SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13. The
practice of cropping dogs' ears is de
nounced as unjustifiable cruelty by
the San Francisco Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Animals,
According to the society, the dogs
suffer intensely, not only during the
cutting operation, but for as long as
a month afterward, during which the
ears are pulled and shaped daily, in
some cases incisions being made in
them to thicken the cartilage to make
them stand erect.
Thu society has obtained statements
from leasing dog fanciers, who are
opposed to ear cropping and will at
tempt to Influence the American Ken
nel Club to her nil dogs with cars
cut after a fixed date from its shows.
A boycott on all shows in which dogs
with cut ears arc exhibited is one of
the methods recommended by eimo
of the society's members in an attempt
to abolish the practice.

Pl°n amateur baseball team, tentative
plans are being drawn by fosterers
of amateur baseball on the Pacific
coast for the latter section's entry
into the championship elimination of
really national scope.
I- \\ Galehouse, booking agent for
the northern division of the amateur
baseball rederation, and Carl Mueller,
of Los Angeles, active in amateur
baseball affairs in southern California,
have inaugurated plans whereby the
west will have brought its champion
ship candidates down to two by about
January 15, 1917. This end, it is
thought, will be attained by dividing
the west into two sections, and tally
ing the games of each division.
Daly City, once, when known as
Colma, the scene of some of the most
famous pugilistic battles of the coun
try, has finally set its face definitely
against professional boxing, recent
■vents indicate. Although professlon
d fighters were supposed by some
icrsons to have been put out of ac
ion in California by the 1915 leglsla
uro, (hey have fought freely, as a mat
er of fact, at Daly City and elsewhere
n the state. The limit was four
rounds. Of rniirso nml nurspa wnro
mid Hub rona, according to popular j
■eport.
The doors of the Italy City arena,
which is just across the line from San
'’rancisco, in San Mateo county, were
dosed upon Ad Wolgast, former light
weight champion of the world, when
he district attorney of San Mateo
ounty threatened prosecution of
•veryone connected with Wolgast's
idvertised fight with Willie Hoppe.
Vo signs of pugilistic life have been
ihown since in Daly City.
Reports from the University of
A'ashington indicate that Coach Do

ireparations for another victorious
ligskin season. The Dobieites were
ooking forward to their ninth con
ecutive season without a defeat when
hey suddenly discovered that Ross
ilcKechnie, last year's left halfback,
was not re-entering school; that “Bud”
foung, star quarterback, was out of
ootball for the season; that Tom
"ushman, center, was ineligible schol
istieally; and that a fourth member
if last year's "tank” squad was play
ng with the scrubs because he had
tot brushed up on rules during the
winter.
While this doubtless causes sorrow
hroughout Washington, it is different
n Berkeley, Cal., where the Califor
lia ’varsity was held to a scoreless
ie last Saturday by the San Fran

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 14. — An order
has been issued by General Alvaro
Obrogon, minister of war, abolishing
the title and position of “jefe de las

ceded those of the civil authorities
and judges. Hereafter, according to
Obregon's decree, the commanders of
garrisons will have authority over
their own men only and will not deal
in any way with the civil administra
tion. Those who have been acting
as administrators without military
command have been ordered to rejoin
their regiments or brigades at once.
