per end are generally pretty solid. Tliey
usually Mtaud together. They glie and take
until they get a combination, and then they
maintain their prestige by throwing a practi
cally solid ioie te the Het-up. It was easy
from llie first te ciystalliAe en Iteiinelil.
There is a big soldier into here, and It was
uatuially for lilm ; his alliance with Steh
man has helied tlie latter here. The "boys"
are Melld tee fei yeiiim Christ knell man for
