- Pencils: Witmer Williams (uncertain)
- Pencils: John Celardo

Story Notes
Although by-lined 'By John Celardo & Herm Bolstein' this is only faintly similar to previous strips and the presence of Celardo has to be taken on faith - if he's here at all.

We have no reason NOT to believe that 'Jim Topps' is a real person. Keith Chandler : The Who's Who gives Jim Topps as a byline, with Fiction House sports fillers as the only credit.
