HAMMOND BEATEN
BY EAST CHICAGO

In one of the toughest polo games
that has ever taken place at the Lewis
skating rink, East Chicago, the Dave
Lederers of Hammond met defeat at
the hands of the East Chicago skaters
last night by a close score of / to o.
Football boxing and wrestling shared
a part of the contest and none of the
above sports had anything in the way
of roughness on the polo game last
night.
II was just a case of who could slam.
push or pull the hardest. and from all
appearances East Chicago had the best
of 1t. A rule was to the effect that IL q
team makes three fouls in any of the
three parts of the game a point will be
taken from their scores In this way
East Chicago lost one of their goals
three fouls being called in the second
part of the game A number of minor
injuries were received during the
game, but no serious enough to keep
them out of the game. all players be-
ing able to resume play.
The game drew a good sized crowd
but the audience was Disguised at the
rough tactics used by some of the East
Chicago players. Miller of East Chi
cago severely bruised one of the Led
to the floor, causing an injury to his
| arm which nearly kept him out of the
game.
The Lederers came near scoring a
| number of times during the game. but
the East Chicago goal tender kept the
pellet in safe distance of the basket
sending Hammond back home with q
| whitewash. Hammond surely did not
have a horseshoe with them last night
and played a losing game while East
Chicago was there with the luck.
| Whether Hammond and East Chicago
will ever meet again remains to be
seen. as the Hammond lineup will not
| stand for any more roughness as was
| demonstrated last night. Both teams
used the same lineups as was used iT
the first game between the teams, wher
| Hammond won by the same score.
