Behind one sits quiet-voiced Patrick Edward Crowley of the New York Central; behind the second sits energetic Daniel Willard of the B. & O.; behind the third sit the chubby brothers Oris Paxton and Mantis James Van Sweringen. On each of the three Boards a different consolidation game is being played. Last week two bold moves were made on the Van Sweringen board.
