POLICE BOARD NAY JGNORE OUNCIL Commissioners o Handle As- signment of New Patrolman An additional regular patrolman s expgcted to be appointed by the board of police commissioners at its monthly meeting Tuesday night In #pite of the failure of the city coun- Al to rescind its orlginal resolution providing for the appointment of a patrolman to do duty in the ffth ward only. It is understood that the members of the commission hold the opinfon that as Jong as the ordinanc rogulating the organization , of th police department has been changed | to provide for (he additional man, and the money appropriated to po him, the council's interest in the matter is ended, and it is up to the hoard to appoint him and the chief of police to assign him to duty wherk his servives are needed. The board failed to act last month on the resolution of the council au- thorizing the board to appoint a man for duty in the fifth ward, and sent a request to the council that the resolution be rescinded, the ordi- nance regulating the organization ot the department changed, and the money appropriated. The request of fhe board was granted by the eoun- ofl, but it developed that a resolu- tien cannot be vrescinded in this manner, so the original resolution stands as passed, The police com migsioners are cxpected to {gnore the reselution when the matter of an | appeintment is taken up at «the meeting. Arangements for the purchase of two small automobiles for use of the dapartment will be made at the mecting as the money was transfer- red for this purpose st the meeting of the council. The ma- chines will be used by the night ser- geants In their work and by the de- tective burean during the day. Hearing For Skierkowski Before the meefing of the full board {s called, the discipline com- mittee will hold a session at which Patrolman Peter Skierkowski will be ealled upon to rehearse evidence he gave in police court last week against two men he arrested for assaulting each other. The patrolman {s al- leged to have testified that he saw the fight when in reality he was at the police station while it was in progress. [t is understood that Ski- erkowski now claims that he saw the fight when he was on his way to the volice station, but did not make the arreste until after one of the parti- :irams made a complaint at the sta- ion. At the meeting of the ecommis- sioners, applications for appointment a8 supernumerary policemen are ex- pected to he received from James J. Butler and Cyril Curtin.

It was Jones' opportunity to ac- complish a feat credited to only one other man, Jerry Travers, the win- ning. of the national title two years in successlon. Both expressed confldence as they went to the tee. They have been in- separable since arriving here more than a week ago and the sentiment in the match has aroused an in- terest seldom seen in golf. Gunn is 19 years old. That was 1 Bobby's age when he aimed at his |frst champlonship on this same Oak- | mont Country club course in 1919, the title |when he was defeated for by Davy Herron. They halved the first hole In four. Jones' drive was a powerful shot down the middle of the fairway while Gunn was on the edge of the rough. The champion's second was 15 feet to the right of the green, but his pitch stopped five feet from the cup. He went down for a birdie four. Gunn's second was a beauti- ful pitch 15 fect from the cup and he required two putts to equal Jones' hole, Biennial Convention 1 Of Post Office Clerks | Plans are maturing for the 14th | hiennial convention of the National 'Federation of Post Office Clerks at | Kansas City, Mo., September 7-11.
