BURN BALRS.
- Not Anxious to Try Conclusions
With ShOwaIter

LONDON, Jan. 17.-Amos Burn, the
Liverpool chess player, who, according
to information received at the British
Chess club, has refused to play In the
proposed cable match between Great
Britain and America on Feb. II or Is.
has been very severely criticized in
London and provincial chess circles. In
asmuch as Burn has always posed as
an amateur, it is all the more incom-
prehensible why he would not support
the BrftiSherS in the coming match He
played on the second BOARD last year
when he was beaten by Showalter
and as Blackburn has already prom
iSed to play on board No. 1 against
Pillsbury this year, it was thought that
Burn would consider it his duty to try
to regain his lost laurels against Sho-
walter this year. Anybody versed in
matters pertaining to chess knows
what difference it makes to a whole
team when a stray player like Burn re-
fuses to play, and it is, therefore, gen
orally expected that the Liverpool man
will be morally compelled to take his
place on the team beaten partly
through the defeat administered to him
last year by Showalter. AS things
stand for the present the Britshers
have only one player Of really first
class international standing, namely
Blackburn. Sir George Newnes, the
president of the British Chess club, IS
said to be very much interested in the
match and in the getting up of the
team he will use all efforts towards Sc
curing Burn.

President NOfthrOp Speaks.

President Northrop, of the University Of
Minnesota, states that at their recent meet
ing IN Madison the Western college decided
not to prohibit the game nor to let 1t alone.
but to regulate the sport. At the earliest
opportunity the committee which was ap-
pointed. will submit rules to the faculties of
the different universities. The different presi-
dents were all Of the opinion that there were
dangers connected with football that should
be done away with, and effort will be made
to eliminate this feature Of the game. 1t
was the opinion of the conference that the
game was concentrated too much at the differ
ent universities, and should be spread over
the student body to greater extent.
There was q liberal sentiment present in
regard to the extent to which intercolIep,ate
games should be allowed, but it was recon-
mended that the college teams should not be
allowed to play with high school eIevens.
1nasmuch as the majority of accidents in the
sport were due to these games It was
recommended that teams should be examined
by medical men before a game, because seri-
Gus accidents are directly the result of men
gong INTO games who are physically unfit.

Cigarettes In England.

Cigarette smoking in England dates back to
1874. The great impetus to the increased use
of cigarettes was caused by the Crimean

and naval officers adopted this method OF
smoking from the inhabitants of Russia
