With Charlie Strain and button for

who have played either with former

While tn. police are talking Of u

that the representatives of the two
big public-scrVicc departments can get
together in one regular clash at Broad

iucs are popular In the larger cities,
and the two benevolent associations
could derive tidy sum by such a
