Kennel Club, Lucky for T,uo
Years on Weather, This Time
Takes annual Sh0,v Indoors

The National Capital Kennel Club
has gone to cover for its ninth annual
dog show. Believing in the sports rule
OF three times and out, and having
been lucky two years in a row in
having fine weather for its outdoor
shows, it fears to tempt Lady Luck
again and has signed a contract to
hold a one-day' indoor show in the
large building at Twenty fourth and
M streets NV. on April 80.
This is to be the first show held
with Frank Downing as president,
although he has been responsible vir-
tually for the last five dog shows in
his capacity as chairman of the Bench
Committee. which position he retains
along with the presidency. He ex-
poets this show to be the most sue
cessful Of any because of the acces-
sibility of the new location, its size
and convenience, because the prize list
this year is to be larger than ever,
and because several national and local
specially clubs have designated the
classes at the Washington dog show
as the speciality show for their breeds.
This means that the owners of Shet-
land sheep dogs, for instance, will FORE
go showing at other dog shows if
necessary in order to enter as many
OF their dogs as possible at the WASH
ington fixture. 1t also means that
the very best of the breeds which
are holding their specialties in WASH
ington will be entered for competition,
for a win at speciality show is
more important than an ordinary
win.
Howse Moves Again.
Tom Howse, recently of Arlington,
soon is to be recently of Alexandria,
as he is scheduled to leave shortly
for the Middle West, where he is to
act as bank examiner. Tom was
catapulted into canine activity a little
over year ago when he purchased
F'reda Of Clarandall, a German shep-
herd which surprised him by annexing
a prize the first time he showed her.
Encouraged by his apparently easy
victory, he showed Freda q number
Of times and gained q number of
points toward her championship. He
then turned his attention to the
obedience test trials, and found Freda
capable Of taking ribbons in those, too.
Not to be outdone by his dog, Tom
decided then he would take a more
active part in the ring maneuvers
himself, applied for and received
judges license from the American
Kennel Club and then turned in
very creditable performance when he
judged German shepherds at the Old
Dominion show last October.
Freda is to accompany her master
in his wanderings in and out Of the
Western banks, whether on the look
out for Western desperadoes or merely
for Western show honors is unknown.

ABRAMS TACKLES
OBSCURE FIGHTER
Ciaccio Brings Little to

Ring Patrons.

Tony Ciaccio, rugged NorristoWn,
Pa, Italian. who has been stamped
by the District Boxing Commission
as fit fodder for George Abrams, will
attempt to halt the lengthy winning
streak Of the local Jewish middle
weight prospect tomorrow night in
an eight-round feature bout at Tur-
ners Arena.
Ciaccio's name means little or moth
ing to local ringworms. since he never
has appeared here and has done noth-
ing in foreign territory to merit at
tention in this sector. He has won
and lost to fair fighters and is rated
a stiff test for the youthful Abrams
in his seventeenth professional engage
ment.
For some unfathomable reason,
Steve Mamakos, a local lad who was
butchered numerically by Abrams
in their first collision. is seeking a
rematch. Steve faces Toots Bernstein
in another eight-rounder and Match
maker Goldie Ahearn is sympathetic
toward his pleas for a return tiff

Claccio reported here Friday at
the behest of Maj. Ernest w. Brown,

in a workout and found he has two
hands and feet, hair on his chest
and pink toothbrush. Anyway. he
was approved and promises to give
Abrams a strenuous session.

of which will get under way at $50

CHILLY WEATHER
TOCONT|NUE HERE
Fair Skies Forecast Today
and Mercury May Rise
Tomorrow.

Fair but continued cool weather is
in prospect for the next 48 hours, the
Weather Bureau said last night.
The mercury was expected to dip
this morning to about 35 degrees and
during the afternoon was expected to
stay at moderately low levels.
Fresh northwest winds developed
last night. with gusts sending the
velocity recorder above 80 miles an
hour. The winds are expected to con-
tinue strong today.
Clear skies will prevail tomorrow,
according to the forecast, and the
afternoon may find the temperature
rising somewhat.
If the cold continues, the double
blossom japanese cherry trees. most
of which border Hains Point, prob
ably will not bloom until the end
of the week.
Should they not open until next
Sunday, it will be an unusual Easter
from the floral standpoint Dogwood
and redbud in Rock Creek Park, flow
ering crab apple trees in Anacostia
Park and more than 100000 pansy
blooms should accompany the double
blossoms week from today.
A Well-known calendar printing firm
is entitled to jeer bit at the coun-
try's forecasters and almanac pub
fishers on the basis of its own long
range predictions for April. So far
this month the calendar prognostica-
tions have been painfully accurate.
The calendar even prophesied the tor
nadoes that swept the Southwest.
