clared Dean Samuel Z. West, rector
of st. Peters Episcopal church, in

personally within two weeks. Among
those cited were his own case, con

having been bettered.

munities where there are no sports
mems organizations, nearby associa-
lions have been asked to further the
work. Individual sportsmen are asked
