BY
CLEVELAND, O., Aug;. 25. An ama
teur from the south, with the re
markable score of 69-70 139, led In
the contest for the open golf cham
pionship of the Western Golf associa
tion at the end -of today's play at
Oakwood club, Bobby Jones of At
lanta, with machinelike golf, topping
the scores of the best professional
golfers in the world.
A repetition of his score for the
second half of the contest to be
played! by 67 survivors tomorrow,
would give a total of 278 for 72
holes, five strokes 'better than the
event's record of 283, made twice by
Barnes, and eight strokes better than
the record set in the national open by
Chick Evans, national amateur cham
pion. Scoring Not So Spectacular.
Scoring was not no spectacular to
day as on Wednesday, when three
players scored under 70. Only two
J, layers equaled par, 71, today Jock
Hutchison, defending his title., and
Robert Simpson, the only California
contender.
Out of the nearly 200 starters only
the 67 who made 158 or better for the
first two rounds will continue in the
play and, while nearly all the well
known professionals were in the con
test, none of the stars failed to re
main in the struggle.
The perfect .weather and excellent
turf made low scoring possible and
today 24 players shot 74 or better.
Emmet French of Youngstown, who
set the golfing world agog yesterday
with a record of 65, fell off ten
strokes, bub still was in second place
with 140, while Bob Peebles, Peoria,
111., failing by four strokes of dupli
cating his 69, was third with 142.
Walter Uagen Fourth.
Walter Hagen, twice national and
western open champion, playing with
Jones, was tied for fourth place with
Hutchison at 143.
Mike Brady of Detroit was next with
145, while P. O. Hart of Marietta, O.,
was seventh with 146.
Bob McDonald of Chicago, metropol
itan open champion, slumping to 76
today, was tied at 147 with Willie Ogg
of Worcester, Mass., and Dave Ogilvie
of the Home club.
Joe Klrkwood, the Australian cham
pion, was off on ordinary putting and
took 75 for a total of 148, tying with
William Mehlhorn of Shreveport and
Frank Adajns and Tom Kennett of
Chicago.
Two freak shots were made, Jock
Hutchison holing a mashie shot on
the 438-yard second for a five, after
he had g.ot enmeshed In tne rough
and Gunner Nelson of Lafayette, Ind.
sinking a 150-yard approach shot for
a two on the 410-yard 18th.

VANCOUVER, B. C. Aug. 25. (Spe
cial.) Since it was women's day a
the horse races today, the paddock
was the rendezvous of all members o
the feminine pony followeracrowd.
The continued fine weather, with
a drying wind, had improved the track
materially, much . better, time . being
made and the goings proving fast.
Favorites scored in the first three
j aces, thus putting the fans in good
humor with themselves to start off.
The sequence of victories of the
public's choice, however, was broken
in the fourth race, when Choirmaster,
who disappointed the other day, won
from Ermitaqa and paid $24.90 for the
victory.
Favoritism was equally divided be
tween Charioteer and Vodka, when
the numbers went up for the first
event, but before the race started the
former was established a firm fa
vorite, with Vodka next in demand,
and so- they ran in the race, but, it
might be said, that the victory of
Charioteer was chiefly due to the
riding of Williams, though this did
not detract from the performance of
the horse itself. Vodka assumed the
lead in the home stretch and appeared
to have the race well in hand. 'The
favorite, however, challenged, came
with a rush, and passed Vodka at
the post, to win by half a length.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) With $30,000,000 in
stocks, bonds, notes and other securi
ties some good and some bad in
their possession, federal agents today
renewed their search for the end of
the golden rainbow which John W.
Worthington, Charles W. French and
their associates spread across the
country in what the agents believe to
be one of the greatest "swindle
trusts" on record.
Colonel John V. Clinnin, assistant
United States district attorney, in
charge of the investigation, today
fixed $50,000,000 as a conservative
minimum for the "pot of gold" aought
In the "trust's" operations.
' Twenty companies "said to have been
organized "by French with capital
stock aggregating $21,000,000 and in
which he was selling stock are un
der investigation.
Purchase of Banks Planned.
A scheme for buying a chain oi
banks through the country without
the " investment of any money to
handle the alleged spurious notes and
securities is said to have been un
covered. With the voluntary appearance at
the federal building today of H. L.
Thornburg. whom Cllnnln character
izes as the "dummy" president of a
small Wisconsin bank purchased by
French and his . friends early this
year, the assistant district attorney
revealed the trail yhich led from
Jolin W. Worthington, under indict
ment as the master mind of mall rob
beries totaling $6,000,000, to French
and his associates.
When Worthington's office was
raided several weeks ago his books
revealed numerous deals with French.
The latter was Indicted, questioned
and then released, practically on his
$vwn recognizance.
Agents Sonnd Warnings,
He returned "to a loop .hotel, where
he maintained a palatial suite. Mean
time dictographs had been placed
throughout the suite, telephone wires
tapped, arrangements made to scan
the contents of French's waste paper
basket and two department of justice
agents installed in an adjoining room.
From the information gained, de
partment of Justice agents were on
hand each time a deal was attempted
and the persons intvolved warned in
advance.
While tht end of the investigation
proceeded, the examination of Worth
ington's books disclosed the purchase
of the Wisconsin bank. On its face
the deal apparently was legitimate
Alva Harshman of Milwaukee,
Worthington's- secretary, also under
Indictment, turned state's evidence.
Sixty-one shares of the bank stock
a controlling interest had been
purchased with certificates of deposit
obtained from an Ohio man. The
home of the bank cashier was also
purchased, $2000, one-third of the
price being down and a one-year note
due next January, given for the re
mainder. Thornburg was installed by
French as president under Harsh
man's direction. The bank stock then
was hypothecated with a Madison.
Wis., bank. As a result the $2000 paid
the cashier on his home was the only
money actually involved in the deal.
"Tin Box", Company Formed.
"It was a plain case of "kiting. "
Colonel Clinnlng explained today.
Harshman tells me that French then
sent a bundle of the bank's notes to
him with instructions to put them In
the vaults and draw out the .batik's
reserves and undivided profits.
Harshman says he refused.,, I rather
believe that he did prevent the loot
ing of the bank.-
"Harshman's vague references to
the Ohio man whose certified checks
were used, eventually led us to Z. W.
Davis of Cleveland and Canton, a di
rector of the Winton Motor company.
Harshman said some of Davis' notes
given to French and totaling $500,000
were hidden In Harshman's- home at
Milwaukee. I sent him there yester
day in custody of a secret service, man
to get the papers They are due 'here
today with it."
Morris Wolfe, the agent, arrived
this morning with notes aggregating
nearly $3,000,000 and other papers.
The latest development in the case
today was the revelation of the op
erations of a "tin box" trust company,
formed bv Worthington, French,
Harshman and four others, one of
whom is now dead, in Missouri.
Note Replaces Caeeku
A certified check for $50,000. pur
porting to have been signed by Davis';
was offered to the Missouri secretary
of state as the assets of the company
and on the strength of It a charter
obtained. The check, according to
Colonel Clinnin, was then replaced by
one of Davis" $500,1)00 notes.
"With a tin box, this charter, the
$50,000 note and a paper signed by
R,vpn men. one of them now dead
the trust company proceeoea to qo
business." Clinnin said. "It's business
we have found was to market the
stocks, bonds and notes obtained by
Worthington and French in other
deals."
The investigation of French's ac
tivities is being carried on today in
several widely separated cities. Some
of French's companies, with their
names and capitalization, follow
