Clintwood and
Ervinton Split
County Tourney

The Ervinton girls and the Dick
enson Memorial High School boys
rang down the final curtain of the
basketball season in Dickinson
County by winning the final games
Of the tournament held at Nora
last Saturday night. The Ervinton
girls won from the Green and
White sextet from Clintwood by
a rather decisive margin, AZ to 10,
and the D. M. HI. S. boys scored
a "a to Is victory over the big
Clinchco quintet, winner over Err
vinton on the previous night.
In the girls finals the Ervinton
sextet proved superior in practi-
cally every department of play.
They took an early lead over
Clintwood and increased the mar
gin throughout the game. Coach
Stanley made but very few sub
stitutions and the game was not
of the usual tournament quality.
For Ervinton, Wilma Cable, play
ing her final high school game.
was the offensive star of the even
ing with total of % points, fol-
lowed by Sperrow with IL points.
Bise for Ervinton played an ex-
cellent defensive game. For Clint
wood Waddell took the lead on
the offensive, scoring 13 of her
teams total, while Baker, Priode
and Davis played well ON the de-
tense.
In the final boys game two ex-
cellent teams put on an encounter
which provided plenty of thrills
for capacity audience. Clinchco
took the lead with a charity toss
before the game was a minute old
and followed with a field goal.
Clintwood then broke the ice with
a nice field goal, followed in an
other minute by a field goal by
Clinchco. Next Clintwood tailed
and began to set the pace. The
score was tied at all, but from
that time on, Clinchco fell behind
and the boys from Dickinson Me-
mortal High headed toward their
first championship since 1886, led
by Will Davis, their star center,
who accounted for IL points or
one half of his teams total. The
score at the half way period was
13 to 9 with Clintwood at the big
end of the count. At the end of
the third quarter Clintwood led
by 8 points, 16 to 13.
Although Clintwood entered the
fray as a slight favorite the Clint
wood defense did not allow for
many open shots, and with the all
round floor work of the locals SUI
perior, Clinchco was unable to un-
loose it's usual offense. Mullins and
Dotson, Clintwood guards, were
brilliant on the defense, and were
matched on the offense by the ex-
Hellent playing of their teammates,
Glen Davis, Stanley and Powers.
Cain, Powers and Hillman were
outstanding for Clinchco, and
Hillman was high scorer for his
team with a total of z points.
On the previous Friday evening
Clintwood scored an easy So to 16
victory over Breaks High, tourna-
ment winner over Haysi. Coach

A Dog Lovers Notebook

talk on the breed by r. J. Jondreau
and a demonstration of how not
to show a boxer by Gordon Bar
ton were features Of the meeting.
Among the guests we're Mrs. Robert
Guggenheim, Mrs. Alexander Bailey,
Mrs. Bosser-J johnson, Miss Elizabeth
Lennon, and the members of the
club.
The sanction show takes place this
afternoon at the home of Keith Mer-
rill. 2535 Belmont road NV. Fred
erick Hamm, president of the Ameri-
can Boxer Club, is judging. Post
entries will be taken until the judg-
ing starts at o'clock.
The rising importance Of boxers
is clearly demonstrated by the grow
ing part they are taking in many
fields. More and more are being
seen in the obedience test trials at
the licensed shows Glenn Stude-
baker has on exhibition at the sane
ton match his dog which now boasts
both the Companion Dog and Com
panion Dog Excellent titles.
A recent letter from the Seeing
Eye organization in Morristown,
N. j., discloses that there are now
eight boxers actually at work with
their blind masters and seven more
are in training. The director speaks
very enthusiastically about the breed
and emphasizes that these dogs are
especially adapted to lead blind
women. Since the boxer is partic-
ularly virile and masculine looking
breed, his statement is rather sur
priSing.
Another bit of boxer news concerns
the sire of Mrs. Shouse's Ellei Won
Zweitterheim, considered by many
to be one of the outstanding boxer
bitches now in the country. Stain
burndorf zumftig Won Dom was pur-
chased by an English army officer
from his German owners, and was
recently shipped to this country in
order to save his bloodlines. He is
now residing with Guy Walton Of
Pride's Crossing, Mass. but is to be
sold either to syndicate or indi-
vidual breeder for very substantial
sum of money which is to be devoted
to relief work in England.

Officers Are Elected.

New officers we're elected by the
Miniature Power Boat Club of
Washington at its October meeting
Raymond Meier is now president
and Harold Tanquary is vice presi-
dent. John Pendleton was re-
elected secretary-treasurer.
The club has made the following
offer to any one interested in model
power boating: If a prospective
member will procure suitable mo-
tor the club will give him every
assistance in constructing hull and
installing the power plant. The
club has the use of well-equipped
shop and its facilities are extended
to all new members, along with the
skill and experience of the present
membership. So no one interested
in this hobby need forego its pleas
ures because Of lack of experience.
The other members are glad to
assist the novice.
With one more race to be run for
the club championship trophy, the
leaders are Harold Tanquary, with
1,400 points. and John Pendleton,
700 points. 1t looks as though moth
ing short of a complete breakdown
will prevent Mr.. Tanquary from
winning.

all we're destroyed except for the
few advance copies which are now

Gardner wrote a book on the breed
which she termed an appendix to
Father Hogan's book and which
brought the breed history up to date.
AS may we'll be imagined. because
of his size, the Irish wolfhound is
not a dog that is owned by many
or that will ever be a dog for the
masses. However, he has dozens of
firm friends throughout the country
and breeding pairs or units may be
found in most States. There are very
few kennels in the country that
own more than two or three of these
dogs, and the Importation of new
specimen or the breeding of a new
litter is news for everybody inter-
eSted in the breed.
Big Appetite.
A recent import was Sulhams tead
Flute, imported by Constance Win
ant, whose mother is we'll known for
her West Highland Whites and Scot
tiSh terriers. Flute was first shown
here at last springs Old Dominion
Kennel Club show where he went
best of breed, feat he has repeated
several times. His trip from New
Hampshire with his young mistress
and her friend was as great an ad-
venture for her as for him, as she
found that he attracted crowds
wherever he was seen. His hotel and
restaurant bills threatened to make
her go hungry, as travelling whetted
his appetite, and since he was to
60 on exhibition, not she, his well
fare came first.
The Irish wolfhound standard
calls for large dog with minimum
height for males of 81 inches and
weight of 120 pounds. Larger,
heavier dogs are preferred. He
should not be as heavy or massive
as the great Dane nor as fine as
the Scottish deerhound, whom he
otherwise resembles.
A long head, with long, moderately
pointed muzzle and not too wide
skull, small ears carried like a. grey
hounds, and dark eyes are desired.
A deep, wide chest, rather long back
and well-arched loin, and a long
tail with upward curve at the tip set
upon long muscular legs, and covered
with wiry, double coat, make up
this most majestic of hounds.

The Armistice Day sanction

to thank his brother, FlaVianuS, for
the gift of seven Wolfhounds from
Ireland In the fourth century, A
D, Cormac, King of Ireland, kept
a large kennel of native hounds, and
for master of hounds he had Finn,
whose deeds with his hounds are
legendary.
In 1896, Lope de Vega, a Span
ish poet. wrote a sonnet on the
Volfhound from Ireland And in
1774, Oliver Goldsmith wrote de-
scription of Bran. the wolfhound
who saved Goldsmith's mother from
the Jaws of a wolf she met on the
road. Yet. by 1870, there were sup
posed to be only eight OF these dogs
left in all Of Ireland.
Almost Extinct
Despite the well-documented evil
dence in support of the antiquity
of these hounds, early descriptions
and illustrations do not entirely
conform to the hound we know to-
day. A picture made in 1894 shows
a large, smooth coated dog. almost
white and very much like the great
Dane in type Early references to
the dog under such names as the
greyhound of Ireland and the Irish
deerhound would lead one to be-
lieye that there were various types
of the same basic hound as we have
today in many other breeds. The
dachshund. for instance, may be
found smooth coated long-haired
or wire-haired, as we'll as in differ
ent colors and sizes.
However, there is no doubt that
the Irish wolfhound was practical
", if not totally, extinct when Capt
G. A. Graham of Dursley, Scotland,
returned from service in India and
became interested in the breed. In
1862, he set about to revive this
ancient breed. For foundation he
used the Scottish deerhound, close
" allied breed Great Dane was
introduced for stamina and size.
Greyhound was doubtlessly used for
refinement.
BY 1885, his Irish wolfhound was
breeding true to size and type and
the Irish Wolfhound Club of Eng
land was formed with Lord Arthur
Cecil as president and 1t. Col.
GARNER as secretary-treasurer. 1t
was then that the first standard
of the breed was written. and that
standard still stands, although an
amendment has been added listing
the points in order of Importance.

The elephants have come from
many sources, but nearly all are
inexpensive ones. Indeed. one of
the outstanding features of the COL

has been able to acquire so many
elephants at such small cost. That's

1t takes Mrs. Ellis an hour and

this while listening to her favorite

Since seeing Mrs. Ellis collection
and discussing it with her two of

of their own. Knowing that Mrs.
Ellis collects elephants. friends and
acquaintances frequently give her
ones they have picked up here and
there. Some have even been brought
to her by people known only through
contact at the store This broaden
ing of the circle of friends is one of
the pleasures of collecting which
come to Mrs. Ellis through her
hobby.
