Title This Week

The Departmental League second
half championship may be decided
this week with Miller Furniture
needing only to win tomorrow
against Naiman Photo, the second
place club and against Breech
Mechanism on Thursday to take the
title.
The Naiman tilt figures to be the
tough one as the Photographers are
only one game behind. Breech Me-
chanism hasn't won one of it's ten
starts since entering the race.
If Miller wins this week a three
game series will be scheduled next

f1rst-half champion, to decide the
loop title and team to go against
Heurich Brewers, the Industrial
League champs, for the city crown.
Naiman still is very much in the

the race by defeating Millers to-
morrow and Navy Yard Marines on
Wednesday, in which case two post
poned games will have to be played
next week before a second half win

Dog Show Interest Here Risino,
Plans for October Events Hint

parable to either the New York or
Philadelphia areas which have
maintained leadership in number of
shows and entries in the past. There
is no doubt that the combined pop
ulations of Baltimore and Washing
ton and the area between, which
correspond to the areas from which
Philadelphia and New York draw
their dog exhibitors, are large
enough to support a constant series
of all-breed and speciality shows.
The ever-growing list of cham
pions and obedience trained dogs
resident in this vicinity testifies to
the interest of their owners in these
fields.
Veteran Snowman Dies.
New York papers recently carried
a notice of the death of Sy Woolner,
who for some years owned the Adlea
Kennels at Washington Grove, Md,
and before that exhibited both Ger
man shepherds and wire fox ter
riers. Sy introduced here some of
the most progressive and most in
teresting innovations in the kennel
world. His ideas of service, both in
his own kennel and in the kennel
clubs of which he was a member
set high ideal. He is survived by
two sons in the armed forces and
a daughter.
Even Railway Express is doing
some unofficial recruiting for the K-9
Corps. It's public relations service has
sent out number of releases on the
need for more dogs, on their qualifi-
cations and on the part the express
company plays in their transporta-
ton. About 1000 dogs month now
are finding their way to the training
centers and from there to the actual
combat areas. Reports which trickle
back are universally laudatory. More
than one soldier owes his life to the
alertness of a canine sentry.
The qualifications for war dogs re-
main at dogs from to S years old,
at least so pounds in weight and 20
inches at the shoulder. in perfect
physical condition, aggressive and
free from gun shyness.
National Dog Week again is sched-
uled for September 20 to 26. EN-
phasis this year. in addition to the
seven primary objectives of this
week, will be on the work of war
dogs here and abroad. on the re-
cruiting of dogs for the K-9 Corps
and on the control of the stray dog
Breeders Conveying Stock.
More than one dog has come to
this area from far away for breed
ing and more than one has made a
long trip from here. But the St.
Bernard Dalakay's Dorky, owned by
Dowell Mansfield, recently had one
of the longest personally escorted
trips for this purpose when she was
taken to Springfield. Ill, to visit Oh.
Rosko V. Edelweiss.
1t appears, however, that more of
this sort of business is in store for
dog breeders. Due to the uncertain
ties encountered by dogs shipped in
the usual manner, more and more
owners are making plans to super
wise personally their dogs travels.
Recently Sally, a collie owned by
Mr.. and Mrs. Cooley in Bethesda,

her young son with real little sis
