The Hermann Mystery.

The mystery which envelops the
presence in our midst of August Herr
mann the Burgomeister of Cincinnati
remains impenetrable. He remains in
comunicado at the Commodore. The
trail of dill pickle cores that was spread
from the Commodore tc the Pennsylvania
Station seems to have been only a blind
10 deceive the unwary into belief that
the Burgomeister had returned to the
Rhnelands.
The house detectives borrowed a
dachshund and put him on the trail
yesterday afternoon. The intelligent
animal was not deceived by the false
pickle train. He did not head for the
an elevator for the sixteenth floor and
came to an eloquent point outside the
door of one of the suites.
The animals instinct did not go
wrong. 1t was found to a certainty that
Mr.. Hermann had dug In there Efforts
to draw him into conversation were
futile.
Mr.. Hermann is in conference with
himself and will not talk to anybody
else" Il was announced over the teie-
phono That settled IL for the day any
how. The going into conference Of
August Hermann Is complicated and
ponderous matter. Once in conference
with himself Mr.. Hermann loves to sit
and listen to himself think. Even when
he thinks of absolutely nothing the oc.
cupation absorbs him for days and DAYS
at time.

McNally and Scott Joined Babe Ruth,
Carl Mays and Waite Hoyt on another

spent the greater part of the day on
the links. while DeVormer took his

Tomorrow. however, IL the weather
is fair. Schang, DeVormer. Scott and

KING OF DOGDOM Is
BEATEN AT BOSTON
Barkentine, Great Airedale,
Placed Second to Hard
Cider.
By FRANK #. DOLE.

Special Dispatch TO THE New YORK HERALD
BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 23.-Jack Demp-
sey was a very interested spectator at
the Eastern Dog Show this morning
While he came in uuheralded, his pres
ence was soon known, and he won the
hearts of all the dog exhibitors by the
enthusiasm he manifested in all breeds.
When asked by a representative of THE
NEW YORK HERALD what was his favorite
breed he answered For an outdoor dog
like the police dog for an indoor dog
the Pomeranian; for duck shooting, the
Chesapeake Bay dog. Chesapeake Bay
dogs impress me because they are one
of the two breeds that are truly ar
American dog. the other is the Boston
terrier. and he's the dog / like for an
indoor dog and an outdoor dog"
Dempsey showed he had an eye for
good dog when he picked out Homer
Cages wirehaired fox terrier Miss
Springtime for the best fox terrier in
the show.
The special for best In the show
brought together twenty dogs, the ex-
element finally narrowing down TO Miss
Springtime. Mrs. b. +. Lewis's English
greyhound; Champion Lansdowne Sun
Star and William A. Richards's bulldog
Champion Silent White Duke.
Miss Springtime was in tip-top condi-
ton and won easily. The victory was
a popular one and justified the opinion of
the writer at the Westminster Kennel
Club show in New York last week in
declaring that this fox terrier as the
possessor of all desired qualities was
deserving of the highest honor. The
best Of the opposite sex was won by
Lansdowne Sun Star.
The variety class dogs and bitches
brought out a lot of competition. The
winner was the sensational Airdale ter
rier Boxwood Barkentine. The old
adage that the pitcher goes to the
well once too often was exempliied in
the variety class American bred dogs and
bitches when Boxwood Barkentine was
beaten by that sensational New Eng
land bred wirehaired fox terrier Hard
Cider, owned by Mrs. Henry Stephens.
This practically eliminated Barkentine
for best in the show, also Hard Cider.
which was previously beaten by Miss
Springtime, one of his own breed.
In sporting variety. Mrs. B. f. Lewis's
greyhound Champion Lansdowne Sun
Flower defeated ring full of good dogs.
Variety class transporting dogs and
bitches was won by the Greenacre Ken
nels Chow Ii Ping Too.
In variety class terriers the winning dog
was the wirehaired fox terrier Short Cut.

Welsh Scout was second.

MYSTERY IN ROUSH CksE
Barrow Is Making Final Prep
aratiOns to Send Yankees
to New Orleans.
BY w. o. MCCLELLAN.

Charles III. Ebbets, the good old
Squire of F1atbush, officially pro-
claimed that spring had come yes
terday by shipping the advance guard
of the Brooklyn Dodgers to Jackson
ville Fla. The good ship Arapahoe
steamed from port with the most val
liable cargo of ivory ever cleared from
this port.
The consignment included Hal jan
vrin, AL MamauX, Chuck Ward, Clar-
ence Mitchell, John Auer, Frank Nc
Carron, Dutch Ruether and semi
pro pitcher lassoed on the outskirts
of FIatbush Many of the players took
their families with them and the party
was augmented by several of the most
intrepid war correspondents of Brook
lyn.
The good old Squire did not come %
the dock to see the Dodgers depart as
las been his custom. Concern over the
demands Of some of the Dodger holdouts
has impaired the health of the Squire.
lie will leave for the South later 5y
train. The Squire is one of the pic.
In order to set an example of thrift and
industry the Squire takes all tickets
personally at the gates.
1t is refreshing sight to see Mr..
Ebbets in his Palm Beach suit with a
benevolent smile on his kindly face
making change for the customers. Also
the admonitions he delivers to small
boys who attempt to get by him without
going through the form of paying are
full of good advice to the young. Mr..
Ebbets never Is too busy to explain to
the youth that it would be encouraging
idleness to let those without the price In
for nothing. Mothers have been known
to bring their offspring for miles 20
hear one of the Squire's homilies.
Wilbert Robinson. the circumferential
manager of the Dodgers, has started
from Jacksonville to sort over the ivory
consignment. Uncle Wilbert has been
spending the winter at Dover Hal,
Georgia, and Is fit to stand the strain
of the season.

King of Swat Is Sought

Point System Abolished
for Olympic Games
BIZ the associated Press.

COLLECTION OF the winning ma
y tion in the Olympic games at
Paris in 1924 will be upon a
go-as- -you-please basis. No longer
will statisticians burn midnight oil
trying to figure out which nation ac-
cumulated the greatest number Of
points, for the simple reason that no
points are to be awarded.
A careful reading OF the minutes
of the Olympic and international
Amateur Athletic Federation con-
ferences, held at Lausanne last sea-
son, fails to discover any reference
to points" Members of the Ameri-
can delegation explained the alb
sence of such reference by the state
ment that there were several discus
sions regarding the system under
which points should be scored at the
eighth Olympiad, but that no agree
ment could be reached.
AS result 1t was decided that the
point system should be abolished. In
the future each nation can figure its
points upon any system desired, but
no official cognizance shall be taken
of such compilations.
