Lions Face Stiff Goinq|n Ti|ts This Week

A pair of strong sextets that have
lost only 3 matches in Is starts
against the Washington Lions will
provide the opposition for the locals
on Uline ice this week.
On Tuesday night the bothersome
New York Rovers hit town, while on
Friday night the lightning fast,
second-place Baltimore Blades, who
have taken six of their eight starts
against the Lions, will be the attrac-
ton.
The cellar-dwelling Rovers have
provided some of the outstanding
thrills of the ice hockey season here,

A new speciality group in this area,
the Potomac Miniature Schnauzer
Club, lists Is members. Mrs. Mar
garet Perkins is the president. Mar
guerite Jones is first vice president,
Mrs. Clyde Dauthat is second vice
president and Elise Ellis is secre-
tary-treasurer. Ed Perkins. chair
man of the Bench Committee, al

conjunction with one of the local
aI-breed clubs. 1t is said there
will be prize list of 500 for min

money offered by the show giving
club. The main purpose of the club
is to foster the breeding and show
ing OF miniature schnauzers which
conform to the breed standard.
Miniature schnauzers which bear
the Perkins Stortzborg prefix have
been pretty widely distributed. One
pup is destined for trip to Cuba,
consigned to Thelma Ascanio, whose
father is one of the leading pro-
ponents of obedience training in
that country. Another pup found
his way to Hawaii.
The Perkinses are not the only
ones doing things with miniature
schnauzers. Mrs. Raymond Gill
lies bought one pup of the bench
at a local show and finished his
championship SO fast it left her
with not much to do, so she prompt
ly bought another and will try to
tie Kismet's record with the new
pup.
