Boyd's City Dispatch of Manhattan has been in the wholesale name business for 105 years.

Hartford, II, '34 barely eked a win from his persistent opponent, Guilford Stewart, by his accuracy in placing shots out of his reach, and then finally breaking down the latter's resistance. S. E. Davenport, III, '34 scored the only other win from the Clubmen in his five game set with R. B. Merriman, Jr. '27. He finally tired the latter out by continually driving the ball down the side walls.
