Alcohol Is a Preservative.

Alcohol is recognized the world over
as the proper. most efficient and
wholesome preserver of medicinal
compounds, and while some journal
lists try to alarm the world by the
cry that patent medicines contain
more alcohol than beer they neg
lect to state that proprietary medi
cines are taken in doses from a tea,
spoonful to tablespoonful, while beer
is beverage that is consumed in
quantities from glass to several
quarts day.

local option shall be called whenever
IS per cent of the voters of any ward

about the enactment of the ward and

Illustrated A bag of clubs is quite
easy TO carry, considering its weight,
but any device which would make it
even less burdensome would be well
coined both by the palyers and the
caddies. The sling is often made so
long that il can scarcely be shortened
sufficiently to suit the very small boy
who aften has to shoulder the bag.
Some Of the boys overcome this diff
ficulty by the Objectionable habit Of
tying knots i'm the band, and this, es-
pecially if they become wet, are very
tiresome to undo.
Even when a bag is slung on the
shoulder an additional support is re-
quired. and many golfers hold it low
down in order to steady it. The ordn-
airy handle is placed too high for this
purpose but It seems that another small
handle situated at the bottom of the
strap in such a manner that it could
easily be grasped would be a great con-
venience. II a bag is inclined to tip
up with the weight of the clubheads.
it is a good plan to reverse one or
two of the clubs which are least often
in use. Some players carry the niblick

USED FISTS IN
THIS POLO GAME
Baltimore Defeats Wilmington
Who Will Now Have TO
Play Atlantic City

There was polo and scrap last night
at Eleventh Street Rink, and more
real scrapping than polo, and 1t was
not war Of words. but war Of fists.
Ever since the Tri-State series of polo
began there has been bad blood exist
ing between the Baltimore boys and
the local boys, the chief belligerents
for the locals being Charles Weldin
and Logan and Naylor for the Balti-
more team. Last nights game was
to decide Wilmingtons standing In tine
league. The game started off we'll
enough with the visitors showing the
local team clean pair of heels and it
looked TO the critical ones that VIII
mington was not playing in its usual
form; In other words. as If they didn't
care whether they won or not. White
hurst got the first for his side IN
thirty-fve seconds. But the scrap is
the thing. II appears that when the
last game was played between the two
teams in Baltimore, Weldin was made
the butt" of the Baltimore player s,
they tripping him whenever the op
portunity occurred. Weldin is a
splendid player. but he can rough it
with any Of them, and he can stand a
greath deal in this line.
Last night the opportunity to retail
ate presented itself and he grasped the
opportunity. Logan of the visitors be-
ing his chief target. II seemed that
Logan had the bali with Weldin chas-
ing him closely. but just what he did
to arouse the ire of Weldin could not
be seen, but without any preliminarles,
Weldin swung an upper cut at Logan
and grabbed him by the throat. Both
men clinched and fell to the floor with
Logan on top. Weldin turned him
over and was pummcling him, when
Whitehurst slxated over and struck
Weldin twice In the face. The game
stopped and the male members swarm
ed down to the scene of the fray. II
took some time to right matters as the
Baltimore boys despite the fact of
their being on a strange floor. did not
show the white feather. Manager
Cloward and Referee Taylor ordered
Weldin from the floor and the crowd
yelled for Logan to be put out Of the
game. but the Baltimore boys were
deaf TO these appeals.
The fracas dismayed the local team
and they played listlessly, but young
Chandler. who took Wedin's place,
succeeded in saving his team from q
shut-out During the second half Of
the game Naylor. second rush for the
visitors suffered loosened skate and
he left the floor in order to have it re-
paired. whltehurst followed him to the
skate room. No sooner had White
hurst come Off the floor when he was
met by weldin, who appeared to lay
i'm wait for him. He struck Whitehurst,
knocking him down, and for a time
being il looked as il big scrap would
be pulled off. but Wcldin was hustled
out Of the rink. Thus endeth the last
chapter i'm the last of the series of
games between the two teams The
score was four 10 one in favor of the

Atlantic Leaguers Given
Glad Hand in Big Game
That Goes Against Them
9 TO 2

Almost perfect weather. big crowd,
much enthusiasm and defeat for the
home team marked the opening OF the
Atlantic League season here yesterday.
A big brass band and a small army OF
leather-iunged rooters were out TO help
Wilmington win. but combination OF
miserabye umpiring. and weak stick
work by the home team prevented. How
ever. it was a day long to be remem-
bcred and in many ways a great OPEN
ing.
AS has been told, a trolley parade pre-
ceedcd the game. The route was over
the principal streets of the city and every
where the team was cheered by ardent
fans. Arriving at South Side Park
shortly before o'clock, the teams were
greeted with more applause that brought
q feeling Of pride TO Manager stirlith.
Thanks 10 his efforts the local baseball
business that had failed so miserable last
year was again on the fair road TO sue

Then the First Regiment Band started
things by striking up a favorite march.
Again tho rdoters that filed the bleach

before the echo had lost itself both the
Wilmington and the Elizabeth players

concluded. the Wilmington men took
their positions. The Elizabeth batter
stood up to the plate and spit on his
