Polarization of inclusive ..lambda..'s and anti-..lambda..'s produced in the reactions pp ..-->.. ..lambda.. + X, pp ..-->.. anti-..lambda.. + X and K/sup -/p ..-->.. ..lambda.. + X on liquid hydrogen were measured. The experiment was performed in the M4 beamline at Fermilab with an incident beam momentum of 175 GeV/c and covered the kinematic range of 0.2 < X/sub F/ < 1.0 and 0.0 < P/sub T/ < 1.2. The results, when compared with previous experiments at different energies, are found to be energy independent. The polarization of ..lambda..'s produced by K/sup -/'s has been previously studied at incidence beam energies of only 32 GeV and below. This experiment presents the first data at high energy.
