be together. AS matter of fact,

her a fan letter from Susie, the

100 more cabs than usual to pick
up passengers there. Diamond has
exclusive rights at the station.

Policemen assisted motorists in
parking on streetcar tracks where
such parking was permitted, and
said they would be "as reasonable
as possible" with those who parked
in still-restricted zones.
Those parking on Streefcar
tracks were urged to keep in close

hook off the first tee. The only
time he has not been in trouble
on his drive off No. was in the
extra hole of his third-round
match with George Bolesta, which
he won with a birdie.
Charley was trapped of the tee
but played a fine second on the
easy par 5, chipped close and
dropped a 6-footer for a birdie.
Snead. wearing a Panama hat
for a change. was straight and
far down the middle. He played
a long iron to the green and two
putted for a birdie and a halve.
Snead was in the rough off the
second tee and Bassler split the
middle. but both played excellent
approach shots on the 343-yard
par 4. Bassler's 8-foot bid for a
birdie slipped 18 inches past the
cup. and when Snead missed he
laid Charley the first of those
stymies. Bassler went to his
wedge but it failed to work.
Sam went two up on the 544-
yard fourth with a birdie 4.
Bassler was so yards short in two
and approached too far past the
