Not all spaniel enthusiasts know
that the first foot" to step on
Plymouth Rock was that of a
spaniel, one of two dogs which came
over In the MayfoWer. The matiff
followed with his owner, but the
quick-moving spaniel, PLUCK" ran
ahead and won an honor he did not
understand. AS the mastiff is the
ancestor of our modern bulldog, the
two breeds thus have a similar
claim to fame, so it is appropriate
that the Capital City Cocker Club
and the Washington Bulldog Club
chose the same day, next Saturday,
for their fall puppy matches.
The bulldog event will be held
outdoors IN the afternoon. Puppies
up to IL months of age may enter
at 25-cents per pup. General admls-
sion will be 25-centS. Ed Mclean,
of Kensington, Md, will sort out
the baby sourmugs. The match
will be held at the home of Mr.. ana
Mrs. James A. Allen, Mclean, Va.
To get there, take Lee Highway 10
Old Dominion drive and turn right
on the drive to the sign marking
the spot. Judging will start at
$3.50 pm, and there will be a re-
freshment table on the grounds.
John G.. Turnbull, of Arlington, is
chairman of the committee.
The cocker match will be an eve
ming one, entries being accepted
from 6 pm. on, and judging starting
promptly at 8. The place is the
Silver Spring Armory, and the
judge, Leo Murphy. There will be
all regular puppy classes, plus limit
and open for older dogs. Children's
handling classes, for boys and girls
under 10 and between 10 and Is, will
be Judged by Dorsey Tyson, of Balti-
more. Best in show will receive a
combination radio and phonograph,

refreshment stand and other
attractions. Admission will be So

dogge, again describing him as a
large, stubborn and fierce dog. The
first known reference to him by a
name approximately like his pres
ent one was made in 1851, when it
was written as bulldog. This was
the time when bull and bear batting
were the national sport, and the
bulldog was the English equivalent
of the Spanish bullf1ghter.
Strong Dog Required.
At that time the bull was sent
into the ring with horns covered or
sawed off. at the tip and tethered
to a long rope. The bulldog baited
him by grabbing the ears and
throwing him to the ground. In
order to throw a bull, the dog had
to be both large and strong, and
consequently was bred to weigh be-
tween 80 and 100 pounds. Later,
batting the bull by the nose and
hanging on until the bull was ex-
hausted came to be the accepted
method of bull batting. For this
form of torture, smaller, lighter,
more agile dogs were bred. And
for this form of bull batting, dogs
were bred with noses SO placed that
they could breathe while hanging
on to the bull by their wide, ex-
cessively developed teeth and jaws.
When bull batting waned as a
national pastime, those who had
formerly enjoyed this sport took up
the even more cruel pastime of dog
fighting, and the bulldog naturally
succeeded to this sport. In 1917
Cooper painted a picture of Crib
and Rosa, two famous fighting bull
dogs of the period, which show the
type of the time and its similarity
to the later bull terrier which sue
ceeded the bulldog as a fighting
machine.
In 1882 dog fighting was officially
outlawed in England, but as in this
country, continued to exist sub rosa
One of the earliest known breeders
of pure-bred bulldogs was Ben
White, who bred the dogs princi-
pally for fighting. When he died,
his business was left to Bill George,
who continued breeding bulldogs for
pets, and took advantage of the

Hobbies and Lobbyists
News of Activities Here and Nearby
By Edmond Henderer.

A hobby which has gained a con-
siderable following of late is that
of collecting book matches and
covers. Most people save only the
covers, but some prefer the complete
book, matches and all. Among the
foremost of the latter group is John
L. Andrews, 1913 Eighteenth street
NE. Mr.. Andrews has been collect
ing match books for about four
years and has amassed the as
tonishing total of 10000 books.
To me, 1t Is always interesting to
inquire how a person started his
hobby. In Mr.. Andrews case, the
story began when he lost a con-
siderable sum of money. He had
no job, no money and family to
support. With true American spirit,
he started hunting for work. The
only thing he could find was a job
which required him to travel about
the country. 1t was not congenial
job, but at least they could eat, so
he took 1t. However. he needed
| something to occupy his spare time
an antidote for a dull day. One
| day, Mrs. Andrews brought him
from the store one of these giant
match books. He remarked that one
was not enough and asked why she
didn't bring lot. The next day
Mrs. Andrews gave him a handful
and he was launched on a hobby.
Mr. Andrews now is employed by
a local laundry, and the match
collection has grown to what may
we'll be one of the largest groups
of complete books in the country
Mr. Andrews was to have been on
the Hobby Lobby radio program but
an unfortunate circumstance pre-
vented his appearance.
Although both Mr.. and Mrs. All
drews said 1t is his hobby, it is Mi
Andrews who does most of the foot
work in acquiring the difficult ones
Her stories of how the books are
secured are quite entertaining. For
example. match book from an ex-
elusive dress shop chain was OBJ
| tanned only after four trials IN three
different cities. That took per-
sistence. The owner of a delica-
lessen said, You'll have to buy
something to get one" On the
other extreme, there are people who
are glad to contribute to a collec-
tion.
There are many varieties of book
| match. The main distinction is
probably size, and the second,
whether or not the matches them
selves have anything printed on
them. Checking these two features,
it is possible to identify IA distinct
classes of match book, and there are
many minor variations and trick
types. A good many of what we
/ would consider trick" matches are
foreign make. For example, in the
Andrews collection there are some
German matches with very large

entries. In the early shows, classes
were divided by weight, with the
lightweight classes limited to dogs
under II pounds, a weight that would
put the dog almost into the toy class
eS now.
One of the best of the early i'm
ports to this country was Oh. Rod
ney Stone, whelped in 1897, and sold
for a reputed price of 1000 pounds.
In 1918, Oh. Failsworth White
Knight was one of the greatest bull
dogs to come to this country, Oh.
Dunscar Craftsman was considered
the greatest bulldog sire of all time.
English Standards.
In England there are two ac-
cepted standards for the bulldog;
that of the allied bulldog clubs,
however, has the greatest following.
This club divides the standard in
three parts and allots a total of 300
points 10 the whole, divided as fol-
lows: general appearance-6o, head
-130, and body-110 But which,
ever standard is taken under con-
sideration, the accompanying photo
graph of Ch. Dour Daiquiri shows
what the sourmug should look like.
Daiquiri is owned by Carlos Henri
quez who has piloted this dog to an
almost ecord-breaking number of
best of breeds, 81, many first in
groups, an unusual honor for this
breed and many other impressive
wins. He is the only bulldog to have
won the Thornley, Martin Perpetual
Trophy three consecutive times.
Dour Daiquiri has the character
istic bulldog head with wide, well
padded jaw; tremendous upturn;
deep wrinkle; broad, black nose;
capacious skull; highset ears and
characteristic expression. His short
neck, broad, deep shoulders and
short, strong forelegs give him
necessary bulldog stability in front,
and his lighter, longer hind legs
and reached back give him the
necessary agility behind. And
withal, he has the appearance of a
kind, equable, resolut, courageous,
pacific and dignified dog, all of
which are called for in the standard
of the bulldog.

Other oddities are books with

little wooden golf tees thrust through

An unusual match book in this
collection is one advertising a COL
lege dance. 1t gives the dance pro-
gram, date, orchestra, committee,
and, on each match the number
| of the dance and a space for the
partners name.
Mr.. Andrew paints the small
striking portion on the outside of

panel contains the chemically active
portion of the match. When re-
questing books to be sent through

closes small piece of asbestos

in. This is required by postal regu-

Mr.. Andrews keeps most of his
collection in series of large golf
club boxes. These boxes are big
enough to hold over 1000 match
covers apiece, and the depth is just
right to accommodate the height of
a regular match book.
- This hobby has become so popular
that certain restaurant here con-
ducts a free match book exchange
for collectors. A case full of books
Is on display, and the lobbyists may
take any they like by leaving others
in trade.
So far as we know, there is no
club of match cover collectors in
Washington, and Mr. Andrews
would like to have any one inter-
ested in such an organization get in
touch with him. His phone number
is Atlantic 72l9.
