Two Sides 20 Affair."

I DO NOT intend this as a personal
attack upon Mr.. STREET., as he evil
IDENTIFY was being facetious or plain
thoughtless in a rather disagreeable
way. Mr.. STREET. knows what the
steeplechase jocks have to contend
with and he sympathizes with them
in this instance a trifie more thar
they need it.
In newspaper offices we learn
good deal about the trials and
tribulations Of photographers.
Also of the courage they display to
get pictures which, fundamentally
mean little or nothing to them, and ]
think Bill STREET. has overlooked their
side Of the question entirely. He and
every hunt race oficial in America
ought to think that over a bit.
Altogether, it was a peculiar COM
mentary, embodied in an article il
lustrated by five pictures, Of which the
largest was proudly captioned, "A
Double Spill at the Adjacent Hunts
Meeting" That was the place where
the horse Rod did such good work
against those enemies of sport-the
photographers.

Not Always in Game.

DYKES was said to have the worst
outfield in the majors when the
season started. His infield was none
too hot, as shown by the fact he took
over Tony Piet to play second after
Tony had outlived his usefulness in
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.
At various times throughout the sea-
son Jack Hayes filled in for Appling,
and the fact that he came through
as well as he did proves the honesty
of Lukes assertion that he had no
desire to take all the credit in be-
coming the first shortstop to win the
American League batting crown.
Appling's preseason expectations
we're unlike those shared by Arky
Vaughan. Winner of the 1885 Ma
tional League batting crown with an
average which threatened to wind up
at the 400 mark, Vaughan was looked
upon as almost a cinch to repeat
An uncanny knack of pulling the ball
on a line into left field had stamped
him one of the most dangerous bat
ters in the league. Arky was no
sucker for bad balls, and pitchers
had to put it over the plate to get
the Pittsburgher to 60 for it.

Hits EN- Where They Are.

RUT Vaughan hit them directly
into the hands of waiting receiv-
ers this year. Arky hit as often and
rs hard as ever for several months
and saw his batting average dwindle
as low as $50. During the last six
weeks of the season the hustling Pirate
infielder regained the knack Of hit
ting them out of reach Of the enemy
and finished up the season with a
respectable 1886 average.
Comparison Of the rival shortstops
does not give Appling the edge because
his batting mark was higher than
Vaughan's. The price the latter would
command in the open market would
be good deal higher. .

Appling has been in the majors
six years. Graduating from Ogle-

up with the Atlanta. club and showed
suficient ability to make the jump
to the Chicago White Sox in one sea-
son. His job was none too secure
because of a tendency to be weak with
the stick.
During the 1885 campaign, when
Jimmy Dykes surprised the base ball

fifth place, Luke made amends by
smacking the ball at .306 clip to
assure him a regular place in the

DOGDOM

UGH OF the pleasure of the
nu dog show to the true addict
wi comes from the "bull ses-
sions," or post-mortems, which
follow the show. It is in these ses-
sions that the success or failure of the
show and the show-giving club finally
Is settled. And it was at a series of
such sessions that the Alexandria show
of October II was judged and pro-
nounced good. Both the show and the
club were handicapped severely by the
lack Of suitable building, but the
very faults of the locale were respon-
sible in some measure for the spice
OF the show. Everybody was amused
at the strange fruit which all the
trees in the neighborhood suddenly
sprouted. Oaks, naples, willows and
sundry others which surround the lawn
on which some of the larger breeds
were judged all sprouted grinning
pickaninny heads. A visit to the
show grounds on the morning after
the show, and before the tents and
benching had been removed, disclosed
the whole neighborhood gang, complete
with every mongrel in the neighbor-
hood, busily engaged in playing dog
show. It is Of such stuff that dog
fanciers are made.
The obedience test classes al
ways draw good audience, and
at this show, where the entry
was topped by the breed that is
most interested in obedience
tests, the German shepherd, the
interest in this class was most
intense.
DR.. william E. Compton's Jill Of
Garasstana gave flawless perform
ance and netted neat 100 per cent
in this, her first test since the new
A. K. c. rules and degrees we're in
augurated. But as If to prove that
intelligence and trainability are not
the prerogative of any one breed. Sec
ond place in the class Of 13 was taken
by a Chesapeake Bay retriever, Bay
Bum, owned by Mrs. A. w. Owens, jr,
OF Baltimore.
Jill's daughter, Nan of Clarandall,
recently annexed the coveted c. D.
Companion 4dog) when she qualified
in two novice obedience test classes In
two days, at Wilmington and at Read
ing. As Nan is only 8 months old,
that is q record Of which both she
and her owner and handler, DR..
Compton, may well be proud.
Perhaps the proudest man at the
show was DR.. Charles r. Davis Of
College Park, when his lovely little
parti-color cocker spaniel bitch was
strutting her stun in the hotly con-
tested sporting group. Boban,s Bright
Skirt came out Of the show with
whole flock Of. blue and purple rib
bons, but probably prizes the yellow
she got for third place in the group
more highly than the others.
MRS. r. G. BIRNEY recently visited
A'A her sister In Cleveland, Ohio,
and while there attended the Boston
Terrier Specially Show on the WELL
known theory Of the letter carriers
holiday. She came home from Cleve-
land with q very promising male
puppy, purchased at the Middleton
Kennels, for which, under the name
of Aspin Hill Delight, she prophesies

Dodge, the former Genevieve Rocke-

Promising puppies and show-type
grown dogs continue to be stolen from
the suburbs Of all large cities. The
lost and found columns Of all city
newspapers abound in cries for pedi-
greed dogs that are lost, strayed or
stolen, and too often they are stolen.
DR.. r. p. Rogers of Greenwich, N. Y,
has been putting much constructive
thought on the subject and has drawn
up a set Of laws Of dog registration
which, if adopted and enforced, doubt
leSsly would aid in apprehending many
dog thieves. However, dog thieves
often operate in interstate, and some
times international, gangs. Therefore,
to be truly effective, uniform laws
would have to be adopted In all States.

BY ROBERT B PHILLIPS, Jr.

Y YOUNG Mr.. william B STREET.
" Of Warrenton once was one
of the most famous and best
a gentleman jockeys in Amer
lea. Today he Is a very competent
trainer of steeplechase horses. a keen
fox hunting man, and as sort
of sideline, hunt racing reporter for
the Sportsman. Mr.. Streets his
tory and qualifications being what
they are in other fields 1t Is rather
startling to flnd him writing as fol-
lows in the current issue Of the maga-
zine which pays money for his valu-
able observations:
Really the best job Rod did that
day was to almost jump (sic) on
five or six photographers at the fence
just below the stands. He had men
with cameras running every which
way. It might do those fellows good
to have a couple of bumps some time
because they've given plenty Of jocks
bumps by popping up right in front
Of fences to take pictures, thereby
soaring the horses and making them
fall down. Last Spring at Rockaway
Rough Diamond threw his rider right
into photographers lap; you never
saw such a surprised looking man
in your life. but that time he had to
jump the wing to do it and that's
hardly worth while"
Maybe several years of being
bumped around in steeplechase
falls will develop that sort Of
sense Of humor in . man, but
wonder il STREET. has considered
exactly how the photographers
feel about the whole business.
Oddly enough, not one in ten thou
sand of them Is painting to 60 to a
steeplechase meet and pop up in front
of fences. Most of them feel that the
hunt race is a silly sport, conducted
for the benefit of a select and some
times snobbish crowd, that they prob
ably will be received with coolest
courtesy, if any, while trying to make
pictures at the meets. Nevertheless,
they have jobs to do. and they try to
do them in a way that will produce
the best pictures.
A good picture, as any person famil-
lar with public reaction knows, is
worth 10000 words. Ergo. good pic
lures help to build up popular interest
in race meetings, and however much
the boys like to blow of about the
sport of the thing and all that. there
will be few big purses at hunt races

Chief problem that confronted the

pitcher when he arrived here to spend

colored convertible sedan. The problem
was that Mrs. Dean wanted the car
herself.
or Diz solved that one by buying
himself a light truck that he could
bat around Bradenton In at nearly the
same speed his big yellow car will go.
Mrs. Dean didn't care about driving
the truck, so Dizzy has that for his
exclusive use.

THEN there was little matter about
an income tax return. The Gov

than Dean had put down about certain
exemptions he claimed. A lawyer
fixed that up.
But just when it looked like clear
sailing, Dizzy went up to Sarasota to
play golf and found the sums at the
end Of the round were In the COS,
instead of the lower sos the way they
used to be.
So he fixed that up by junking his
old bag of clubs and buying himself
a whole new outfit. He needed the
truck then to carry them-there even
were cleeks and battles and tools like
that.
