Leonard Seppala, hero of the dog-mushing dash with diphtheria serum to Nome. Alaska, will try to wrest from Emile St. Goddard the international mhshing cham pionship, now competing in the 120-mile eastern derby, which started at Quebec yesterday and continues three days.
 The event maias the climax of the dog-racing season.
 The Alaskan. who is 52 years old, will attempt to cover the dis tance in less than II hours, g minutes and 35. seconds, the time in which St. Goddard set a world record last year
 St. Goddard, who is in his early twenties, ran on the upgrades with his dogs, but the grizzled Alaskan had to ride all the way. for his legs no longer are nimble. Despite the handicap of his own weight placed on his team. Sep pala finished only 20 minutes be hind St. Goddard.
 Youth is the favorite against age in these long races oyer snow, and some judges of the sport ex- pect 15-year-old Paddy Nolan, who finished fourth last year, to be the most dangerous rival of bota Seppala and St. Goddard. Paddy made plucky finish in 1927 with only three of his five dogs.
 Other entrants included Frank Dupuis, winner of the 1926 derby; Earl Brydges, champion in. 1924; Shorty" Russick. a strong con tender in recent years, and Jose Therin, picturesque hunter and trapper of Loretteville.
 The purpose of dog sled racing is to stimulate interest in the breeds of dogs, and to test their strength. speed and endurance, The Canadian government fosters the sport, for it is interested in the effort to determine what is the idela type of dog for keeping one of Canada's most important industries--lunbering and paper manufacturing Linked with civili ration during the months when snow several feet deep locks the forests to other transportation. Thus far the Siberian and Al askan hnskies, which are hall wolves. seem to have demonstrat ed their superiority over dogs Of the maritime provinces excelline perhaps because of their wild heritage.

'We took the game right in our

The fact that New York univers

~ to weigh heavily against the east

AS far as the merits of the con-

of the outstanding backs of the

Incidentally, every team he has
