Kennel Clubs Still at Variance.
The matters ut issue between the Ameri
can Kennel club and the Canadian Kennel
club of Toronto are not likely TO be ad
justed, although the Canadians have re
Gently sued hard for renewal Of tho reci
procity which came to an end In 1899,
Commenting on the situation, A. p.
vredenberg, secretary OF the American
Kennel club, said recently that no agree
ment could be had as long as the condi
tions Of thetwo organizations remain a.
they are at present.
1.-THE Canadian Kennel club" said he,
"is composed of individuals, while the
American Kennel club Is q congress OF
clubs of the United States. Each member
is club In itself and not an individual
It was In 1889 that the American Kennel
club and the National Dog club were Al
odds. The latter organization was killed
finally, and then the A. X. G. recognized
the G. X. G. as an equal.
"It was all mistake" he continued
"and we saw 1t ourselves pretty soon. The
Canadians argued that their four shows In
Canada, with 5000, 900 inhabitants, were
equal to the 90 shows given under the
rules of the American Kennel club, with
60 600. 900 inhabitants, In the United
States In q word, we were registering
10000 dogs a year, while the Canadians
were registering but about 1000. 1t was
70 their interest to be recognized by US. In
1899 we rescinded the agreement. 1t was
the only, course left open to U.S."
New Englond League Players.
Manager Flynn of the Newport club has
kept q record of the destinations OF the
PLAYERS of the New England League in
1895 whorwin be found in new fields the
coming season, and has ascertained that
up to the present time 30 players have been
secured by other leagues by drafting or
otherwise, of whom IL go to the National
League, great increase over the preced-
| ing year, and afiording an indication OF
| the really superior talent there was in this
| section last season.
Coach Plaisted's Methods.
The training methods Of Fred Plaisted,
| tho professional sculler. differ materially
| from those Of other well known coaches.
For instance, he does not believe that q
coach should follow the work Of his crew
| In a she'll or boat. In his opinion the best
way to train a crew Is for the coach to take
| q position In the boat himself and row
along with the Grew, Of course never oc
| cupying the same seat twice. He also dep
recates the custom Of telling the crew theil
faults while on the water, as he consider
1t more effective to show them privately II
the boathouse afterward. q
| Gagged From the Spot.
the week past Heffernan did the best
work he has done this season in defending
his goal.
Results in Maine Saturday night
Lewiston, z; Bath, g.; Gardiner, z; Au-
| gusta, 1.
! The National League needs some of the
enthusiasm that is raging in Maine says
the Brockton Times.
II the attendance doesn't pick up pretty
soon, New Bedford will not be represent
ed next season in the polo league.
The playing developed by Cunningham
during the past two weeks has rightly
given him the title of the "wizard."
The patrons of the game, who journey
into Providence this evening will probably
be repaid for their trouble by witnessing
red hot contest.
Salem has lost two games by scores of
to 1, seven games 8 to 2, one game to g.
four games to A, two games 6 to s.
At Rockland Saturday night the home
team defeated the Salems goals to A. The
Witches were not in the race after the first
period.
j. Dwight Brady, the Ward McAllister
of Fall River, has been appointed polo
referee. Brady knows the game and should
make good man.
Rocklsnd continues to jog along in the
Maine League with a comfortable lead,
while the next three clubs are having a
warm time among themselves.
A comparison of the standpoint of the
Pawtucket team, this year and last shows
that the Tigers are ahead OF their last
years standing. At this time last year IL
was 523. This year it is 625.
The work of Referee Manning is salts
factory thus far, and he has the making OF
of very good official. AS the Providence
Journal has no fault to find we presume
he will remain through the season. >.
Wodtke is practically through for the
season. He has played only by fits and
turns. OF course had he played his old
time game this year he would have been
of the greatest value to the Fall River
| team.
The Providence Journal claims now that
Hobe Whiting is playing centre that
Everett of Fall River Is the best half back
in the business. Possibly this may be 80,
but brother Bill covers heap Of ground
and competent critics are divided In their
opinions.
