reason there are rumors in circulation
that Harlan's is likewise guilty Of play
ing ineligible players, which Is the
charge against Chester, in the two
games in dispute. Chester is holding
a club over the league by threatening
TO quit. 1t is said.
The agreement reached last week at

that team were eligible. that the games
should be awarded TO them. but n any

playing ineligible players.
I'VE are going TO get those two

Gallagher. we played only eligible
players. and we have the proof
to back this up. What's more. we
have not played players under an as

skirts are clear, and the records taken

say is the truth.
