DOGS OF ALL VARIETIES
|. ARE ARRIVING FOR SHOW

Dogs of every known description,
nicely groomed. and housed in ex-
pensive packing crates, have today
transformed the baggage room of
the Washington Terminal Company
into a huge kennel. Many of the
shipments are accompanied by spe-
cial grooms, who are busy minister
ing to the barks and whines for
food and water and freedom.
An extra force of baggage is
occupied in comparing checks and
hurrying crates into motor trucks for
the final lap of their journey to the
Coliseum. for the Washington Kennel
Club show tomorrow and Saturday.
This feature of the day prior to the
show is being watched by many Gu
rious youngsters with the same in
terest usually displayed at the circus
lot.
At the Coliseum officials of the
local kennel club are cooperating
with the superintendent, George F..
Foley. and his assistants. in placing
the dogs on their benches as they
arrive. while the corps of circus men
from Spratts Patent are occupied in
erecting benching, show rings, exer-
cising rings and kitchens. These
final details are taxing the best ef-
forts of those who are concerned in
seeing the show "go over" in good
style, and judging from the progress
made, everything will be ready for
the exhibit. which will be from 10
am. to 10 pm. each day.
First to arrive were the shepherds,
or German police dogs, as they are
commonly known, from the Frohlich-
luft Kennels of r. NJ. Jennings. jr.. in
Pittsburgh. These dogs are In the
charge Of their trainer, George Benz,
who is to confer with Maj. Sullivan
and INSPECTOR Grant of the metro
politan police relative to using these
dogs as aids in detecting criminals.
Benz has had twenty years expe-
rience in training these animals, be-
ing eight years with the kriminal-.
polizei Criminal police) of Berlin
and four years with the imperial war
office of Germany.
Immediately after the signing of
the armistice Benz came to this coun-
try to train these dogs for Jennings,
and is regarded as foremost in this
profession in America. A demon
stration is to be given to the police
department of the working abilities

Oldham by 90 per cent. Rip Collins,
who went out of Boston to Detroit,
as likely as not will settle down to
the live task of winning ball games
and forgetting that he came from
Texas. Rip pitched fine ball at the
close of the season for Boston.
Pertica should add more to De-
troit than he took away from st.
Louis. True. he isn't such an awful
much. but he can be no worse than
some Detroit let go. A man wise in

opinion. was the best property in
either league-and he was looking

said it,
Landis Likes Homers.
Commissioner Lands has no an
tipathy to home-runs He is loath to
concede il, but he is a bug for home
runs just like the other members of
the base ball proletariat. Having a
soft spot under his jersey for four
base wallops. the commissioner will
and will not even suggest the call
ing of a meeting of the rules COM
mittee to make changes involving the
HOme-run question.
Ihe commissioner cannot call such a
meeting of his own voiton He might
hint at one. Either or both the major
leagues must suggest to the commission
or that they would like to have a meet
ing of the rules committee in order to
bring that committee together.
The stand-patters think il would be
wise TO so little slow in the matter of
changing rules. There are two new
fields coming into the limelight. this
spring, the Yankee Stadium and the re-
juvenated and readjusted Polo Grounds.
If somebody bungled about ground rules
on the start, both the grounds might
get away 20 a handicap and the fans
yell murder and arson.
Considerable misapprehension exists
with regard TO the powers of the COM
missioner of base ball. When the COM
missioner was appointed it was never
with TIE idea of supervising the busi-
ness arrangements of the two leagues
He was appointed to be a court of last
resort, it being the idea that in matters
where a mediator was necessary 1t was
better to have one in base ball than
to seek one in the civil courts.

Difference BetaCeen Major

Largely a Matter of

Hook SIide-A Pitch
er's Peculiar Fault.

n ERSONS unfamiliar with base
ball-even our most faithful
fans-would be astonished to
know the difference between a
minor league and major league
player. Just because young man
does we'll in minor league and has
a great record is no certain indica-
tion that he is of major league
caliber. The line of demarcation is
very plain to one who has made the
game his profession.
The difference between major
Lacquer and minor Lacquer" 1 heard
some one say one day, 'is one step in
going to first base"
That is pretty good definition,
though, of course, it is not complete.
Often you see minor Lacquer who
looks like a world beater and you
have no doubt that he would be a star
in the big league. That is true
sometimes. AS rule, though, you are
thrown off your Judgment by lack of
comparison. with that particular
minor league|tea the, player really
is wonderful Put him In the lineup
with Il major league club and you will
see the difference mmediately. What
you thought great speed then looks
slow.
Speed a Prime Factor.
To your surprise you will often find
that he is always being thrown out at
first by just one step. He lacks just
that little difference in speed. 1t may
be some other fault, like getting away
from the plate; like facing pitching
in a new form. That one little thing
is missing. That is what my friend
meant by zone step" in getting to
first.
The first thing ] notice in young
sters when they report is their speed
If they have it | pay more attention.
If they haven't-unless they should
happen to be phenomenal hitters-
they might as well go right on back.
Very few recruits from the minor
league know anything about the art
of base running. AS a rule they have
been allowed to go along in a hodge
podge way and do the best they can.
If they play well enough to win
games that is considered sufficient.
Very little attention is paid to per-
