 He moved up a block, to Forty fifth street. taking his audience and his enthusiasm with him. He re- peated his performance at each cross town street until he reached Forty eighth, when he was told that the police were on his trail. He then promptly disappeared in taxicab, bound for the black belt in Harlem:

 Birmingham will again be proud of the great Doughboy, owned by E. J. Rowe and handled by John Willard Martin, who took second prize. He found birds at trial but was not at his best, due probably to rainy field conditions.
 Oktibbeha Kid Ray. owned by W. H. Sikes of Starksville Miss, and handled by Webster Price, found birds in both preliminaries and final, and really bore more promise in the preliminary than he fulfilled in the final.
 The derby was run Tuesday under very difficult conditions of almost constant rain and none of the dogs could do their best

 The third prize was divided be- tween Broomstick, owned by H. P. i Whitaker of Cincinnati. Ohio, handled by Chesley Harris and Great Island Devil, owned by William Zeiglef handled by Joe Crane.

Todd Meets Loughran

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Roland Todd. the defensive wizard of the English ring. holder of the British middle weight championship, will need all his defensive skill in his first bout in the United States. He is to meet Tommy Loughran, the Philadelphia light heavyweight boy, in the semi final scrap of the Harry Greb-Gene Tunney fight at the Garden next week.
 Loughran is a rangy youth, who has given the agile Greb four whal- ing fights and has traded punch for punch with Tunney. He is of the clever school but. unlike Todd, who also is a clever boxer, Loughran has wallop.
 Todd won his British middleweight championship from Ted Kid Lewis. It was reported that he was so fast on the defense that Lewis didn't lay a glove on him with any force in 20 rounds.

RADIO IN WAR TIME
Favors International Confer
ence to Consider Form
of Treaty.

An international conference FOR the
purpose of drafting into treaty form
the report of a commission of jurists
which met at The Hague December
II. on rules of warfare to govern the
use of radio telegraphy and aircraft,
is favored by the American govern
ment. The other powers represented
on the commission-Great Britain
France. Italy, Japan. Holland--are
said to have been approached in this
connection, but so far as known a
decision has not been reached.
Text of Report Made Public.
The State Department yesterday
made public the text OF the general
report of the. jurists' commission.
which in it's final form comprises
twelve articles dealing with radio and
sixty dealing with aircraft. The sub
stance OF the more important articles
proposed already has been published.
The plan of the Washington confer
ence which created the commission of
jurists contemplates the writing of
these new articles into international
law to deal with agencies Of war
fare developed since The Hague con-
the Washington conference did not
itself deal. Until the new proposals
have been put in treaty form and
been accepted universally by the ma :
tions they cannot be regarded as eff
fective or as setting up new doc
trines of international law
Examination of the proposed rules
q warfare for radio and aircraft
shows that the commission of jurists
did not seek to declare any new prin-
eiples. but only to apply the recog-
nized principles of existing interna :
tional law to these new agencies OF
warfare. seeking to make the appli-
cation in accordance with the physi-
cal properties of each agency.
