sent her running out on the stage.
She found herself out on the stage
with all the light in the world
beating down on her. A sitting
blanket of heat reached her. And
then she saw the stupendous,
crouching blackness through the
procenium arch where hundreds OF
people sat grimly staring at her.

Patrons of Joe Turner's weekly
wrestling shows are in for a treat
tonight when Joe Cox of Kansas
and Lou Plummer of South Bend
meet in the main bout of the evening,
which promises to be so packed with
action that Promoter Turner has
ordered two referees for the occa-
sion.
This unique bout is scheduled to
go 80 minutes-but probably won't

self inside the ring, while the other
will do his officiating from the out
side of the canvas.
Cox, who has not been satisfied
with the local referees, practically
ordered Turner to bring in neutral
arbiter, but Promoter Joe concluded
that Cox was becoming little too
dictatorial, and to spite him ordered
both Berger and Bortnick to referee
the unusual match. It is well known
that the Kansas grappler has no love
for either Bortnick, who disqualified
him two weeks ago, nor Berger, who
only last week disqualified him.
The current rumor has it that
the Angel, who has been somewhat
of sensation in Europe, may meet
the winner of tonight's bout, but
that remains with Turner, who is
debating whether or not the Angel
is worth the $500 guarantee he asks
to wrestle here.
In the other bouts, first of which
starts at $3.50, Tommy OToole meets
Ralph Garibaldi, Jim Comeld faces
Alan Eustace, Don Mcintyre tackles

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-It ended on
note of utter exhaustion. The
Westminster Kennel Clubs purple
and orange colors dropped from the
balconies of Madison Square Gar
den. The dog-food statesmen had
lost their fixed grins and courtly
manners. The women sitting with
their tiny toy dogs at one end OF the
building had worn themselves out
with three days of constant chatting.
Everybody. including the spec
tators, was dog tired, except a bun
die of naughty cockiness-a fine
bodied, perfectly coated black cocker
spaniel, Oh. My Own Brucie, Amer
ica's dog of the minute, winner Of
best in show at Westminster and
best American-bred dog in the show.
For Oh. Brucie, for whom 1000
people almost wore out their hands
applauding, trying to influence DR..
Samuel Milbank into making the de-
cision they hoped he would make
and did-had turned back a pre-
dicted foreign invasion that was
threatening the supremacy Of Amer
ican pooches.
Beats Five Champions.
The smoothly moving, fresh ASA
daisy Brucie had the situation well
in hand-and seemed to know it.
His handler and owner, Herman E.
Mellenthin of Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
was lot more nervous than Brucie.
So were his admirers. But Brucie
came through.
Brucie the day before had won
best in his group, the sporting dogs,
and in the final judging he faced
five other champions of their groups
as representative a field as old
Westminster ever had seen.
But the winner of the best in show
at Morris and Essex last May and
veteran campaigner Of over two
years experience could not be denied,
not even by such grand dogs as the
best chow-Ch. Lie VOL Lasson from
Philadelphia, winner of the nom
sporting group, or the naughty
Saluki, Oh. Marian II, best of the
hounds, or Milwaukees Ch. Utz Won
Dom, a tawny boxer that was named
the best of the working dogs.
Brucie Never in Doubt.
Also in the final contention with
Oh. Nornay Saddler, the smooth fox
terrier owner by Long Islands
James M. Austin, that was best of
the terriers and one of the finalists
last year, and the little Brussels
Griffon, Cr. Burlingame Hellaza-
poppin that won best of the TOYS
for Mrs. Rosaland Layte of Short
Hills, N. j.
But Brucie, who almost won last
year, was best-the crowd knew it,
Judge Milbank knew it-and there
isn't a doubt in the world that
Brucie knew it, too.
