To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Dog lovers by the thousands
througed Madison Square Garden dur
ing the four days Of the Westminster
show the week before last. and the old
time enthusiasm for the dog was not
diminished IN the least.
Widespread interest has been aroused
in the pioneer work undertaken by the
Dog Lovers Protective Association Of
America, Inc, as It appeals to all inter-
cstcd in the welfare of dogs, whether
owners of pedigreed dogs or mongrcls,
or simply dog lovers not even owning
q dog.
For the ordinary, plain, everyday
dog catalogues and ribbons never were
intended; that is, until the Dog Low
crs' Protective Association looked into
the matter and found that while per-
haps 10 per cent of the dog world was
receiving all the attention, the other
90 per cent was utterly neglected.
A show for dog heroes exclusively
was advocated by the Dog Lovers Pro-
tective Association soon after its or
ganization last year. and already some
encouraging recognition has been re-
ceived through several entries in some
recent bench shows.
The association will at some future
time hold its Hero Dog show on

and although the men have been work
ing little more than week Strang has
already cut the squad to thirty-odd as
pirants.
The Army is fortunate in that vet
eran players predominant in the make
up of the tentative nine. Strang has
eleven men who have already been
under fire in the Army's annual big
game, that with the Navy. Prominent
among the mainStays arc Neyland,
pitcher; Prichard, shortstop. and Brad
ley, Captain Merrillat and Hobbs, out
felders.
Neyland, who is the best pitcher the
Army ever had is expected to be in top
form this season. Mcmahon. another
finger OF some note, and Sarcka. a
