Meanwhile Detectives Whalen and Flaherty took Mr. Smith down to tho Rogues' Gallery to look ovur the pictures thero'in on attempt to pick out his assailants. Just how a man unlawfully pos sessing a $10,000 bill whoso number Is toeing advertised broadcast could dispose of it is a problem for largo npenders.

Of course, prices wero lower in thoso days, and possibly a man with u bill of any slzo could spend It now, but If It was a stolen $10,000 bill It probably would attract passing atten tion. Suggestions as to how the crook with tho stolen ten thousand dollar note can pasu It arc' 1. lie might buy a caso of con traband hootch. 2. Ho might tnko a few friends to dine at a first class Broadway restaurant, order all they really could eat and hand tho big bill to the waltor, telling him to keep tho change. 3. Ho might start a movlo producing concern and pay a star ono week's salary with it. In Mr. Smith's missing roll wore ono $10,000 bill, seven $1,000 bills, twclvo $100 bills and $300 In bllls'of smaller denomination.

Tommy Armour, the 9cotch holder of tho French title, met a tartar in Phil Carter. For the most part this was a see saw battle, but Carter finally took tho link when Armour developed a spell of wildnoss. Tho blggreat upset was the way Fred Wright, afassnchusotts cham pion, tumbled Joss Swectsor of Yale.

Evans early ran up a comfortable lead but Lewis started nibbling at this and reduced It to a slnglo hole at the end of tho round. Evans was both brilliant and uncertain.
