ALL $10,000 BILLS
YOU GET IN CHANGE
Bf One Is B-232, Call a Cop,
for It Was Stolen From
Automobile Man.
A white elephant on one's hands Is
about the only thing comparable to
tho plight of the criminal who to-day
Is wondering what ho is going to do
with a $10,000 Mil. It was part of the
18,500 In big bills two thugs stole
- .
from P S Smith, proprietor of the
United Auto Rim Company, No. 221 ,
West 63d Street, after beating him
cru Saturd
Mr- Smith had kept a record of
this super-bill which he carried
around as other men carry a one-1
spot, and to-day all banks have been i
notlflcd to bo on the lookout for $10,-
310,000 class for change. 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. Mark Twain onoo offered
a delightfully fanciful treat In his
story of "Tho Million round Note,"
Nobody could chango it and Its pos
sessor was able to llvo high without
spending a cent one look at it was
enough to establish unlimited credit.
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.
Mr. Smith's habit of carrying roll
containing such mastodons of Jlie
legal tender world attracted to him
a taunting letter which he received
to-day with the cancelling mark of
Indianapolis, Sept. 6, on the envelope.
It addressed him as "Dear Old Clown'
and derided htm for displaying bo
mum poi'Kui money In mlxi'd com
pany. The letter was unsigned and
the detectives tin the cuho believe it
may huvo hi en written by one of tho
men who rnuuea me nuto rim man.

ROSLYN, Sept. 8. Surprises be
gan , popping early In the second
round of the National amateur golf
championship to-day at the Engl
necro Club. Robert Gardner of Chi
cago who lost out on the thirty
seventh green for the British title,
finished tho first round to-day two
down to W. C. Pownes, veteran
former National tWle holder from
Pittsburgh. Trailing with Gardner
wore a'so Tom Armour, the only
foreigner remaining In tho tourna-
SweoUer, Zntercol-

lCKlate Champion,
The meeting of Gardner and
Fownoa, both former holders of tho
premier title, was the feature match
of tho second round. Fownes who Is
novr ovcr "" ycar mark "was to
steady for his younger opponent. Tho
veteran Pittsburg star putted well
and it was on tho rreen that Gard
ner tossed away several fine chances.
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.
Swcotser trailed most of the way 'be
cause his high masslo pitch had trou
ble sticking on tho' tricky green,
which was inclined to bo fiist. Wright
camo in three holes to tho good.
Chick Evans, one of tho four
prlmo favorites, baroly slipped In
nhoad of Reggie Lewis of Greenwich.
Tho open amateur and open cham
pion developed some of his old put
ting weakness and this came near be
ing fatal against Lewis, who ran
down his putts with exceptional ac
curacy. 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. Ho
simply tossed away tho 18th where
a short approach was fozzled giving
Lewis tho hole.
The best golf of tho entlro round
was played by Bobby Jones, tho
eighteen year old Atlanta star, who
led Frank Dyer of iMontclalr by 8
holes.
Jones wont out In 30 strokes, par
figures for tho distance. On the 556-
yard dog-leg ninth Jones hooked Ills
drive deop in tho rough. Barely re
covering to the fair way Jones put a
monster ibrosslo close to the green
and holed out for a par five,
