North Westchesier
Dog Show 10 Swell
Navy Relief Coin
Fund Likely to Receive
Between 81 500 and
81, 500 From Event

Saturday Is the deadline for enter
ing dogs in the North Westchester
Kennel Club fixture at Katonah, N.
Y, on June l3. which may prove to
be the last really big show until
after the war. Entries must be in
the hands of the Foley Dog Show
Organization. 2009 Ransted street.
Philadelphia, by Saturday. Entry
fees are $3.50 per dog per class, the
extra so cents being earmarked for
Navy relief, which will probably re-
ceive between $500 and $2,50O
from the show. In addition to the
so cents from each entry, Navy re-
lief will get the net proceeds from
the show proper.
Aids Dogs for Defense, Inc.
Nor Is Navy relief the only bene-
ficiary from this show. Dogs for
Defense, Inc, is destined to clear
about $500, the profit on the trophies
which are offered In their name, re-
ceipts from certificates offered in
their name, and at least 500 from
the Dachshund Club, which is one
of 36 speciality clubs holding their
speciality shows at this time.
The Hartford Obedience Test Club
again hopes to break the year rec
ord for entries. Three pages OF the
premium list are needed to record
the cash and trophy prizes offered
in this field alone Altogether, $3.50
in War bonds. $1,000 in War stamps,
$500 in cash, 253 trophies-150 of
them sterling-and $3.50 Of cash and
trophies for obedience are offered
outright at Katonah.
Generous With Transportation.
Exhibitors who travel by train will
be met at both the Stamford Conn
and Katonah IN. " stations.
Trucks will transport the dogs to
and from the show. In many places,
professional handlers are volunteer
ing to transport dogs to and from
the show for a nominal charge. This
does not obligate the owners to have
their dogs exhibited by the handler.
Where such transportation is not
available, many exhibitors have
found 1t pleasant and profitable to
share cars and cards.
The Katonah show Is followed on
the next day by the Longshore Ken
mel Club show at Westport, Conn,
less than 80 miles away. Foley also
is the superintendent of this show.

Glass A Final on Tap
AT kenwood July 10;
Voigt Shoots 50
Leeds Morsenthou Men
To Decisive Victory;
B. Competition Hot

Treasury Department and Fed
teams will meet July 10 at Kenwood
for the Government match play
championship in the tourney spon-
sored for the fifth consecutive year
by The Star.
Victors by overwhelming margins
In their latest matches these two
teams have won the titles in their
two sections in The Star tourna-
ment, and while each outfit has
another match to play the coming
contests cannot jeopardize their
standing at the top of the list.
Treasury has won the Glass A,
Section ! title, having rolled up
a total of 81 points, while FBI,
the powerhouse outfit in Section 2
has won 211a points, and will get
6-point forfeit from Executive Of
fices, which has withdrawn from
the series.
Four Teams Have Chance.
While the titles in Glass A have
been won a tight scrap looms in
Glass B, Section l. where four teams
have q chance to win. Post Office
Department leads In this section
with 141a points, with WPA next at
1877, and Mount Alto third at liz
Treasury hopes to pass all of them
when the Treasury B team meets.
Agriculture Friday, and by winning
six points could go to the head OF
the class.
Agriculture is well out In front in
Glass B, Section 2. with 18 points,
far in advance of the 912 points won
by Public Buildings. But the latter
team has a postponed match to be
played.
Latest victim of Treasury as Sec
retary Morgenthau's boys put on a
spectacular burst of scoring, was
Navy Vary, on which Cliff Spencer,
former Beaver Dam pro, is the top
man.
Voigt Shoots Subpar So.
George Voigt of Treasury, former
local amateur champion, scored a
subpar 50 at Bannockburn, and with
Johnny Miller, fashioned best ball
of 81 to take points from Spencer
and Hoffman of Navy Yard in
Treasury's 5-to-1 victory.
Meanwhile Federal Bureau Of In
vestigation, headed by Billy Shea
and Tommy Webb, steamrollered
over Navy, S to l, at Bradley Hills.
Glass B victors will clash July 10
at Indian Spring in the champion
ship playoff, but there are too many
'ifs" in that section to make any
predictions. WPA licked Mount
Alto, 31a to az at Indian Spring,
while WPB was licking Post Office,
4 to 2 at Army Navy in an upset in
Section l.
Agriculture climbed to the top of
Section by 512-to-la victory over
RFC at Kenwood, while Public
Buildings beat Maritime Commis-
sion. 51a to u. War College meets
FBI tomorrow in a match that may
sprout fireworks.

back, when the august United States
Golf Association Cancelled its major
championships and a few other Or
ganizations followed suit.
The answer to that Is on display
today at the Manor Country Club,
where the fastest field in many years
is playing for the Middle Atlantic
amateur championship and where
dozens of tournament and compe-
tition-hungry men are having their
single fling at formal match play
competition this spring, with a title
at stake.
So they didn't want golf? The
answer is the more than IS who en-
tered the tournament, and the way
they've gone in for the competitive
angles. It's as plain as a shanked
iron shot that the boys want COM
petitive golf of the man-to-man,
head-to-head brand more than
they've ever wanted it and that the
Middle Atlantic Golf Association has
made ten strike by not following
the ostrich policy and abandoning
its tourney, even though transpor-
tation troubles and other difficulties
beset the golfers path.
Top Flight Is Fast.
Not in many years has the top
flight of tournament around this
golf-hungry town been as literally
spotted with gents with more than
a nodding acquaintance with par
The championship flight in that
Middle Atlantic affair is a who's
who of golf around Washington
with only two of those tough boys
from Baltimore to scrap it out with
the local field for the title.
When the tournament was award
ed Manor months ago some one
said it was course suited to the
accuracy of little Gene Pittman OF
Congressional
Those woods won't bother him,
they said. And he can putt" They
doped it right, for Gene and Volney
Burnett, the Maryland State champ
from Indian Spring, deadlocked for
the medal over the longest Manor
Country Club course we've ever
seen.
Honest, they dug up tees not even
the club members knew about. In
some spots you hit your tee shot, if
you could avoid the shakes, through
gap in the trees about 20 feet
wide. Or so it seemed. That old
gag about threading the eye of the
needle never was better illustrated
than at Manor.
Tie for Medal at II.
Pittman and Burnett tied at one
over-par Ills, quite hunk of go1
over a slow course. But they were
only a short jump ahead of Claude
