Dachshunde With 272
Lead Morris-Essex
Dog Show Entries
Whippets Of Cleveland,
Baltimore Open Event
With Races Today

For the third consecutive year,
Morris and Essex Kennel Club will
stage the largest show in the world.
When the fanciers gather at Gil
ralda Farms, Madison, N. J., to-
morrow, 1000 dogs of 80 odd breeds
will compete for shares Of the $2O,-
600 purse and sterling trophies.
Dachshunde lead the roll with an
entry of 272 dogs. the seventh year
in a row that they have polled over
200 dogs and the sixth year they
have had the largest entry. Cocker
spaniels are second with an entry
of 243, plus A English type cookers.
Whippet Rivalry Keen.
Bulldogs have the surprising entry
of 141. the third largest in the show.
Other breeds with more than hun
dEaa entries are Boston, poodles,
p6int6Ts. great Danes and boxers.
AS a curtain-raiser to the big
show, the whippet fanciers of the
Cleveland and Baltimore areas were
to stage races today to determine
which city has the faster whippets.
The races were to be held under
rules of the American Whippeting
Association on a 200-yard straight
away at Morris-Essex. This inter-
city rivalry has resulted in the entry
Of SO whippets at the big show, one
of the largest entries of this breed
ever seen.
New Grandstand Ready.
The new grandstand, which has
been built across one end anc half
way up two sides of the enormous
field where the dogs are judged, will
accommodate 1000 spectators. It will
be especially appreciated by those
who stay to watch the group and
best-in-show judging.
George Thomas, probably the best
known all-around Judge in the
world, will choose the best dog in
show this year, a coveted honor for
both the judge and the dog.

Golf Drama Promised
When Suruzen Plays
BY GRANTLAND RICE.


NEW YORK, May "a (N.AN.A).-
When stocky Gene Sarazen, the
Connecticut farmer, steps to the
first tee in the New York qualifying
=. district on Monday there will be
drama ahead. For Gene SaraZen
will be entering his 21st consecu-
tive United States Open golf cham
pionship. For the last 20 years he
has played In every Open, but on
this next occasion he must qualify
along with Ben Hogan, one Of the
1910 sensations.
Sarazen's first Open was in 1920
at Inverness, one of our finer tests.
This was the year Bobby Jones also
made his debut-the year Harry
Vardon literally kicked away his
final chance to win another major
crown.
i. Two years later at Skokie, Chicago,
stocky Gene came bounding through
with Jones, Hagen and John Black
In close pursuit. Sarazen was just
20 years old when the swarthy ex-
caddie won the main title at Skokie,
four days older than Francis Ouimet
was when the Boston star beat
Vardon and Ray at Brookline.
Sarazen's record of qualifying 20
straight years for the Open Is
phenomenal. In that span Of time
his record includes two United States
and one British Open title-three

I always have contended that eX-

tended in the national amateur

pions, who, in the average degree
of skill, are far below the leading

Why not give ex-champion pros
the same break?
There is no basis for sound de-
bate on this subject. In the first
place, golf galleries obtain certain
traditional thrill from watching the
play of those who have helped to
make golf history-I mean a Bobby
Jones, Walter Hagen or a Gene
Sarazen. to mention only few.

Would Be Crime Against
Sport if He is Erased

It would be a sporting crime if
he failed to qualify next Monday,
for he has what so few carry
color added to skill and courage.
It was Sarazen who played the
last % holes at Fresh Meadow in
100 strokes, IL under even Is, to win
his last open. 1t was Sarazen who
holed a 230-yard spoon shot in the
Masters at the Augusta National
for a double-eagle 2 on hole $40
yards in length, when he was trail
ing Craig Wood by three strokes,
with only four holes to play.
In his day and time through the
run of the years this chunky Apa-
wants ex-caddie, who was carrying
heavy bags cheerfully at the age of
8, has contributed more than his
share of drama to golf. He came to
the game as caddie to help out a
family with few dollars-a FAM
lily that needed few dollars badly.
From that start he has starred
around the world-America, North
and South-Great Britain, France,
Australia, Japan, the PHILIPPINES,
New Zealand. the Fiji Islands.
Gene still is something different.
He gives out interviews that make
headlines for Sarazen. He does part
of this with a half wink. Don't
think he isn't smart.
A short while back I was sitting
with him when certain pro-
amateur team was being sold at a
certain pool. Some one bid $500
for one of the teams.
That's beyond me-" Sarazen said.
"Here they are bidding s400 for
two bum golfers when I can get a
good COW for 5000 and a fine pig
for much less for my farm. It
doesn't make any sense"
