POPE. Members of the National Capital Field Trial Club are looking forward with great interest to the approach- ing fourth annual puppy stake to be run off on March 25 at Bradley Hills. An attractive entry list is looked for as interest is keen. This event will give an opportunity for the members to discover material with which they may do big things in the more fm- | portant competitions. Frank and Walter Kidwell have bred a number of pointers from which they hope to secure two or three upstanding pups. In the early part of the season the Kidwell dogs made a very favorable showing i the trials. Mathew Trimble of Ken sington, Md., also succeeded with a couple of his dogs and is now looking forward to some winners out of a ltter of splended pups by Great Is- land Devil, the sire of Belle the Devil, this season's derby echampfon. Frank Burroughs, who owns the splendid setter Master Ben, and Wil- liam Riggs, the Handler of Rockville, probably will have some entries. Thomas P. Baldwin and Ford Young have generously given their services this season in judging field trials for nearby clubs. Two nore huve heen added to the ranks of the shepherd fanciers in Mr. and Mrs. E. J.

Interest xhown by the members in recent meetings of the Washington Kennel Club indicates that the show to be held in the Riding and Hunt Club will be one of the most success- ful ever held in Washington. Prizes antl money are being donated gener- and members also are doing their bit, giving specials to their par- ticular breeds. The selection of judges has been one of the most dif- ficult problems to solve, but with the assistance of the capable superin- tendent of shows, George Foley, the list has gone in to the American Ken- nel Club for its approval. The American Kennel Club is get- ting very strict as to who shall be allowed to judge, and the probable list of the judges will not be pub- lished until it is returned O.K'd. ¥. E. Bechmann, a publisher of a dog magazine, from Battle Creek, Mich,, made a round of the kennels in Washington and its vicinity after the Baltimore show. WASHINGTON AND LEE MATMEN DEFEAT ARMY and =a Henry D. Miller, who held down the professional berth at Rock Creek Park last year and now f engaged in teaching elbows to stay close to golfers’ sides in his school at 1710 Pennsylvania Avenue, will take charge at Beaver Dam as soon as the season oper in carnest. Beach has been working along the same lines as Miller this Winer, giving golf lessons at the indoor school at a department store. Both men are well known to Capi- tal golfers. They have been promi- nent in professional golf affairs about the city for several years, Beach as a player and Miller as an adminis- trator. Beach is one of the youngest golf professionals in the United States to hold down such an important berth. Only & few years ago he was a caddie at the Washington Golf and Country Club. Ranked as one of the best cad- dies ever at the Virginia organization player with ever-increasing skill, Beach went to the Chevy Clase Club with Orrin A. Terry. He re- mained with Terry for two years and then went to Bivning Tree, to serve as assistant to Wilfred Thomson. Early last year, branching out for himself, Beach became allied with the Blairmont Country Club of Altoona, Pa. Last Winter he was allied with a golf school on F street, and this Winter has held down a professional instructor's berth in a department store. A fine player, one of the leading professional golfers about Washing- ton, Beach should do well at Burning Tree. Miller is a professional of long ex- perience, starting at the Pitteburgh Golf Club in 1889, and later going to ago and was one of the professionals at East Potomac Park. Two years ago, when Rock Creek Park —was opened, the golf concessions were awarded to Miller, who made him- self popular at the public course by his attention to details and for his teaching ability. Miller left Rock Creek Park when the season closed a few months ago and opened his golf school. He now has Frank Hartig and K. CUff Mc- Kimmie as his assistants.

Not only is he brilliant in his performances in his specialty. but he Is the type of man it is a pleasure to know. Quiet and unassuming, Marsters at the same time possesses the polse and confidence that go with conscious ability. University of Maryland has two pitchers who should not have much difficelty holding their own in col- lege ba. e ball during the coming sea- son. They are Nihiser and Schrider, the former a right-hander and the latter a southpaw. Schrider is about s capable a hurler 1o usually finds in_college ball. while Nihiser also is far better than the average. Last year Nihiser was not eligible be- cause of scholastic difficult bat now is in good standing.

This drilling will make him nimble on his feet and enable him to keep on his toes. A backsiop has to move around fast behind the plate.

He should prac- tige touching the floor with his fingers while holding his knees stiff. Such work tends to keep unnecessary fat off the waist line. The catcher should keep as ‘trim around the midriff as a pitcher. Wear comfortable shoes and keep A catcher move around as spry as he if his feet bother him. No matter how powerful his legs may be, they will avail him little if he has any bothersome foot ailment. While you are doimg preliminary training work to strengthen the legs and stomach muscles and make the body strong and supple you would do well to take light throwing' practice. Quickness and accuracy are the things to strive for. Be sure your arm feels strong before you cut loose. You will have to learn how to shift vour feet fast, so as to be in a posi- tion' to throw to get a base-runner. Likewise you will have to school vourself in getting the ball away quickly and at the same time make an accurato peg. This is a combina- tion that has to go together or you will miss your man by slowness or a bad throw. A young catcher will find it a good can’t i plan to de his throwing practice in batting drill, once he has worked his loxs in condition and his arm has been fticiently 1 ned up. It isn't very ifficult for a catcher in good shape to throw to the bases with ng one on the paths and no batter at the plate. similar to those which arise in an actual game. Let the pitcher work on the batter. Then throw to the bases to get vour man. You will do well at first to have the base-runner tell you when he is going down. You are not so likely to hurry your pegs and thus will acquire accurac: You will be surprised how much this system of training will help you in shifting and accurate pegging. It will train the eve, help your timing of throws and improve your judgment of distance. Once these are acquired you will be able to cut loose and your pegging will become somewhat auto- matic. Don't confine your throwing largely to second base in practice | work. Many youngsters do that, over- looking the fact that they are also called upon to throw to first and third in an actual contset. Learn to peg to all the bases. If you can pick & run- ner off first he isn’t going to get in a position to score. If you snuff a man out at third a possible run is cut off right there. Train yourself so that you don’t waste any motion with your arm. A catcher has to learn to make a snap throw. He can’t wind up befors he lets the ball go. The main thing is to get -the ball away from the best throwing position possible. Of course, in order to be properly set for a peg you have to be fast on your feet. Once you find yourself in good physical condition be sure to Keep that way. The task won't be so hard after the strenudus preliminary work. ‘Watch your appetite. Don’t let it run away with you. You'll need plenty of good, wholesome food if you are play- ing base ball regularly, but don't overstuff. You have to keep trim and supple You arc to be a sueccessful catcher.
