Philip Hess

Philip Hess was an American lacrosse player who competed in the 1904 Summer Olympics. Lacrosse was contested at those Games, and Hess took part as a member of the St. Louis Amateur Athletic Association team, which won the silver medal in the lacrosse tournament. That Olympic silver medal is the achievement for which he is remembered in the record of the Games. The English Wikipedia lead also records that Hess was Jewish. The lead article gives no birth or death dates and no further details of his club career or life, so this entry records only what the page supports and leaves further depth for later research instead of guessing.
