The ugly duckling who turned out
to be a swan has a canine counter
part in a dog owned by Washing
ton dentist. Zeke was so ugly when
he arrived here about year age
that his new boss wanted to ship him
right back to the kennels. Zeke
looked nothing at all like the high
class pointer that DR.. Peter W. Woy-
elk wanted, but friends talked DR.
Woycik into giving the pup chance
anyway.
Now Lexington Village Zeke, te
give him his full registered name
has the appearance of something
special in one section of the dos
world-the field trials. DR.. Woycik
has run Zeke twice in competition
He took second in the puppy stake al
Round Hill, Va, tough trials In
which professionals compete along
with the amateurs, and last week
he won first place in a similar stake
at the National Capital Field Trials
Club. DR.. E. E. Huffer anu Park
Brinkley we're judges at the National
Capital. They're considered just
about the best When they give a
dog the nod, it's really something.
Horse HandicaT.I Handler.
DR., Woycik thinks maybe he
would have done better at Round
Hill except that he had to ride q
horse to handle the dog, as is the
custom at most trials. There exists
between DR.. Woycik and horses
nothing more than an armed truce
he having ridden about five times IN
his life. When he forked nag at
Round Hill he was more concerned
about coming home in one piece
than he was about handling Zeke
Zeke handled himself and did okay
More sure of his horsemanship at
the National Capital last week-he
had to hold on with only one hand
this time-Dr. Woycik was able te
guide Zeke to first place.
Now first and second in puppy
stakes doesn't sound much, but there
are experienced dog handlers who
have been trying for years without
coming close. And these places were
won against excellent competition
by dog and man who never before
had competed.
Zeke Really Has Action.
Zeke still is no beauty, but he's
filled out considerably and at
little distance he looks wonderful
as he covers a bird field. 1t still
is doubtful if he'd be acceptable a.
a bench show, which is the beauty
contest of dogdom, but in hunting
or in field trials it is action, MOI
looks, that count,
Zeke has action. Even for {
youngster he knows what to do. HI

Toronto Out 10 CIinch
Stanley Cup Tonight
With Series Sweep
BY the Assoeioisd Press

DETROIT, April .14.-The Toronto
Maple Leafs will be shooting fol
their fourth straight and final vic.
tory over the Detroit Red Wings
tonight for the coveted Stanley
Cup.
The Wings fading hopes of rally
ing to wrest the big silver trophy
from the National League cham
pions hang precariously on one OF
more of these possibilities:
l. Retention of their improved
form shown in the second and thirc
games last week end, with a. little
luck thrown in.
2. A letdown by the Leafs, who
have reason to be overconfident
3. Return to top playing shape BY
stellar defenseman Jack Stewart
who sat out No. 3 Sunday with a
knee injury.
Detroit club officials, discouraged
by the Wings performance in the
first game, have taken on some
optimism. Although the Detroiters
dropped the next two contests by
the same two-goal margin, the
scores didn't tell the whole story.
The Wings displayed hard, fast
and alert hockey. Leaf President
Connie Smythe termed their play
superb" and said that 'with>our
breaks, Detroit would have won
both games"
But against the well-balanced
Leafs, victors in 10 of their last II
games, superb" was not good
enough.
The return of Stewart, coupled
with another bruising demonstra-
ton by Rookie Lee Fogolin, might
tighten up the defense enough to
send the beSt-of-seyen series back
to Toronto for game No. S Satur-
day. The sixth, if necessary, would
be played here.
Stewart again will be paired with
dependable Bill Quackenbush as the
flrst-string defense combination
Fogolin, who was called up from
Indianapolis Sunday and made a
spectacular big league debut, is ex-
pected to lend additional strength
around the goal mouth.

This Spartan durability once

impish tale that OK had won
the head-butting championship
of a lumber camp. A newspaper
carried a serious story describing
how lumbermen butted heads for
amusement after their days work
During these summer vacations
OK fell in with Pete Sturges, a

NO BLUFFTON AREA
DRAFTEES IN FIRST
PEACE Time CALL
Selective Service Inducts Eight
Allen County Youths
at Lima
Hancock County Call Takes
Four; Inductees to Serve
q Months

Registrants in the Bluffton area
escaped induction calls when the first
groups drafted from Allen and Ham
cock counties under the new seIective
service law left for camp during the
last week.
Inducted for 21-months service in
the army under the peace-time draft
were eight men from Allen county
and four men from Hancock county.
Allen county draftees were sworn
in at Lima army recruiting station
headquarters last Friday, and the
Hancock county group was indueted
at the same place on Monday.
One From Jenera
Among the four Hancock draftees
was Daniel o. d. Redick, of Route /,
Jenera. Two of the other three
were FindIay residents, and the
fourth lived on Findlay Route 5.
OF the eight Allen county draftees,
five lived in Lima; two on Lima
rural routes and one on Route /,
Elida.
Those taken in the first draft call
under the peacetime conscription act
are among 499 Ohioans ordered to
report at II induction centers.
Draft Eight Years Ago
Just eight years ago, November,
1910, the first draftees were taken
from this area under the 1910
Selective Service act.
The new conscription act provides
Il months of active duty in the
army. Following that, if qualified,
draftees will be transferred to the
reserve and will be required to serve
in it for five years, unless discharged
earlier.
However, if after serving 81
months they wish to continue
serving on active duty under a
voluntary extension of at least one

reserve for at least SO months, they
are to be relieved of further liability
for service in the reserve component
except in time OF war or other
national emergency.
