THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,
Probably no friend Of man is sinned
against more than the dog in the mat.

Probably no friend Of man IL sinned
against more than the dog in the mat
ter Of its feeding.
The belief that raw meat will make
. pet fierce" has led many Q person
to deprive his friend Of the very food
1t needs.
The dog is . carnivorous animal.
This Is . fact known to every one,
lily pet, 1t Is largely overlooked.
Veterinarians will tell you that most
Of the dogs brought to them, irrespec-
tive Of malady. show signs Of MANU-
triton.
In almost every such case they ask
as to diet, and mostly CLEAN the infor-
nation that no red meat Is being given.
X
Good raw, Juicy red meat ID the
dogs best friend.
Remember that he is q wolf, In ef-
feet
No one would think Of feeding q wolf
out OF the woods entirely on vegetables
and biscuit, or even cooked meat, but
somehow . great many persons feel
that such a diet Is all right for the
family dog.
Every dog, except the very large ones.
should have a good handful, or even
two handfuls, Of raw ground meat
Large dogs should have several
pounds Of chopped meat in their daily
diet.
It Is better to err on the side of too
much meat than too little.
Emaciated little tikes, with slender
legs, are not suffering from rickets 50
much as malnutrition.
Many an owner Of an ailing dog would
be astonished at the change wrought
in his charge by the incorporation OF
some raw meat in its meals.
This cousin to the wolf can live on
other foods, but not as well. If the an
cestry is sturdy, the animal may get
ance.
If the dog is something Of scrub,
as many good dogs are, he will show
the effects Of lack Of raw meat very
quickly.
Raw beef contains the vitamins and
other extra necessities demanded by
the canine system. Cod liver oil and
the like, while helpful in certain cases,
will not take their place.
Deprivation Of these elements will
come nearer making dOg nerce tnan
all the raw meat in the world
AS to mildness or flerceness Of dis
position, in dog. that depends upon
great many factors, of which diet
is only one.
No amount Of bloody meat will make
some dogs snap and snarl, whereas the
lack of various essentials in their diet
will lead surely to that sad state OF
affairs.
Fostering and annoyance by small
playmates will do more to make q dog
bite than any amount Of raw meat;
no doubt many q good dog Is held
vicious whose only fault Is replying in
kind to the mistaken advances Of some
youngsters. One should never forget
the old French saying. This is wicked
animal-when attacked, it defends it
self"
There is still a little bit Of the wolf
in every dog, and 1t Is in the effort to
keep this relationship under that many
an owner unconsciously keeps from him
the very thing he needs.
Pekinese, cocker spaniels. Boston ter
riers and a multitude Of other dogs
benefit immensely from the inclusion
Of little raw chopped beef in the ra-
tionS.

Officials of the Yankees seemed

ridges decision. Everyone closely
connected with the two clubs is
glad that the excitement is over
and the business of winning ball
games and pennants can go for

Puts Out Warning Signs
Harridge, in doling out his de-
cision, also put out warning signs
to players, not only the GriffS
and YapkS, but all the other
clubs in the league, that any
rowdyism displayed on the field
in the future would be dealt with
much more harShly.

yesterday at the Yankee
Stadium, another of those tense
moments prevailed, although
there was a decided lack of fisti-
cuffs on the ball field. A crowd
of 10000 populated the stands,
drawn by the expectation of
seeing another rip-snorting game
of warfare between marlin g
players whose spikes fly high.
Rival Teams Silent
The GriffS, in their gray clad
uniforms, were silent but tense
as these thrill-seeking fans ex-
citedly wended their way. into
the stands. The Yanks pre-
sented a similar picture as they
went about their practice. But
did the fans see another fight?
No, folks, no. The game was a
mild one. indeed.
Yesterday the Griffs took
whatever misgivings they had
against the Yankees in the form
of playing up-tothe- minute base
ball in defeating the Mccarthy
team, 4 to 3, in 10 innings.
In other words, dear public. the
Griffs showed they had plenty of
stomach out there on the ball
field yesterday, and they were
rewarded with a moral triumph
as we'll as one that counts in
the records by concentrating all
their efforts toward gaining re-
venge for that 16-to-O defeat
handed them by the same Yanks
after the riot in washington
was quelled.
Stewart Pitches SuperbIy
With Earl Whitehill suspended,
Manager Cronin entrusted the
hurting responsibility to Walter
Stewart, formerly of the st. Louis
Browns. Walter, as Whitehilps
substitute, came through with
flying colors, holding the oppo-
sition to six hits and being mas
ter of the situation at all times
except when the Yanks registered
their three markers on homers
by Babe Ruth and Bill Dickey.

Harridge Acts Well

Too, he must maintain as
much strength within these two
particular teams as possible in
order to equalize the race. Had
long suspensions been granted.
Washington would have suffered
more than New York, as two of
it's main cogs would be out,
whereas, but one of New Yo1k's
would be missing.
You see, if some team, such as
Washington, doesn't come along
to seriously challenge the su-
premacy of the Yanks, the
league might as well fold up.
So, all things considered, a
splendid disposition of Black
Tuesday in Washington has
been made by a very under
standing league head and come
Monday we will all live hap
PLY ever after.
And say, was that victory over
New York yesterday balm in
Washington for the whole sorry
mess?
