Mr. C. 1. Cochran and Mr. Kearns, the American prometer, have come to an agreement and have decided that Mr. Eugene Corri will referee the world's champion- ship.contest between Mickey Walker and Tommy Milligan.

A Blow At Tradition.
The change strikes a blow at the practice existing all over the world of golf. Under the accopted allow ance in the past, a man whose handicap is 4, when playing an opponent whose handicap is 16, only allows strokes in a round instead of the full difference of 12 strukes.
It is interesting that it applies to bogey competitions. Bogey (an -imaginary opponent who plays a sound game without making any mistakes, but who never does any thing miraculous) is treated as a hann opponent by all clubs, and
year, it is not always their first few batsmen who make the runs. There is always someone who will turn in a century. This time it was Old- field, who, going in fourth wicket down, carried his bat for an ex- cellent, 101.
Oldfield was, however, missed twice at the wicket when he had made 20.
It is to be recorded also that the

More Generous Bogey. At Felixstowe bogey must now be more generous and, no doubt, willi encounter many reverses.
The general argument underlying the Felixstowe decision in the the is no rule of golf countenancing the liberal disconat taken by the better players,
is perfectly clear that a heated and nation-wide discussion between golf rabbits" and "tigers" will follow this attack on one of the priviléges of the experienced player. From the latter's point of view very many half-crowns will take the wrong turning.
Although it is the general prac tice throughout Great Britain to allow only three-quarters of the handicap difference, it may be mentioned that a good many years aga the uyal North Devon Club, Westward Ho introduced such a system as that which Felixstowe haz now adopted. The reason was that back-markers were constantly win ning the handicap tournaments, and the change net with general approval.

A New Thrill. Views expressed by gollers on the decision include: Mr. J. Wellesley Orr, the Manches- der stipendiary magistrate, for years secretary of the Middle Temple Golfing Society, handicap 11 at the Coombe Wood Golf Club. In my opinion the 16 man who plays a scratch man under the present custom never holds a ghost of a chance. I have always been in favour of the change, and consider that it is the only fair way, 1 shall be nach interested to see the result, of the lead-given by the Felix slowe club.

off Braddell. Five runs later, when Macartney had come Woodfull was out low, to Braddell, Macartney made 32, which in cluded three boundaries, and then got out to a calch which was one of the sensations of the day. Gilmour- at mid-off stopped a hard one but failed to hold it. As it was falling he managed to retrieve with his loft hand, and so "Mac" left us.
Bardsley had previously been clean bowled by Gilmour, and An- drews had taken his place. When Macartney was out four wickets were down for 83 runs. Andrews and Oldfield were together when the luncheon interval was taken, and scoring well. On play being resum- ed. Andrews was run out, and three more wickets fell in the en- suing eighteen minutes. Then came Bullivan to join Oldfield in a successful partnership. Ninety- five runs were put on in an hour, and the score went to 282. Gamble joined Oldfield and made eleven before being bowled by Retnam. Oldfield's fine 101, included ten bits to the boundary, three of them off successive balls.
It was exactly 6.30 when the Australians took the fold. Cong- don and Taylor opened the innings, and after a hard day in the field they were perhaps not at their best. Ten ruus had been scored-all by Congdon-when Taylor was bowled by Macartney for a duck.
Eleven minutes later Singapore hopes fell further when that good bat Congdon was caught and bowled by Everett after making 19. Murphy had joined him after Taylor's dismissal, and it is typical of Murphy's confident style Aus- traliaus and local opponents ap- parently look alike to bim--that the 13 he scored included four hits to

THE SECOND DAY,
Chinese Immigrants. Chinese immigration is on the in- crease and the immigrants are of a good type.

Calculations went sadly astray on the second day the Singapore bats meu found the Test Match bowlers from"down under" in great form. Everett put down read "anorters " which either sent stumpe flying or got catches put up. Macartney and Andrews did the rest of the dam age. The result was that Singa- pore were out for 101, followed on- and made 89, the Australians, thus winning by an innings and 91 runs.
Singapore supporters were natur- ally a little depressed, but they bear tribute to Macartney and his merry men for their excellent display. It formed another lesson in this educa- tional tour of Malnya by first class

MYSTERY OF MEASLES.
GREAT NEW RESEARCH LABORATORY.
With the object of intensifying the war on measles, the Metropoli tan Asylums Board-which is re- sponsible for the treatment and isolation of infectious cases in the London area has built a modern research laboratory, which was opened by Mr. Neville Chamber- lais, the Minister of Health, at Park Hospital, Hither Green, S.E., where continuous research will be carried out.
Han
Mr. Francis Morris, the chair- of the board, steted at the opening that mortality from this children's disease has more fatal results than has scarlet fever. The average deaths during the last 15 years showed that, of every mil- lion, 251 were due to measles and only 42 to scarlet fever, while last year there were 38,000 cases of meales anong school children in London alone. The actual cause of the disease, however, remained un- known.
Blood TestA,
It seemed extraordinary, Mr. Chamberlain said, in view of the large sums of money spent on isolation hospitala, that more had not been done to try to discover the cause of measles. Dr. J. E. McCartney, Director of Research and Pathological Services, who will conduct the researches, told a Daily Mail reporter that the greatest difficulty in investigating the dis ease was to obtain suitable mediums for experiment. He said:
Measles is a disease peculiar to human beings. Animals are im mune except a certain species of monkey, and as these cost about £30 apiece they are out of the question. We cannot make tests on grown men and women, as they are immune, either having had measles in childhood or being naturally immune.
The only other course open is to experiment on children under five. We should have. to test at least 200 to make quite certain that there was no room for error. I do not think it would be pos sible to get the consent of parents to make these tests, and I would not like to accept the responsi- bility if we could.
We shall therefore have to con tent ourselves with making tests of the blood of children actually suffering from the disease and so A isolate the virus. hope to philanthropist who would supply the monkeys might do
& great service in the attack on the disease.
While this research is in progream,
the laboratory will also make further researches into scarlet fever
and whooping cough and the serumn treatment of small-pox.
