Star Quintets to Appear
With several crack teams scheduled

New York Central Railroad teams

apt to send some of the present
leaders down the ladder. The Chrys.
Ter Motors, scheduled on the 10:15
squad, is one of Detroit's touted
f1vesomes and they will also bear
watching as they open their attack
on the tourney NAPLES.
