So many members have suggested
that the same plan be followed for
checkers az for cards, starting a fresh
list as soon as there is only one sur
vivor. that this plan will be adopted
in future. This being as good a time
as any, there being only one sur
vivor on the seventh honor list. all will
start from an equal. footing on the pres
ent series OF ten.
Seven honor lists have been published
SO far, and no individual has held his
place for more than three times in sue
