A glance over the English dog papers

OF course there are a great number OF
American nillionaires who are really
useful members Of the kennel clubs.
Many of them have been OF inestimable
value to the dog industry in this coun-
try. All of them are in sympathy with
the native breeder who defrays the ex-
penses of the big shows year after year
only to meet with encouragement. for
he cannot compete successfully against
the breeder who receives 30 per cent of

NO SENSATIONS
AT THE BASEBALL

New York, Dec. 9.--In sharp contrast to
the sensational developments of yester-
day, the annual meetings of the National
and International Leagues failed to pro-
duce more than routine announcements
today.
President Ban Johnson stated tonight
that there were no new developments in
the proposed change of ownership of the
New York American League club. The
magnates were In session until long after
dark and then agreed to meet again to-
morrow forenoon. President John K. Te-
ner said that the whole; afternoon had
been given over to a discussion regard
ing the waiver rule and better corpora
ton among the clubs.
AS a result resolution was introduced
that once waivers were asked on player
they could not be withdrawn. This reso-
luton met with almost unanimous favor
and is expected to be passed at the meet
ing tomorrow. Garry Hermann of Gin
cinnati was asked to explain the extent
of his peace negotiations with Charles
Weeghman of the Fedefal League. He
detailed the result of conference which
developed nothing new and no action was
taken in the matter by the magnates.
