Hitchcock, polo; Fred Spencer and

Boxing has undergone a radical

of the greatest sports of modern
timcs.o
"I must admit" Mayor Walker
said, in opening his remarks, "that
Bobby Jones can lick me and that
Gene Tunncy can beat me at golf.
But | am the champion dais climber
Of the world. We have all kinds of
champions here and at the end of

Ear Cropping
Bar Defeated
BY United Press Leased Wire

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5.-The
failure of the anti-car cropping ord
nance to pass the annual meeting
of the American Kennel club was
hailed with great favor among the
dog fauciers of the coast.
The ordinance, as proposed, would
bar from competition from all dog
shows any dog whose ears had been
cropped after July |, 1928.
This would have practically end
cd the popularity of the Boston
terriers, Great Danes, Bull terriers,
Schnauzcrs and Dobcrmann PinSch-
crs, whose whole appearance is de-
pendant upon small, shapely, crop
ped ears, fancicrS say.
If the cropping operation is per-
formed by an experienced Vctcrin-
arian with the patient under anacs-
thctics, it is not Il painful process
according to breeders of the crop
ped dogs.
