The Giants had asked waivers on their veteran after ob taining the services of Frank Hogan in the deal for Rogers Hornsby and Judge Emil Fuchs decided his club could not afford to allow their old standby to pass out of the league.
 Over at Bradcntown, Pitchers Rus- sell, Billy Bradley and Danny Mac Fayden cut loose yesterday during the Red Sox drill and the form they flashed tickled Manager Bill Carri- gan.
 Bill put on his old catcher's mitt hn1 took everything they could offer. which was plenty. The boys showed they could do their stuff and when curves were called for, they had lit tie difficulty in delivering. The rest of the squad indulged in a lot of general practice, featured, however. by some expert sharp shooting by the catchers to second. Most ot the men looked to be in good form.

DOG HANGERS ARE
 NOW TAKING SIDES
Cropping of CaninS' Ears Is Subject of Debate

New York. Feb 29 OCP)-None of the talking dogs which recently have come to fame would discuss the problem today but many human beinss were absorbed in debating 1t.
 Should. or should not. the ears of dogs exhibited at shows bo crop. ped? The New York state legislature has taken the negative and has pass ed Il law forbidding the cropping. Only Governor Smith can forestall the measure.
 Thus opponents of the bill are combining for ;s last minute appeal to the governor. They contend that the law, which was sponsored by the American Humane Society and q strong faction'in the American Ken mel club, will end the popularity of Boston terriers, bull terriers. Man chester terriers. great Danes, Schnauzers and Dohermann. Pinsch- CTS.
 Deterioration Of the breeds is a certain consequence of such legisla. tion, the cropping supporters charge.
 C. R. WiiliaDla vice presid ent of the Great Dane club of America was so wrought up about 1t that he threatened retaliation. He and his followers, he said. might join ferces with the present enemy, the Hu- mane Society. and attempt to ob- tain legislation which would make t illegal to pluck a dogs whiskers or dock dogs or a horses tale.
 "One is no more painful than the other." he said.
