LONG ISLAND FI
Dogs Refuse To Work in Society Show
Joe Fears Pampered Mutts May Some Day Ask Equality.
BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer - NEW YORK, Dec. 5 Jus Prob. ably just as well it didn't happen in pf ring, or the official chambers would be odiferous with poisonous fumes today. I am talking about that strange behavior of the dogs in the field trial out on fashjonable Long Island. n Perhaps you read about. it. The Long Island Retriever
ting on its big show of the seaClub wae gutson in the covers of the estates of the Harriman’s and the Guggenheim'’s. Everything was all set for a perWilliams fectly ripping day of it. A goodly number of the American nobility was present attired in alpine hats with saucy feathers, tweeds that reeked of heather and thistle and ¢hamois gaiters buttoned up to the knees, the general sartorial effect somehow suggesting a panorama shot of Mr. J. Ambrose Clark at the United Hunts.
But the day was not destined fo be an auspicious one in this particular sport. The chief performers decided not to perform. The dogs just wouldn't do their stuff, and when the dogs refuse to exert themselves in- the field the result is something less than lyrical. To be outspoken, the result is a complete bust. In the memory of the oldest expert this has never happened before, and when it did happen the three judges walked out. They wouldn't award any trophies. Their direct implication was that the dogs were bums, or, if they weren’t bums they weren't trying, and in either event they wanted no part of them. As a consequence the four silver trophies which were to have gone to the point winners went back to the jewelers.
Dogs on Strike
Nobody seemed to have a satisfactory explanation for the bewildering conduct of the fashionable pooches. The whole thing had the appearance of a sit-down strike. One of the society reporters tried to tie up the ing cident with Wally and Davey, inter‘preting it as a sympathetic rebellion against the aristocrats. A hard bitten Broadwayite thought it might have been a gambling plot, instigated by envious and scheming rivals. All these, of course, were just hopeful stabs in the dark. The established fact are the swanky kioodles were fetched out to the fields to put on a show for the better people and they flopped. Worse than that, they didn't even try. When the bell rang they went into a waltz, There may be a solid social lesson in this. Maybe people shouldn't ever attempt to bring up dogs as blue bloods. The possibilities are disturbing. Sooner or later the pampered mutts may demand equality, the right to wear funny clothes, and, who knows, even take up guns themselves and embrace the sport from the other end. I'm sure the spectacle of one of the Long Island lords sniffing at a dead pheasant and emitting joyous woof woofs would not be delectable even to a Communist.
No Investigation
Apparently there is to be no official investigation into the baffling mannerisms of the top-hat hounds who so wretchedly betrayed the confidence of the spectators and in 80 doing smeared the fair name of outdoor sport with a tawdry shame that can not be eradicated with fire or water, nor even by the fervent prayers of Sister Aimee. As I have suggested, the boxing commission could be counted on to deal with such a matter in a speedy and firm manner. Did these things come under the jurisdiction - of Messrs. Phelan, Brown and Wear they would lose no time in haling the suspects before their majestic tribunal, and while the cameras ground, revoke licenses, issue suspensions and deliver scathing castigations. Mr. Brown in particular has repeatedly stated he will not stand for a Barmey—the ferm used in the profession to describe larcenous practices—and from all accounts the field trial held at the: Harriman’s and the Guggenheim's was strictly a Barney. The dogs plainly were not trying. The judges it seems would have been wholly justifled in throwing them out of the meadows and calling it no con-
test. Dire Possibilities Seen
It. is to be hoped this scandalous ‘will not have the effect of
