A large gallery trailed after Purcell and

former player. There was no doubt about
his victory being popular. for when tho

tho shoulders OF the crowd.
Early In the match Loving took the
lead, and by the time the eighth hole was
reached he was up. Purcell. however,
reduced the margin Mt the ninth. II was
then a seesaw affair for a few holes, and
when the sixteenth was reached they
wero on an even footing. A fine recovery
from a pull into The rough and the subse-
quont hoihs OF 1s-foot put made Pur-
cell 4 winner, and a great drive from the
eighteenth tee. which landed on the green.
gave the left-harded golfer such an adj
vantage that ne easily won the hole and
settled tho match by up.

Thieves and Burglars Galore

The residence section on either side of the valley in this city are afflicted at present with burglars and second story thieves who go about searching for clothing, jewelry and money al most without regard to police pro- lection, for four scouts on wheels is no protection worthy of consideration The householders in both the North and the South Highland sections of the city, who pay assessed taxes regular ly, feel misused. They do not see where they are getting the worth of their money. They feel that while the city attracts thieves and burglars it offers no immunity from their deprc- dations.
 The city commissioners should at any rate give the residence sections a week of relief now and then. The strain is too great to be withstood con- tinuously. A dozen patrolmen spread over the two great residence sections of the city would give the thieves and
