LoAFERs ON BROAD STREET

To the Editor Of EUenirD ledger
Sir-Of all parts of this city, 1 think
Broad street, between Bainbridge and Fltz-
water, is policed the worst, Hardly day
passes but some fight or disturbance occurs.
White and colored loafers are always on
hand in the evenings in punches and the
way they carry on with passersby and in
places of business is something quite
strange to see on Broad street a few blocks
from the City Hall. You can watch the
loafers run amuck and not see one police
man pass. Has it really come to this that
the management of the city streets is left
entirely to disorderly loafers?

Lee L. Harlan of the Columbia Coun-
try Club defeated Norbert Dempsey OF
Bannockburn yesterday afternoon in
the finals match of the Washington
Golf and Country Club tournament,
featured by the fine play of the Column
bia man, 5 up and 4.
The spring tournament ended in a
blaze of glory, presenting to the golf
ers of Washington a new player who
must be conceded place in the niche
of golfing honor, in the person OF Nor
bert Dempsey Although he was de-
feated in the finals by Lee Harlan he

that the PLAYERS who saw him perform
universally concede him place in the
first sixteen anywhere.
The morning round saw the best
match of the event in the contest be
tween Dempsey and Samuel Dalzell or
Chevy Chase. AS Dempsey had been
getting around in rs all week in prac-
tice and in his matches, he was con-
coded a good chance against the more
exnerienced Dalzell, but the majority
of the experts gave the older man the
preference, as he had broken the course
record the day before, recording Drill

and dry and this it was thought would

Permanent Win of Cups.

Pell and Bull had two legs on the
beautiful cups and by winning yester-
day afternoon gained permanent pos
session of the trophies.
The match was interesting only
through the brilliant spots that devel-
oped during the three sets when each
member of the quartet would Guido
himself in making gets" and putting
through unlooked-for or very difficult
shots. Pell. who has the reputation
of being one of the best on service in
the country. was evidently not up to
his game, or there would have been
nothing to the match but runaway
affair. Bull played his usual steady,
point-gaining game. and on many oc-
casions gave his companion valuable
assistance. The greatest strength of
the pair was forthcoming through the
teamwork displayed, and in this team
ing" they made their opponents look

Davis. who is at present the cham
pion of the Pacific coast. put up a
splendid battle against great odds, as
Kennedy was of little assistance either
on the offensive or defensive. In the
first two sets. Kennedy appeared ner-
vous. especially in his service and his
faults were enough to discourage the
strongest hearted. Then in the third
set. when Kennedy found himself,
Davis went to pieces under the strain,
SO that the New Workers had every
thing their own way.
The most notable feature in the way
of individual play was displayed by
Davis in his backhand strokes. his ac-
curacy being wonderful and as one of
the local experts remarked, would
have won him the match with little
stronger assistance. Time after time.
with the ball going into apparent
safety. Davis would dash over, get the
ball and send it back in such a manner
as TO make either Pell or Bull do a
diving act to get under the white pei
let. 1t is to be regretted that Kennedy
was not up to his best form, as in that
condition he would have helped out

BRITISH SUFFER LOSSES FROM
 TURKS

LONDON, April IS. - The war of flee announced officially today that the British had suffered a reverse in the fighting to reach Kut-el-Mara in Mesopotamia. The Turks attacked in large numbers yesterday, storming the British trenches and forcing the relief expedition under General Aylmer to retire on the south bank of the Tigris, various distances running from five tO eight hundred yards. The fighting was severe, and the Turks were sub jected to a vicious fire from the Eng fish, which cut their ranks severely, but nevertheless their superior mum bers and their determination won the first line British trenches.
