There can DO little doubt that tho grip" which
has played such sad havoc for years. has not
only left Its effects upon q great many, but
seems TO DO returning in various localities. All
physicians report that there lie an alarming
prevalence OF heavy colds, accompanied by all
grip symptoms. Many people take colds easier
than before; others nro troubled with weak
eyes. headaches. etc. These things not only
come to those who were laid low by the grip
last fear, but arc also visiting many who o-
capped. Pains, neuralgia, lassitudo, all the
symptoms are present.
Every leading physician who treated tho grin
last season prescribed stimulants. The weak,
ened, depressed state OF the body demanded
this, and there. nre numerous cases on record
where pure whiskoy saved tho lives of men and
women who wero fast drifting toward the grave.
As In nll other things. however. the purity of an
article determines It's value. and to say that
only. pure whiskey. OF n medical quality, which
can be made available, and IL Is In this respect
that Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has shown
itself to be immeasurably superior to any other
known stimulant. The attention OF the best
physicians has been drawn to this truth, and
tho fact that they ore prescribing this whiskoy
constantly 10 tho highest praise they could be-
stow. Prof. Joseph Parrish says: I'VE know
that whiskoy win steady tho heart. slow the

tho genuine. and such as has, by years OF popu.
larity. been proven purcst and best. In other
words, use only Duffy's.-Adr.

BALTIMORE, Feb. manager Hanlon Is wait
ing for tho new rules draw up by James Hart
OF Chicago. who. with Hanlon, and Reach of
Philadelphia. compose the Rules Committee of
the National League. The impression has got
abroad that Hart has drafted several new rules
and Manager Hanlon wants to see what they
are. They have been forwarded to Reach for
sanction, and will probably reach Hanlon this
week.
''Therc is only ono rule that 1 want to see
changed, " said Hanlon yesterday, and that 10
the earned-run rule. ! want this fixed 80 that
the pitcher will bo entirely, responsible for
earned runs. Provision should DO made that
runs scored off hits, wild pitches. bases on balls.
and hit by pitched ball should be scored as earned.
Stolen bases. errors. and passed balls, of course,
should not figure. Earned runs under this new
scheme will give q true limo on the pitchers
ability.
"Idon't think any other changes are advlsa.
BILE. l am especially opposed to this movement
against, bunting and sacrifice hitting. Tho
former 10 one OF the most scientific features OF
the game, and IL It is done away with there will
be a howl from all over the League circuit: The
same is true OF the sacrifice. The opposition TO
these two plays comes from men who arc incap-
able Of bunting and sacrificing, and their OBJ
~jections should carry but little weight"

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Five hundred sports
travelled to Athens tonight as much TO see the
set-to between Sheriff J. II. Marshall Of Della
ware county and Promoter Robert Deadly of the
Olympic Club as to See the advertised twenty
round bout between Steve Flanagan of Phila-
delphia and George Ross of New York.
The Sheriff and Deadly had a conference of an
hour. The Sheriff examined the contracts and
said he saw no evidence that there WAS to be a
number OF rounds, he refused to interfere. Then
Referee Delaney introduced kid" Howard Of
Cincinnati and Eugene Rowan of Philadelphia
for a ten-round go. but the former refused to
fight for some sudden and unaccountable reason.
The Flanagan:R Ross bout was due. but the ref
cree announced that the Sheriff had found evil
dence of q side bet and forbade the fight. A
couple of minor affairs were allowed.

tho thirteenth round, when Whistler cut loose.
The latter carried off the honors from that time
until the finish. Whistler used rough methods
frequently. and was warned by the referee.
Whites clever left.hand jabbing was the
feature.
In the preliminaries Kid Henry was stopped
in four rounds by Patsy Corrigan. Both boys

Golf.

I. ". Stiles OF the Ardsley Club Greens Com
mittee said yesterday that although two dele
gates had been appointed ut Harvard, Yale,
Columbia, and the University of Pennsylvania,
to attend tho Intercollegiate golf meeting, no
had not heard when it would be held. At the
Ardsley Club it was understood that the inter-
collegiate championship would take place in
May. Last spring tho contest was held during
the open tournament at Meadowbrook. but this
time the Ardsley Club hopes to have the college
dates kept open by the M. G. A. Another plan
suggested is for the college boys to play on the
first three days of the week selected. which will
avoid conflict with, any Of the open tourna-
ments.
The Highland Park Hotel. which was de-
stroyed by fire at Aiken on Sunday morning,
was the stopping place of nearly all the golfers
who have been participating in the matches on
the links Of the Palmetto Golf Club. While a few
of the players may remain at Aiken as the guests
of the Northerners who have country houses,
the greater number will likely go to Asheville,
Augusta. Summerville, or to points still further
South. In the opinion of local golfers there Is
little chance that tho open tournament In March
of tho Palmetto Golf Club will be played. at
lonst on the scale of the past two years, which
attracted many visitors from the North.

Al English Critics Opinion on New Sscssure-
ment Rules.

Tho London Field Of Jan. 30 comments on tho
new measurement formulas rs submitted by
John Hyslop, measurer Of tho New York Yacht
Club, and Nat Herreshoff. the naval architect,
as follows:
The American Yacht Racing Union has two
formula to consider. one by Mr.. Hyslop and
another by Mr.. Herreshoff. The former sug-
gests: Length plus the square root of the
sail aroa added to tho total Of breadth. and
depth, minus 6.68 Of the square root or the
two to DO the sailing length" Mr.. Herreshof's
proposal is much moro simple. and would, be
more likely to secure. a larger under
tiplied by the square root OF tho sail
area. the product divided by 7.5. multiplied by
the square root of the midship section" Either
rule would be calculated to produce a boat Of
large midshiR area, and probably Of poor speed:
tho square root of the sail area were divided by
the two-third power Of the displacement a bet
ter shaped vessel would result. But In other
length and sale area rule for racing purposes.
