AIM TO MAKE IT
HARDER FOR DOG
TO WIN TITLE
Sentiment of the American
Kennel Club FavOrs
Sitter Conditions.

That conditions must be stiffened up
TO preserve at the highest valuation
tho American Kennel Club champion
ship title was tho sentiment of the
delegates at the quarterly meeting of
that body yesterday, held in the club
Offices, but the only definite act wa, to
refer the whole matter to ths rules
committee, A. G. Hooley, chairman, TO
report progress at the next quarterly
meeting.
The discussion hinged on q set Of
resolutions presented at the annual
meeting by John +. Collins, delegate
of the Long Island Kennel Club. They
were proposed changes to the present
Rule 3, which states victory in a win
ners' class at a show benching 1000
actual dogs or over shall count five
points, etc, and that wins at speciality
shows, irrespective of how few dogs
are benched, shall count four points
FAILING to agree, the membership
committee, Charles X. Wood, chairman,
did not report at yesterdays meet
ing as instructed and the general dis
cussion ensued. The Collins substitute
rule has three clauses:
First-A percentage system OF fixing
points to be limited TO exhibits having
an actual benching Of one and three
eghths times all dogs benched at all
shows during the previous year, or an
excess of that total, with similar dras-
tic percentages to determine the
four. three, two and one point shows
Second To give special shows a
championship rating based on similar
percentages of actual dogs benched,
but the limit 10 be three points for
shows otherwise allowed four or five
points.
Third-No championship points
awarded In any winners class unless
there are three or more dogs eligible
to compete in such class or unless
connections in other classes have been
among three or more dogs.
The idea is to make It more diff
cult to gain the title Of champion for
a dog by putting a ban on the practice
of sending a dog 20 shows where II
will gain points without a real con
test; that is. by virtual "walkovers."
Among new delegates elected were
Robert A. Scott, to succeed Grant Not
man, for the French Bulldog Club OF
America, and o. Carley Hartman TO
represent the Great Dane Club of
America. q,
II. II. Hunnewell, the newly elected
president. was In the chair, and among
the delegates present were:

FRESHMAN GOLFER
WINS AT HARVARD

Cambridge, Mass. May ia fresh
man golfer, W. Allston Flagg, of New
York, who came TO college from ST.
Marks School, won the Harvard indi-
vidual golf championship this after
noon by beating Laurence NJ. Lombard,
a junior, and over the Oakley Coun-
try Club course.
Flagg, who has a scratch rating down
at Aiken, played a splendidly steady
game to-day under adverse conditions,
and showed much better form than did
Lombard, who had been picked by the
professional, Mike Brady, as a sure
winner of the tourney.
The medal play Of the fnalists did
not amount TO much, Flagg having a
45 for his first nine holes and Lombard
81. Flagg led up on the first eighteen
holes, and the match ended on the
twelfth green in the second round.

YALE FOOTBALL MEN
END SPRING PRACTICE
fRr Telegraph 70 no Tr1hnne. ]

New Haven, May ls.-Spring foot
ball practice at Yale ended to-day with
stiff scrimmage, in which the varsity
team scored two touchdowns from the
centre of the field and held the scrub
scoreless. The work, conducted by
Yale's new coach, Tad Jones, with the
cooperation of his assistants and a
rumber Of interested graduates, was
the most successful in years.
Seventy-fve men reported at the
start Of the three weeks drill, and sp-
proximately fifty men reported every
day. The men have learned a lot about
football fundamentals, and that is all
that Jones and his assistants expected
10 teach them. The squad attended a
football smoker at the University Club

SENIOR OUTDOOR
GAMES ARE SET
FOR AUGUST Il
Metropolitan Athletes Win
Fight for Later Date
-Renz's Record.
By A. c. CAvAGNARO.

The local athletes have won their
fight for late senior outdoor track
and field championship meeting. The
committee Of the Metropolitan Associa-
ton selected August 26 as the day for
the title races at a meeting held last
night.
In former years the games were held
the latter part Of June, but the metro
politan clubs always protested, on the
ground that their athletes were not in
the best OF condition at that time. As
the national championships will be held
at Newark on September and 9, the
local runners will have an opportunity
TO get some real competition before
they meet the stiff opposition at the
American championships.
Hardly had the committee selected
the date when the New York Athletic
Club again put In bid TO conduct the
meet on It's Travers Island track. Il is
almost certain that the Irish-American
Athletic Club and the Johnson G
Johnson Athletic Association, Of New
Brunswick, will make application for
the games.
Nineteen events, the standard cham
pionship programme. will be contested.
They comprise 100, 220 and 44O yard
dashes, u ana 1 mile runs, 120 high
and 220 yard low hurdles, mile walk,
running, high, broad and hop-step
jumps, throwing the discus, 66-pound
weight for distance, 16-pound ham
mer, 16-pound shot and tavelin and the
pole vault. Alvah T. Meyer and Plat
Adams, who were double winners last
year, are sure to experience trouble In
defending their honors.
A report on the record-breaking feas
Of Eddie REM, Of the Mohawk Athletic
Club, in winning the 15-mile New York
and New Jersey state walking cham
pionships at Celtic Park last Sunday,
was received at the local Office of the
Amateur Athletic Union yesterday. The
performance is approved by John J.
McHugh, John J. Dolan, John Z. Ken
nedy and Prosper Clust, who acted In
the capacity Of scorers or timers. II
was announced that the record commit
tee would make a rigid investigation
concerning the race.
