This Sporting World
A Mon end His Dogs
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Being such q nice afternoon, and all that, U. s. Army Sergeant Chick Carney and I took a ride out Wa tertown way yesterday, with the express purpose of stopping off at Jack Calo's locally famous NINE TEENTH HOLE for a bite and a look at his golf range, which he has conducted for seven or eight years. Over a cup or two of fine coffee and DAGWOOD sandwich, we got to blabblng about this, that and the other. Outside was Q nice Irish Setter, RUSTY, by name. In- side was a Sharp-looking terrier, whose long curly hair made you know. almost without asking, that he answered to the call of RAGS, Rusty and Rags-quite pair of canineS, believe you me. If their master Is away out near the 250 yard marker, looking for OIL or golf balls. Rusty will bark to him continuously, if anyone gets with in a niblick shot of Calo's lunch bar, until the boss comes in to see what the score is.
 Looking at Rags, I happened
 to inquire, innocently enough:
 'Is he a TRAINED dog?" An
 swering the question by action,
 rather than words, Jack opened
 the door, motio1ied to the dog, who never took his eyes off
 Carney or me, and we went
 outside. A railroad track is 300
 yards away, through a field,
 and q train goes past Cabs
 place every afternoon. Rags sat
 around a bit, then pricked up
 his ears and looked up the
 track. In moment, the engine
 and three or four cars came
 along, whistle blowing. The
 dog got set, started to run, laid
 his ears back and for terrier
 went through that field like 8
 JACKRABBIT, until he came
 abreast of the train, then the
 dog turned at right angles,
 running down the track, bark
 ing like all get-out at the train,
 the engine and the engineer.
 About ten minutes later, RAGS
 was back, puffing a bit, but
 with . happy gleam in his dark
 eyes, as he looked at his master,
 who finally answered my ques-
 ton with this: ''Yes, he is 8
 TRAINED dog. He harks at
 that train every afternoon, after
 he catches up with it."
 (Ed Note: l was afraid to ask
 Jack what he FED the dog,
 for he might say CALO)

 The genial Hillman, one of the oldest college track coaches in the country, started at Hanover in 1909. Since then he has coached Dart mouth to 314 59-70 points in the championship meets. The Green failed only twice in the past 34 meets, to finish among the scorer. Tn 1888 and again in 194O Dart mouth failed to score, but these two years are the only hlots on the es- cutcheon of the college since Hill- man took charge of track.
 Three times. in 1918, 1920 and 1921, Dartmouth finished in third position in the championships, and in 1914. was in fourth place. In 1918 the Green scored its greatest num- Der of points, 26.

Il liberal donor to worthy causes

way, having had to work his way
through school along with his
nationally famous brother, DR..
John w. Lawlah, superintendent

ington, ID. C. He has civic pride
and has worked in his own way
to make Pine Bluff the type Of
place that would satisfy the cul-
ture which has been built up in
him. He Is the owner Of Pine
Bluffs most beautiful home
