the harangue of Militant Suffra-

attending a matinee at His Majesty s

and began to address the King.
You Russian Car" she shrieked,
and then the attendant rushed In and
tried to get her out. but found that
she was chained to the seat, and
they had to cut through a link before
she could be removed
While this was in progress, half a
dozen women in different parts of the
theatre started shouting at His Maj
esty. One of them jumped on the
stage and began to speak and when
she had been thrown out others took
her place.
Eventually all the disturbers were
elected and the police on duty out
side had a hard struggle to rescue
them from the hostile crowd.

Well Balanced Field
In metropolitan Golf

Englewood, n. j., May 22-Although
w. c. Travis and Oswald Kirkby were
favorites over the other six golfers who
survived the first two rounds of match
play for the Metropolitan golf champion
ship, the field was so well balanced to-
day that each of the competitors seemed
to have a chance to reach the final
stage.
The gallery was pretty fairly divided
in following the Kirkby Marston and
Travis Plat matches which were in the
uppeR and lower brackets of the draw,
respectively. The other two matches
brought together Finidley S. Douglas, a
former national champion. and Gilman P
Tiffany, and Roy d. Webb, who met
Geo. V. Brokaw, one of the leading Gar
den City players.
In his match with Marston. Kirkby
made the round in 20, the best score of
the week. Marstons score was 49, Kirk
by winning by four up and three to go.
Douglas and Tiffany played a close
match, but Douglas won by three up
and two to go.
At no time during the Travis-Platt
match was the veteran forced to over
exert himself and he beat the young
player easily six up and four to go.
There was a sensational finish to the
webb-Brokaw contest. after both had
been close together up to the 18th green
where Webb ran down 30-foot putt. On
the home green Brokaw laid Webb's
stymie and squared the match. which
went two extra holes, Webb winning on
the Goth by one up.
In the semi-final round Kirkby met
Douglas and Travis played Webb.
