PRETTY GIRL of ENGLAND
LEADS feminine GOLFERS

Golfing England was all het lzp
over the battle of the sexes which
eliminated in a golf match between
H. H. Hilton and Miss Cecile Leitch
at 72 holes, and when the rivals
met for the first half on Walton
Heath and for the last half at Sub
ningdale, they were followed by an
immense gallery.
Hilton, an ex-open champion, Is
one of the finest golfers in England,
and Miss Leitch Is considered the
best of her sex; hence the match
was generally admitted fine test
of the respective merits of the
sexes.
Hilton gallantly allowed his fair
competitor a half stroke per hale,
and although the English news
papers devote a great deal of space
to photographs Of the competitors
and a description of the various
shots, they fail to tell who won,
which, by. thel way. we consider
rather important, don't you know,
on this side.
Instead, lot of perfectly good
space was wasted with descriptions
telling how Miss Leitch drovea 476
yard hole in two strokes, using
driver and brassie and actually
passing the hole in the second shot.

COUNTY RING
INSIDE FACTS

Donovan, then deputy prosecuting
attorney, was fighting the battle Of
the people in an effort to have fair
and honest grand jury Investigation
Of county affairs. So long as Mr..
Donovan was fighting along the
right lines The Press backed him.
But there came a change in the
affairs of Mr.. Donovan. He was
thrown out of the office of deputy
prosecuting attorney by Mr. Pugh
because of his activities along the
line of turning on the searchlight at
the courthouse, at least SO Dono-
van stated at the time, and next we
find Donovan turning up as special
counsel for the state in the Stafford
case. Stafford was an uncle OF Fred
Pugh. And then came the change.
The Stafford case was rushed to an
inglorious finish, Donovan filed O
bill for $1,000 against the county
on which he collected $500-and we
next hear of him as the attorney for
John T. Sullivan, acting chief OF
police.
While Donovan was playing the
game of the people In the prosecut-
ing attorneys, office there was
strong talk OF him making the race
against Fred Pugh for prosecutor.
