MORE TROUBLE BREWING
 AMONG KENNEL CLUBS.

At the July convention of kennel clubs 1t was loudly asserted that the coast might just as well ask the A. K. c. to revert to the old classification as to ask for any lesser concession. "Go the whole hog" was the cry. Yet the rules commit tee has considered the minority report of that convention, and has decided to recommend to the A. K. c. the adoption of one of the propositions, and it is probable that dogs will require to score five times In the winners class be- fore gaining their championship. The majority report was refused consideration altogether. on the grounds that three of the clubs voting therefor were not mem bers of the A. K.

 matter pertaining to the A. K. c.

OLYMPICS AND COLLEGE FOOT- BALL MANAGERS.
; 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 < 4

The Olympic Club and the two colleges are now playing a game of diplomacy and 1t looks very much as If the Olympics would win. Originally the Olympic Club asked the colleges for the entire receipts of the athletic club-univerSity football games and they asseverated that they could not play unless this concession was made by the college team managers. The reason for this demand on the part of the Olympic Club Is on account of the vast ex- penses of running a team throughout the season and the comparative smallness of the revenue. The colleges draw their greatest revenue from the big game on Thanksgiving day, and thus their ex- penses are more than counterbalanced by the income of the season.
 The Olympic Club officials have tried to persuade the managers of the, college teams that they are in duty bound to hand over the entire net receipts, but the col lege financerS are not of the same opin ion. Brown of California Is a present do- ing Berkeley's work, but Pritchard of Stanford has not yet appeared upon the scene. He has delegated a deputy in his place. however, and the battle of diplo- macy is going on. The universities need the practice which they derive from the match games with the athletic club teams. The two universities are satisfied to allow the OlympicS I5 per cent of the receipts of every game played. Last year the most that could be got out or the college man.

A GREAT BOUT
 BETWEEN CLEVER BOXERS.

Al the forthcoming exhibition of the National Athletic Club two Pacific Coast championships will be determined. The contest between Green and Mcconnell will bring forth a middleweight champion of the Pacific Coast. The articles of agreement make it imperative upon the referee to name a winner. The contest between "Kid" McFadden and Fred Maynard will result in a bantam weight champion of the Pacific Coast. Although these contestants have signed for ten rounds, 1t Is also agreed that, if neces- sary, the referee can call additional rounds up to twenty, as winner must be named.
 George Green is doing good work at the Seal Rock House, and Frank Mcconnell Is getting in shape at Crolrs, Alameda. A great battle is anticipated between these new candidates for middleweight honors. Both Green and Mcconnell have been trying hard to keep In the welter- weight class, but they have both learned by experience that they must graduate to the heavier division. They signed to weigh 152 pounds at p. m. on the day of contest, September 23.
 The bantamS, McFadden and Maynard will make it highly interesting for the audience, and their contest alone will un- doubtedy be worth the price of admis- sion.

Tomorrow the fifth match of the sea- son between the Alameda and Pacific Cricket clubs, which was begun last Sun day. will be continued at the Golden Gate ground. The Pacifics, being S1 runs short, will follow on.

PUERTO RICO CAMPAIGN.
Why General Miles Changed His
PIans-obsolete Equipments.

Next follow a number of reports of
various officers and officials to the sec
rotary of war. some of which are en-
dorsed by the secretary. OF the military
academy, for instance, he endorses the
recommendation for an increase of the
number of cadets by twenty annually, to
be appointed by the president. and one by
for the army of the future.
OF the adjutant generals recommends
tons, the secretary says they are judici-
Gus and merit the favorable consideration
of congress. Instead of increase of pay
for officers serving in the West Indies
and Philippines to the next higher grade,
as recommended by the adjutant general,
the secretary thinks that the pay of those
officers, as well as those in Alaska, should
be increased 80 per cent while they are so
serving, because. of the additional expense
they are put to. He says the question OF
payment for damages to farms and other
property by movement of troops will be
made the subject of a special communica-
ton to congress. He recommends that
$50, instead of so. should be allowed for
the apprehension of deserter.
In the subsistence department, the sec
rotary finds an urgent need for reg1-
mental commissary, AMI also for COM
misSary sergeant for each regiment.
Discussing the surgeon generals repc--.
he says 1t was a mistake to deraH r6St-
mental surgeons to large hospitals. but
this could not have been avoided and di-
vision and general hospitals which were
Indispensable, maintained. Ample provis-
ion should be made to supply the places
of surgeons who fall sick.
One of the greatest mercies of the cam
paign were the woman nurses.
The report says that until one had ex-
perience or has made careful observation
he cannot realize the work that these
noble women did for our sick soldiers in
the hospitals; but they cannot be well
employed at regimental hospitals in a
campaign. Both the division and general
hospitals are absolutely necessary, III the
opinion of the secretary. but the general
hospital should be provided with separate
wards for each regiment, so that com
radeS could be kept together.
The secretary says the Red Cross and
other relief associations contributed in a
very large degree to the care and COM
forts of our sick soldiers, and should
receive the grateful thanks of the nation.
The secretary calls attention to Surgeon
General Sternberg's circular of instruc-
tons to the army, issued April %, and
says had it been strictly followed, less
sickness would have resulted.
He feels that force of practical en-
gineers, skilled in electricity should be
engineers should be educated at West
Point. so that an officer can be placed
permanently with each river and harbOr
project. These PROJECTS should also re-
ceive the recommendation of a board of
skilled engineers before appropriations are
made for them.
