same treatment as Chevy Chase did last
week. Today was the second Of the Column

weather was almost ideal, a stiff breeze
from the south being the only defect AS a
result Of yesterdays qualifying rounds the
players have been divided into three classes:
Club cup, consolation and sweepstakes, and
In these matches play started this morning.
The contestants in the different events
were slow reporting. and the first pair did

consolation class and DR.. Sterritt in the
sweepstakes.

Rats and Epidemics.
the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
Rats have no proper place in modern
civilization, and it is a cause Of wonder
that they were not long ago exterminated
because Of their destructiveness. The BAG
teriologist has now found an additional and
more important reason for the extinction
of the vermin. When the germ origin Of
the bubonic plague. typhus and other
fevers, including yellow y fever, was dis
covered it was assumed that the rats which
infest the crowded tenemfnts Of the large
cities might easily become the means of
the distribution of the microbes. In Bonn
bay. Calcutta and other Indian communi-
ties, as well as in Japanese cities, European
experts who had beer sent out to invests
gate the conditions of Iepiaemic plague soon
found that large proportion Of the rats
carried the seeds % dtheH disease. How
easily the microscopic monsters may be dis
seminated was show3i lii {he typhoid cpl
denies at the camps qf qualification in this
country during the war with Spain. No
serious attempts hadl been made to disin-
feet or adequately cover up the regimental
sinks. and the result was that files became
agents for extending the eravages of the
malady. On the legs Ola single fly germs

Play Yesterday Afternoon.
The play yesterday afternoon in the Sec
ond round of eighteen holes to qualify
showed a decided Improvement over the
morning, principally on account Of the
strong wind mo6eratfng somewhat and the
players gaining confidence. DIR. Lee Har-
ban did not quite equal his morning score
of 81, but he was only four strokes above
i and his days work was the best of all
the entries. OF the out-of-town players E.
P. Brooke Of Sandy Spring did the best
work, and he was second to DR.. Harlan
with total Of III. Oden Horstman led the
Chevy Chase contingent, getting into third
place, and this young man will probably
have to be reckoned with in the distribution
of prizes. as he Is a splendid match player

they have only three entries contesting for
the club cup, the remainder being in the
consolation.
