Mrs. Bessie Jones of Norfolk. Va.
Dillon. who had wife and four chill
dren. had lived part of the time with
Mrs. Jones in Chicago. it is said by his
brother-in-law.

Kemble Weak in Putting.

Kemble came here with quite reputa-
ton, and in his matches in the early
rounds he lived up to 1t. but in his
match with Sherman, he was lamentably
weak In his putting. which has hereto
fore been considered his strongest game.
His driving was almost perfect. He lost
the first two holes. Both men got well
away with their drives on the first one.
but Kemble pulled into the rough on his
second shot, while Sherman went just of
the green. He lost the second hole when
he oyerran the green on his approach
after having made an almost perfect
drive.
Kemble fell down badly on the third
hole. because he was not able to take
advantage OF some poor putting on the
part of Sherman. 1t took each of them
three puts the green to make this
hole, which was haived.
The fourth, fifth and sixth holes were
also halved. Kemble, after overrunning
the green on his approach. holed a beau
