United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Feb. 14-UP)-Many
 world champions have appeared at Madison Square Garden; but sel- dom has one caused as much com- ment as Lena, the champion moth- CT of dogdom. Lena is the little foxhound that broke all bow-Wow birth records by having g puppies in one batch.
 During the three-day stand of the Westminster Kennel Club show at the Garden, thousands visited Lena and her amazing litter-22 of which are still alive and nearly nine months old. The show closed last night.
 Lena-of the tawny pelt, long Tapping ears and pinkish snout- took this massed attention in good grace, except when smirking ma irons remarked: Why, the dear lit- tie thing is in whelp again She should be given an F for produc- tion."
 At these repeated wisecracks, it seemed to the imaginative writer that Lena grimaced in boredom, IS if to imply: Cut out the corn, lady; can the corn"
 Lena held court from an elevated stall or bench, somewhat aft Of the large fenced enclosure that con- fined her 9 youngsters. Their en- tire layout was at the end of the huge garden basement that shelt- cred most of the 2,650 yapping, barking, paying pooches in the show.
 Visitors noted immediately that all of Lenas offsprings were splotched with black markings, whereas there was no black on tawny Lena. This difference was explained by It. Cmdr. Newbold Ely of the Coast Guard, their owner.
 Commander Ely said, Lena is an AmericanWelsh foxhound. Her grandmother was brought over from wales. Lena was mated with a hound of the Penn -Marydel type, named KirkWood call. He had black markings" Kirkwood cal lis owned by Mrs. M. Roy Jackson, joint master of the Radnor hunt at Radnor, Pa.
 How did Commander Ely explain Lena's record batch of pups?
 We don't attempt to explain it," said the tall, dark -haired man in blue. Everyone was, and still is amazed at it; particularly because it was Lena's first litter. She's only two years old now, you know. And she's a comparatively small animal. The previous record oh-that was 21 puppies. held by a Great Dane whose name I've forgotten. Nearly all the Danes pups died in their first week. The only one that Lena lost died two weeks ago, from cause not yet determined"
 Commander Ely raises foxhounds at his estate in Amber Pa. The commander is an expert on dogs, in addition to being editor and owner of the magazine judge" He procurement and train- ing of war dogs for the Coast Guard. He returned recently from operations in the Pacific.
 Concerning Lena, the commander said he hoped she would not hit the Jackpot again. He would settle for a half-dozen pups. It was an proposition-caring for g, Two "fostermothers" had to be hir- ed to help Lena feed them when they were very young. They had 10 be sent to a special kennel where they could be watched "A hours day; and as they grew older and bigger their feed bill scared.
 The Dionnes of dogdom headed Tor home at Amber today.
