one and two man events.
So far as the entries are concerned
il now looks as though the prophecy
of at least goo teams at Atlantic City
would come true. The subcommittee
of the committee in charge OF the cham
pi0nships at Atlantic City have been
doing good work in the way Of organ
izing city associations all over this see
tiOn of tho country.

PittsdeId, Mass; Albany. Troy, Science
Jqdy. and Utica. y. Y. ali of which
