for future breeding. Heretofore,
Europes show dogs have been
brought into this country mainly
for show purposes and to add
prestige to the importing kennels.
Now the emphasis is mainly on
breeding and preservation of worth
while characteristics.
American Breeding Advances.
For the last decade America has
been forging to the front as a dog
breeding country. At 66 of the 104
all-breed shows held in the first
half of 1889 American-breds went to
best in show. British dogs won 10
times, German-bred dogs won II
times and Canadian-breds won twice.
This means that American
breeders wisely have utilized
the imports of previous years.
With the added impetus of an
influx of new blood thsi coun-
try should be invincible.
Serious breeders are turning more
and more to the American Kennel
Club Library, which contains hun.
dreds of books on dogs of every
country, stud books of most of the
foreign nations which recognize
pure-bred dogs, complete files of
American stud books, and pictures
of many of the best dogs of every
breed and country. These pictures
are especially valuable in planning
and matings, for they show the
strong points and the weaknesses Of

St. Ambrose's First Loss

NEW YORK, Sept. 26-In a week
or two the football season may fol-
low its customary course with no
more than the usual number of up
sets, but from the way things have
gone so far it may be hard to find
any unbeaten grid teams when the
1899 campaign ends.
There were only IS undefeated

lar season last fall Three of those
were knocked off in post season
bowl" games. Perhaps twice as
many came through with only ties
to mar their records.

This season the schedules look
harder. Because of the increased
popularity of passing and the fact
that even little teams are acting

The
SP0RTLIGHT
Cards Need Miracle
To Overcome Reds
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

NEW YORK, Sept. 26 N.A.N.A)
The long six weeks pursuit race
Of Ray Blades and his fast-movine
Cardinals now finds them needing
q virtual miracle. They face 9
four-game series with Cincinnati's
Reds, and they need practically q
clean sweep, with victories over both
Bucky Walters and Paul Derringer
to have a look-in as faint as the
first tint of early dawn.
Walters and Derringer have been
the two all-star pitchers of the
year. With the majority of Bill
McKechnie's staff in full retreat
these two stepped in and ended
the rout. There was one stretch
of more than two weeks where
Walters and Derringer had to han
die the situation minus any help
II either had stumbled or skidded
at any start, there's no guessing
what might have happened. This
pair, plus Bill McKechnie, checked
near collapse in the nick of time
The fast-moving Cardinals now
need a clean sweep of a four
game series. While anything can
happen-you can name your own
odds here, with Walters and Der
ringer waiting in the road.
loyden and Crowley Covering
Lots Of Grid Territory
It is a question whether Elmer
Layden of Notre Dame or Jimmy
Crowley of Fordham is covering
more football territory this fall.
Layden and Notre Dame have
to look after Purdue and North
western, two of the strong teams
from the Midwest, plus Iowa
Georgia Tech from the South
Carnegie Tech, Army and Navy
from the East-Southern Methodist
from the Southwest-and Southern
California from the Pacific Coast
Crowley and Fordham must
handle Alabama and Tulane from
Wiz 0ouI11- AtlSUu1 Sll dllU IN. I. ~
from the East-Indiana from the
Midwest-Rice from the South
west-and st. Mary's from the Far
West.
Both Layden and Crowley have
fast, powerful battalions to throw
against all this terrain, but they
also have just about as much speed
and power to face on the opposing
side.
Notre Dame, facing Purdue.
Northwestern, Carnegie Tech and
Southern California, added to the
others who also are dangerous,
tackles one of the toughest sched-
ules of many years.
But Fordham isn't far away with
Alabama, Tulane, Rice and St.
Mary's who all are on the upgrade,
loaded with talent
Notre Dame and Fordham both
have exceptional backfields-fast
and experienced. 1t will be largely
a mater of line strength and suffl-
clent reserves in trying to conquer
large part of the territory from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.

Toll in Stretch Moy Help,
Not Hurt, Red Slab Aces

1T seems to me-" writes Old Timer,
that the National League is under
q big handicap each season when
the World Series starts. The Yankee
pitching staff always has a good
rest. The National League winners
are pretty tired lot. 1t will be the
same way this season with Walters
and Derringer, and Davis and War
neke worked to the limit in more
than month of hard stretch-run-
ming. This applies especially to
Walters and Derringer.
Yet I recall the case of the two
Deans, who won 49 games around
1884, who were worked to the limit
through the last week, and who then
came on to win World Series
against Detroit
Walters and Derringer have been
hard workers all year, with no
chance to rest through the last
weeks of the race. They may be a
bit tagged by World Series time, but
on the other side they may be even
more effective from the amount of
pitching they have turned in. Stall
lings worked Rudolph, Tyler and
James in turn to the finish in 1914
and this trio then whipped the Ath-
letics four straight.
So you never quite can guess
which way the wind may blow along
these lines.
