DANGEROUS COMBS.

Attention is called to the danger of
using toilet articles made of celulod.
A contributor to the Medical Press and
Circular says on this subject
1T has long been known that Dress
ing-combs and other articles of like ma
lure nave been manufactured from
modification OF guncotton From time
70 time we have pointed out the posi-
Dility OF accident from the use Of an
article containing such an ingredient,
but comparatively few cases of accident
nave hitherto been recorded Now IL APP
pears that, the original patent having
expired, vast number of imitation
processes have sprung up and the pub
nc are Hooded with combs made from
guncotton compounds by methods
WhlCn render them more dangerous
IMAM those prepared under the original
patent That some restriction should
be placed on its indiscriminate use was
proved by the recent case of a girl.
twenty-five years OF age. who was suf-
fering from cellulltis OF the scalp. ac-
companied by marked degree of ner-

the connagration. Obviously, seeing
that the mere storage OF guncotton Is
restricted by heavy penalties II ia not
falr or safe that makers should be per-
mitted to place slightly modified but
actively dangerous modification on the
market, TO be used by section of the
public who have not the slightest no.

arms like bars OF steel, with grip like the
strongest kind Of wise. Combined with
these essentials. Lewis had speed and skill.
He was not the stranger that he has
been painted, although he has been known
to use the hang lock when closely pressed
Lewis was, however. a very rough man on
the mat. He was proud fellow and would
take every advantage within the rules
rather than concede q fall.
More than half of the time when he was
accused of stranglings he was merely using
neck and jaw holds. These were rough and
severe on an opponent, but perfectly legitt-
mate.
"a great many persons who don't under
stand wrestling eonfound neck and head
holds with the strangle, and as a result one
frequently hears protests in the form OF
Kisses and cat-callS from the spectators.
''They also roast a man for slamming the
other fellow down hard and Dumping his
head on the mat. This is all nonsense.
Wrestling is no parlor sport, and when

par golf. allowing two strokes on fcach
green. Is based on perfect play from the tee
and through the green. by which the maxi
mum OF distance Is gained with each club.
A DOGGY may be anything, according to the
skill Of those who fix 1t, but par Is an arbi-
trary standard Of perfection. A hole that
can be reached in two full shots Is par
four. but 1t is often a DOGGY five.
An attempt to establish standard
scratch score" was made by the executive
committee Of the U. S. G. A. just before
the annual meeting of 1897 1t was coupled
with the suggestion that only players rated
at six or lower from this standard score
should be permitted to play in the amateur
championships. This clause. although on
H. ]. Whfgham's motion the limit was
raised to fifteen. led to the voting down OF
the entire suggestion. In the opinion OF
some of the delegates it was unfair to at
tempt to establish a standard score based
on distances. without allowing for the
nature Of the hazards. They said 1t might
do In Scotland. but would not work In the
United States, an argument possibly justi-
fled by the condition Of some Of the links
at that time. The U. s. G. A. standard was
three on holes up to 165 yards; four on
holes from 165 to $40 yards; five on holes
from $40 to $50 yards. and six on holes over
450 yards. The foundation was an average
Of $50 yards for the full shot. This average
since the coming in of the rubber-cored
balls Is no longer accepted as the unit In
such calculations. Possibly 200 yards may
be accepted as the new average.

Change in Golf Handicap.

The probabilities are that the present
season will be one of the most active In
whist that Washington has enjoyed for a
decade. Many OF the prominent lovers of
the silent game have put their heads to-
gether. and as result series of team
metches. for fours. have been arranged be-
tween the Capital Bicycle and the Co.
lumbia Athletic clubs. The matches will
be played. and 1t is the desire of the pro-
meters OF these matches that other teams
will be formed and the game given solid
boom in Washington.
The Capital Bicycle and Columbia Ath-
letic clubs embrace within their membership
the crack whist players Of the District and
the matches will be watched with interest.
The Capital team will be made up as fol-
lows: Barrick Lowe. Britton and Carr,
while the Columbia four will be Wharton
Taliafero. -Ghilds and Summers. The Capt.
tai team is one of unusual strength and
about the only whist trophy Of great pronii-
hence brought to Washington was captured
through the ability Of these gentlemen. The
Columbia team Is new one and possesses
considerable Individual strength. and If the
quartet will play together a fine record
Is possible.
The match comes off next Thursday night,
Jn4uary g. at the parlors Of the Capital
Bicych Club. General Drayten, the we'll
known WHIST authority. who Is in the city
on visit. has been prevailed upon to act
as umpire. Twenty-four boards will be
played.
Last night was a gala one at the coy
parlors of the Marlborough Whist Club. A
committee of the ladies had been appointed.
and it was resolved to play the old year
out, a round of compass whist being on the
program Ladies and their escorts occupied
fifteen tables. and thirty boards were
played. it was well after the midnight hour
when the last hand had been gone through
with The cards were distributed very er-
radically and result numerous large
swings resulted, something like fifteen
points dividing the top and bottom scores.
Miss King and Mrs. Stevens, sitting north
and south, made the top score of go, While
Mrs. King and Miss Dewey, headed the
east and west division, with a score of 191.
AT the conclusion of play dainty repast
was spread ...

Proposed Changes by Leading Assoc
Citations Meet.With Favor.
From the New York Sun.


From the New York Sun.
A movement Is under way among the
committeeman of the Metropolitan Golf AS
ISOLATION and the New Jersey State Golf
Association that is of interest to the west
ern and all associations that prepare a gen.
eral handicap list These lists are pre-
pared from data furnished by the sccreta-
ries of the clubs in each association, modi-
fled by what the handicappers know of the
different links, the value of the DOGGY
scores and the skill of the individual play
ers and the change suggested is that the
DOGGY score be done away with as factor
in club handcapping and uniform par
score be adopted instead, to be the stand
ard at all the clubs in fixing the ratings.
The idea originated with Lionel II. Graham
president of the New Jersey Golf Associa-
ton and also one of it's handicappers, and
he has submitted it to w. j. Travis, Adrian
II. Larkin. chairman of the NJ G. A. handi-
cap committee. and to many others, who
have all expressed a favorable opinion OF
the plan. The plan will be brought up at
the annual meetings of the two assOcia-
lions. for adoption or rejection by the dele
gates. * .---
Mr. Graham did not feel at liberty to give

Arthur Redfern saved the talent from
complete financial desolation at the crescent
city track, New Orleans, yesterday. He
won on Melbourne Eclipse and Potheen-
the only favorites to receive the decision.
The track, though heavy. was In better
: condition than 1t has been for several days
past. and the crack lightweight jockey, 9
father decided to allow his boy to accept
outside mounts. This decision was taken
advantage OF by several owners, and Red
fern had the leg up In four races.
He lost two with Jane Holly and Hargts.
The latter, a handsome three-year-Old colt
by Hanover. was made strong to IA
vorite for the handicap at a mile. Hargis
ran we'll for a half mile and then blew
up" Honolulu, the pace-maker winning
easily. Jane Holly was beaten out IN the
fifth race by the well-backed Bard Of Avon.
Melbourne Eclipse started the day off
well for Redfern's hackers by winning the
opening event easily at to 5. w. G. Whit
