twelve-year old. who evidently had his eye on
«jje fcrappy qualities of that particular breed.

to bee by the decorations on the benches which
were the fortunate ones.
TOT CLASS IN THE RING.
The Judging yesterday v as confined largely to
the toy classes, Which might ba classed under
th* general head of "Dogs to be loved or pitied."
All of them are petted and loved, mum of them
ir.uFt be pitied, as they are handled and pre
served vith as much care as a rare hothouse
plant. There were many heartburnings among
the exhibitors, most of whom -were vromei -when
their ravored ones failed to fill the critical eyes
of the Judge, who did not appreciate their win
ning ways and only looked for quality.
The sturdy looking little Pomeranians— than
which no more attractive dogs -were benched at
(he Phorr — were easily the feature of the day.
There was a gcv>dly representation of the breed,

Short, but Stringent, Eligibility
Code Has Been Adopted.
Philadelphia, Feb. 14.— The committee on athletics
of the University of Pennsylvania abolished to-day
its old athletic eligibility code, and adopted a short
and simple one. the main provision of -which Is a
rule forbidding freshmen or any department to
compete in athletics until they have completed one
academic year of work in a satisfactory manner.
Other clauses of the code follow:
No student shall be allowed to represent the uni
versity in intercollegiate athletic contests who shall
at any time have taught or engaged In any athletic
sport for a pecuniary or other consideration, with
the exception that he may have received the amount
hy which the expenses necessarily Incurred by him
I?, taking: part ln eurh sport or contest exceeded
auroral expenses.
No student shall represent one or more universi
ties or colleges in intercollegiate athletic contests
for more than four years.
The rules regulating eligibility as formulated In
mis code shall be interpreted as representing:
merely a required minimum. No student shall be
considered eligible to represent the university In
athletics merely because he satisfies these minimum
rquirements. but it shall be the duty of the uni
versity committee on athletics to determine
vhether it Is best, all things considered, for any
particular student or for the institution that he be
permitted to become its representative In any
brunch of athletics.
The rules constituting this code were formulated
some months ago. and were sent out for criticism
to more than two thousand educational Institutions
in all parts of the country. Replies were received
from many universities, colleges and schools the
larger number commending the code and most of
the remainder approving with slight modifications
or exceptions.

NEW- YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 18. lOOfl.
BASEBALL DATES OUT.
American League Schedule 'Ap
proved Minor Rule Changes.
The American League baseball schedule for the
coming season ■was formally adopted and an
nounoed at the annual spring meeting of the league,
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, yesterday. There are
twenty-five conflicting dates with the National
League, as against twenty-three last year and forty
the year before. The National League, in session
at the Hotel Victoria, considered Its schedule but
postponed its formal adoption until to-day.
The American League schedule calls for the open-
Ing of the season in Boston on April 14, when the
Boston Americans will meet the Highlanders. It
runs to October 6. The Highlanders will open In
this city on April 17, with Boston as opponent.
The schedule, shows nine conflicting dates in Chi
capo. four in St. Louis, three In Philadelphia, six
In New- York and three In Boston.
The Joint rules committee, which met In the Bt.
James Building early in the afternoon, returned a
report to both league meetings during the day.
Some minor changes were made, for the purpose of
elucidating present rules and correcting errors.
The rules committee met again last night at the
Waldorf-Astoria, and will make a further report
to the two leagues at the meetings to-day. The
representatives of the National League on the com
mittee were Instructed that no change should be
made in the foul strike rule, and no Important
changes whatever are looked for. The committee
under the national agreement has the power to
change the rules, and their action Is subject to no
review by the main organizations*.
The report of the rules committee as received by
the two leagues was as follows:
Section 1 of Rule 4<? was amended by Inserting
after the words "according to" the words when
it disappears from the umpire view, ' and by
striking out all the section nfter the words ac
cording to" bo that the section reads: hen a
batted ball passes outside the grounds or into a stand
the umpire shall declare it foul or fair, according
to -where It disappears from the umpire s view.
Rule 2? was amended by adding to it the words
"and when the time Is so called the groundkeeper
and sufficient assistants shall be under the control
of the umpire, for th* purpose of putting the
ground In proper shape for play, tinder penalty of
forfeiture of the game by the home team," so as
to make the rule read:
The choice of Innings shall b« Riven to the rap
tain of the home club, who shall be the. sole Judge
of the fitness of the ground for beginning a gam©
after a rain, but after play has been called by the
umpire he alone shall be judge as to the fitness of
the grounds for resuming play after the cam* has
been suspended on account of rain, and when time
Is bo called the ground keeper and sufficient at
tendants shall be under the control of the umpire
for the purpose of putting" the grounds in proper
shape for play, under the penalty of forfeiture of
the game by the home team.
At the meeting? of the National League President
Ebbets of the Brooklyn club marie a report In the
matter of adopting a. uniform style of ticket
throughout the league. The report was discussed,
but nothlne was done. The league voted to pay the
6 per cent of rental for Manhattan Field. The
league will meet again to-day at noon.

Through his attorney. C. P. Rogers, Arthur F.

lished by him. and why they should not be enjoined
from expunging the *ald records from the official

NEW TROTTLXG RULES.
II'IXD SHIELD BARRED.
Messrs. Billings and Butler Sot Re
elected as Stewards.
The twenty-third biennial congress of the Na
tional Trotting Association was held yesterday
afternoon at the Murray Hill Hotel. In this
city. No less than 841 members were repre
sented, and tho attendance was made up of
prominent horsemen from all over the- country.
The result of the meeting -was a sweep. vic
tory for the "old guard." or conservative ele
ment. It was rumored that friends of C K. G.
Billings and James Butler intended to put an
opposition ticket In tho field. No opposition,
however, developed from this quarter. "When it
came to the election of stewards, however.
Messrs. Billings and Butler were both dropped
from the boards.
The entire morning: was devoted to an execu
tive session In which the credentials ot the mem
bers -were looked Into. The afternoon session
was a publlo meeting at which many new and
Important amendments to the racing rules were
adopted. The members of the rules committee
included William Russell Allen. Pittafleld. Mass.;
Horace W. Wilson. Lexington, Ky.: J. M. John
son, Calais, Me.; William H. Gocher, Hartford,
Conn.; R» J. Carter. Richmond. Va.; Colonel
Robert B. Hough. Baltimore* Md.; H. X Bain.
Poughkeepale, X. V.. and H. B. Shall. Allen
town. Pa. ' ..
Perhaps the rrmst Important rule passed at
the meeting was that pertaining to the author
ity of race- circuits of five or more tracks to
appoint stewards. That this rule would b«
passed was announced In The Tribuna last Mon
day. The rule as passed reads:
Any circuit of five or more tracks belonging
to either th« American or National association
n;ay, after incorporation, have the authority to
appoint racing: stewards, who shall have full
power over the racing at the tracks of the cir
cuit. The names of these stewards shall be sub
mitted to the presidents of the American and
National associations, and If the nominations
are agreed to by both the parent associations
they will constitute a governing body for the
circuit by which they are named, acting Jointly
for the tracks and the parent association, and
their decisions shall be binding until the close
of racing on the circuit for which they act
TVIND SHIELD IS BARRED.
The general trotting horso public will, per
haDS. take the most interest In the amendment
madft to Rule 43 by which the u?e of wind
shields is barred. This rulo now reads that In
all performances against time a pacemaker may
accompany the trotter or pacer, but shall not
run ahead of him to break the natural reststanc*
of the atmosphere.
The reason announced for passing this rule
was because experience had shown that the
wind shield aided trotters and pacers to gain
records from three to eight seconds faster than
these same horses were capable of making
under normal conditions. It uraa decided that
the practice of admitting such performances to
the records in a separate class had led to con
fusion and was also manifestly unfair to the
horses which had taken records In the regular
way.
The failure of some tracks to report to the
compilers of the official '"Year Book" has In past
years led to frequent errors In the records by
which many hors?s have been credited •with
records much faster than they could possibly
have made. Therefore. In view of these diffi
culties. It was decided to do away -with wind
shield records altogether hereafter. It was re
marked, after this rule was passed, that both
the world's championship trotting mark of
1 :5% l 2. held by Lou Dillon, and the world's
championship pacing record of 1:55^4, held by
Dan Patch, are wind shield records. So. too,
are the sensational marks made by Prince Alert
two years a?o, as well as many of the records
made and held by Major Delmar.
Some strong 1 protests were made against sev
eral of the new rules adopted, but the majority
of the congress seemed to be heartily In favor of
them and all those recommended by the rulaa
committee were passed.
"FAXE 11 RECORDS RULED AGAINST.
Another Important amendment was also made
to Rule 43. This related to the making of offi
cial records and provides that meetings where
official records are made must be advertised
in the local papers at least one week in ad
vance. There must also be two bona fide races
each day. This will tend to prevent ••fake"
record 3 like the mark which Oresceus -was sup
posed to have taker, at "Wichita, Kan., two
years ag-o, bat which was :;ot allowed by the
turf authorities.
Another important ruling was that In future
nil starting judges must be licensed. W. P.
Ijams. the president of the American Trotting
Association, is said to be the sponsor for this
rule. It is counted on to correct many of the
abuses of the trotting turf. By It all tracks
will be required to engage starting Judges ap
proved and licensed by the parent associations.
These licensed judges will then be held respon
sible to the parent association for the proper en
forcement of the rules and the correct timing
of the races. They will be exDected to report
any Irregularities and will exercise la a measure
th° functions of supervisors.
An amendment was passed •which provides
that no horse sold or bargained for after 7 p.
m. of the day preceding an engagement shall be
eligible to compete. Rule ">1 was amended to
prevent the employment In any capacity around
a racetrack or stable of a person who has been
suspended or ruled on* for any offence whatever.
Had this rule been on the books and lived up
to in the pas^ a number of the recent scandal
cases which have stirred up the trotting horse
world would not have been possible.
The most spirited contest at the late session
was over the adoption of a new rula to prevent
drivers or riders from resorting to the use of a
watch while in a race. The rule was one to be
added to Rule 28. in relation to drivers and
riders, which reads as follows:
No driver or rider shall be permitted to carry
a timing watch in a race except by consent of
the judsr^s.
H. K. Devereux, of Cleveland. Ohio, a member
of the district board, protested against It being:
adopted, declaring that it was uncalled for.
The intimation that the carrying of a watch in
a race for the purpose of cheating he said was
absurd. The owners of horses, ha further
stated, (rave much money for the training and
timing of their trotters, and if the watches were
done away with it would be hard to tell what
pace they were going 1 in the heats.
John Witty, of Canton. Ohio, differed with Mr.
Devereux in relation to the rule, and believed
it should be adopted. It did away with scientiao
rating, ha stated, and would be much better for
the turf. The rule was finally adopted, after
further argument, by a vote of 24 to 6.
Another new rule in relation to drivers and
riders which was adopted was as follows:
A driver or rider cannot be expelled from the
National Trot tins Association for the non-pay
ment of entries, except where ha is tht» nomi
nator or owner of tha horse.
Another matter that caused some discussion
was the changing of Rule 19. Section 1. to read:
"No heat shall be started in any trotting: rac»
after sunset, by solar calendar time."
It was also proposed, and adopted aftw much
argument, that where a licensed starter was not
present at a race meeting the horaa should be
given a bar Instead of a record. Some of th«
members believed this in some cases would be
an injustice, for the owners of the horses went
to much expense In having their trotters trained
to make a record. The committee dually de
cided that when a bar was given to a horse it
could be removed by proper application anil
statements of facts to the beard of review.
A nominating committee of three durir.jc the
meeting placed the following ticket in the field
as officer* of the association, which was unani
mously elected: President. P. P. Johnston, of
XjgxJ „' :. Ky.; first vice-president. Morgan G.
Buckley, of Hartford, Conn.: second vlce-pres!«
dent. X. T. Smith, of San Francisco. Th«
treasurer and eecretary will b« elected later la

for the North Polo. - For this parpen a 360-ton
steam brig will be built for him la Main* and fltta*
out in this city for a lon* Arctic cruise.
Old whalemen In New- Bedford say that it arm

Captain TUton is the man. Whan »i« left th«

But Captain Tilton has always 1 had a flaoolty Jc#
doing whatever ho set out In earnest to do, an 4
his courage and endurance succeeded In the tut' 4
of getting- the relief that the 'Tr.pr'.son^d whale*
men awaited so eagerly.
For some years Captain TUton has had ths)
North Polo project In mind, but tip to the present
time something or other has always Interfered
with It. Before tha America, under the command
of Captain Coffin, sailed on her disastrous voyase.

Just as she entered the Arctic, but her deter*

like to tell of the doughty skipper 1* that of his)
rough and tumble victory over no lea* weil anMSJas
a pugilist than Joe Choynskl.
A company of whalemen were lined up along the)
bar of a San Francisco saloon, when a hi* brat*
of a man under the Influence of liquor swept all
the glasses off the bar. "Fill them again,** said
Captain Tilton. approaching the stranger. Th«
latter was about to repeat the performance whan
Tilton picked him off the floor and Hubs; him on
I his back. Choynski. a s the sailors afterward Jwal
the man to be. took the full count.
Captain Tilton's plans for his Arctla trip have)
been well formulated. His Toyagw is to be naa<2«
in the customary way. by entering th* Aretlo)
through the P.*i nr» Strait. It Is his intention ta
ship a competent first officer, who will engassj t»)
whaling: after he leaves the vessel to maka Ms)
dash north. He plans to take along? with Tats* «
scientist and one other companion, who will ma!;*
Banks Land their starting point for the lons walk.
Th« three men -will purchase 250 dogs from th*
natives. Mai put in an entire year at Banks Land,
breeding dogs and training: for the coulamplatrrt
dash. All this time they will liv» on doc; meat to
accustom themselves to that kind of food. whM%
will bo their principal diet on the Journ*y. Th*
start from Banks Land will be mad* with SCO
dog?, and men and beasts will live on thai oami*
sort of food. Captain Tilton calculates that tha
proposed expedition will require three years.
It wad In the winter of 1323 that Tilton performed
the feat that has established the confidence of his)
friends that he will get nearer the Pola than any
or.c else ever did. even if he does not reach. It.
That season ha shipped as mate on the whale*

October 4. Tha ice had not cleared as la usually
the case at that time of year, and soon after her
arrival the Belvedere was caught fast In Its)

Th« other vessels wera equally unfortunate, and
the worst feature was the scarcity of provisions,
"With the Belvedere were the Orka. the Newport,
