Oak Park Whist Club Loses Chicago Final For Duplcates Cup
The Oak Park Whist Club faced Chicago Duplicates in a Saturday match for teams of sixteen, losing by eleven tricks. The victory awards Chicago Duplicates first place and the cup. Oak Park fought hard and performed remarkably under the circumstances. The club hosted a full dress dance Tuesday night, well attended and enjoyed, with many pretty Oak Park girls present. Annual officers election is near, hoped incumbents will return due to strong administration and flourishing affairs. No ball team this year after two poor seasons, suggesting a rest may help.
