city Is an outrage and an injustice to
the taxpayers of the city, is the
opinion of Edward l.. Gridley, a
director In the new Board of Trade.
He believes hat the Board of Alder
men should make an appropriation
to double the present number OF
police, IL necessary, even to the detrf-
ment of street or any other work.
Mr.. Gridley has had two experiences
from burglars, one last Labor Day
and another a year previous, and
speaks from experience. He said:
81 think 1t is high time for the city
to do something to protect the tax
payers. The Board of Aldermen
should do everything possible to pro-
tect the homes of the city from rob
berries, rel to the detriment Of
street or other work. 1t Is put
rageous that the robberies are allow
ed to continue"
Mr.. Gridley thought the perpstra-
tors of the burglaries were local
people and that they had been oper-
ating here of and on for nearly two
years. When asked II he thought
the epidemic of thefts would affect
the plans of people intending to move
and reside, he said that he
thought 1t would discourage timld
people. especially II the robberies
continued.
When asked II he thought the city

Illustrated his contention by the re-
cent attempt to rob the store of Solo

that while Patrolman Calvin was at
the Central Railroad station a burg

chants store. He thought If the city
was unable to devote any more funds
to adding permanent police that
money could be appropriated to en-

When asked II he thought the

When asked If he though an out
side detective, such as from the
Burns detective bureau should be
employed he stated that he thought
the present detectives were sufficient
and that they are better fitted for the
work than outside men, as they know
the town and the underworld of the
city, and are more familiar with the
conditions under which they have to
work.

l. C. Moore director In the new

was emphatically of the opinion that
the town has not sufficient police
protection . He thought Police Chief
Patrick Burke was doing all he
could with his limited number of
men. He thought the Board Of AL
dermen should appropriate enough
money to furnish a sufficient num-
Der of policemen to protect the city.

McGRAW GOES TO CLUBHOUSE.
Has Old-Time Mix With KLEIN and
With Same Old Result.

SAN FRANCISCO. November 1.-THE
Giants and the White Sox battled before
1900 Oakland fans yesterday afternoon
in the first Of the series of five games in
San Francisco and Oakland. The fact
that the Sox won, ) to =, was due in con-
siderable measure to a dropped fly by
Jim Thorpe in the seventh inning. There
were two on at the time, and likewise
two out Jim came running in, got the
bali in his hands and let ii drop. The.
two on bases came in. and Chase's triple
and Doolan's tumble on Schaefer made 1t
two more and clinched the game for the
Americans.
It was a game of words from start to
finish. McGraw had few things to say
to Umpire KLEIN, apparently an accumu-
lation or a hangover. The two used up
most of the ozone, but the wind-up was
the same The umpire had the last word
and John was banished to the clubhouse.
Mike Donlin butted into the argument
for some reason or other and was chased,
too while the fans howled long and loud,
the peculiar thing being that for once
they were with the umpire. although no
one knew what it was all about. 1t SIM

be likely to come to America again next
year. That l can't say replied Ray.
I'VE have had a delightful trip and have
learned a great deal about golf here. and
there is nothing in the world that would
suit me better than to come again.
I think that other famous players will
be here possibly as soon as next year. 1t
Is not through lack of opportunity that
they haven't been here before Jimmy
Braid. for instance, has q mortal dread
of crossing the Atlantic ocean. Why, he
will not even cross the English channel
to go to France
Il think that when Harry and I get
home and tell our tales OF visits to nearly
nifty American courses there will be no
holding the British professionals another
year. Taylor might just as well as not
have been here this year, but he. like
Braid. feared the trip across. It is only
prejudice before you will see more Eng
fish professionals Of renown in America
Possibly there will be q few to yield to
the temptation for American dollars and
locate here permanently.
West Is Preferred.
This is magnificent country, and if I
personally were to locate here l would
much prefer to go west Our trip took
US into the middle west down into Texas,
after our New England adventure, and
from Texas to the Pacific coast We
went north into British Columbia and
then east over the Canadian Rockies.
Roughly speaking, 1 should judge that
Harry and I averaged in the low 7Os,
and. when all is considered, I think our
record speaks for itself. don't you? We
lost only one exhibition match, that be-
ing against Alec and Macdonald Smith at
Wykagyl.''
Vardon, the perfect stylist, who has a
reputation of being discreetly silent,
smiled broadly when the interviewer APP
preached him. For once In his life the
redoubtable Harry spoke freely. He prac-
tically voiced the views of his compa-
triot with regard to bunkering of Ameri-
can courses.
I'VE met the best players America had
to produce" he said, land have had

as good a player as I have ever seen,
but, of course, Ouimet is the champion.

of which Bernard Darwin speaks so high
ly. ! understand that an attempt has
been made to copy some of the famous
holes abroad. To copy a hole is always
unsatisfactory business. yet Darwin says
it is wonderful course. I regret we
could not have seen it.
Praise for McDermott.
AS to the players. both amateur and
professional, in America, Vardon replied:
Really. you know, that's asking lot.
We have gone on record already as to
what we think of Ouimet. We have not
seen Travers play. l think ! voice the
sentiment of all Englishmen when | say
that nothing would give us greater pleas
ure than to see how these two young
men will perform over there. ! hardly
think they would win our title. Perhaps
they would in another ten years or even
less. but that, of course. remains to be
seen.
..McDermott is a grand player When
he first came to England he was not by
any means the golfer he is today. He
had the golf in him. and he had the
brains to alter his style sufficiently to
suit conditions, and l admire a man like
that They say McDermott has done
great things. but think his future is be-
fore him.
Il hardly think. though, that l will be
here again. l am getting too old. though
l must say l don't feel old. and l have
taken on weight since coming here. This
is truly wonderful country and | should
surely like to come again.
Both Vardon and Ray looked the pic
ture of health. The redoubtable Harry
had a roster complexion than when he
arrived three months ago, and Ray laugh
ingly told Of how he had guessed his
weight one day last week in Victoria,
B. c., and got his money back He set
the dial at 220ls pounds, and the nickel
came pingling back into his hand.
There were not many people to see the
famous English golfers sail for their

dozen people came to see them off. Just

ger came on board with large box con-
tanning big floral piece, wishing the pair
Bon voyage.
''Gooy-bye until next year" were the
parting words of the genial Ray.
