Austral is the most noted tennis eritic of Australasia and is generally regarded as the mouthpiece of the Australasian Association. Says he “The success of the new system of Seeding the draw has been 8o pronounced that it surely must be adopted by all countries. Its result has been that the weaker players have had a good game against play- ers of their own class for a round or two and then better and still better players have met up to the finish. No one has had to play an exhaust- ing match against a_champion one ! day and then, if he has won, meet a player the next day who has had an easy run. The best players meet only when they have all been tuned up for the occasion. Austral’'s commént undoubtedly is based on observations of the Aus- tralian Davis cup players in this country last summer. The comment 18 not quite accurate in that the weaker players do not necessarily meet others of their own class in the early rounds. They'are quite as likely to be drawn against the best players, who, alone, are given the selected positions. Terminal bowling at a sensational rate since the season, finally has arrived at the top after a duckpin aggregation, the Colonials. In their match last week, the Terminals swept the board, beating the Colonials, 560, 583 and 5335 to 538, 547 and 536. This triumph put the Terminals in iront and dropped the place behind the Regulars. Al Works was the big noise of the Terminals. He slammed the little maples for a corking game of 143 and went on to a set of 377. Charlie Ben- son set the pace for the Colonials with i\ set of 354. In has last game, Ben- on shot a triple-header for a 30| ount in the tenth frame. Al Welsh, | inother Colonial, was right at Ben-| Son’s heels with a set of 353. i | Goodfellows of the District league have been strengthened and will bear watching from now on. They have been holding a lowly position In the cireuit, but with the new blood may spring a few surprises. Lanman Engraving Company has entered the Typothetae League, taking tie place of the Gibson Brothers quint. which forfeited its franchise. From all reports, Lanman has a strong team and hopes to overcome the handicap of starting at the bottom of the Hst, ihe position left them by the Gibsons. A meost successful season is being enjoyed by the Typotheate League. A merry battle is being waged for top onors and form reversals are adding interest to the fight. At the present time, the Columbian Printing Company is out in_front. with Judd & Det- Weller and Ransdell tied for second pla National Capital Press, last Vears pemnant winner, is struggling to retain seventh place. _Ne records were broken during the past week in the Washington Ladies’ League, the bowlers seeming content io rest upon laurels earned in the week before, but some thrilling matches are looked for within the next six days.

There is something wrong with the sportsmanship that thinks only of catching and never of planting. 1 am with you in this, hook, line, rod, reel and typewriter. | Seventy years ago thirty black bass lof less than a foot in length were iplanted in the upper Potomac and its ytributaries. Previous to that intro- duction the black bass did not inhabit those waters. The bass, either large or small mouth, in addition to its merits as a game and food fish and being =0 hardy and free from disease, gives more certain and abundant r turns than any other game fish. Several years after stocking the upper Potomac both species of black bass were successfully planted in the waters of the middle states and New England, and still later in the waters of the Pacific slope. and in all of these waters, separated by the width of a continent, they increased and multi-| { plied. But poilution of our streams and the “fish hog." more numerous| than the “hog fish,”” have been stead- ily depleting these inland waters until today an angler may sit, either in his Dboat or along the banks of a stream, without getting even a strike. This is especially true in the waters of the Potomac, where these gamesters were first planted. One day an angler may succeed in getting a fairly good string _and the next day return empty-handed. Stocking a stream or lake.is nei- ther expensive nor difficult. There are hundreds of such places suitable for the purpose and the fry can be ob- tained. All one has to do is to write to the Department of Commerce, bu- reau of fisherles, for an application blank, and to fill out said blank and iforward it to his senator or repre- sentative in Congress for indorsement. Upon indorsement, which is seldom re- fused, the bureau of fisheries will de- liver the fry. at-the applicant’s near- |est railroad station, free of expemse.

AUSTRALIA UNEARTHS SUCCESSOR TO DARCY SYDNEY, Australia, November 18.— | Probably the biggest discovery of the wear in Australlan boxing flelds is Harry Collina, a young ex-blacksmith from Newcastle, who in every way promises to be Les Daroy’s successor.

A number of bitches have been recently bred to this dog, who is a | King. Firetraps Lady, Mrs. R. C. Birne Boston terrier brood bitch, was killed last Sunday in a fight with one of her kennel mates. As is the case with many good breeding dogs, she was not a show specimen, but leaves behind her a record of rearing puppies strong in constitution and bearing the cor- rect Boston terrier markings. The value of such an animal can be appre- ciated by any one familiar with the breed, since not one bitch in ten can successfully rear a litter of puppies. Rap's The pointer brood bitch, Betty. formerly owned by th Pine Kennels at Kensington, Md., is now the dam of four prominent field- trial winners, these being Burger's | Johanna, winner of the Texas trial Trimble’s Mister Jim, winner of the seventeenth American fleld futurity; Trimble's Frank and Tidewater John. which stamps her as one of the lea ing producing - bitches of today. Frank A. Kerr reports the breed. ing of A. P. Woodson's bitch, Peggy and D. N. Burnham's bitch to his Alredale stud dog, Spee Dee Bozo. J. 'E. Walter's Airedale, Nancy Brian, has just whelped a litter of nine puppies to Dr. D. E. Bucking- iham's Ch. Valley Forge Volcans Nancy by Ch. Kootenai Chinook, the ~only American-bred Airedale who ever gained his title abroad. These puppies should ap- peal strongly -to those looking for breeding stock. as they show eighteen champions in five generations of their pedigree. Evidence that personal appeal and feeling are not things of the past is brought out by the following story: A night watchman in one of the large stores of the city came into the office of a local veterinarian with his dog. a collie. which had been struck by an automobile. He asked the nature of his dog’s allment, and was told that it had & broken’ hip in_addition to a case of distemper. When told that the necessary treatment would require about two weeks. and ethat recovery then was doubtful, he left orders for the dog to be destroyed. explaining that he lived on the top floor of a rooming house. that he could not keep a sick dog there, and tkat he could not afford to have it treated in a dog hospital. Noting the man’s sorrow at parting with his pet, the veterinarian kept the dog, gave it the necessary treatment, and, now has effected a ' completo recovery. The men had asked that he be noti- fled in case the veterinarian ever came across a dog of that breed which needed a good home, and he was_advised yesterday to come by the office and see a collie which might interest him. The_night watchman at M. Brooks & Co.s, 1109 G street northwest will be @ad to mive the mame of the velerinurian to interested parties. | d: | | Double Cross product of line-breeding to Ch.

Heavy showers during the matinee deadened the track con- siderably, but failed to dampen the | enthusiasm of the large crowd.

The Others, with the excep- tion of Irish Kiss, which was left at the post. were close up, during the run around the initial curve. Falr Phantom Takes Le: Fair Phantom was full of run and she led the party a merry chase down the backstretch. Then Schuttinger 80 busy. As the race drew Into the serious stages, he called upon Lucky Hour and the son of Hourless rapidly picked up the leader. On the turn for home he opencd up the lead which won for him, but a stiff stretch duel during which Fair Phantom hung o: with ~ fine "~ determination, ensued. Bunga Buck, always well up, finished fastest of all and was wearing the leaders down as the end came. Lucky Hour reached the wire first, while the others were strung out. Lucky Hour, the favorite, paying $5.40, ran the distance over the &low track in 1:49 4-5, which is more than three seconds behind the track rec-- ord established by Harris Shaw. Th-~ race was worth $3.800 to the winner, £1,000 to the second, $500 to the thirc, and $230 to the fourth. Bowie Results FIRST RACE. claiming. -sear- I’I‘X !url«u{l—llnfe‘.
