ALL ALBANY DOGS
TO Be IN0CULATED
New City Ordinance Requiring
This Precaution to Become
Effective June |

ALBANY, May 16.-Ordinances
governing the handling and sale of
milk by dealers and dairymen sery-
ing the Albany public and regulat-
ing dogs that run the streets of Al
bany were passed by the City Com
mission at their last meeting.
The dog ordinance was a re-en-
actment of the ordinance passed
last month, the original measure
being repealed and a new one en-
acted to perfect certain features.
Under the new ordinance, which be-
comes effective June /, all dogs
must be inoculated against rabies
and tagged, or they may be killed
or sold at the discretion of the CITY
manager, after a period of inn
pounding and advertisement. I'm
der the original ordinance, a dog
owner had the option Of inoculat
ing his dog or having him secure
ly muzzled, but the new measure
requires incubation in every case
The city will do the incubation for
So and furnish the tag, or will ac-
cept a certificate from a licensed
and practicing veterinarian or
physical and issue a tag for so
cents.

Anyway, the situations bad. I'M

he will ever be a terrific hitter of

Stribling is essentially a speed
artist and it is hard to tie up great
speed with devastating hitting. The
youngster has the knack of timing
his punches and getting his bodp
behind the swing but there is al
ways a suggestion of restraint in
mis- attack, as if he realized the
necessity of hurrying the blow and
starting another.
This is not a grave fault, Of
course. but it is the distinguishing
mark between the ordinary punch
er and the knockout. Later on
Stribling may change his tactis and
develop a real kick.
Benny Leonard, in his early days
was much the same type of punch
er that Stribling is now. AS he ma

Sfr"lbifg Isn't A KnOckerOut But It's
In Him To Become q HEAVYWEIGHT
"Strib" a "Speed Artist and
Possible Heavyweight
Champ
By JOE WILLIAMS

Where will the next heavyweight
champion come from and why?
Is one of the numerous youthful
light heavyweights who are now n
Testing the work destined to burst
forth in a state of muscular matur-
lty adequate to the demands of the
office?
Or will Mr.. Dempsey's successor
come up from the black grottoes of
obsecurity as has been true of so
many champions in the past?
Of all the professional fighting
men the heavyweights stand alone
In swift and spectacular develop
ment. Few of them ever progress
from one physical stage to another.
Most Of them are heavyweights in
build and poundage when thew first
attract notice, and most of them at
tract notice Immediately or not at
all.
ms was especially true of Cor
bett, Jeffries and Dempsey.
Fitzsimmons fought as middle
weight, light heavyweight and
ehaVyweigts. Fitz, however, did
not progress bp degrees from one
division to another. He was
physical freak and fought
as naturally against middleweight
as against heavyweights.
Considering MIR. Striblinq
Capentier is the games ouy-
standing example of a gradual ply
steal advancement. The flossy
French miner was remarkable
tighter as a bantamweight, scaling
IN at 116 pounds, and as he took
on weight and age he moved to the
heavier levels of the sport until
finally ne was trading wallops with
the giants.
The American ring has never had
SO many skilled light heavyweights
as exist today, and most of them
are youngsters VINO are fast taking
on weight.
Of this group, which includes
Stribling of Georgia, Slattery Of,
Buffalo, Berienback, of New Pork
and Stone of Philadelphia, the
southerner is foremost in the lime
light.
Stribling has done remarkably
well as light heavyweight and it
Is reasonable to presume that he
will be formidable heavyweight if
he improves as he goes along.
Within another pear or two the
Georgian will have attained his full
growth and strength. By then ne
should be as big and powerful as
Dempsey is today. Whether he will
be the fighter the present champion
is something else.
All you can say for him now is
