This unhealthy matter is left to sour and ferment and be absorbed into the blood, and soon the circulation becomes filled with an acrid, irritating humor. The blood then, instead of performing its. natural. duty, of nourishing the skin, regulating its temperature and preserving its uniform softness. pliability and healthfulness, : irritates and diseases the delicate tissues and fibers around the pores and glands and . produces some of the various ' forms of skin eruption or disease.

IIAXCES IN SKAT LAWS Americana Are Eapidly Improring- the German Game. ' DEFECTS IN METHODS OF SCORETQ ajastle la tbe Rales Corrected Penalty' foe Revokes 4)SMtlesi (or Ike Cenleg Skat Cob Trees la Rw York. NDW YORK, May 23. The last few months have seen some remarkable changes In the rules regulating the game of skat, most of which have been brought about by American players, and especially by teachers of skat. The moment you begin to teach any one a new game you Invite comparisons with some other game, with the merits of which the pupil Is already familiar. Skat teachers have not been ow to avail themselves of the suggestions made by the quick wltted women who have been their pupils, and whose natural card sense, sharpened by long practice at bHdgel has detected the defects' In the old rules of the German game. The Americans have .taken hold of skat with an energy which shows that It hss come to stay, -At first they turned up their noses at It They1 thought It was too com plicated, but the simplicity wUh which they found the subject oould be presented has overcome that objection. Then they said It was hardly worth while learning It until more people played It, but the steady Increase In the number of skat players has now deprived them of that ex cuse, "The leading clubs are alt pnsslng resolutions recognising skat as eie of the games to be permitted In the card room. Now the only objection that one hears Is the supposed necessity of lesrnlng the Qer man teins and expressions, but as most ef thess have been Angellelsed and many of them never were German, but Italian) peo ple are getting shy of that plea. The gen eral tendency seems to be not to find fault with the gams but to take hold of It and make It what it should be, the king of all games of cards. Only tke Plus icerea, The first thine American nlavera ah. Jected to was ths soaring. "If yod beat the player that makes the declaration," they said, "we want ths credit for It. We want to see It put down on our side of the score sheet. Just as we see It in bridge when the dealer loses the odd trlok." Ths old way was to put down nothing but the score of ths Individual player Who smed ths trump, If he won he wag plusl If he lost he was minus so hiuoh. If he was already plus, a minus score was fle-. ducted from his previous total. The American method la to put down nothing but the plus scores, just as they do at bridge. If the declaring hand wins It is set down to his oredlt. If he loses. each of his adversaries scores It. Although It may be Urged that It is all the same in ths and, because the relative scores must be the same at the end. It Is more In harmony with the American idea to get what you make when you succeed in beating a man at his own game. It does not seem natural for a player to defeat the declaration time, after time and still be without a scratch of the pencil to show for It on the score card. Human nature craves the cardinal numbers on the credit side of the bank book as the only true and substantial Indication of prosperity. - Rale far the Revoke. One absurdity In the German laws the Americans were quick to discover, and that was the penalty Tor, the revoke. The league rules says that if an adversary ef the single player revokes the single plsyer may lmmedletely claim his game as won and score It, but at the aame time the re voking player shall be charged with the ors of that game. , The idea of this rule was that the third player, who wss not in fault, should not lose anything, because While ho had to pay the single player for the game won he got it back from the revoking player in the ahape of the game lout It did not take those who were familiar with the theory of scoring other games long to see that this rule gave a single player double value for his rame, whether the revoke affected the result or not, and that It put upon th-? revoking player three times the penalty that the rule Intended. Suppose that there are four plovers at a table and that A declares a club aolo, holding three matadores, and wins It, but ratchea one of his adversaries In a re voke. H gets fortj-elght points plus for himself and forty-eight more through the mlnua score, which Is charged' against the player who revokes. The Idea of the jrule is that the revoking plsyer shall make good the forty-eight that he has possibly caused the player A to win: but Instead of that It will be found that he is charged 192 points because he revoked, whereas he would have lost only forty-eight If he had not revoked. When he Is charged with a minus, he has to pay It to all three of the other players and has to pay A Ms score of forty-eight plus be sides. ' The Amerthan players quickly settled this injustice byTulIng that the players opposed to the declaration, being partners, and sharing In the result Of their good plays must also shsre In the result of their bad plays; and that if one of those bad playa wss a revoke they would have tos share the consequences, just as much as they would have to share the consequences of a shocking bad lead, or a failure to fatten at the right time. Lead Oat at Tars. Another of the German rules which the American players did not take long to change was that relating to a lesd out of the wrong hand, commonly called leading out of turn. The league rules are that the moment "any" player leads out of turn his game is lost, and the hsnds are aban doned. Then comes the same unjust charge of the game to the player In error, as well as Its credit to the plsyer who wins it. While ths first part of this rule may ap pear to be simple. It Is unjust to the single plsyer In one case and overgenerous to him in the other. In any game In which there' la a partnership a lead out of turn by one of the partners not only shows a card and probably gives valuable lnforma tlon, but it also Indicates a suit which the nartner would like to have led. For such an Irregularity there -must be a penalty, and In skat thta penalty Is the immediate loss of the game If It occurs during the play of the hand. To this there la no ob jection, i But If the single player leads out of turn he gives no information to hie part' ner, because he has none. On the con trary, he does himself an Injury by ex posing a card to ths adversaries. To Insist that because a player lnjurea himself and gives his adversaries an advantage hp should be punished by the immediate loss of his game aa well is not only unjust It !s absurd. This urtnclpls Is recognised In all gamea of cards and there la not a single game In which a player can be made to surfer a penalty for gntng bis adversary an ad vantage, except the loss of the advantage Itself. In the general laws for all card games, "Bloke's Hoyle," page 611, we find this ruling: "There should be n pen alty for a players having exposed a card unless ha can derive soma benefit from the exposure, such as his partner having seen it. If be baa no psrtner there should be ti I no pene:iy. as am uijurva iiimaeir oniy. a i ins Aiucrv-as piayers nave, wareiors, changed this law so thst only thv adver saries of the declaring hand can be pen alised for a lead out of turn. If the slnale player leads out of turn there is no pen- Ity, but If the lead Is covered it cannot be taken back. ' ' The same question sometimes ' com up In another form. It has been the estab lished rule In skat that If the first fcnrd led comes from the wrong hand the game la at once abandoned aa lost by that player If there four at the table. But If there are only three at the table and the lead Is made by an adversary of the single player the card may be taken back and the single player may prevent the partner who ahould have led, or who may obtain the lead from leading the suit of the exposed Card. If the single player himself leads out of turn for the first trick there Is no penalty When only three play, but the card cannot be .taken back If It hss been cov ered. The Americana make the same rule apply to three or four-hand, because fhe circum stances are' practically identical. After the first trick, however, a lead out of turd by an adversary of the single player loses ths ame. f . Point Not Yet settled. Another point upon which the German lawa are very vague Is the adjustment of conflicting penalties. For example, accord ing to league rules, if the adversary of the single player revokes the player can aban don his hand and claim his game' as won or he can let the play proceed with a view of making Schneider or schwarts. This sounds simple, but it does not pro vide for contingencies. Take the following case, which was submitted to the news papers not long ago by the president of one of the largest skat cluba In the coun try: A bids twenty-three and gets the play. On looking at his hand more closely ho finds that he has not the nullo that he thought he had, so he decides to turn, being without four. He turns a dlamohd, shows It for the trump and finds the second card ia the jack of cluba. During the play of the hand one adver aary revokes. Acordlng to the German rules the player scores his game as won. But what game has ha wonT ' He has overbid his hand, because he could not make twenty-three, which is what he bid, even If he made achwarx. All hla gams la worth is ten, or with Schneider, fifteen, or, with achwarx, twenty. Who la to be punished? The player who has overbid or the one that has revoked? Or both or either? This point brings up what Americans all Insist la the one vice of the game, the single blot, on what is, otherwise a more perfect scheme of play than any other game In the world, the counting of the matador's found In the skat after a player has bid on what he had fn his hand. It has been repeatedly suggested that in solos and grands, In which the skat cards are not touched until the play Is all over, the contenta of those skat cards should not be reckoned. Some suggest that the single player should have the benefit 'of the points In them, not by taking them into hla hand, but by compelling the adversaries to show sixty or more if they claim to defeat the declaration. Othera, more radical. Insist that the aolo player should get his Sixty- one points without the aid of the skat, and should count his game without the assist ance of any matadorea that may He In the skat. League Most Settle Points. These points and several others of minor Importance, are to be submitted to the executive meeting of the North American Skat league at tho eleventh congress. which will be held at the Grand . Central Palace la New. York City on June 21, Si, and 43, ana u is coniiaenuy nopea tnat . tho members of the league,'' about 6,000 . . of whom are expected to be on hand from all parts of the country, will realize the neces sity for changing many of the present rules, so aa to bring them Into closer agree ment with the principles that govern legls tlon In all other gamea of cards. It Is also to be hoped that the east and the west will aettle their difference with regard to the game values; a difference which threatened not long ago to disrupt the whole organization. The western players have alwaya adhered to the league rules for the 'Unit value, probably because all the akat congresses have heretofore been held In the west, none coming further east than Buffalo. Ths eastern players have unit values of their own, especially for the grands. The league rule Is 12 for the turned or the guckl grand, 16 for the solo grand and 24 for the open, The eastern values are 12 for the turn, 18 for ths guckl and 24 for the aolo, with no rating for the open grand. The weatern players insist that these valuea are too high and that the tendency of such enhanced values is to make the game too much of a gamble to be sound. Byery time a player geta a good trump aolo he tries to . stretch it into a grand, and every time he has jacks enough for a fair tournee he ia tempted to try a guckl. The eastern players think a grand should be worth a good deal more than a solo be cause It is not so pommon, and alio be cause the number of matadores Is limited to four. The western reply to this Is that the grand. If played at Its proper value, is almost, always a aafe game, much more to be trusted than a solo, and that there fore the player Is not risking so much The enhanced values of the east, they in sist, are not applied to true grands, but to hands that should not have been grands at all.v In this discussion, which has already led to the formation of a separate league for some of the eastern states, bridge players will probably recognize a repetition of the tendency towsrd declaring no trumps on an ace and two hopes, just because It counts more If you can pull It off. The eastern players have given In to the west In the matter of the nullo, which used to be worth 23 in New York, but IS now 20 all over the country. The objection to 23 was that the moment such a bid was made the player's game was exposed. While in some cases this might make no difference, there were many situations in which It might bs greatly to the advantage of another player, who could outbid the nullo, to know that one hand was very weak, just as It Is an advantsge to a poker plsyer to know that one or two players op posed to him has nothing but a bobtail. NsJIoa at Twenty, At the coming congress In New York nullos will be played at twenty, but no provision has been made for the guckl nullo, which Is one of the most fascinating of all games; consequently It will not be played In the tournament for the championship unless there is some special legislation for It. The American players put a guckl nullo at fifteen, or Umty if loat, on th pilu;li,ic of advancing all nullo declarations by some multiple ot five. To be consistent and to carry out th general scheme of skat values, the grands should advance by, four points at a time, Neither the eastern nor the western rules do this. The highest frege is 4. the best tournee Is 8, the top solo Is 12, and the natural sequence would be to go on by fours to the grands, making the guck It, the solo 30 and the open grand 24. the turned grand staying; at 11 Unfortunately the discussion of this mat ter had not advanced far enough to de velop ths hostility of the western players when ths rules for the coming congress were put In print or the executive would have undoubtedly fixed the values of ths grands at an advancing scale of four points liwi itl , T WSsmmml. r 1 1 Delivered Promptly to the Home It you prize a pure malt and hop beer, and won't have any other kind in your home, you can't do better than to telephone us today and order a case of m f77 4 Tf d7h js-wittvui. i sn,m iim,ijf ,iiM.jw.... ii Li, Liiiwi-y This superb beer comes to you direct from the heart of the choicest barley lands in the world, and con tains nothing but the juices of the best barley grown and the finest imported Bohemian hops.

It is more than probable that these compromise values will be adopted after the congress, but it is-too lte now to change the valuea fixed for the tourna ment itself. It has been suggested that many of the players from the west, who are coming on in large numbers to compete for the big prizes at the Jure tournament, will be placed at a disadvantage In having to read just their estimate of the possibilities of their hands to a scale ot grand values which la out of all proportion to that to which they have been accustomed, but It is probable that they have been practicing these enhanced values with a view to their use at the congress. It would certainly be very sad If a player hould loso his chance for the S1.000 which g0ea with the championship through his ffort to win a grand with cards which were perfectly safe for a aolo. It s the number of games won that counta for the first prize, without any regard .is to whether these games are tournees, solos, grands or nullos, so that no matter what the values may be the best man should win. ' Program for the Congress. NEW YORK, May 23.-Herman Bidder and Justice Lorenx Zeller, assisted by. a large number of committees, have at last completed the final arrangements for hand ling the army of skat 'players who will as semble In this city on June 21,. 22 and 23, the date ot 'the eleventh annual congress ot the North American Skat league. It was first intended that the contest for tho hamplonshlp ahould bo played at the Arlon and Ltederkranz clubs, but as the entries kept pouring In It soon became evident that no two club houses In the city could hold, the players, so the clubs were given up,, and the Grand Central palace was secured for the occasion, a contract being made for 4,000 tables, with seating capacity to match. The program Is for the first round of the tournament at 7 p. m. on June 21, and the second round at 7 p. m. on June 22. The morning of June 22 and the two fol lowing daya will be devoted to sightseeing. breakfasts at the big breweries, excursions to Coney Island 'and Luna park, etc., and the evening of June 23 will b given up to the grand entertainment or "commers." The entrance fee for the tournament, In cluding all the excursiona and . entertain ments, will be 15.60. Tickets will be on sale at Terace Garden every evening from 4 to 6 o'clock during the week beginning June 15 and at the Grand Central Palace all day on June 21. Contestanta will be al lotted their placea at the card tables for the tournament at the same time they get their tickets. The first prize wlll bs $1,000 in gold, pre sented by the . New York Stoaats-Zeitung. There will be a second orixe of J500, one of 1300, several of $60 each, and so on down to 110. Matters have been so arranged that every eighth player .taking part will get prize. Ine principal prize ia lur uie player who wins the greatest number of points made on the player s own 'declara tions. The third Is for the solo won against the greatest numberof matadores. These represent the true test ox aaai piay. span from luck. ' DEMAEEST STANDS OUT ALONE Amateur Billiard Champion the Only One la Ills Class. NEW YORK, May 23. Calvin Demarest, the young billiard prodigy from Chicago, has no more fields to conquer ana stands out today as the best and strongest player in the amateur billiard world, lliiucli-an- cut and decisive victory over nuuiun Rerolle, the --French expert. In the final game of the International championship billiard tournament was convincing and left no QUistlon about his right to the title. Rerolle has won the amateur championship of France five times and was beaten this year only after the play-off of a tie. aa U is reasonable to rank him as 'one of the strongest exponents of the game abroad. Further, he had the advantage of playing with a slightly larger ball than has ben used in this country and at 18.2 balkline, which was new to the amateurs here so far aa tournament play la concerned. Dem arest has an easy, graceful style and needs only a little more experience snd practice to meke him the equal of Willie IIoi,i, or any other prnfeMlonal player. He has mastered the game In all Its Intri cacies and seems to have fallen heir to the name of the Napoleon of the Cue.
