L. P. A., Of New York, incorporated,
formed for the purpose Of protecting

and owners of pedigreed dogs only.
This association has a distinct field TOR
work and usefulness which IS not
reached by any of the present kennel

All persons interested in the pur-
poses Of the organization are eligible
for membership, whether dog owners
or not. The annual membership Zee
has been placed at 81 30 that the men,

OLUMBIA LEASES COURTS
Students to Use Old West Side
Lawn Tennis Grounds.

Additional facilities for lawn tennis
at Columbia have been made possible
BY the recent acquisition by the univcr-
sity of the northerly half OF the block
bounded By Amsterdam and Morning
side avs. and 10th and 117th SITS, the
former home of the West Side Lawn
Tennis Club.
The university has had the southcr.y
half cf the block for several years, but
the land was needed for buildings and
the tennis courts on that portion have
long since been destroyed. 1t is said
by the university authorities that the
northern portion will not be needed for
buildings for several years and that
the courts which have been MAR taincd
privately since the West Side Club
moved away will be available next
spring for use By the students.
These courts have been considered
BY many to be the best in the city, and
it is said that the university IS con
sidering inviting the intercollegiate
Lawn Tennis Association 20 hold the
championship tournament next fall on
the Columbia grounds.
With the purchase Of the new courts
IL is also possible for the Columbia
authorities to contemplate building q
crandstand along the north side Of
South Field. This was impossible be-
fore because two tennis courts would
have had to be destroyed. but with the
objection out OF the way 1t is believed
that a small stard is not impracticahle.
Plans for building the projected hockey
rink on the newly acquired land are
being considered b. the athletic assoc

Every Branch of Society
VIII Join in Protest
Against Drastic
Ordinance.

If any one has an idea that the
muzzling law is being opposed only by
hysterical women and professional dog
handlers they should read a few Of the
letters which come to me daily from
men and women whose names are the
synonyme for success in the financial
world"
This was the statement made during
the week by Alison ". Lederer. head
Of the committee appointed by the
American Kennel Club to represent
them in their fight against the strin-
gent muzzling law. Not only does Mr..
Lederer receive hundreds of letters,
but his Office is invaded by messenger
boys at all hours of the day with re-
quests for bundles Of petitions.
Among the corporations which have
allied themselves with the crusade
against the stringent law are the Bank
ers Trust Company and the Title Guar
antee and Trust Company. Goth Of
these corporations have sent assurance
10 MIR. Lederer Of their sympathy with
the cause and have ordered their mes
sengers TO take back their Offices as
many petitions as they could carry.
Among others who have written ask
ing for petitions are ". Dixon Ellis,
president Of the Valvoline Oil Com
pany; s. A. Bixby. Foster Gilroy. Frank
y. Walton and Robert Miner.
The out-of-town newspapers, too,
have taken up the cause, and, with
the true spirit of 70. have declared
that the New York law never shall be-
come state law.
Hundreds of petitions are being re-
ceived by Mr.. Lederer each day. II is
rot a difficult matter TO find r hundred
persons who are glad 10 sign their
names to the petition which will be
presented TO the Mayor.
II was the original intention 10 have
the petitions ready for presentation
by November II, but the time has been
extended to November 20. Communica-
tions may be addressed 70 Alison W..
