For the second time, the Belgian Chess Federation organised a team competition. There were only three competing clubs this time. CÉ Philidor from Brussels won with just half a point to spare. The title holder, Maccabi, ended last. [1] has full results. The few games I have come from [2], with the exception of one I found in [3]. Note the presence of Bernard Freedman, who would later become an important figure in Canadian chess. Thanks to a reader for pointing that out to me!
