He said that the play would go on to night and the script was needed for the stage manager to prompt the players. However, Deputy Police Commissioner James Sinnott promised Conroy a policeman would be at the theater to prevent the performance unless Oshrin obtained an injunction. Oshrin then said that he would go to Brooklyn at once and seek a writ.

The play was written by John W. KlrUlrmd, former newsnaperman and husband of Nancy Carroll, film actress.

The dean said he would allow the State to grant divorces for other causes than misconduct, these In-! eluding desertion, brutal cruelty, habitual drunkenness, conviction for felony and concealment of bodl-i ly or mental defects. Mrs.

Seaton-Tiedemann's comment on this proposition was: "All of these causes may arise after the parties have been married In a church, when, according to the dean's views, their vows should be lifelong.

mmiTmu HOLE 6 4-28 YDS- PAH 4 CJMPSOM 4- LICrY, Outdriven by many yards, the slim Harold Sampson made up In shrewdness what he lacked in length to get a smartly played par on the 428-yard sfxth hole. His drive, purposely played left for fear of the pond, was drifted by the wind over into the trees. Lacey, one of the game's longest hitters, crashed out a tremendous drive that carried the farthermost tree on the right and stopped in the rough. Still yards away from the green, Sampson poked a spoon shot out from under the trees to within 15 yards of the green and after Lacey hit a mashie to the back of the green Sampson chipped up dead to the pin for a par 4. Lacey took two putts for his first par.

ARMOUR LEADS FARRELL, 2 UP IN PRO GOLF Continued from Page 1 Kirkwood in the early holes of the match. But through steady golf he became 2 up at the 16th, only to blow the 17th after he had driven a ball so far down the fairway that he had only a little pitch left to the green. Not content with beating par In his early matches, Gene Sarazen started out with a new driver this morning. He was going to do better. He finished this first round over par and 1 down to Al Espinosa.

The Chlcagoan did some smart putting. He -bowled in two important putts, a 25-footer for a btrdie at -the 430-yard sixth and a 12-footer far a deuce on the twelfth, which helped build up a two-hole lead. Gne's savage drive down the tree-lined 13th was a wild hook. But he eked out a half in 5 for Es-plnosa's second was short and his chip too He missed the putt for a par and Sarazen, who got home in 3, was down In two putts for a half. Esplnosa's tee shot on the 17th cost him that hole.

He tried to shave off too much distance, lined the ball out Into the trees and couldn't get a clear shot at the elevated green. David-Goliath Act Through the start of the first match off. It was a case of David against Goliath, with Harold Sampson in the role of David and Charles Lacey doing the Goliath act. Lacey had the power but not so much accuracy. The slender blond-headed Coast chap was woefully short but amazingly accurate, Just as he was in defeating Diegel.

Lacey bounced a tremendous tee shot far down the first fairway. But his mashie shot found a trap. Sampson, on with two woods and down in two putts, won the hole. At the third Lacey drove out of bounds which drew only a distance penalty today. Lacey'l next almost reached the green.

He got a half in 5, for Sampson's low iron overran the green, fcacey reached the third green, a 188-yard affair, in two shots, which was one too many. Sampson won that hole and also the four 580-yard fifth, for Lacey was never out of trouble until his third mashie niblick shot reached the green. Three long shots for Sampson got him home and two putts won him the hole. Lacey also dropped the seventh by playing a tacking course, but he got back the eighth through a peat wedge shot from the sand. It left him a short putt, which he holed for par.

On the ninth, the Goliath of this act hit the flag with his Iron shot, which left him a short putt for a deuce. Sampson, however, laid him a bad stymie, so the hole was halved in par. Armour Loses First Tommy Armour dropped the first hole to Johnny FarreU's well-played birdie three, but the others he lost on the outward nine were due to his own mlsplayi. He hooked out of bounds off the second tee. He lost the hole.

Farrell tried to cut off too much distance on the dog-leg third. He went out of bounds. Johnny lost the hole only to win the next three. Armour couldn't keep hit shots on line. He went ploughing along the right-hand side of the fairway.

Four up at the 7th, Farrell proceeded to hand back a hole at the 8th, another at the 11th, where Ar-mour'a Iron shot was stoney and a third at the 155 yard 12th where both were bunkered. However, Ar-1 mour came out within three feet of the hole and dropped the putt. Farrell missed one six Inches longer. Putting Is still Al Esplnosa's great. asset.

Fresh Meadow greens have become much faster, but the Chlcagoan putting beautifully. He holed two good ones on the first nine which helped him become I up on Gene Baraan. He won II' I dent of Filmland Players and treas-' urer of Bayside Amusement, also was president of the Forest HilU Construction Company, according to papers in Haskell's office. The papers indicate, according to the investigators, that the Bayside property was pledged to the extent of $50,000 while the cash was used by the Forest Hills Company. The Forest Hills Company, according to HaskelL undertook to build houses in Forest Hills Terrace, Queens.

Haskell said the $50,000 remains unpaid. Also unpaid, he said, was a $125,000 mortgage loan by the Savin to the Bayside, and another loan of $37,000.

These loans to the Bayside, Haskell said, were in addition to a first mortgage loan which was paid. Judge's Noles Reported Other'papers in Haskell's offlce, It was said, were notes indorsed by Judge Martin one for $500, one for $1,000 and two for $2,000 each. They were payable, it was reported, to the Bayside Amusement Corporation at the Manufacturers Trust Company of Brooklyn and were signed '5y Fred Leder, president, and Samuel levine, treasurer, of the Savin indorsed by Leder, Samuel Levine, Buckley and Martin. Haskell said it was his recollection that the Savin paid a certain amount of their loan to the Bayside cash and a certain amount in Ends His Life in Auto With Exhaust Fumes The body of a man tentatively Identified as Edward G.
