Golfer Can Win From
Archer, Good as
Latter May Be

/. In the opinion Of Seymour
Dunn, the well-known profess
sional, it Is difficult for an
archer, or for that matter, .
devotee Of any other sport, TO
down the golfer at the latter's
own speciality. In his match
with Doctor P. w. Crouch at
Lake Placid some time ago
Dunn defeated the archer, % to
81. The golfer had an adj
vantage of the tee, some Of his
drives being close to 800 yards.
whereas the flight Of the arrow
rarely got more than 200. In
stead Of q hole to putt in, Doc
tor Crouch had q target four
and one-quarter inches in diane
ter on the green. Hazards
meant nothing to him, as shown
on one occasion, when his Sec
ond shot landed in 3 bunker
back Of the green. The archer
simply stood up in the trap and
hit the target as easily as if
he had been standing on the
fairway.
