Brewer Win Tonight
Over Bruins Would
Get Pro Title

The fight for the Districts pro-
fessional basket ball championship
may end tonight when the Wash
ington Brewers invade Turner's
Arena for the second of their 3-game
series with the Washington Bruins.
Another capacity house is ex-
pected when play starts at o'clock.
If the American League tossers
can repeat an earlier 8-point ex-
hibition victory over the Bruins in
the Arena, the series will be over
as Chris Heurich's team captured
the first game of the regular series.
Although he played the exhibition
game, Bruin followers are claiming
that Tarzan Cooper's absence hurt
their cause inmeasurably in the
last game and are hoping that the
giant center may lead in turning the
tables tonight. Cooper and Soupy
Campbell are the colored teams best
bets while the Brewers will depend
chiefly upon Ben Goldfadden, Nat
Frankel and Moe Dubilier.

NEW YORK, March 29.-The
voice on the phone had said, sure.
the champ would be home.
Matter of fact" the voice add
ed dt turned out to be the care
takers), he'll probably be here just
about the rest of his life"
To hunt up the champ in his re-
tirement, we drove out one of the
Long Island parkways. then followed
a series of roads which got progress
sively narrower, and finally turned
of into a parking space next to a
freshly painted, cleaning white ga
rage.
A man in the garage, big enough
for eight cars, said yeah. this was
where the champ hung out.
go down there" and he pointed
to a plain white frame building,
land ask for Sterling"
There was a continuous racket
down that way, and it got louder
and louder and more frantic as I
got closer.
I unlatched the gate in the wire
fence, which ran all around the
house, latched it again behind me.
then knocked on the door. Was
Mr.. Sterling there2 The name was
Sterling, all right. but the last
name was Yoder. He's the champs
trainer-has been for the last five
years, more or less.
Brucie Likes to Play.
Knowing the champ had been
on a pretty rigid training schedule
for Ave of his nearly six years, I
asked Yoder about that-how much
effect it had on him, did it make
him irritable now in his retirement
was he inclined to be standofish.
Yoder, long, lean, sandy-haired
fellow in overalls, said:
Take just a second, and I'll let
you see for. yourself"
He went into the main room,
through a door that had a sign
tackled on it saying, "Private-no
admittance unless accompanied by
an employe" Less than a minute
later the door opened, and before
Yoder could even get through, the
champ had come bouncing into the
room.
He ran around it once, jumped in
my lap, tried to shake hands, licked
my face, romped over to Yoder,
bounded back again, and finally
picked a spot on the settee where
he could lie down with his head and
one paw in my lap.
This was the champ-My Own
Brucie, the pitch-black cocker
spaniel which was judged best in
the Westminster Kennel Club Show
at Madison Square Garden two
years in a row, and only dog ever
to 90 best-in-show within year
at the outdoor Morris and Essex,
biggest dog show in the world, and
at Westminster.
His Record Unmatched.
Add to that record three straight
years as best American-bred dog
at Westminster, and three straight
as No. l choice in the country's top
speciality show, that of the Cocker
Spaniel Breeders Club of New Eng
land, and you have record no dog
has matched.

My Own Brucie, King of Canine World, Just
Good Fellow When He's Not Exhibiting;
Virtually Retires at Height of Fame

-handsomer than most, of course
but just as frisky and playful, just
as friendly and devoted, just as
eager to investigate a strange per-
son or new smell, and just as
happy to be scratched back of his
foppy ears as that black and tan
mutt that followed Junior home
one day.
Besides that, Brucie is a civic hero.
He and Owner Herman E. Mellen-
thin have won the gratitude of the
city of Poughkeepsie, N. Y, where
Mellenthin makes his home and
where Brucie was raised.
Next to Mellenthin, Yoder has
been closest to Brucie throughout
his competitive career. And now
that the owner has decided on
almost complete retirement for the
coal-black cocker, 1t is Yoder who
still is entrusted with keeping him
contented and in condition.
Compared to his show ring days,
this Is comparatively easy. Each
morning Brucie and some 20 other
cookers are turned loose for an
hours romp in a field on the Dun
garvin Kennels property. The rest
of the time Brucie is in his kennel
where he either can stay indoors
and loaf or get his exercise in the
ruin outside.
The champ is democratic, too. No
special favors, nor exclusive quar-
ters. His run is Just like the others
and, like the others, he has couple
of kennel-mates for company.
His Rest Is Earned.
It's well-deserved rest after
years Of being kept at or near-peak
show ring condition.
"He had leash work." Yoder ex.
plains. which taught him how to
move properly when shown before
the Judge" You only had to watch
Brucie parade up and down Madison
Square Garden last month, SEEM
ingly nodding his head in grateful
but dignified acknowledgement of
each fresh burst of applause, to see
how we'll he learned that.
"His coat had to be just so-silky,
glossy, the right texture and thick
ness" Yoder continues. "Under
that coat his body had to be sound,
too, for no judge is going to accept
a dog that looks fine on the surface
but hasn't anything underneath.
Brucie's diet and condition were
checked as closely as that of q
Dionne quintuplet. If he showed a
minor failing in any respect, he was
given an extra dose Of the proper
vitamin.
"A show dog like Brucie never
gets completely out of condition, or
shouldn't be allowed to-" says Yoder,
a North Carolinian who has had
dogs as long as he can remember
and has worked with cookers for
seven or eight years. Naturally
you can't keep him at his peak all
the time or he'd 60 stale, just as
you can't keep a race horse con-
stantly primed to run his best. .
But by watching him all the
time, you can work things out SO
the dog can be brought up to scratch
in as little as two weeks"
Though Brucie's show career vir-
tually is ended, he's going to have
q good deal of effect on the Ameri-
can cocker spaniel field for some
time to come, as q sire.
