Judging Of Dogs Explained
Expert Tells How Best of Show Is Decided

with each dog made to walk and
then trot up and down the ring.
II a dog acts up then. his chances
are bad. Not because the actual
dancing around takes away any
points, but because it makes the
judges job more difficult.
"We're looking for defects I'm
the joints, then, and that makes
IL impossible for us to Judge
whether or not the dog Is sound
In that respect"
After that the judge takes one
last look at the dogs, which are
being posed by their attentive
handlers. and then makes his de-
cision.
SAME WITH HORSES
Its odd, but q dog judged
best of show very seldom ranks
high I'm the obedience trials"
Rosenberg observed.
Its just like the thorough
breds which win races. You very
seldom see one of them winning
horse show"
And he should know, for his
father was a great horse fancier.
1t was from him that Rosenberg
inherited his love of animals that
led him to start showing dogs at
the age of II.
Rosenberg has raised 20 differ
ent breeds, but because of the
press of work and lack of facili-
ties he hasn't been able to indulge
in this part of the business re-
Gently. He's judged shows all over
the United States and Canada and
even in Honolulu.

Until Stroh comes along--Joe
Norris, Wally Reppenhagen,
Freddy Wolf. Phil Bauman and
Cass Grygier are due next Satur-
day at S;15--leaders in Class A
of THE Detroit Times Bowling
Sweepstakes can hold their breath.
Stroh's participation in any
event is one worth watching. 1t
will be particularly so next Sat-
urday because the likable Norris,
captain of the team, telephoned to-
day the following:
"We1l win that Class A title
for the fourth time In nine years,
or my name isn't Norris. The
way my team has been going
and we are just starting to hit
on all cylinders-what's to pre-
vent it,"
Norris is far cry from a Dizzy
Dean. He doesn't make idle boasts.
When he makes the prediction he
made today you know four other
gents will be rolling their heads
off to make it a reality. The Stroh
team is tndt way.
SHOOT AT CHENE'S 2991
Stroh will have to shoot better
than 1891, a total Joe Paulus'
Chene-Trombly posted two weeks
ago, to take over. To Norris and
the rest of his mates this doesn't
mean a thing. they are that con-
fident of going over the top.
Leaders in all other divisions
also went unmolested over the
past weekend. In fact. it was the
most quiet. disregarding that con-
slant crashing of pins, six. seven,
eight or nine. since the beginning
the first of the year.
Down in Class D, which will be
the highest prize money paying
division next to Class E, the only
change among the leaders occurred
yesterday. Fred A. Voelker's
Ready Power Service ferried to
tenth with $500.
STARTS WITH $50
This team got off to a great
start of $780, slipped to ISL, but
came back with S79, Captain Voel-
ker leading with a pa middle
game after a 1919 opener and 1856
closer for 500
Walter VOORHEES, Macklin OF
Saginaw made the best showing in
Class A with PAT, but not a men,
Der hit that select circle. Mike
Siragusa, who shot 739 in the state
tournament in Lansing. gathered
only SPA as the George G.. Schmidt
team rolled 2611.
On the other hand another
George G. Schmidt team plotted
by Lou Williams. was high in Class
B with 2632. Louis johnson did
some nice curving with 204-224 in
$40. but his team from Saginaw
could muster only 1921.
Al Pierce came through with
247 in 622 as Bob Wizorek's Rain
bow Rec. topped Class c with 2750.
Theron Sims 603 from Jackson,
Claude Wuepper's 604 and Don
Prices 602 also stood out.
Lee Loren's 216-236 in 649 for
the A. & P. Cubs was a fine bit of
spilling in Class d. On the fourth
floor Of the Times Building today
Charley Obermeyer, Johnny Mel
Ian. Stan Van Hoer. Bob Mages
and Ralph Novak are not making
a move for the fifth where there
are some good talking" bowlers.

MARYLAND All CLUB BOYS
FEEDING WESTERN
TAMRS

A carload of Western lambs are
being fed by Maryland All Club
boys throughout the state. These
lambs have now been on feed for
nearly two months and will be mar
keted in February at the annual
spring lamb show and sale, which
is held at the Baltimore Stock Yards.
This project Is considered by
many to be one of the most useful
for training young livestockmen the
value Of efficient livestock produc-
ton. Although the quality of the
lambs at the beginning of the ex-
pertinent have some effect on the
finished product, the most import
ant factor is the care and the skill
with which the feeding is done. Each
All Club boy is required to keep ac-
curate records Of feed costs and 9TH
er expenses so he can determine
what profit has been made after the
lambs have beenvsold.
Mr.. James B. Clubhouse Of the Ami
NAL Husbandry Department Of the
University of Maryland, is in charge
of the feeding project and is respon-
sible for assembling full informa-
ton regarding the purchasing. feed
ing and marketing of the lambs, so
that farmers throughout the state
can be advised through regular agri-
cultural extension channels.

O'CONOR BROADCASTS "CALL
TO ARMS"

Voicing a "call to Arms" to the
people of Maryland, to insure effec-
tive defense against hostile attack
when--not if it comes, Governor
Herbert R. O'Conor broadcast an
appeal to all residents of the State
to .'give their all' for defense.
Calling attention to the fact that
Maryland is in the target area" ON
this Coast, Governor O'Conor de-
clared that 1--WE will be untrue to
the memories of the Maryland boys
who made the supreme sacrifice last
week If we do not use this oppor-
tunity to prepare for defense and to
avenge their deaths.
Danger is no longer confined to
the fighting front. The expansion of
air power has over-leaped distance
and amy barrier. The fact that we
are today many miles from the
enemy's headquarters is no guaran-
tee at all of physical safety. Our
people are in danger and it must be
said in all candor that the chances of
attack are just as great in one place
as in another.
"Our duty is plain. We must, as a
people, and as individuals, cast aside
once and for all any mental reserva-
tions we may have had. We must
buckle down to work, to produce de-
Tense materials as we have never
produced before, as we never be-
lieved that we could produce.

UNIVERSITY OF MD. TO SHORT.
EN- COURSE

The reduction from four to three
years of time required to complete
the undergraduate course at the
University of Maryland as war
measure seems fairly certain.
This action appears likely to
enable students to complete their
studies before becoming eligible for
the draft.
1t followed a recommendation to
that effect made to the board of re-
gents of the University.
The recommendation, in the form
of a plan whereby the four-year
course of study would be completed
in three through the shortening of
vacation periods and general in
tensification of instruction, was
made to the board by a special COM
mittee appointed to study the prob
lem.

"sHow HOW TO USE THEM"

One job of the modern agricultur-
al research laboratory is to take
farm products and show industry
how to use them, to make things
needed for war or as substitutes for
things the war has made difficult to
get, such as: nitdocellouse (gun-
cotton), using ordinary cotton fiber;
rot-resistant cotton sandbags in
place Of jute bags; fire hose Of cot
ton lined with resin instead Of rub
Der; sweet potato starch to replace
imported tropical starches: better
quality dehydrated vegetables; new
domestic tanning materials; nic0-
tinic acid from tobacco; vegetable
broteins to replace casein for indus
trial purnoaes. &pr Henry Knight.
