loss OF Billy Lush. the coach. within two
weeks OF the Anal contest the Naval

fidence to the baseball game with the

Monday.
Since the falling out with Lush the
team has been taken in hand by his
assistants, Vic Blakeslee, captain of the
1919 nine. and Eddie Miner. who was
at the helm in 1890 The incident served
to make every member of the squad feel
determined 70 fight harder than ever.
The Navy is weak in pitchers, and re-
lance will have TO be placed entirely in
Kelly, a slim but wiry and cool headed
youth. The only change pitcher is Me-
meyer. who will start in right field.
The first piece of hard luck came
when Fleming. the most promising mem-
ber Of the pitching staff, was taken i'll
with pneumonia and was lost for the
season. A little later Humphreys, cap
tain and first baseman, suffered
sprained ankle. Hederman, the short
stop, has been out OF the game a long
time on account of broken nose and
two sprains TO his ankle, while Hogan.
catcher, lost the first month on account
of scholastic difficulties.
The overwhelming advantage of the
Army in the service baseball series gals
the Navy. in spite OF the fact that the
Navy has a small marg n in football
and basketball Out of eighteen games
played between the mines OF the service
schools the Navy has won only five.
The game will be feature of Juno

tion OF the bigs est crowd whichever

Britt, who has been more successful
as an entertainer than as fighter, was

One of the features of the Morris

packs. 1t Is In line with one thing that
might we'll be taken up more extensively
In this country. to wit, putting the dog
through his PAGES not only on the bench
and in the ring. but in the field where
he must work as nature intended him.
Criticism 10 frequently heard to the
effect that the average show dog Is
rarnpered pet not worth It's own salt.
The impression appears in some quar-
ters that a show dog cannot be a real
red blooded dog. Those who know the
show game thoroughly know this Is not
so and yet 1t must be admitted that
breeding for special points sometimes
results in general deterioration.
To offset tendency in this direction.
there Is nothing better than the fleld
trials held under whatever conditions
best suit the breed for which they are
intended. For the collies and sheep
dogs, the trial should be over a pasture,
holding and guiding flock For the re-
trieving breeds, the trial should be I'M

trials are held for other shooting dogs

Such trials add Immensely TO the
public interest In a dog show. The
average layman gets little from the

| is interesting. of course. but he tires Of
1t because he does not know the points
of dog and cannot follow the judging.
Trials Of some sort, however, give the
layman something he can more readily
follow and his interest in the dog game
is more likely to be aroused.
The Morris county show not only has
