D. L. P. A. WAMS
SUBSTITUTE FOR
MUZZLING LAW
Organization Believes in
Less Drastic Rule to
Govern Pets.
ADVOCATES EITHER
MUZZLE OR LEASH
1 Also Thinks Type of Restraining
Device Should Be Light, Per?
mitting More Freedom.
The Dog Lovers' Protective Associa
! tion, after a thorough investigation of
* the workings of the muscling law now
in fi-rce in this city, has evolved what
it believes will be an efficient substi?
tute for the unnecessarily severe meas?
ure now in force.
The association was primarily th?'
? outgrowth of the recent agitation
1 against the combined muzzling and
I leashing ordinance, out its officials
' with it clearly understood that the
j organization was not formed to orn?se
t the Board of Health in us efforts to
insure the safety of the public, but
' rather to aid the board by advocating
and supporting effective bol less dras
tic remedies.
The D. L. P. A. believes that "an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
1 of muzzles," and that the public can
! b? st safeguard itself by looking after
the health and wellboing of its dog?;
. that it is not in the well cared for
dog that the danger lies, but in the
stray, neglected animal all too common
in our streets.
The following embodies the results
of the association's labors along these
lines:
First?That all dogs on public thor?
oughfares be either muzzled 01
leash, not both.
Second An ordinance requiring all
dogs to be licensed, the license tag
being large enough to be readilv seen
by officers on the streets. Owners
. should put their names and addresses
on the reverse side of th?
the collar.
Third-An advisory committee of.
Fay, five members, who shall be repre
itive of dog owners in New York
?vho shall advise with the A S

CAMPBELL'S VICTORY
A STRIKING EFFORT
Retirement of Drew Takes from
Competition a Master Among
American Sprinters.
Echo?! of the National A. A. U. track
and field championships, held at San
Francisco a week ago yesterday, that
have come eastward show that the ath?
letes from the Last were not as com?
pletely outclassed by "the rest of the
country" .as the returns seemed to in?
dicate at first blush. In point of fact,
the Eastern States scored "Z points
out of a total of 198. The Pacific Coast
and bur West made 57, while the Mid?
dle West had a total of 88. So, al?
though the Fast does not overbalance
the athletic ability of the other parts
Of the ??mi,try combined, it is still
stronger than any other single section.
Little, as.de from the fact that he
had a cold ami .?a? outrun by a man
who on that day was the better, can be
said of Norman Tabor's defeat in the
one-mile run, bu? on analysis the vie-;
: LeKoy Campbell, the I'niversity
of Chicago flyer, in the half-mile race
grows in importance.
Light to the tape the race was a
gruelling battle between Campbell,
Dav? Caldwell, the 1914] intercollegiate
half-mile champion; doe Higgin?, the
Holy < roai .?tar, and W. Fby, of the
Chicago A. A. The men finished in that
order, but they were only inches apart.
Campbell was just saved from defeat.
One of Caldwell'i lunges across the
line carried him to the tape barely ,
three inches behind the winner. Hig
gina was almost as close behind Cald?
well, and apparently was the freshest
of the three at the end.
An interesting feature brought out
by Kay'.- victory in the 1-mile cham?
pionship was that he was able to de- ;
feat the men who had beaten him in \
the two previous championship races, j
Norman Taber defeated him in 1913 :
and Kiviat in 1014. This year he got
revenge on both
Platl Ada n-. of the New York A. C,
came within an ace of being beaten by
Si son, of the Olympic Club. In his
first jump Sisson cleared 23 feet 9
inches, but after the jump had been
measured the judges declared that he
had fouled at the take-off, and wiped
the mark from their hooks. That's
why Adams with his last jump was
able to land in second [dace.
The three star*, who were looked
upon as standing out above most of
the others in the sprints were forced
to watch the races from the side lines.
i Parker, the Coast champion,
pulled a tendon and could not even get
in the trials; F. Mcl'.nde, the Denver
Sat h o?-lhoy, who had run ?ome wonder?
ful trials, -Haired ? tendon in the
junior meet and could not perform,
while Howard I?rtsv did the same in
the championships, and was out of the
running.
The announced intention of Drew to
forego further competition brings to an
end the career of one of the most fa?
mous sprinters the negro race hat pro?
duced. Drew first sprang into fame in
1911, when he ran for the Springfield
High School and established all kinds
boolboy record? He was one of
the first sprinters selected for the 1912
Olympic team, hut he was unable to
compete becavusa of a strained tendon.
He is the holder of several indoor rec
or?is ai.?l equalled Dan Kelley's world's
record eeondl for the 100-yard
dash.
Pat Ryan, one of the Irish-American
A. C. "whales," through whose down?
fall the Celtic Park club was nosed out
of the team championship, protested
the victory of Lee Talbott, who com
i ? ??.??! for the Kan.?as City A. C. in the
.ml weight throw. Kyan eot?
i that Talbott had received one
trial too many, but the officials couldn't
BOB it that way, anil Talbott was cred?
it?.d with the victory,
The C? ?. of officials seems to
have been open to doubt not only in
the 56-pound weight but also in some
of the other events as well. This was
borne out by the fiasco which probably
cost Tel Meredith a world's record in
the quarter-mile dash. That Meredith
was near the top of his form is proved
by tl " fact that after running 220 yard?
at high ?peed be went out on the see
,',| start and turned the quartet in
?l*- 8-5
If Meredith accept.? the invit?t:, ? 'o
try for Ma .-? rec?
ord on the Guttenburg -ere is
? very chance that hi ibla to

of 47 seconds flat.

The Hamilton Fish Purk nines made
a clean sweep of it in their series
with Corleara Hook last week. The,
86 pound and 120 pound teams won ?
by the same score, 1 to 0. Hoffman,
the pitcher of the first named team,
?allowed only one hi?, while Webber,
who did the twirling for the bigger
boys, let his opponents down with
two. The 105 pound teams put up a
lively tight of it before the visitors
won by a score of 5 to 4.
Not content with this the Hamilton
Fish boys repeated the double shut
cut performance against the Colum?
bus playground nines. Webber was
in better form this time, for he let
the 120 pound Columbus tears down
with one hit. The 105 pound Hamil?

Commodore Brown and two other swimming stars of the same name.
Katherine Brown an
Aquatic Infant Prodigy
Five-Year-Old Mermaid Can
High and Fancy Dive, and
Use Half a Dozen
Swimming Strokes.
By L. DE B. HANDLEY.
Philadelphia, Boston. St. Louis, Los
Angeles an.l other cities have been
pointing with pride for a couple of
year? to the extraordinary waterman
r?.nip developed by some of their baby
boys and girl.-, while New York hung
id, unable to emulate.
But we have at last produced an
aquatic infant prodigy of our own.
Katharine Brown, !';vc-year-old daugh
ter of Alfred Brown, th?; professional
long distance swimmer of America,
brooks no rival of her age.
This remarkable little mermaid can
high and fancy dive, demonstrate life
saving methods, use half a dozen swim?
ming strokes and cover distance- al
unbelievablo in one of her dimin?
utive proportions.
Reports of Katharine's exploits led
the writer to College Point a few days
ago, and '?? ira treated to an
exhibition which left him amazed.
The chubby miss began by perform?
ing several dives frc .n a low spring?
board, then climbed to a platform no
less than ten feet high and fearlessly
plunged into the water below. Next
lustrated in excellent form the
. back, siiie, single and double
irm strokes, following up with an
?ion of lifesaving in which she
towed her proud father, who weighs
around two hunilred pounds, fifteen or
twenty yards.
Finally, she struck out for the open,
alone and unafraid, while we followed
In a rowboat, and she had paddled
along for a good, healthy half mile be?
fore Commodore Brown decided she
had done enough and stopped her.
It was a convincing all-around test,
ami it may be doubted if any child of
five in the world could go through it
so successfully.
Local swimmers have a busy week
ahead of them. On Thursday there
will be a meet, under the supervision
of the Glenmore Athletic Club, in the
big pool of Steeplechase Park, Coney
Island; on Friday a set of water sports
at New Point Comfort, N. J., in connec?
tion with the annual Keansburg carni?
val, and on Saturday the Rye Beach
Club s 11 run o.T its midsummer
aquatic conte.-ts at Rye. N. Y.
The feature of the Steeplechase pro-1
grammi' :? a 1,000 . ird scratch swim, in
erbert Vollmer, of the New
Y.uk Athletic Club, all-around cham?
pion of the metropolitan district, will
attempt to lower the American record
for the distance. Apart from the fact
that general confidence is felt in the j
young Mercury Footer's ability to ere- j
??le new figures, the race promises to
be hotly contested. Vollmer will be
opposed by riv: '? worthy of his mettle,
' and there are some wlto even believe
j it poss:ble he may lose the race and
I record to one of his speedy antagonists.
At the Keansburg meet will compete
i the leading watermen and mermaids of
this district. The list of contests in?
cludes four for the former and three
for the latter.
The Rye Beach card is one of the
best of the season. Besides a 200-yard
handicap for men, a sprinting swim for
women and a novelty obstacle race, it
contains contests for three important
perpetual trophies ? 100-yard scratch
swim for the Thompson cup; high div
ing event for the Graham cup and
closed dash for the Robert Stoll cup.
It is to be regretted that the Rye
Beach meet conflicts with the cham
Ipionship carnival of the Philadelphia
Swimming Club on the same day. The
latter includes a one-mile swim for the
Middle Atlantic title, a 440-yard race
for the Asher cup and a 100-yard dash
tor the Sackett cup. As Herbert Voll?
mer and Walter Ramme, of the New
York Athletic Club, are both entered
for the last named contest, they will
miss the chance to bid for the Thomp?
son cup.
Des*pite repeated endeavors on the
part of our leading fair divers to have
holding organizations refuse to award
points for dives not appearing on the
Amateur Athletic Union table, commit?
tees have turned a deaf ear, claiming
that such a course would cut the en?
tries by half.
This is possibly true, yet it seems
:>le to adopt the proposed plan.
Entirely too much time has been de?
voted by women divers to the study of
valueless tricks. The same amount of
work applied to standard feats would
have led to proficiency along the wanted
lines. But there is little hope of change
in method so long as judges are ar?
bitrarily allowed to estimate the worth
of unlisted dives.
Whether promoters see the point or
not, the competitors themselves should
appreciate the importance of practising
and exhibiting only regulation dives.
It may be pointed out to them that
the official table must be adhered to
in all championship tests, so that fail
? master the listed feats will
hereafter preclude all chance of figur?
ing in title events.
The defeat of Michael McDermott, of
the Illinois Athletic Club, by Herman
Laubis, the eighteen-year-old star of
the Missouri Athletic Club, in the re?
cent half-mile swimming championship,
has established the latter as favorite
for the Mississippi Marathon, emblem?
atic of the National Amateur Athletic
I'nion ten-mile title. McDermott won
the event in 1912 and again in 1913,
so that he was the universal choice
until the St. Louis lad took his meas?
ure. McDermott has much at stake in
the coming race With two legs on the
famous Mississippi $1,000 trophy, a
victory this year will give him abso
possession of it.
