well fortified with some of the
Windy City's leading scorers.

Two of Chicago's outstanding
quintets were among the top ten in
the. five-man event as the result of
some heavy bombarding during last
nights two sessions. Birk Bros.

with an avalanche of strikes that
Melted it the second highest in the
histor yof the annual tournaments,
an 1859. The Windy City five had
opened with games of $40 and 938,

following openers of CAT and 984,
they totaled 2942, which was good
for seventh place in the standings.
Loren Burning with 642 and Joe
Fliger with 62i were the teams
heavy scorers. Waldorf Harvest
