MANY ARCHERY CLUBS
Still Flourish in England, Despite
Other Sports.

NEW YORK, September Tt is a
far cry from the days when the Eng
lish. having defeated the French at
Crecy. Poictiers and Agincourt by the
prowess Of their archery. made the
use OF the bow obligatory upon all
male adults. compelled every mer-
chairman from Spanish and Italian
ports to import a stated number Of
yew slaves from which the incompara-
BILE long bows were made. and in other
way regulated the business by law.
Following the perfection OF firearms,
archery in England-it never at
tanned high efficiency on the continent.
where the cumbersome crossbar was
preferred-fell into disuse until re-
vived as a sport in Napoleonic days
From the middle of the last century
till the early eighties 1t was the most
popular sport OF the day in England
and the United States. Then golf al
most put 1t out of business here. but 1t
never lost its hold in England. where
are many fourishing clubs OF ancient

Tennis Team That Will Represent

the Australians disposed of the Ameri-

Play Is Attributed to the Ball.

paratively little credit is given to ones
clubs for Improvement in play. Nine
times out Of ten the ball gets all the
praise. Oddly enough, out OF the mass OF
inventions the two ideas which may be
said to have strong bearing upon the
make and shape Of present-day clubs
both emanated from players who fashion

CLEVERNESS IN GOLF
PAYS Just as Much as in Any Other
Snort.

NEW YORK, September Tt pays to
be clever in a golf match. The question
is, How smart should one be? There is a
boundary mark-not too clearly defined
between the legitimate advantage to be
gained by brain work and the unsporting
slimness of sharp practive. There are
some who would claim every penalty al
lowed by law. and others who would be
ready to risk the disqualification lately
threatened by st. Andrews to those who
waive a penalty rather than owe their
