Only Entries Winning Best

Qualify.
FOR ALL BREED PRIZE
Adaptability and General Ip-
stinctiveness of Cocker Span
ieI ArOuses Interest.
FOR ALL BREED PRIZE
By FRANK It. DOLE.

The history Of sport has demonstrated
clearly that all big fixtures have been
improved in the managerial line as they
Po along. and in the majority of cases
the suggestions fors Improvement have
come from mistakes of the past. AS a
general rule those at the head Of big
events take note of the shortcomings
and take the proper steps for the remedy
ere the event shows in sight for the
r.eXt time.
The recent exhibit of the Westmin-
ster Kennel Club at Madison Square
Garden furnished a spectacle which in
my opinion needs some reformation, and
which should come in for the attention
OF the Board of Governors or the Dog
Show Committee before the season of
1922. I allude to the method of judg-
ing the best of all breeds and the in
consistent proceeding of seeing dogs pa
rading around on the sawdust which had
10 earthly right or license to try for
the title
For instance, there were five shep-
herd dogs in the ring and nobody could
for moment tell why they were there
II is true that Josele's Dolf Won Dus-
ternbrook, owned by Mr.. Joe Widener
or Philadelphia. had every right there.
as he won the best Of his breed in the
snow, but 1t needs an explanation from
tie Dog Show Committee as to what
brought in the other contenders. Much
the same condition applied to other
breeds, and especially to some of the
cracks which took fliers in the unclassi-
Led specials. For instance. Midlxiff Sc
ductlve. the rare little cocker spaniel
Bitch which won the best of all breeds.
went through her own class to winners
and then beat the best of the opposite
rex, thereby establishing her unques-
toned right to enter the final tilt for
the highest honors of the show.
On account of being exhibited in the
ring there is no doubt that the little
dog was tagged out, yet she was asked
TO compete against Phantom of Ash
croft, Peke that had been tuning for
the event for three years and which a
short time previously had been given
only sort of preliminary canter in one
of the unclasslfied specials. The peke
was as clipper as If he had been taken
out for his morning constitutional.
Had the Yankbourne candidate been
put through the same gruelling as the
cocker his tail may have hung a little
lower and he may not have shown so

In Interest of Fair Play.

What | would suggest, and il is in
the interest of fair play to all genuine
exhibitors. is that only dogs which have
won the best in their respective breeds
should be allowed to show for the best
in the show. Unclassified specials and
other events should not count with dogs
whose owners have only an eye 20 the
big item of the show. a short glance
at other high class sports will show how
ridiculous it is for an exhibitor to think
he has a right to make a bid for the
highest prize without properly qualify
ing for IT. In lawn tennis and golf
the champion has to play through ss
well as the least meritorious competitor.
and in racquets court tennis and
squash il is the same. In the horse show
the champions of this year cannot go
in for next years championship on the
strength of this years showing Neither
can the athlete in the track and field
sports go into the final of the sprints
without qualifying in the trial heats
and semi-finals. and It is the same rule
down the line. Why then should not
the same rule apply to the dog show
Make the dog earn his right TO qualify
for the final and there will be no fur
their criticism IL will be a fair deal
for all.
Since the cocker spaniel won the orize
for the best Of all breeds at Madison
