Despite the ban on intersectional
competition at dog shows, the dog
owning public is managing to keep
up its interest in this sport. Shows
of various kinds with purely local
entries are being held and are
attracting competition of quality
and quantity.
National Capital Kennel Clubs
sanction match and obedience trials
had about 100 dogs in the former
and % in the latter, many of which
qualified for new degrees. Frank
M. Chubb of Baltimore did the
obedience judging and found Mar
garet Kubel's black cocker spaniel,
Jettas Dinah Mine, the dog with
the highest score in the class as
well as the first prize winner in
the utility class. Marguerite Jones'
miniature Schnauzer, Oh. Minquas
Bimelech, shown in obedience for
the first time, scored first In the
novice A class, and acted like a
veteran of many obedience trials.

Opening gun in the Professional
Golfers Association drive to aid
wounded veterans through golf Is
being fired today at hundreds of
clubs throughout the United
States. The PGA drive takes over
the support formerly given the Red
Cross and other agencies.
Around Washington every club is
holding some sort Of tourney, the
funds to be collected by the pros
and turned over to the PGA for
construction OF golf facilities at
veterans hospitals. But this is only
part of the task the pros have laid
out to aid wounded men of the
present war.
Mel Shorey, Indian Spring pro,
had 16 wounded men at his club
the other day. They played with
clubs donated by Shorey or club
members. Some had a leg or an
arm missing. One had lost parts Of
both legs. He played a few holes
as did the others. Indian Spring,
of course, is one of many clubs
around Washington which donate
their facilities to wounded men.
Practically all clubs are doing it
now.
I'VE are working on a plan to set
up a stroke handicap system for
these boys" says Shorey, which
will furnish them a basis for plavinp
tournaments among themselves over
any course. They're all for it. But
the man idea is to help them by
getting them out on the golf course
and away from hospitals. They get
the best care in the world at the
hospitals, of course, but they want
to get out on their own. Keen to
play golf? No golf beginner ever
was keener than these boys. It's

War Jeep, FIoshy in Jamaica
Victory Warns Derby Rivals

Alabama, also eligible for the Der
by, broke in front, but Johnny Adams
had War Jeep right at the flanks
Of the Hooper colt. He dropped
back bit coming out Of the stretch,
but closed in rounding the final turn
and then turned on the speed to take
command.
At the end, however, he was driv-
ing to stave of Frere Jacques, a
non-Derby eligible. Ben Whitaker's S
Chief Barker again showed he was
not worthy of Derby consideration
by running last all the way.
Although it was his first start Of
the year, War Jeep was the heavy
favorite to take the purse Of $4,l75,
paying only $3.50.
The Greentree Stable Derby ell
igible, Dockstader, tried / 1/16th
miles against three older horses in
the $4,000 Excelsior Handicap and
wound up second. julie Fnk's f.
year-old Saguaro set all the pace
and won by a length In 1:44% and
paid $8.70 to his hackers among the
43,105 spectators. Dockstader, car
rying only 106 pounds, was four
lengths in front of william Helis'
Rolnders.
