BALDOCk IN POSSESSION.
The Famous Prize Ring Second Invades
Lord AbinRtOn's London House,

IBY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.J
LONDON, January 4.-The controversy aris-
ing out of the Smlth-Slavin fight is still going
on. 1t is alleged that Slayin did accept a
present of $500 from Arlington, though 1t
might not have been the actual stake money
SlaVin will not talk about this. SO the proba-
bility is that he has received 95O0 from some
body. Probably the whole story will be made
known on Wednesday next when the Pelicans
again meet The most amusing thing now in
connection with the fight is the attitude of
Baldock, one of Smiths seconds. He has in
vaded Abington's town house in Belgravia, and
declares with many oaths that he will not leave
the place until the squire has recompensed
him Tor his '1oss of character"
He asserts again with many superlative
adjectives that all the reproach which has been
cast upon him and his pal. Harper, is entirely
due to Abington'S orders that Smith must not
lose. and he intends remaining in possession
until the Squire does the square thing Bal
dock objects to the bric-a-brac in the drawing
room, preferring the more solid upholstery of
the library, where he lounges on the sofa,
smokes Abington's cigars and tells the most
atrOciOus stories to the servants, who are afraid
of their lives when the invader is near The
betting just now is even that Baldock gets
pension Tor life. Arlington is still on the con-
tinent,

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATCH.I
At the trials this year the controversy Of
setter against pointer has been more pro-
nounced than ever before; indeed, for some
time past the discussion has almost assumed
the dimensions ofa feud among the kennel
clubs Recognized authorities on field
sports like S. T. Hammond. the kennel ed
itor of Forest and Stream; Mr.. Lacy, of the
Turf, Field and Farm; Mr.. Washington A.
Costa, of the Eastern Club, and Colonel
Odell, of the Central Club, hesitate at pro-
nouncing emphatically on either side, but
it is generally admitted that the pointer has
now won its way to the front as the most avail
able dog for alI-round field sport.
The setter has held the place of honor so
long that many will regret putting him in the
second rank, for he is the handsomest dog that
ever stood in hunting field. There are three
varieties: The English, the Irish and the Cor
don OF Scotch. The English is, as a rule, white
and liver-colored. The Irish is deep red, and
the Gordon is black on the body, with tan

AN OLD CHAMPION DEAD.
Joseph H. sadIer, the Ex- Champion sculler.
Dies in England.

Joseph II. sadIer. the Exc Champion sculler.
Dies in England.
Doubtless thousands of patrons of aquatics
will regret to learn of the death Of Joseph II.
Sadler. of Teddington. London. ex-champion
sculler of the world. Sadler was born May 7,
1910. and in his day was fast and accomplished
sculler. His career was varied one, and
in some respects brilliant. He came into
prominence in the rowing days of Harry Kelly
and "Honest Bob' Chambers Hewas matched
to row Kelly, and they were in their boats to
start by mutual CONSENT but Sadler refused to
start, and Kelly rowed over the course, and was
awarded the stakes. Subsequently. the court
ordered Sadler his money back. However,
Kelly was Sadler's superior as a sculler.
Chambers beat Sadler on the Thames in 1868,
and when Renfortb died suddenly in this coun-
try Sadler claimed the championship and he
got it. In 1874 he rowed and defeated Bagnall
for the title, and also in the following year de-
feated r. w. Boyd In 1876 he was beaten by
E. Trickett, the Australian, and Sadler never
showed in the van again. He IVES in this
country in a four-oared crew consisting. of
himself, Bagnall, Winshlp and James Taylor.
He rowed IN single sculls at general regattas.
He was intelligent and gentlemanly and had
many friends

Manager HanIon, of the local club left for
New York last evening to testify in the case of
the New York club against John M. Ward. Be-
fore leaving the city Hanlon said:
81 feel certain that the League will make
nothing of their case 1 am requested to attend
the arguing of the case, because 1 was present
when the contract containing the Ward re-
serve was agreed to. The word was inserted
there at our SUGGESTION and its meaning fully
explained and concurred in by both sides.
What it was put there to mean we will explain
in court, and when we do so, the entire case
will fall to the ground. / am not prepared to
say what will testify, because it would not be
fair to our side. However, l have no fear of
the result"
Speaking Of the local club, Mr.. Hanlon said:

day, and he is all right. Work will be COM
menced on our grounds at once, and our pros
poets are certainly all right"

marks on head and feet The coat should be
stout on the back and body generally and the
tail carried on level with the back and well
feathered. Its action in the field should be
free and rangy and its limbs should show hexi-
bility of movement. For the rest, everything
depends upon the nose. For thick work, or
hunting over rocky country, setter is best,
as its heavy coat protects it from the briars and
its feet are protected by the teather1ng be-
tween the toes.
Pointers are somewhat slower than their
rivals, but are preferable in hot weather and
when hunting IN an open country where water
is scarce. The best colOrs are liver and white
and lemon and white. He should be rangy in
build, bony and muscular, but never fat, with a
deep chest, strong loins, ears set low and close
to the cheek; clean, well-arched neck and
on level with the back. The coat should be
close and middling fine, though not delicate in
texture The pointer is not delicate dog, and
the only trouble he may be expected to give is
in becoming foot-sore. This can be prevented If
a little precaution is used. Wash the dogs feet
in lukewarm water and then dress them with
neatsfoot oil and his feet will remain well in
any ordinary country.
AMERICAN DOGS THE BEST.
have letter from an authority in England
concerning some Of our American dogs in
which he says he doesn't believe that any
British kennel can show such dogs. This is
probably because we make point of bringing
out their retrieving qualities, and train them
especially with that view in advance of our
field trials.
There is no retrieving at the spring trials
abroad. as no birds fall to the guns in the close
season. American sportsmen enjoy an advant-
age over those of England in holding :he field
trials in the fall hunting season, when the dogs
can be shot over to good purpose. In Britain
the trials take place in the spring, close sea-
son. when the genuine sport is counterfeited

Novel Enforcement.

Opponents of sports and sporting people, be-
cause they are such, cannot very well contend
any longer that sport and its patrons are not
becoming moral liEhts. and generally speak
ing very important people in the business
affairs of life. Sport has undoubtedly taken a
tremendous bound-nay, flight upward. The
fact is that august body, the Trades Council,
has Endorsed the new baseball league, Endorsed
it body and soul. This may be a starter for
such great trade unionists as Howell, the
COmte de Paris and others, but it is factor. ]
won't for moment question the right of this
very extraordinary proceeding the part of
union representatives. but venture to say that
a more ineXpedient move couldn'E well have
been made. ] say this regardless of the exist
ence of either League, Brotherhood or any
other kindred organization. 1t is wonder
1ul enough for labor combinations to
take sporting pursuits under their care
feuds and conflicts which have characterized
the cOuntry's industries are repeated in the
various branches of sports. The truth is that
If the action of the Trades Council means any
thing at all il means that class line be drawn
between the people who patronize sports. If
the action in question does not mean that
every class against which trades unions are
protecting themselves will take sides opposite
to the Endorsement, it means nothing at all.
And this is a condition of things that none of
US want, and beyond all trades unions have
better work to do than make unnecessary
enemies by taking upon themselves functions
that are as foreign to their objects as ball
playing is to sailing in a balloon. Why should
the Trades Council not iudorse the Professions
Sprinters' Union? Its objects are even more
democratic than those of the new league.

PnRilistic FnHoritinm.

Recently there has been much complaining
in sporting circles about the leading athletic
clubs who give big purses for pugilistic en-
counters being actuated by favoritism rather
than by question of merit There is probably
considerable truth in the complaint, but the
friends Of these clubs may consider that the
man who pays the fiddler has right to name
the tune. This also sounds very well, and on the
face Of it wouldseem to knock all grumblings
about fayoritism on the head. However. if we
argue the case 1 think well find there is con-
SIDERABLE justice in the complaint. Take for
instance the famous California Athletic Club.
Its declared object in encouraging pugilism. or
boxing, is TO bring the very best men to the
front. The Club has declared itself distinctly
on this point and, therefore. the public
has license to ask how this declara-
tiOn has been fulfilled. OF course l
would be the last in the world to find fault
with the workings of any private club in which
was not a member if the public sympathy had
not been solicited by il by public declaration.
Well. then there is reason for asking: Has the
California Athletic Club encouraged perit
irrespective of favoritism? Is it impartially
giving all promising young pugilists q chance
10 distinguish themselves?

O,Connor,s Srnrement.

didn't intend to say anything more at pres
ent regarding the controversy about what is
and what is not the proper method of deciding
who is the champion sculler of the world Two
weeks ago 1 declared myself definitely on this
point but during the week William O'Connor,
the American champion, has stated his side of
the argument in a very clear and very forcible
way. He has in substance argued on the same
principles on which 1 did, and conclusively
shows the unfairness of deciding the title of
champion by the regatta process. He is quite
willing to take part in the proposed
regatta at Boston, but he emphati-
cally objects to allowing the title
of champion TO be at stake. In this he is per.
fecty right. He has won the American title
same way. Let it be rowed for again according
70 custom. 0Counor's challenge is plain and
honorable enough, and any of the aspirants to
the bigger title who cannot get backing enough
TO accept that challenge ought to remain in the
background a little / .rger. ReGattas have
never decided the absolute title of champion
O'COnnor very clearly proves this by citing the
instances Of Hanlan's defeats al regattas
when he was champion, but he still
retained the title. Ma1y other in
stances could ne given were it necessary
but the case is SO clear that further argument
is unnecessary. : hope that O'Connor will
stick to his declared intention. ! hope TO see
Stansbury and 0'ConnOr row for the title. II is
reported that Searle's final wish lust before
he died was to the effect that the succession to
his hOnOrs might be determined IN Australia
There is one fact which in all fairness ought
not to be overlooked, viz, that had Searle still
been alive anybody who desired to row him for
the title would have been compelled to 90 to
Australia to row.
