Is CHAMPIONS ENTERED
IN DISTRICT DOG SHOW

Fifteen champion dogs will appear
in the show at the Coliseum on Fri
day and Saturday of this week. In
these dogs are eliminated the re-
suits of years of selective breeding
and the fact that they have earned
the coveted title gives evidence of
their bodily perfection. Novices at
the breeding game will. by studying
the lines and conformation of these
dogs, learn just what the standards
Of the various breeds are expected to
stand for.
That progressive step has been
taken during the last year in Wash
ington is evidenced by the fact that
TOUR OF these champions come from
the Kennels of District fanciers.
DIR. u. Z. Buckingham's airedale.
Champion Valley Forge Volcano. is
the only titleholder in his breed
which will be on exhibition. This
dog is a winner of more than fifty

having bred two champions which

which Held may feel Justly proud.

her great Irish wolfhound, Champion
Bally Shannon, which she has re-
Gently brought to this country from

best that this breed has yet produc-
ed and Mrs. Stewart experienced

Out-of-town champions include
Little Pedro and three mates from
the La Rex Doll kennel of Mrs
Peaster in Philadelphia. Champion
Sabine Ringcraft, a smooth fox ter

There is no doubt but that the art
OF base running has fallen into de-
cline due TO the lively ball. That is
one of the questions asked by those
VINO have sent in filled-out question
naires. The answer is obvious.
a Matter of Taking Chances.
Base running is really a matter Of
taking chances so as to profit by a
single was to be expected. We didn't
look for doubles. triples and home
runs as we do now.
Singles also are more frequent now
because with the lively ball any kind
of n grounder is likely TO shoot past
an infiel elder for clean hit. Fans. /
believe. don't realize how much hard
er the infielder's job has become since
the advent OF the lively ball
Now. instead of taking chances on
base running stunts, / find that often
there is more percentage in letting
the runner hold his base and wait for
the next man to hit one through.
That accounts for the falling off in
base stealing. The runner sees moth
ing to be gained by taking desperate
chances when long hit is likely to
cCme any time and drive him around.
1 am sorry to see the fine art of
base running go into the discard, but
it would be foolish to take chances
that do not gain anything. In fact.
the chances OF the batter hitting one
through are greater than those Of the
runner stealing the base.
There are other serious draw wbaehs
to the lively bal.

MARYLAND-PENN CLASH
IN BAL T|M0RE ASSURED

BALTIMORE. Nd, January 2S.-
Third Corps Area athletic authorities
have proved altruists. The Army has
agreed to relinquish its date for Oc-
tober at the stadium with Wash
ington College and will send it's foot
ball gladiators to Chestertown in
stead.
This action makes practically GER
tain the meeting of the Universities
OF Pennsylvania and Maryland on
the date in question. At confer
ence Yesterday Athletic Director
Byrd represented Maryland. while
Recrea ton Officer Harry Adam son
and Athletic Director Charles L. Orn-
stein represented the Army
The Army authorities paved the
way for the contest when they told
Byrd that they had no wish TO lose
such a tilt to the city Of Baltimore
and that rather than have the Red
ana Blue eleven kept away they
would subordinate themselves in the
matter and make a trip to the east
ern shore.
October was the only date upon
Whicb the Pennsylvania and Mary
land eleVens could clash, and the OBJ
stacle TO playing in the stadium was
the Washington College conflict
Coach Tom Kiblen of Washington
College also was favorable to the
playing Of the game with Army at
Chestertown.
This is the second time that the
Sd Corps authorities have stepped
down to make way for big contests
October 27 was released in order to
allow Navy TO bring the Princeton
team to the stadium, and in view of
the Army's unselfish conduct. ]. Cook

HUTCHINSON IS FAVOR|TE

pion and Jock Hutchison. formerly
British open champion. among the

shots with accuracy and tied with
Abe Espinosa Of San Francisco. with
II. Espincsa played most Of the

SaraZen shot an uneven game and

good arm. Simply let the throw from
the catcher go through If the sec
ond baseman is quick and accurate
he can take the throw and then whip
the bali back to the plate in time
to catch the runner from third II
the man on third does not start then
he can tag out the runner from first.
To attempt this play. though, would
be stupid unless the catcher and sec
ond baSeman were both accurate
throwers and able TO get the ball
away quickly. Amateurs could hard
ly do that.
In the last world series both the
Giants and Eanks made the play by
taking a chance or the long throw.
In d college game. where the players
are not so expert, the short throw
seems to work better.
Whips the Ball to Third.
Another play. used merely as a
surprise. is for the pitcher to inter
cept the throw and whip il right
back TO the catcher
Still another system that we
worked successfully, and it took Will
bert Robinson to do il. was for the
catcher to make a bluff as if to throw
to second. Instead he turns and
whips the ball to third. catching the
not be worked too often. Otherwise
the other side Will get wise and sign
the man on third to stick to his bag.
II he did so both runners would be
safe. 1t is up to the nimble mind of
the catcher To decide which play TO
make and act simultaneously with his
thought.
1t was not so much the originality
of these various plays that counted
with the Orioles. 1t was the perfec-
tion with which they were carried
out. We studied those things out at
night and practiced them repeatedly
in the mornings.
Easier to Steal Third.
Though iS never seemed to strike
ball players that way. it is really
eaEier to make steal of third than
OF second. That was one of my long
suits. II was rare that l was ever
thrown out stealing third. In fact.
no ball player ought to be thrown out.
His eye should tell him when to start.
His Judgment of time and distance
must be naturally accurate. In other
words. he should never start for third
until he has sufficient lead. He is
able to get that lead by being behind
the pitcher. If he has the lead then
there is no excuse for his being
thrown out. If he does miss it is
because his judgment is bad.
Fred Merkle was not what one
could call II very fast man on a sprint
but he was an adept at stealing third
base. He never started unless he
had the right lead. Once started he
rarely missed. And to steal third is
of enormous advantage.
Evening star., 1923-01-23

Ii might not be a bad idea If in
some clubs the dues were adjusted
proportionately to the skill of the
player. For example. q man who is
able to play an 1S-hole round under
80 strokes might be charged $500
year: one who normally plays in the
SOS, $3.50: one whose scores are gen
orally between 80 and 100, 500. and
the overwh Ginning majority whose
main ambition is to attain double fig-
ures once in a lifetime. $50. So far
as the writer can learn there are no
courses which follow such a plan.
Age No Bar to Usefulness.
The usefulness and influence Of our
athletes is by no means over when
their days Of active competition are
over. Hundreds of patrons Of pro-
feSSlonai and amateur sport have eS-
pressed themselves recently as hoping
that big Bill Edwards, former Prince
ton foot ball captain, would be ap-
pointed boxing commissioner of New
iogk state, although business consid-
erations probably would lead the
great guard to decline such an ap
pointment if it were offered him.
Ted Coy. the great Yale back. is be-
ing importuned by about twenty clubs
forming the Yorkville Athletic League
to accept nomination for president
OF that organization There is a ire
mendously strong public demand for
men of such character to aid the cause
Of sport in every way. The only
trouble is that there are too few
OF them to meet the demand.
