Dog’s Life| Revolutionists Stop Racing; Promoters Must Finance Feeding of 303 Dogs Panama City, Feb. 5.—(4#)—If any-' body wants to know if dogs can eat, ask 16 American greyhound owner: who brought their racers to Panama { them run a race yet.

The season was set to open Jan. 3 but the revolutionists got busy Jan. 2 and things had to be postponed. A new government was born and thi new authorities decided that there would be no racing at all. An Offi- cial statement pointed out that some- body always loses and since the win- ners never take care of their winnings it would be bad economics to permit the races. It would not be so bad if there were not so many dogs, but there are 303. “You know,” Sherlock commented, “it takes about fifty cents a day to feed each dog and we have been do- | ing that for several weeks. ‘The finances of the party have reached such a low ebb that one sports writer today started a collec-; tion for the deg boys. Sherlock com- ments that they obviously can’t eat their dogs, which are worth from $300 to $1,500 each. a On top of everything the owncrs— if they had the funds—can’t take the dogs back from where they came. The dogs have shed their coats and if they went back to Chicago, Mineola, St. Louis and their other places of residence now they would catch cold and die. |BABE RUTH NOT WORRIED _ OVER HEAVIER BASEBALL Will Scrutinize of Hansen jsecretary of the racing association Wy, B, A.

In fact. likes the idea. ‘Say, you can make that ball all cover and let the stitches stick out like grapevines and T'll still hit it,”; was the Babe's opinion on the recent changes in the pellet. “I hit that ball when it was said to be dead, back in 1918 and 1919, and I sailed a lot of those ‘dead’ balls a lot of feet. “The ball will go if it's hit, The good thing about the new arrange- ment is that a lot of poorly hit balls won't go so far. There won't be the percentage of fluke homers there has been.” _New Type Baseball Disappoints Bush Chicago. Feb. 4?)—Most major league pitchers are looking forward to using the recently adopted “dead- er” baseball. but Guy Bush, Cub right hander, is less concerned about throw- ing the ball. than hitting it. Bush, who ‘fancies himsclf as a batsman, Thursday had no time for ciscussing the possible advantages to hurlers. His most earnest comment was: “Just when I was getting all set for a big year with the stick, they make @ change in the ball to help out pitchers.” | OUR BOARDING HOUSE By Ahern UNCLE AMOS «US KIDS WAVE A SKI-HILL DUMP OVER IN OF MCFADDLES GARAGE, AN?
