times he thrilled when it was
thought that a new Worlds record
for consecutive Joints was within
his reach.
In fact, his finesse, technique,
brings back memories of those days
when Alfred De Orc and the late

De Orc or Sherman, Greepleaf's
play is not characterized by that
deliberation at the table which
sometimes grows irksome to the
spectator.
He shoots with an abandon which
at times indicates a certain amount
of daring and recklessness. This
is probably due to the fact that he
so far outclasses the opposition Of
