The police said they believed that Diamond and Factor once friends, had been playing deadly game of hide and seek for months because Factor refused to divide with Dia- mond the millions he made in Eng land after fleeing to that country with forged passport furnished him by the New York gangster.
 The officers pointed out that shortly after Diamond went to Eu- rope last year, presumably in search of Factor. he was shot five times.
 Police said they knew that after Factor was indicted in Florida on charges of selling approximately $1. 900, 000'worth of "Ocean land" he secured the aid of Diamond in flee ing to Europe. officers understood

HOPES YOUNG PROS
MAY CHECK YANKS
Worth Is Seen in Padgham,
Seymour, but U. S. Reign
Appears Safe.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

- REAT BRITAIN has come
I - to think of golf In terms
~ of competition with the
United States. Still groggy
from the humiliation Of their
team in the Ryder Cup matches
last Summer, the British are find
ing some consolation in the re-
cent performance Of two young
professionals in the 1,000-guinea
tournament at the Royal Mid
Surrey Club.
All Of Britain's leading professionals
were entered in the Mid-Surrey heid,
for the 1,0O0-guinea tournament u the
richest event In British golf. Eight OF
the players who represented Britain
against the United States at Scioto
qualified for the championship, with
George Duncan and Bert Hodson fall
ing by the wayside. But OF the eight
who qualified not one was able TO reach
the semi-finals.
Abe Mitchell and Sid Easterbrook Of
the internationalists made the pest
showing, but were beaten in the quar-
terminals. Henry Cotton, the young
man who refused a place on the Ryder
Cup team, qualified. but was beaten IN
the last 16, which occasioned little sur
prise. since the British are coming to
the opinion that Cotton's game has
been overrated.
Two Youngsters Score.
- Which brought A. H. Padgham OF
Forest Row and Mark Seymour. the
Schottish professional champion, into
the finals. Padgham Is not exactly o
new discovery, but this time he played
his best game and conquered Seymour
in a hard-fought battle. The play OF
Padgham and Seymour has encouraged
other season or two they will have
enough young professionals playing
championship golf to break down the
prestige American players have estab-
| lished during the past ~ years.
One Of the astounding features OF tht
play at Mid-Surrey was the performance
Of j. H. Taylor and Sandy Herd. Those
| two were winning championships lone
before Padgham and Seymour were
born and still have enough shots tc
beat their juniors for few rounds
| that Is quite an achievement for q mar
who won his first national open in 1902
Taylor, still deadly with his approaches
was eliminated before Herd, but ther
j. H. was a champion 81 years age
and has long since reached the carpet
slipper and fireplace stage.
AIliss In Line Again.
Percy Alliss, who was barred from
the 1881 Ryder cup matches becausl
of his residence in Berlin, has moved
back to England and will be available
for the next international competition
OF all the British professionals to pla.
in the States, this year, Alliss was tn
most impressive. His game reached 1t
peak when he tied with Walter Hagel
in the Canadian open. AlliSS was OF
fered numerous chances to locate II
the United States, but refused TO mi
CRATE from his homeland.

nostications based upon the best in

Army-Yale.-This is going to be

writer believes that, while both teams
will score, the Army backs and line Will
cooperate more efficiently than the ELS
and so will have a winning margin.

particularly strong. With Fuqus, a

lineup and Chicago players still bit
sore after the Yale defeat, there would
be some reason for picking the HOLSTERS.
But there seems better reason for the
selection of the-Maroons as the winners
Columbia -Wllliams.-The Morningside
eleven will win the usual victory over
! the Berkshire outfit.
Auburn FlOrida.-ThiS should be q

have rough going against the Quakers,

Hagen and the veterans may pass from
international competition. but the
United States Is holding its own in the
production of new stars. Tom Creavy,
the 1881 P. G. A. champion, is one
who will hold an important place for
some years to come, and there are fell
lows like Guy Paulson Of Fort Wayne,
Clarence Gambler Of Detroit and
number Of others who are on their way
to the top.
The best the British can hope for
70 to make the international matches
more interesting and score an occa-
sional win. The United States will be
dominant in golf for many years to
come.

~ UDY DUSEK. Nebraska's wild

N added another win to his record
here-which, but for three de-
feats by Jimmy Londos, would be spot

night which kept q crowd Of almost
5000 In q continual uproar.
Until q minute before the end it ap-
peared as though Dusek would meet
his first local defeat by another than
Londos when Gardini, employing
headlocks, had Dusek
progRy. When he attempted to rush
in for the killing, however, Rudy made
a flying tackle, which, as Gardini said
afterward in his speech, was below the
belt. The tackle, however, served to
separate Gardini and his winning arnbi-
tions, for he was an easy victim Of
Gardini Complains.
Following his defeat, Gardini made
his usual speech in which he explained
to the throng that he was the victim of

for naught as far as q change in the
decision was concerned.

TO SHARE COURT COSTS

The Bel Air Aegis states that
at a conference between the
Commissioners and Treasurer
OF Cecil county, and the Com
missioners of Hartford county.
at Bel Air last week, the Wis
itors from across the Susque-
hanna agreed that their county
had benefited greatly by Har-
ford's prolonged fight to pro-
cure a proper assessment on
the Conowingo dam, and vol
unteered they would pay a just
proportion of the expense. This
means that Cecil county will
pay perhaps 35 per cent of the
engineers fees, court costs and
lawyers fees already advanc-
ed by Hartford county.

feet from the bridge over the
Pennsylvania railroad near
Bacon Hill, on the Elkton-

Commission for approval of its
incorporation for the purpose
of transmitting electric power
from the new Safe Harbor
plant in Lancaster county to
the Maryland State line.
The company plans, to erect
two single steel tower trans
mission lines at a cost of APP
proximately $1,10O,000 to con-
meet the new Safe Harbor
power plant with two big cleo
trio companies lines. Its cap

Each transmission line will
carry 100000 volts. The first
line is expected to be complet-
ed by the time the first unit of
the Safe Harbor Water Power

the other by Dec. 1, 1888. The
two lines will transmit power
