Wings Geiared
To Put Criinnp
In Cdnddiens
BY LEWIS II. WALTER

Unbeaten on Montreal ice in 10
successive games, Les Canadiens
stand between the invading De-
troit Red Wings and the National
Hockey League lead tonight.
II the roaring Red Wings can
keep up the rush with which they
humbled Boston Bruins Sunday
and come out of Montreal with a
victory or a tie. they'll be in front
of Boston, appear all set for a
cakewalk to the championship.
Should the Wings meet defeat
at the hands of the now-powerful
Frenchmen, they still will be tied
for the lead and regarded as GER
tainties TO take first place in their
series with the laSt-place New
York Rangers at Detroit Saturday
and New York Sunday.
Then they virtually could clinch
the title by scoring a victory at
Boston Tuesday.
Detroit wants to win this game
tonight, however. Not only TO get
this title matter settled as quickly
as possible, but also because a VIC
tory would seriously cripple the
.Canadiens' playoff chances.
The Frenchmen, getting up
steam In the stretch, are anything
but gentle playmateS.

ChiIdren'S
Dog Class
Popular
BY DON GILLIES

Although there will be many
innovations at the Detroit dog
show in Convention Hall this
weekend, such as trained army
dogs, stage acts with trick dogs
and others, there probably is no
other event on the tWo-day show
that will capture as much interest
as the ehildrcnis handling classes.
This particular event, instituted
in Detroit shows many years ago,
continues TO be increasingly popu-
lar. And that is not difficult to
understand.
The children's handling class
will be decided on Sunday after
noon. Nearly 40 entries have been
recorded and according TO A. Will
son Bow. superintendent, il is one
event that never lacks enthusiasm.
A couple years ago, l recall an
instance during the children's
event in which two sisters were
showing their mothers dogs. The
two little girls were just about as
proud as any one could be. Both
did an excellent job in showing
the two graceful collies and then
the judge had TO make a decision.
He had to judge which dogs
were best. 1t became a job no
man would relish, but his judg-
ment on the winner had TO be
based entirely on which was the
best dog and any one knows that
in a child's mind, only her dog
can be best"
AS 1 recall il. the older of the
sisters. a girl of II or Is, was
given the blue ribbon. The younger
Of the two received third place
and as the two little girls walked
out of the ring tears were stream
ing down the youngest girls face.
The older one tried TO console her
sister to no avail.
If you 60 to the Detroit dog
show Sunday, don't miss the chill
dren's handling class. It's a sight
you'll never forget.
