...reunion of McKenzie-Condon's Chicagoans-the band organized by Guitarist Eddie Condon and Kazooist Red McKenzie in the 1920s. Among those present: Condon, Saxophonist Bud Freeman, Bass Player Bob Haggart, Drummer Gene Krupa, Trumpeter Jimmy McPartland, Clarinetist Pee Wee Russell, Pianist Joe Sullivan, Trombonist Jack Teagarden.

...Sullivan's court was the most exciting of the day, as he and Princeton's Bart McGuire alternated at winning games until Sullivan pulled out a 15-6 victory in the last. His other point scores: 15-13, 5-15, 15-11, 11-15. The pattern of play was typical of Sullivan's matches: long rallies and some rather hair-raising gets...
