Chester, one of the big out of town
aggregations. The Delaware County
Club, headed by Bris Lord. is always
there with the punch in the pinch and

visitors.

"A' teams uptown are busy. Two of
the four contestants mingle, at Rich

members Of the northern section and
meet in that series starting in several

the edge. The wcavers have been given
