time, Secretary Of Agriculture WAL
lace. through DR.. Eichler, who then
was employed by the Department Of
Agriculture. became interested in the
problem Of developing a herding dog
adapted to the climatic and range con-
ditions in this country.
Four Pull sheep dogs were imported
from DR.. Eichler's native Hungary,
and since then efforts have been made
to establish kennel of sufficient size
to allow breeding and croSs-breeding
experiments to be carried on. The aim
Of the experiments is to perpetuate the
herding instinct of the Pull sheep dog
with physical characteristics of coat,
size and stamina adapted to this
country.
The Pull sheepdog as bred in Hun
gary is in general outline not unlike
the Old English sheepdog, but is much
smaller, standing only IS to 20 inches
at the shoulder. The coat is black or
very dark grizzled, with sometimes a
white star on the chest. It's texture is
unusually fine and dense, more like the
wool of caracul sheep than that of
. dog.
DR.. Speelman, who Is In
charge Of the breeding expert
ments, claims great intelligence
and instructability for his little
proteges.
The world Is full of both cross
BREEDS and pure-bred sheep dogs of
various sizes, shapes, coats and adap-
liability, yet any experiments under
the careful supervision of scientific
experts is bound to have beneficial
effect on dog breeding.
Carefully controlled and noted ex-
periments in which all the factors
are known, and the results of which
are published, are certain to contain
many lessons for the thoughtful
breeder.
IT HAS taken the merry little
cocker" a long time to get there,
but he is at the top now. According

THERES been q lot OF kidding
around Columbia about the
score made by Fred Mcleod
i at swampscott, Mass. last
Sunday, when the Columbia pro
played the little hotel course in
l04 strokes for SO holes.
Most of the kidding has centered
around the length Of the layout
and the fact that Walter Skinker
played in the exhibition MATCH"
with his friends doing the ribbing.
william Wade Hinshaw, who
plays at Columbia during the
Spring and Fall, writes us about the
course as follows:
"The length of the course Is ap-
proximately a thousand yards, and
no wooden clubs are permitted to
be used on it. The longest hole is
158 yards, and the greens are very
small, many Of them not over 10
feet wide and 20 to 80 feet long.

CONSEQUENTLY, some OF the or
CARNATIONS sponsoring open
tournaments are fathering a national
association Of sponsors, the main pur-
pose of which will be offering ap-
pearance money to q selected number
of stars. The payment of appearance
money was quite customary in the
days when tournament golf was get
ting its start, but, through the rougher
years Of the depression, it was stop
ped and every player had to gamble
on his own skill to keep the ledger
balanced. Some of the more cautious
stars refused to take that chance,
with a result that, for the last couple
of seasons, the California tournaments
in particular have not attracted all
star fields.
The thought behind the proposed
sponsors organization is to provide
appearance funds for a group of Sc
lected stars, including such shooters
as Harry Cooper, KY Laffoon, Byron
Nelson, Paul Runyan and others Of
that CALDER. Oldsters travelling on
past performances will not be in
cluded, and Walter Hagen seems to be
the only real veteran included on the
preferred list. With the exception of
the few stars who have attractive
winter club positions, the offer Of ap-
pearance money would revive the in
terest of the outstanding professionals
and insure well balanced fields in all
competitions.

~HICAGO, August 28.-The golf

Quoted by numerous junior

played itself out of the bunkers. At
tendance at the $4,000 ST. Paul open
1t was $4,000 in the three-chicken,
two-car garage days-was so good
this Summer that the prize money
may be boosted toward the 10-grand
level for next year. tournaments in
the Pacific Northwest-where the
business recently was revived-also
made good showing at the gate, and
the same story is heard from other
sectors.
There no longer Is any shortage OF
competitions for the slick-haired
journeyman professionals; Mr.. Robert
E. Harlow has taken care of that.
Complaints are on the side of the
sponsors, who are finding it difficult
always to get fields worthy of their
endeavors. Since the slick-haired
journeymen professionals are free
agents, there is no way to coerce them
into attendance with anything other
than money; particularly in the Sum-
mer when club attachments frequently
interfere with tournament play.
