A Dogs Life
By r. r. TAYNTON.

The field trial is an Increasingly
popular branch OF the sport of dog
showing. From now on there are
one or more field trials scheduled for
every week end Of the fall and winter
Some Of the larger ones take two or
three days, but most of them Just an
afternoon. There are trials for set
tiers and pointers, different types of
spaniels, beagles. retrievers, and even
dachshund, with a growing demand
for field trials for poodles, which, In
Europe. are extensively shot over.
While there are not as many field
trial dogs in the country as there
are bench dogs, the field trial dogs
are more carefully and thoroughly
trained than are their brethren Of
the bench.
Condition in a field dog Is
different matter from condition
In the bench specimen.
While what passes for show condi-

ton IN the bench dog may be nothing
more than layer of fat over the
ribs and highly polished. voluminous
coat, in the field dog, as in the athlete,
there must be not an ounce Of su-
pernuous fat. The flesh must be hard
and firm and the muscles must be
supple and ready to react with trigger
like speed. The shine on the coat
must come from within and be a
reflection of the well being of the dog
The shape Of the haircut or the length
OF the feather makes not an iota of
adherence in the final outcome.
At some of the larger field trials
for pointers and settlers the gallery
follows the dogs on horseback, but
at the smaller fixtures. particularly
for the more slowly moving dogs. the
gallery goes afoct. In effect, a field
trial is good workout for dogs,
handlers, judges and spectators.
A Real Doggy Kennel.
Kenneling, as has been said before,
Is favorite diversion Of the doggy
minded. A recent visit to the new
Adlea Kennels Of the Cy Woolners at
washington Grove. Md, was revela-
ton of what the kennel visitor may
sometimes see. This institution should
be paradise for the gadget-minded
pooch.
1t Is as full Of push buttons
and pull chains, do-funnies and
vhatjamajiggers as the ingenuity
of kennel architect could de-
wise.
There is hot and cold water on tap,
indoor exercise runs as well as outdoor
ones connecting with each pen, a
canine swimming pool in process of
construction. electric hair dryers, and
anything else you can think Of The
place Is tastefully decorated in white
and green with maple furniture in the
little office. A particularly attractive
feature Of the kennel is q number Of
framed portraits Of the Woolners' wire
hair puppies by !. George.
A visit to another kennel provided a
strong contrast. At this institution
we found, indeed. no kennels at all.
There was just q good-sized, rather
muddy yard with q smallish, but
weather-tight building in the rear
which obviously served merely as
sleeping quarters for the dogs. But
what dogs? There are only about a
dozen grown settlers left in this estab-
lishment which has been famous for
settlers in this locality for almost half
a century. The dozen contained a
number of young bitches, one or two
young dogs, and . couple Of cham
pions which are the peer Of almost
any anywhere.

game" lucky bounces, drives that
20 Just an inch or a step out of
fielder's reach. What we are try
ING to eliminate is the thing that
happens when a batter hits only "a
piece of the ball." as they say, in
stead of connecting squarely.
Sometimes it's one of those lazy
Founders that get to the outfield
because the smoothness of the ball
won't let the infield grass or clay
take hold of it, Sometimes it's a
Ipop fly just out Of an infielder's
reach. Sometimes it's even a home
run or extra base hit in parks where
he stands or fences are not too far
from home plate.
Half-Hits Fail
THE National Leaue ball won't
irayel that fast or that far when
it is only half-hit. The thicker
cover and heavier seam also make
more friction when it strikes the
ground so that it won't slither on
through the grass like billiard
ball If it's only half-hit--say on
the very end of the bat, or the
handle-some fielder will get fair
sporting chance to field it every
time m Me1
In the air, those half-hit drives
won't travel as far next year as
they did with the ball in use in
both major leagues the past four
years. Squarely hit drives will
have just as good chance to be hom-
ers as with the old ball. The only
change the new ball will make in
! National League home run Stats
tics is the elimination of fluky hom-
ers 'unearned home runs You
might call them"

For the fans of the nation, an

The donors are the National and
