C. W. BARD LEAVES MICHIGAN
Pick I a All-Eaaterw BukU Ball Tease
l a Very nu Task ColiMkls
flayers appear im Be
est of Eaeteraers.
The selection of an all-eaatern basket
bail team thla wuon presents greater dif
ficulties probably than aver before, ' be
causa there appear to hare been only one
jm which was uniformly good and whose
men wera In condition from one end of
the aeaaon to the other. Columbia won
what la coifceded to be the eastern Inter
collegiate championship by beating all the
colleges which formerly were In the Inter
collegiate league and losing oniy one game.
That waa with Pennsylvania, the final
' game of the season.
Pennaylvanla played a very much In-and-out
game, loalng to Tale, which, by
the very aame token, alao played very un-
' evenly. Occasionally Tale had all It could
do to make a ahowlng against some minor
college and then suddenly woke up and
played a real fast im agalnet aome very
strong team. Aa far ai the question of
champlonahlp goes, almoat everyone, aeema
to be willing to concede that to the Co
lumbia team.
Tale Mil Presses Colombia.
That, apparently, la the view of William
l.ush. the former Tale basket ball coach,
who picked the Columbia team at a whole
for his choice of an all-eastern Intercolle
giate five. Mr. I.ush's Idrn waa that any
tam which matched as well aa did Colum
bia's team, understanding one another'a
styles of play and having all the speed
requisite, would do well enough for an In
tercollegiate five. He believed that no man
could be substituted therein who would
iud anything to the play, and therefore it
would be as well to leave any other Col
leges OUt. ,
That puts aside Kelnath and Klefaber of
Pennsylvania, who In other seasons have
been rated aa exceptional players, Keinath
especially. He apparently waa not In shape
early Iri the season and In fact never did
' get very fit. Hie reputation to the con
, trary.' be did not qualify for a place on
hush's team and In fact, most men who
were selecting an all-eastern team would
be apt to leave him off. One dlfflcujt-element
In selecting an all-eaatern team this
esr is that the New Tork university team
has strong claims , to pre-eminence In the
field of basket ball.. For that matter
Swarthmore has as well, because the Penn
sylvsnlans won all . their games and de
feated the University, of Pennsylvania very
handily lrt' one of them." As Pennsylvania
! was the champion of the previous year.
naturally a victory over the Quakers
amounts to a good deal to them, although
'It must be confessed that except for the
flnaj game of tha season, Pennsylvania did
not play particularly, good basket ball.
New Tork university thinks very well of
Broad head and Olrdansky, tha former a
forward and tha latter a guard, and In fact
the chances are that on a, truly all-eastern
team these players, or one of them at any
event, should receive a place." Mr. Irish's
suggestion after putting In the entire Co
lumbia team Melltser and Ktendl, for
wards; Ryan, center: Kimble and Cerussl,
guards waa that a second team might be
made up of Kelnath, Pennsylvania, and
f'ushman, Tale, forwards; Van Vleck of
Yale, center; Veeder of Princeton and
Klefaber of Pennsylvania, guards.
That Several Regatta.
'There seems tof be some doubt about
whether the Naval academy authorities
have extended Invitations to some of tha
leading rowing universities to compete In
a regatta to be held on the Severn. Al
though It is stated as a fact In several of
the college publications that Invitations
have been received, presumably on good
authority, a denial has been forthcoming
from the Naval academy. It Is to be pre
sumed thst this denial is merely with the
idea of making progress a little easier for
I lie navy folks In the absence of publicity
regarding their movements. The regatta
plan was in n may to combine the two
great events of the year In college rowing;
that Is to say. a regatta could be formed
with a representative of the New London
crews and one or more from the Pough
Weepsie contingent to meet the navy, and
something decisive would he the result.
It appeared that Harvard would not be
rne of the crews In th:s race because of
s disagreement between the Navy and the
Crimson, but Tale might row on the Sev
ern. As for the othrrs, spaprently reliance
was placed on Columbia. Cornell or Syra
cuse' accepting suqh an Invitation. Wis
consin whs probably believed to be out
of the question, and ' Pennsylvania might
have too many other engagements. It Is
understood, too, that the plan extended
even to Inviting a Pacific coast crew to
take part, but seemingly If It were im
possible for Wisconsin to come on rast
for such a race It would be unlikely that
a coast crew .would make the Journey.
If the race wore, to be held rather nearer

It Is Jus possible that a Pacific coast crew
would leave the west earlier and would
take part In this rst e as' part of the prepa

However, aa It Is still a matter of mys
tery whether or not thre 111 be a Partlc
coast crew at Pcu(thkepie this year, this
Is very much In the field of speculation.
The Idea at Annapolis apparently waa that
varsity and freshman crews of the col
leges Invited would assemble there In May
or' In the early part of June for races at
cither two or four miles.
At the very stsrt it appears that a four
mile race Is entirely out of the question
because most coaches would be unwilling
to have their men rnw a four-mile- race In
May, with another four-mile race due to
be rowed In June. It would Involve some
Juggling in the way of training that would
be a little difficult and might result In
great harm to the crews as iar aa the
larger regatta on the Hudson waa con
cerned. It Is likely, too, that there la no
chance that more than one ofthe Hudson
crews would appear on the Severn, be
cause of the: request made by the Inter
collegiate stewards that no crews of the
Hudson regatta shoufld meet In races prev
ious to that rtta.
Ms. Bal'il's Kesa1loa.
The withdrawal of Charles W. Balrd as
director of athletics at Michigan , has been
made pufillc at length, although for a long
time report has been busy with the Idea
that Mr. Balrd soon would leave Michigan.
At the close of the present academic year
he will be succeeded by some one else and
it was said a long time ago that this might
be Phillip O.- Barteleme of Chicago.
Mr. Balrd had the following to say on the
day -when his resignation was announced:
Things are' already looking brighter and
I am confident that In another year Michi
gan will be well on her way back to her
position as leader of the west In athletics-
position which is rightfully hers. The
excellent foot ball schedule which we have
succeeded In arranging for next fall Is auf
flclent evidence that Michigan Athletic as
sociation's events are In no present danger.
We have Buffered a good many defeata the
last few years. What la the cause of those
defeats? That Is a question too complicated
to answer in a single sentence. For anyone
to Intimate that any one thing or any single
man was refJnslble for our slump In ath
letic prestige is foolishness. It wss the
natural result of existing conditions."
During Mr. Balrd's stay at Michigan a
great many things were accomplished In the
way of Improving the athletic plant of the
Institution and lor most of this he Is re
sponsible. His work has been very hard
and Michigan Is likely to be very sorry to
lose him., Mr. Balrd says basket ball, which
was begun as an . intercollegiate sport this
year at Michigan, will be tried for anothef
season. The team did not win very many
of Its games and did not draw very well,
but it I thought that In another year when
the Michigan students become more accus
tomed to the game, there will be a great
deal more Interest In it and It. will be worth
while retaining. "
BRIARCLUTE RACE IS A SUBETT
Date Probably Will Be Late Serlag-
or Early Samsae.
NEW TORK, March .-The 1909 Brler-
cllffe auto race Is a surety. Despite
charges and countercharges of the com
mittee in charge of the formulating of the
rules, the race Is now assured - and the
mojor car enthusiast may rub his. hands
together In anticipation of a classic road
race hereabout within the next few months.
H. H. Law, son of W. W. Law, donor of
the trophy, states that the contest will
certainly be held this year, . He said that
the date would probably be the end of
spring or early In the summer.
Percy Owen, chairman of the committee
which waa formed for the purpose of draw
ing 'ip a code of rules for the Brlarcllffe
race, made the following statement: "Find
ing that the members of , the committee
would not agree on suitable rules and that
the prospects of an agreement were any
thing but promising. It was deemed ad
visable to abandon the project of drawing
up a code. The matter was turned over
to W. W. Law, donor of the trophy, and la
in. his hands at the present time. The
committee did what It could, but harmony
could not be attained."
W. W. Law took up the question and
consulted men well versed in automobile
racing. The result is that the rules for
this year's Brlarcllffe race have been
drawn up and will be made public shortly.
The contest Is assured, as Mr. law Is
determined that the event shall not suffer
even though the failure to agree upon
rules made the holding of It only a pos
sibility. All bore and stroke differences
have been straightened out and with the
announcement of the rules the prelimi
nary work on the race will commence In
earnest. Although the late date In deter
mining upon the rulea will, of course,
necessitate the race being held later than
last years contest, it is expected that
the 1909 Brlarcllffe will be one of the
greatest races' of Its kind ever held In
this section. Several courses are under
contemplation, but it la thought that last
year a raceway will finally be decided upon.

NEW TORK, March 20,-Jlm Jeffries h.

FUTURE OF KENNEL CLUB
New Brooms . May Effect Many
Changes in Methods.
ASSOCIATE MEMBERS NOT NEEDED
Old Principles Far from Allrwlxtle
Isrsi of Foaaders atloaal
Association' Has Pleaty
of Money
NBW TORK, March 20. All's well that
ends without a lawsuit, and thanks to a
lucky star the American Kennel club has
taken a fresh start! backed by a charter
and incorporation papers lately jnado at
Albany. ltteaw the light a quarter of a
century ago, yet, although now prosperous
and supreme, the patient has been for a
while In the hands ef the doctors and at
one time seemed in a- decline. The future
of the American Kennel club Is now
bright, for the declaration that it Is a
commonwealth and not a vest pocket
monopoly has now been established under
the great seal of the state of New Tork.
Urging as a spur to the action that under
the new national law regarding the Impor
tation of dogs the pedigrees must be ac
cepted by a recognised and incorporated
organisation; also that an unincorporated
body may not hold real estate nor build,
the powers behind the throne on December
19. 1806, reorganised the American Kennel
club under articles of Incorporation ob
tained from the secretary of state at Al
bany on December SI, ' 19U8. The executive
committee made a bill of sale from the old
to the, reorganized club. Claiming that the
Incorporation, waa Illegal for the reasons
that fhe articles If good had lapsed In the
three years of nonusage and also that a
union of distinct clubs' could not be incor
porated under the club law, but required
a special charter, a number of opponents
within the American Kennel club spoke
against the reorganization. The real
reason was that the new directors had
swallowed the American Kennel club bag
and baggage, assets and good will, accord
ing to the Independents, and while smiling
benignly, had euchred , the club delegates
out of all their vested rights under the'
original 'constitution. ' ' ' ', '
Independents, Jimp Claim.
"In taking out articles of Incorporation,"
said one of the Independents, "the execu
tive board, as they say in the west, has
Jumped the claim of the delegates. 1 The ac
tion ahould only have been taken after a
public hearing at a general meeting prop
erly announced. The delegates have log
rights as well as the new incorporators."
A committee of the Independents that in
cluded R. 8. Bdson, K M. D. McOulre, Dr.
J. B. De Mund, Joseph B. Thomas, Jr.,
Clair Foster and others then began a sys
tematic effort to hare a reorganisation on
lines that would preserve the fundamental
principles of the American Kennel club.
Affairs went so far that the case reached
the courts and" was placed on the docket.
The independents had never questioned the
Integrity or sporting spirit of the old offi
cers, who they ' thought had been misled,
and at the eleventh hour, to save time and
expense; It was agreed to leave the case
to an adjudication committee Of thirty.
W. Q. Rockefeller was chairman of this
committee and John G. Bates secretary1,
the independents having a strong minority
representation. This committee took full
charge of the club affairs, procured arti
cles of Incorporation and -prepared a con
stitution that pleased boh the conserva
tives and Independents. The former Amer
ican Kennel . club passed out, and on Feb
ruary 12 laat the present American Kennel
club by unanimous vote came Into exist
ence. 1
Both independents and standpatters had
representation In . the directorate - to the
rumber of thirty then selected, who forth
with took possession of the assets. The
directors named by the adjudication com
mittee were August Belmont, H. H. "Hunne

Edward Brooks, W. G. Rockefeller,
Dwlght Moore, R. P. Keasbey. J. S. Price,

Osgood, W. S. Barclay,- R. H. Johnson,
Jr.; R. Crocer," Jr, and James Mortlmer.
Officers Klrrted.
At the meeting of the directors the of
ficers of 1900 were fleeted: August Bel
mont, president; H. H. Hunewcll and 11.

These are old names, but thoy afe pledged

Philadelphia, city of great Inceptions,
saw the dawn of the American Kennel club.
Beforo each bench show or field trial club
had been a law unto itself, but each ceased
to play a lone hand on September 17, 1HSI,
when tho American Kennel club came Into
being at the rooms of the Philadelphia
Kennel club. Every club Interested in the
United States or Canada had been Invited
to the meeting, the call having been sent
out by Major J. M. Taylor. sttM the great
est judge of sporting dogs in this country,
and Eliot Smith. There were thirteen
charter members the Westminster Kennel
club. New Tork, and those of St. Louis
Philadelphia, Boston. New Haven, Louis
ville, Baltimore, Cleveland. Cincinnati.
Chicago, Montreal, London, OnL, and St.
John, N. B. Thnre was a second meeting
during the Westminster show In October,
1881', at Madison Square Garden, when
Malor Taylor was elected president, Kllot
Smith and Samuel Coultson vice presi
dents, E. 8. Porter secretary, and G. N.
Appold treasurer. The expressed objects
wera:
First To socure Uniformity of rules gov
erning bench shows and field trials.
Second To act aa a court of appeals.
Third To punish all cases of Improper
conduct on the part of managers and ex
hibitors at bench shows and field trtuls.
Fourth To adopt and maintain such
measures aa shall tend to benefit and pro
tect its several membera.
The proposition aa It stood was a purely
sporting one, rrovidlng solely for an al
truistic board to labor for the encourage
ment of thoroughbred dog breeding. It was
not until an Income earning addendum had
been Included and the concern had at
tained wealth that the effort was made to
cut off the fundamental objects and to
convert the organisation Into a monopoly
by a few, an effort that has been made
null and void by the energy of many un
contamlnated ' amateur fanciers of dogs,
men of the stamp of b originators. Their
action has restored the affairs of the
American Kennel club to a sane basis and
made possible the unlimited enlargement
of Its scope.
Session la 1885.
There were three meetings In 1885, at
Cincinnati la January, Boston In April and
New York In May. at the latter Major
Taylor and Elliot Smith being reelected,
while J. Edward Osborn became secretary
and E. Comfort treasurer. Smith and W.
H. Chllds were In turn president after
Major Taylor, until on May S. 1888, August
Belmont succeeded to the office, which he
has held with credit ever since. In lis A.
r. Vredenburgh became secretary, slid In
VP8 he took the new office of eecre'sry
treasurer, a place he hns retained and
rhsdo gMid In to dale. When President
Belmunt yok office the American Kennel
club had (welve members, the only Income
being the annual dues of 110 from each;
now thre Is from this source an annual
gross Income of $1,040 and $1.5x0 from as
sociate members, with a cash surplus Of
a.nm. The first step to gain a natlohal
pre-eminence was to estahllxh a stud book
and register. This was decided on In 1XX6.
and within wo yesrs the American Kennel
club had gained the possession of the two
pioneer ventures of the sort, the American
Kennel Register, published by Forest snd
Stream. New York, and .the Amerlcsn
Kennel Stud Book, published by the Ameri
can Field, Chicago. In 1KW the American
Kennel club started the American Kennel
Gazette, now Issued semi-monthly, and the
auxiliary associate membership. ,
Caaadlaaa Drop Ont.
The three Canadian clubs among the
charter members Isoon dropped out and
there has-been no affiliation on rulings
with that tountry since 18SS. for the fan
cl?ra across the border prefer to run their
own affairs under an allegiance with the
English Kennel club. Despite whst may
be termed a perpetual quarrel with the
United States customs and the quarantine
regulations the Canadians are frequent ex
hibitors at bench shows In the United
States, but the reverse Is not the case. The
American Kennel club sent a committee to
th English Kennel club lq 1901. constituted
of A. P. Vredenburgh, C. Rodman and G.
M. Carnochan, to 'argue for mutual action
on certain. points. Nothing came of It save
a perfunctory agreement .under which the
American Kennel club was to be recognized
as the ruling body for the United States
and Canada.
There have been at times an opposition
to the American' Kennel club, notably the
National Breeders Vassoclatlon, started at
New York In 1889, and various rlvsl stud
books and registers, but none has survived.
At this time it Is paramount throughout
the Unl'ed States, safe In harbor after the
storm that followed the hasty actions of
1906, yet but for, the lse counsels that
led to the committee ftf adjudication there
would probably now be' a new organization
and new stud nook ina vigorous race with
the old ship. Thlf thought may have some
Influence In leading 'the American Kennel
club back to the early altruistic methods.
Committees for the Tear.
The affairs for the year will be shaped
by the following standing committees: '

H. Carlton. Dr. W. P. Biirnham, VV. V.

As new brooms sweep clean, some
changes from the former methods are ex
pected during the season from the com
mitteemen. The stud book work Is to be
regulated, It Is said, by adopting modern
Indexing and filing systems, while some ef
fort Is to be made to have--verified the
pedigrees handed In for registration. The
committee on this Work may find It Im
possible to guarantee pedigrees, but In the
Interest of paternal government It may be
often possible to throw out a,redlgree man
ifestly fixed up. The task of the rules
committee Is to cut hut the red fape that
has entangled the management' of dog
shows and to enforce certain needed , re
forms In the selection of show Judges' on
the principle that all exhibitors,' rich or
poor, should have an evqual chance to win
the bli'e ribbons and no awards be made
through favoritism. The safeguarding of
puppies at shows and more drastic penal
ties against the benching of unsound, mu
tilated, or faked-up dogs will alao engage
attention of the rules committee.
Doesn't Give ft Show.
The American Kennel , club, unlike the
English Kennel club, does nt give- sn an
nual show, and this Is in accordance with
Its posijjon as the supreme" and un
prejudiced high court of dogdom. It con
sequently Is not apparent to many why
there should be an associate membership,'
particularly as they are carried along at a
monetary loss to the "American Kennel
club. The original Idea was to create a
support for the stud book, which no lonuer
holds good, for the dog breeders of tho
tountry are now sufficiently numerous to
make it and the Gazette profitable, even
though the latter were Issued weekly. An
other primal idea and one very dear to
two or threo was that the as.sociate mem
bers would some day build a club bouse,
part of which would be used for the
American Kennel cluH offices. It happens
now, however, that many of the" associate
members are mere figure heads and do not
own dogs, while some of them speak dls
parsgingly of kennel owners and show ex
hibitors. A favcrlte remark with this sort
of arsoclate member Is: "Yes, I belong to
the American Kennel club, you know, but
really I wouldn't keep a dog and I never
go to dog shows."
In keeping with the platform of the 184
meeting at Philadelphia the membership
should be limited to kennel, specialty or
dog show clubs, each to a have a voting
delegate and to pay annual dues of $10.
The associate member pnys $5 a year, for
which he receivea free two registration
privileges, value $1 each; a copy of the
stud book, cost to print $3.80; a subscrip
tion Jto the Gazette, value $J, and access to
al) records and to any foreign and Ameri
can papers on file In the American Kennel
club office. ' There is no profit In thla

CHICAGO WANTS DATES CHANGED
Asks that Races Be Not Una on Me
morial Ear.
CHICAGO, March 30.-The contest board
cf the Chicago Automobile club will sug
gest to Chairman Hower of the contest
committee of the American Automobile as
sociation that the two tentatively selected
dates. May 28 and 3. be changed. The
Chicago motorists deem It advisable, that
May 29 and 31 be chosen in their stead.
Owing to the fact that Memorial day-falls
on Sunday this year, Chicago's business
world will In all probability enjoy a holi
day on Monday, May 31. It is proposed to
have the light csr rsce on Msy 29. By
holding the big race on Mond.ty it is
thought that, owing to the holiday, a rec
ord attendance would be on hand.
, The Idea of. having a day Intervene be
tween two races Is a novel one, but it has
its advantages. Drivers who compete in
the light car race on Saturday, May 29,
will be able to rest up en Sunday for the
classic event, which will be run off the
following-Monday. The llgh car race will
doubtless result In the tearing up of the
raceway at the turns, and all the ruts so
made could be repaired on Sunday. The
fact that the rulea have not been an
nounced Is necessarily holding up the en
tries, but several tentative onea have been
made.

( We have never claimed S. S. S.
to be a medicine to work wonders,
nor one that would cure every ailment
of mankind; but we do know it to be
a specific for those disorders originat
ing from impure or diseased blood.
When we say this medicine cures
blood troubles we are stating a fact
which is corroborated by the experi
ence of thousands, and doubtless there
are persons in your locality who know
its value as a blood medicine because
they.have used it, or heard of its being
used, with success.
Our bodies are absolutely de
pendent on pure blood for health. This fluid is the most vital force of
life, and as long as it remains pure we are apt to escape disease, but
any impurity, humor or poison acts injuriously on the system and
affects some portion of the body.
Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes, and the various skin affections,
show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as the result
of some humor, or the presence of a fiery acid which inflames
and irritates the delicate fibres and tissues. Rheumatism comes from
an excess of uric acid in the circulation, causing soreness and stiffness
Gentlemen : 8. S. 8. Is a good
medicine. It Is an excellent tonio to
gtve appetite anil energy and make
one feel better in every way. I have
found it also an excellent blood puri
fier. For months I was troubled with
an itching skin eruntion on the face,
and tried speoialists and many reme
dies to (ret a cure, but S. S. 8. le the
only medicine that wonld cure. I am
now free of this eruption. I think a
f reat deal of your medicine, knowing
t to be the best blood purl tier and
tonio known to the world today.

Ftom childhood I was afflicted
with a terrible blood disease. My

of physicians, but the disease was
too much for them. Thus I grew into
manhood, handicapped by a terrible

remedies without relief, a friend

faith in any medicine. I waa happy
