to the winners publicly as a mark of acclaim and in the interests of good sportsmanship.

And speaking of sportsmanship we were particularly edified to note that this Tournament too was marked by high degree of sportsmanhip despite the keen competition. Again “Pep” Diliinger and his crew performed capably. “Pop” assisting Mr. Sabo as Secretary of the Tournament (seems to have become indispensable. Al Jozik of the home-office and Marge Nemeth of Branch 48, New York City worked long and hard to keep the tournament going. Vivacious and always in good humor Marge was sort of unofficial greeter. Among her duties was the task of dispatching the busses, which ran on a regular schedule, from the Hotel to the Alleys. Al Jozik dispatched them from the Alleys. Incidentally there were a total of seven busses used.

Besides the trophies; the checks for the prize winners are being prepared as this goes to press. They should arrive within the week.

It might be well here to list the runners up in the various events; starting with the Men’s Team eventi we will list the first four places after the winners. In the Men’s team event Bavarian Beer, Br. 129 Columbus, took third place, and $100, Reedy’s Ravishers, Br. 15 Chicago, and Lachman Lopers of the same branch took fourth and fifth place with prizes of fifty and thirty-five dollars.
