ARCHER WILL
PLAY GOLFER

GRAND FORKS, N. D., May 25.-C;
u. Curtis of Pembina, N. D.. national
archer flight champion, who will meet
a local golfer in an archergolfer match
early in June. has shot $50 yards,
which is go yards better than the known
worlds mark.
Curtis has increased his distance
steadily at prictce since he won the
long distance championship at Chicago
last summer.
The champion is now using new
how fashioned by himself. The bow
is so powerful that it is impossible to
get the greatest distance with the usual
style of shooting but as several styles
are permitted in flight events at the
national tournament he uses what is
known as the Fox Indian method He
sits on the ground and places both
feet at the center of the bow and
then with both hands on the thong,
bends backward until the proper angle
and pull is obtained,
Mrs. Wightman and Mrs. Jessup will
sail for England on the day after the
exhibition.

Italians Win From Spain When Spaniard Scores
Goal On His Own Team

PARIS, May 25.-(By the Associat-
ed Press. The American soccer foot
ball team today defeated the Esthonian,
1 to 0, in the Olympic contest.
Italy defeated Spain, to o.; Swift
erland won from Lithunia, 9 to 0, and
Czechoslovakia was victorious over
Turkey, 8 to 2.
The only score in the Italy-Spain
match came just before half time when
the Spanish right back. in trying to
clear the goal. put the ball into his own
net. giving Italy the game. The re-
suit of this match proved a great up
set.
Americans In Difficulties
The American team had great diff.
Guilty in defeating the Esthonians and
were considered by the spectators as
lucky to win, as the Esthonians out
played them during the greater part
of the time.
The only score came after penalty
kick, Stradan, the American center for
ward, beating Lass, the Esthonian goal
keeper, with a shot which could not be
stopped, after play had proceeded only
10 minutes in the first half.
The Esthonians dominated the play
throughout the second period, threaten
ing the American goal time and again
only to shoot badly or to be called back
after off-side play at the mouth of the
goal.
From the viewpoint of football the
calibre shown in the Italy-Spain match
was the better.
Italians Speedy
The Italian forwards were very fast
and the Spanish backs played a fine
game on the defensive. Rain fell dur.
ing the afternoon at both the Pershing
and Colonies stadiums where the
matches were played.
Thirty thousand spectators viewed the
Spain-Italy match but not more than
10000 were present to see the Ameri'
can team defeat the Esthonians.
The brand of soccer between Switz'
erland and Lithuania and Czechoslo-
vakia and Turkey was considered by
the experts as of quality which would

THE one-half game lead in the Amer
lean league, held by the New York
- Yankees diminished to naught Sun
day when they lost for the second time
in two days to Ty Cobb's Tigers at the
Yankee stadium, by score of 6 to 5.
New York's defeat elevated the Boston
Red Sox into a tie for first place, al
though the latter remained idle for
the day.
DetrOit's victory was achieved
after a strenuous struggle which
was contested bitterly to the last
inning when the CObbmen scored
the winning run. Manager Cobb,
himself, aided materially in the
battle. knocking a home run in
the sixth inning with a runner on
base.
There was only one other game in
the American league. The Chicago
White Sox won it from the Senators
in Washington, 10 to 8. and assembled
from sixth place to fifth, overriding
the Sox.

RAIN and COLD
STOPS PRACTICE
Western Golfers Forced
To Remain IDLE Over
Sunday

CHICAGO, May 25.-Rain and cold
today. again greeted golfers practicing
for the national open championship
elimination rounds of the west at Oak
Park Country club Tuesday and We'd
nesday and scores either were in
complete or inconsequential for the most
part. Though the sun came out in
the late afternoon a raw wind discour-
aged those who tried to play.
With fair weather tomorrow, the last
day before the event starts, the course
still will be heavy from recent rains
and opinion tonight was general among
the contestants that few if any would
equal par II for the 6,439-yard links
This score is a record for the course,
held jointly by Chick Evans and George
Duncan of England
1853 Enter
Nearly all the 1853 western entrants
are on the ground, and most of them
have played from few holes to several
rounds on the course. The western as
pirants include three former open title
holders, Chick Evans, winner in 1915 :;
George Sargent, victor in 1909, and
Alex Ross, champion in 1906. A for
mer national amateur champion, S.
Dawson Heron also is entered, max
ing two former amateur titlists in the
western contingent as against Jesse
Guilford, the only former amateur win
ner in the eastern tryout at Worces-
ter, Mass, where 1855 are entered.
1t was the consensus of players that
the 40 western golfers who are to quail
ify for the final - holes at Oakland
Hills club, Detroit, June 40, will not
have to score better than 15S for the
two elimination rounds at Oak Park.
Though long drivers are presumed to
have the advantage on heavy courses,
Evans showed he could do fairly well
in the mud by scoring 37-38-75 at
Midlothian Saturday in local meet,
Captain f. F. Carter of Chicago, for
merly Irish champion, in the same COM
petition, scored 5S-41-79. These two
amateurs with Heron are the leading
favorites for amateur qualifiers at Oak
Park.
Professionals Present
Among the professionals, MacDon-
aid Smith of San Francisco, Cal, open
titlist, and third in the British open
last year, is a strong favorite, with
Jock Hutchinson of Chicago, formerly
British open champion.
William Mehlhorn of st. Louis, John
Black of Wichita, runner-up to Gene
Sarazen in 1922, and Emmett French
of Youngstown, also are favored as pro-
spective champions by many. Bob Mac
Donald of Chicago is recovering from
a serious operation and may not be able
to deliver his usual scores around par.
There has been considerable adverse
criticism of the early date for the con
test and some of the players are opposed
to the dual elimination rounds with
playoff by the so qualifiers at Detroit
later. This arrangement is new this
year.

Ash And Dundee Meets
Louis 'Vincintini

NEW YORK, May 25.-World's
flyweight title tilt and the selection by
the elimination method of a candidate
to meet Benny Leonard for the light
weight crown will occupy the atten-
ton of Metropolitan ring goers this
week. are
When Pancho Villa, the punching
Filipino, meets frankie Ash, flyweight
champion of England, Tuesday night,
it will be his first engagement in de-
tense of the worlds flyweight title in
q local ring. The bout is scheduled
to 20 Is rounds at the Nostrand Athle-
tic club, Brooklyn.
On Wednesday night, Johnny Dun
dee, worlds featherweight champ, and
Luis Vicentini, the Chilean who jumped
into the select class by virtue of a
12-round decision over Pal Moran, will
clash at the opening of the New York
Veledrome. They are routed for II
rounds at 1876 pounds. Much will depend
the outcome of this skirmish, as the
winner will be given crack at the
lightweight crown which has rested
SO long on Benny Leonard's brow.
Fighters Underweight
Both Dundee and Vicentini are well
underweight. The featherweight cham
pion, who has fought his best battles at
i30 pounds expects to scale that mark
when they weigh in Wednesday, while
the Chilean will go after the match
with Leonard at 1873.
The Villa-Ash match is at 1872
pounds. 1t will be Villas second ap-
pearance in a Metropolitan ring since
the first of the year. Three months ago
he was to have fought George Marks,
one of his loudest and most persistent
challengers, under championship reg
ulations at Madison Square Garden.
Marks failed to make the required
weight so the title was not at stake.

not pass muster in the third division of
the British league.
The crowd in Pershing stadium where
the Americans played again was hos
tile to the Americans. It gave con-
siderable encouragement to the Estho-
mans, but on the whole was much fair
er than the crowd at the Colombes sta
dunn last Sunday when the Americans
defeated France in the rugby final.
Match Slow
The United States Ethonian match
was slow AMI uninteresting. 1t was
marked by the superiority of the de-
tense over the forwards. Hudd and
Davis, the American backs, saved their
team from defeat at least a half dozen
times during the last 20 minutes of
play when the Esthonian forward
was peppering away at Douglas, who
played a superb game.
Although not as openly hostile as
during last Sundays rugby match, the
spectators today made no secret of their
sympathies for the Esthonians. The ex-
perts thought there was some reason
for this, especially during the last few
minutes of play when the Americans,
with time against them, used what the
experts thought were rather doubtful
methods in holding, pushing and trip
ping. During this play there was some
booing and kissing on the part of the
spectators On the showing made to-
day by the Americans, there would be
much surprise among the experts if
they reached the semi-finals. The
American team lined up as follows:

Manager G. NJ. Collins of the Amer
lean team said after the game:

ming match is always a well played
match. 1 am not quite satisfied with
the showing of our boys but we will
put in some hard ticks between now
and the second round"

jim BARNES is
NOT ELIGIBLE

NEW YORK, May 25.-Jim Barnes
is ineligible to compete in the qualify
ing rounds of the United States Open
Golf championship, the eastern divi-
sion of which opens in Worcester,
Mass, on Tuesday. This was decided
by the Professional Golfers associa-
ton to which Barnes has appealed his
case after the rejection of his entry
by the United State Golf association,
due to it's late arrival.
Barnes contended that thu notice of
the tournament which was sent to him
by the United States Golf association
failed to arrive due to a change of
address and that he did not know the
date of the closing of entries until he
had read that the entries had been
closed in a newspaper.
