German Shepherd Dogs
Leaders at Wilmington

Young Gold Spec, the club show cham
piOn, and Banner Babette won the
championship classes.
Toy spaniels found the Grecnacre
Kennels invincible, winning in every
variety with such noted champions as
Sporting Chance, Ariadne and Ruby
Ensign.
The tiny Maltese aroused much in
terest when Miss Rogers beat I'll Of
the Philadelphia cracks with that cX-
quisite pair Sonita Boy and Baby, for
merly known as Rose Marie. Baby de-
feated such noted ones as MacLcod's
Carey Corkhill and the Plaster entries.
Profusion and texture Of coat, the or
thodoX black nose and small eyes were
where Miss Rogcrs'S pair excelled.
There were more rcversals Of form
again in the Airedale competition,
where the well-known circuit winner,
Delhi Oorang. owned BY J. A. Stilman,
won for the best of the breed over such
good ones as Cricketer, Prince Nobbler
and Tinturn Sport.
A number of the spectators disagreed
with the judge, as the winner was out
of coat and somewhat light in eye. The
Judge, however, thought that his per
feet front, clean skull. neck and shout
ders and COLBY body outwcighed the
lack Of coat, which is defect easily
remedied.
Bulldogs were not very we'll repre-
scented. The noted champion, Princess
Merlow, was shown in poor form, but
was chosen as the best of the breed.
Last week 1T Rumson she took only Il
yellow in the open class. Merlow was
placed over Woodcraft Mahomet and
the Philadelphia crack, Maidstone, "A
very smart white with brindle patches,
which in the opinion Of the majority
scored on condition, soundness and
head.
Sealyham terriers found the famous
champion Locust Lane Star, comfort
ably at the head Of the breed. repeating
his former victories over the imported
Grand Slam, who is the lower to the
/ ground but lacks the soundness and
coat of Star.
Boston terriers brought about lot
of kicking when the heretofore invinci-
bic Peters King was placed second to
Derby Boys Ben. In type, bone and
trappincss the former is much the bet
ter, but lacks the ideal markings OF
Ben, which, however, may be termed
very lucky in getting the blue. lie also
: beat Champion Iris 70. the best of the
breed.
The Hartman Great Danes, Sandow
and 0jura, a very smart pair of home
breds, which were so successful under
Mr.. Hopton, at the Greenwich show,
were beaten here by the OLeary pair,
OLinda Messenger, and Nell Lee. a
very symmetrical pair of fawns, which
had the advantage in size and type.

CORNELL FULL OF HOPE
Expects to Send Out Winning
Football Team This Year.

After many years of ups and downs
the Cornell eleven this year faces one
of. the most successful! seasons in it's
history. Spurred on by the many vic
tories of last year under the coaching
of DR.. Sharpe, the Red and White elev-
en- this fall begins Il neH era IF foot
bali at Ithaca.
1t was the consensus Of opinion
among those well informed about Cor
nel!'s athletics that it would take DR..
Sharpe at least three years To get his
methods well established. In his sec
end ycGr, however, he gave promise Of
developing a powerful football machine
Of the Red and White squad, when,
under many disadvantages. he ROUNDED
out team which defeated Pennsylvania
for the first time in twelve years. This
year, under ideal conditions and with
the assistance of Dan Reed and Ray
Van Orman, DR.. Sharpe, as mead coach
Of CornelPs athletics, will no doubt
develop a strong team.
Such veterans q 'aptain OWearu.
Col yer, Frick and Lair will be most
desirable, as they all approach the 1870
pound mark, but Cool, Mehaffey and A.
d. Williams, while not quite as heavy,
are men with punch that can be re-
lied on.
There is an abundance of backfield
material. Probably the one p aver from
whom most is expected is Charlie Bar
rett, the Brickley of Cornell. Barrett,
when only u sophomore, developed into
one of the best punters Cornell ever
had, and he gives promise of being even
better this year.
Other candidates for quarterback arc
Taber and Shuler, while J. R. Whitney
may give the veterans a hard rub.

PENN TURNS TO GRIDIR0N
Football Practice Will Begin
o-MorroW.

Football practice at the University
of Pennsylvania will begin in earnest
tomorrow, when Captain Jourreay and
George Brooke will receive the candi-
dates. The Quakers will be the lasr
of the big universities in the East to
start work. Mr.. Brooke wanted to be-
gin last week, as his rivals have al
ready done, but the football committee
refused permission.
The lateness Of this start, coupled
with the difficulty of the schedule and
the loss Of so many veterans from last
year, makes the outlook here anything
but bright. AS things now stand, Mr.
Brooke must sift out his candidates
and whip 4 team into condition in less
than two weeks, as the first game Of
the season will be played with Get:ys-
burg on September rs.
The greatest weakness in the team
promises to be in the back field, which
will miss three Of the IS veterans. In

William Haynes Finds Only
Small Percentage
Among the Scotties
and Airedales.

An interesting review on the in
breeding of dogs appeared in THE
Journal of Heredity," Washington,
from the pen of William Haynes.
Mr. Haynes begins by saying that
the prevalent idea that the thorough
bred dog is closely inbred is an erro-
neous one. Upon this belief are based
most of the objections raised against
the thoroughbred either as 4 COM
ranon or a hunting dog. Among dog
fanciers one hears extravagant praise
and bitter denunciation alternately.
In following his investigation Mr..
Haynes has chosen the Scottish terrier
ard the Airedale. One comes from the
Highlands, where it has been known
rs a distinct breed sine" the sixteenth
century. The Scottie is the Oldest breed
of terrier that has been preserved
in anything like its original form. The
Airedale terrier, on the other hand, is
a manufactured breed which originated
in Yorkshire about fifty years ago.
Selecting at random but pic''ng half
from each sex and ten from each vol
ume of the Stud Book for he last ten
years in one hundred Scottish there are
three inbred dogs, one from sire and
his DAUGHTER, one from dam and her
son and one from full brother and
sister.
Selecting 100 Airedalc pedigrees,
there are seven examples of inbreed-
ing. siA from sires mated with their
daughters and one from full brother
and sister. In other words, per cent
of the Scotties and I per cent OF the
AirGdales are inbred.
OF loo Scottish terrier champions
one IL inbred from a dog mated with
his daughter. OF 100 Airedale cham
pions two are inbred, one from dam
mated with her son and one from tuil
brother and sister. Since to breed
champions is The wish Of every fancier,
the percentage Of inbred dogs winning
championships furnishes a gauge to
Judge the effectiveness OF this breeding
system in accomplishing the results de-
sired by the breeders Of these animals.

Awards at Rumson Reversed
in Various Classes-Bob
Gee Declared Best
in Show.

With ideal weather and nearly three
hundred dogs benched, the annual show
which was held in connection with the
state fair at Wilmington, Del, proved
to be even a greater success than those
OF earlier years.
AL! Of the popular breeds wore com
PEELED to abdicate in favor of German
shepherd dogs. which were evidently
the piece de resistance OF the show.
Charles T. Hopton took this breed, as
we'll as q majority Of the other breeds.
The ringside was crowded while the
open classes were being judged, as II
mad somehow been circulated about
that the Rumson decisions were to be
reversed.
This proved true enough, for the
noted Frigga, owned by James '. Con-
verse, which was beaten at Rumson,
but which had repeatedly scored at
other shows, was placed over Thomas
Fortune Ryan's we'll known champion,
Oak Ridge Alarick. The yellow ribbon
went to Arthur Won Kinzingdorf, an
extremely smart looking black, owned
by Mrs. Abbie Rubino. The massive
Siegfried Won Alpenluft, owned by L. l..
De Winter, which scored at Rumson,
was chosen to wear the II. G.
Mr.. Hopton was quite willing to eX-
plain his placing Of the dogs. He said
that it was merely a question Of size
and symmetry. Il the huge, rather
coarse headed type was sought, then
Siegfried undoubtedly should have
won; but at the European shows the
tyne which was in greatest demand
with the leading authorities was the
medium sized specimen, rather narrow
in skull, with erect ears and COLBY
body, as eXPmnliied in Frigga.
Frank Addyman did very we'll in
pointers with Bob Gee, an exceedingly
sound liver and white dog, which made
his championship here without defeat
and finally was chosen as the best of
all breeds. This was a most popular
award.
Mrs. G. Hayward won the Spratt's
brace cup for the best brace in the
show, with her beautifully matched
Pekingese, Fan Tan and Manchu Prince
! Chang. The best in Pekingese, how
! ever, was Champion Sun of Llenrud

MUZZLING LAW
IS OPPOSED
Noted Judge Advocates
the Restrictions I'm
posed in England.
Kennel Editor Of The Tribune.

Kennel Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Since the publication of my
letter regarding the drastic muzzling
law in your issue of September 4 !
have received nearly fifty letters from
prominent residents Of New York City
and dog lovers living in the nearby
towns who are much disturbed over
the intended cruel muzzling law, and
who agree with me that such action
could be avoided By adopting the same
rule as applied in England, namely, in
sisting that all dogs on the public
highway should be under control, by
being held on leash or chain.
In England, a country owning many,
many times more dogs than America,
and where rabies has been unknown for
many years, thanks to a proper sys-
tenn of taking care of the homeless ami
mails. all that is necessary when walk
ing with ones dog is to have 1t on
leash or chain.
OF course it is compulsory, as in New
York. to have a license for ones dog,
but on the other side one gets some
protection, whereas here it seems as
though the S. P. c. A. has no idea OF
taking in the poor, homeless animal
the cause of all the trouble.
have seen quite number OF dogs
this last week fainting from their ef-
forts to disIodge the brutal muzzle'
several frothing at the mouth, which
many ignorant persons have described
as madness" and a sure sign OF
"hydrophobia." 49,
There is a sane way out of this
dilemma. The local government should
assume the task of collecting the Ii
cense fee. and have an efficient staff of
officers, who will sincerely enforce the
law that all dogs on the public high
way must be under control-that Isl to
be on a leash or chain, taking up all
dogs which are not under control, and
exterminating the poor, homeless ami
NAL, the true menace.

The veterans lost from the back field
are Captain Young, at half back; Minds,

last year. The only line men missing
are Crane, at one tackle, and Simpson,
at centre.
The other 10 veterans who have
promised to report tomorrow are WOLF,
guard; Harris, tackle, and Setback and

men were so good that they vii! make
