Tonight's Card.
Newcastle at Richmond.

Playing on the Coliseum rink tonight
Newcastle and Richmond will bring
the 1917 roller polo season of the
Indiana State league to close.
Richmond and Muncie are both on
the brink of oblivion. The recent with
drawal of Indianapolis from the cir
cult left the yawning cellar ready to
swallow up either of these teams
which had felt pretty safe as long as
the Indians were holding that berth
Muncie has had her last chance
Richmond has hers tonight. To lose
means that the locals will claim un
disputed possession of the most lowly
position in the threesome. If Rich
mond wins, Muncie must suffer the
disgrace Of last place.

For the same reason that caused the
withdrawal from Bourbon wood, they
had TO give up the village later. The
report that La Fontainc rs nov in
