Photographic
Dog Show for
Fifty Breeds

Fifty breeds of dogs were rcspre-
scented at the first American photo
graphic dog show held at the Hotel
Biltmore in aid of the Blue Cross.
The special prize presented by "The
Spur" for the best of any breed in
the exhibit was won by Killearn Alpin
Slirtrig, a Dandic Dinmont terrier. and
the property of Alfred B. Maclay. The
reserve under the same conditions was
won by Lottie Won Edelweiss, Ger
man sheepdog owned by l.. f. +. Wan
ner, and the prize was donated by
Brooks Brothers.
AS whole the gallery of dog photo
graphs was of unexpected variety and
charm, while many of the items were
as spirited and graceful in detail as
a study by an artist. The entries were
judged solely as photographs, and there
was always delightful and unusual
uncertainty as to which animal the
sun had most clearly told the truth
about. In some instances, as may be
inferred, dogs worthy of blue ribbon
on the bench had to give way to other
aspirants that in actually might never
hope for dog success, simply because
of inferior Photographic results. The
dogs were judged by such authorities
as Daniel P. Ritchey, Sheridan S. Nor
ton, Theodore Offerman, Alfred B..
Maclay, Malcolm Strauss, F: Freeman
Lloyd. Mrs. William c. Wiederseim
and Mrs. Orville II. Tobey. John F..
Collins, Mrs Haley Fiske and Charles
f. Proctor at the last minute were
unable to attend.

competitions were:

Assured for Championship
Kinsella, King Of Squash,
Plays for the Red Cross

Two keenly waged professional
squash tennis matches were played on
the Columbia University club courts
yesterday for the benefit Of the Red
Cross. In one the worlds professional
champion Walter A. Kinsella, of the
Squash Club, defeated Frank Latforgue,
the Yale Club professional, by score
of 15-9, Ills, 15-11, 1S-14. The
second match resulted in victory for
Harry Harris, the Montclair A. c. pro-
fessonal, his victim being William S.
Gray, the Columbia Club professional,
who was defeated in straight games at
1910, 15-12, 15-10.
In the match between Kinsella and
Lafforgue the former conceded his op-
ponent five aces in each game, and this
so nearly equalized matters that there
was merry struggle for the honors
Lafforgue made some remarkable gets
but could not quite put over the vic

lctics and representative of the War
Department Commission on Training
Camp Activities at Camp Dcvens, where
the Seventy-Sixth Division is stationed.
Captain Michigan prepared this pro-
gramme for the soldiers at Camp De-
vens as means of determining the
relative athletic calibre Of the COM
panies in the division. Each man was
required to pass in eight of the tests
to obtain positive mark for his unit.
Besides showing the excellent physi-
cal condition Of the soldiers, the test
demonstrated the value of sound
athletic training in equipping a man

stated "Whcn some of these men
cane tc camp they could barely raise
a sixty-pound weight from the ground
let alone lifting it above the head with
one hand, and they would be gasping
for breath after running a block. But

President Larnpert, Of Chi
cago Athletic Association,
Fathers Gigantic Scheme

A supcrathletc programme under
government control and direction, max
ing it certain that every American be
given the opportunity to gain a sound
and we'll drilled body in the manner
best liked by each individual, has been
evolved by Nelson N. Lampert, pres-
dent of the Chicago Athletic Associa-
ton, and turned over to the Washiny-
ton Administration for consideration.
The plan virtually calls for a score
tary of athletics in the national Cab,-
net and for at least as much rccocni-
ton of the development of American
physique as is now given by the Sec
Rotary of Agriculture to the improve
ment of livestock.
1t is called to the attention of the
government that at present only a
very small percentage of the American
people have an opportunity to get ath-
letic training during the ages when
this training can be most valuable.
Our schools make it possible and nee
essary that the child from eight to
fourteen be given rudimentary educa-
ton. But from the age of fourteen to
tWenty-one, when physical training
is most valuable to the youth, less
than 5 per cent of the population of
the country get the systematic devel-
opment of physique which is the ideal
method OF lettering the race.
In advocacy of the Lampert plan it
is pointed out that our athletes. and
especially our college athletes, have
been the best material from which to
raise our armies. A systematic ath
lctlc training provides youth with a
sound body and the ability to learn
quickly whatever his military teachers
desire to impart. A nation of athletes
is always prepared.
Baseball Given First Attention
Baseball, the national sport is given
first attention in the Lampert plan
This sport is more widely difuscd than
any other, and is of particular value
IN the development of soldier material,
AS IN the raising of the National
Army. the election machinery of the
country could be used according to
plan for the time being in the forma
ton of baseball schedules for every
precinct in the country and for the
classification of the youth according to
age or ability. Each game played could
be credited to the youth in his term Of
national service. No one would be so
poor that he could not take part in the
training, as where all must give their
share of service there is no hardship
visited upon any one. The highest in
terest in the games would be main
tanned by the race for the national
championship as the winning team of
each precinct league moved up in the
scmi-iinals until the last games be-
tween the surviving teams of all the
country were played. Three classified
tlons junior, intermediate and senior
would take care of the disparity in
ages.
1t would be the duty of the officials
in charge of each Congressional dis
trict to see that each precinct had its
! sports, field and athletic paraphernalia

Futurity Nominations Prove
Growth of Breeding In
dustry Locally

BALTIMORE, March 9.-Evidence OF
revival of thoroughbred breeding IN
the states of Maryland, Pennsylvania,
New York and Virginia, which has
brought the Atlantic seaboard states
into position of rivalry with the
longer established industry of the Blue

the prospective starters are named
some months prior to the time of foal
ing.
Of the 956 mares named for the FL
turity of 1920 nearly 800, or about 80
per cent, are the nominations of farms
IN the four states mentioned. The
biggest advances in thoroughbred pro
duction, according to the evidence OF
this Futurity list, have been made by the
states of Maryland and Pennss. ana.
But New York and Virginia are keep
ing close to the pace.
The heaviest nominators still
are Harry Payne Whitney, whose
stud is domiciled at Brookdale
Farm in New Jersey, one of the sea-
board states that are tagging behind,
and Arthur B. Hancock and Henry T

studs arc in Virginia. But rival studs

LETTER FROM MARSHALL DAVIS
Naval Base, July 2s, 1918.

Naval Base, July %, 1918.
Ny Dear Folks:
Your letter arrived today and as
usual finds me busy and about roasted
with the heat. 1t has been very warm
here the last week.
We had little excitement here yes
terday. One of the big dirigible ba-
looms returned from a scouting trip
and was about to make a landing when
one of the stays broke and 1t fell. The
pilot tried to land in the clear but it
fell on one of the big airplane hang
ars. the men had gotten out safely
and were looking at the wreck when
the gas was ignited by live wire on
the wireless il exploded and burst into
flame. Everything caught like tinder
and all was ablaze in no time. We
saved all but three machines and q
few stores. There were seventeen air
machines and lot of equipment close
but it was all moved and saved. There
were about two thousand men helping
and / fought fire until ! was over
come by the heat and was carried
away, but was all o. X. in little
while outside of a little headache. l
am fine and dandy now and feel like
doing it again; but if Hades is any
hotter than that fire l am going to
mend my ways. The damage is esti-
mated between three and five hundred
thousand. Uncle Sam is right on the
job for they have good start on
new set of buildings and it will all
be built in about a weekfi
How do you like the war news the
last few weeks? From the looks of
things the Dutch will not last long.
Wall Street is betting two to one it
will be over in Sky days. All that
worries me is that l won't get to take
much of part as l guess | am here
for the rest of the summer.
l am glad the celebration went of
in such agood manner and every one
had a good time.
would like to be there few days
but / have been so busy that have
had no time to be homesick. / am
getting along fine with my work and
/ am learning a little more every day.
Katz just came back from fur
