to string them on wire held horizon

!, Golf a P,ddlIno Gamer

II 1t ever takes place. one of the
country clubs adjacent to Philadel-
phia will be the scene Of novel con-
test which has been talked about. A
man, who knows baseball, but never
played golf. was talking to a profess
sional golfer and remarked that the
latters pet game was at best only
piddling sort Of affair.
WELL" said the golfer, "Ill wager
you that can play around this 49,
hole course in fewer strokes than you
can throw the ball, and you needn't
bother to put 1t in the cups. but throw
as far as you can every time"
Instantly the bet was made, and
then the baseball enthusiast began to
figure. The golfer could do the course
in seventy-two strokes. To equal that
the other would have to make seven
ty-two throws of an average length
Of two hundred and fifty feet. the
course being six thousand yards. For
an ordinary man this would be an I'M
possible task. To throw a golf ball
two hundred and fifty feet once might
be done, but 1t would require an arm
like Chief Bender's to do 1t seventy
two times in succession.
