Captain Archibald I. Butt. the presi-
dents military aid. We're also in the
party. The president has missed the
game greatly since he became presi-
dent Today was ideal for golf.
Sherman has admitted that he is not
the best golf player In Utica and has
even gone so far as to declare himself
dub" Taft. although quite an ex-
pert, is equally modest and declared
himself a humble puppy Sherman's 3
son Tom is one of the best amateurs
in the country and has won number
of tournaments against crack players.
TAFT AND SHERMAN BEATEN
At the end of two hours of play the
scores revealed that Taft and Sher-
man, who were matched against Ed
wards and Butt, had been beaten by
four points at the sixteenth hole. The
game was filled with spectacular plays,
the president displaying excellent form
despite his several weeks absence from
the links.
The match was hotly contested and
during the first half Il seemed prob
able that Taft and sherman would de-

taurant.
Brown remained In the restaurant all

and Hidner came downtown to make
they went to the Seal Rock hotel,
where Brown telephoned to some one
and a young man called to see him and
remained for about two hours. About
5 o'clock that afternoon Brown paid
5idner. who saw him last in a barber
shop at the beach.
Captain Anderson was notified by
the Los Angeles police and he de-
tailed Detective Frank McGrayan on
the case. The Los Angeles police said
that they had several felony warrants
for Browns arrest for passing checks
to the amount of 100000 on banks In
Los Angeles in which he hand no
funds. McGrayan learned that Brown
borrowed money here from stock
brokers and others. saying that he was
temporarily out of funds.
