The Pros' second game of the season was the only one they ever played in their home city of Hammond; most of their "home" games were played at Cubs Park in Chicago. The game, played at A. Murray Turner Field (mostly used for baseball with a capacity of only a few thousand), produced Hammond's only win of the 1923 season, 7-0 over the Dayton Triangles. The game's only score came in the fourth quarter when left end "Inky" Williams scooped up a fumble at the Dayton ten-yard-line and returned it for a touchdown; future Pro Football Hall of Famer Fritz Pollard kicked the extra point. (It would also be the last regular-season NFL game played in Indiana for over 60 years, until the Indianapolis Colts moved from Baltimore in 1984.)
