TWO BIG CIPHERS
TELL THIS STORY
Springs and LenOxPOIO Teams
Meet In Pretty Contest and
Both Get Goose Eggs

One cipher for the Springs boys and
one for the Lenox These tell the story
Of struggle at polo last night at the
Eleventh Street Rink. 1t was a game
that caused everyone who witnessed
It to act on the qui vive as the French
say. To use slang parlance Il was
battle royal with all the trimmings
and requirements necessary to satiate
the demand of the most ardent follow
er of this popular game. Itching from
the defeat by the Springs and by the
Indians last week the Lenox boys had
their dander up and they promised
their supporters that the game last
night was surely TO be theirs. but as
Bobby Burns says. THE best laid plan
Of mice and men," etc, etc.
It was generally thought about the
rink last night that the game would
not be an interesting one. owing to a
mishap suffered by Beatty Of the
Springs boys in a game Saturday night
at Atlantic city, when his hand was
painfully injured in a contest with the
shore boys But contrary to eXpecta-
tions Beatty went into the game with
all the vim and vigor at his command.
Within the memory Of the closest fol-
lower OF this popular game there has
not been a prettier contest seen or
any floor in this city since the revival
of the game. The defence work of both
teams was admirable and it would be
hard for the most critical judge to say
which team had the better of the ar
lgument. as every man on each team
covered his position with glory to him

he must take no less than six scalps.

time. by a German medical man.
With the stethoscope 1t is recognized
by reduplicntion OF the first heart
sound, followed by o rough rasping
or scraping. and this appears at the
onset of many cases Of scarlet fever,
often when no other symptoms are to
be detected. In some epidemics these
sounds may be heard in the majority
OF cases, while at other times they
may be quite regularly absent. Their
presence is Of great value in diagnosis
and may be the only warning signal to
guard against the spread of infection.
A boy who was pale. languid and
anaemic had no other symptoms ex.
cept the irregular heart sounds. From
these his case was decided to be scar

the skin proved the correctness OF the
diagnosis. Certain children in the
chickenpox ward of a hospital were
restless and obviously Ill. The heart
sounds indicated scarlet fevor.. and in
