspensions handed out to those who
were guilty of participation in the dis
graceful ARRAY.
A dummy goat, brought out by Poly
players to celebrate the victory, was
the innocent cause of the trouble. on
the goat were painted in large letters
the scores of the basketball and base
feated, and the supporters of the blue
and white lost their heads in the ex-
citement of defeat. A grand rush was
made for the goat, and this the Poly
supporters resented. but before the
melee was finished the goat was torn
to shreds. Hats were lost, clothes
were torn and participants on both
sides bear marks of the ARRAY today
Red" Henrickson of Poly was
~. 4 nd RrVQnf n
student of Poly, received we'll aimed
blow on the point of the jaw, that put
him temporarily out of the battle.
Rotten eggs, which evidently had
been gathered with careful fore
thought, were thrown about regardless
of where they landed, and the affair
will leave an odor in school athletics
as strong as that of the aged eggs.
The game was we'll played and
showed great improvement over the
first contest. Beach. who went on the
mound for Los Angeles high school,
twirled effective ball, but was given
poor support by his fielders. Porter
and Tompkins were the opposing
pitchers for Polytechnic.
