DOG SHOW
A WORD ON
JOSEPH KIRKWOOD
The entries for the annual Dog Show
which takes place on April 7 and 8,
closed on March 21 with 203 dogs and
372 entries in 106 classes.
This exceeds last year's show by 50
dogs and 74 entries, and one of the in-,
teresting facts in that connection is. that
it permits of five championship points
being obtained in seven different breeds,
as follows: American Fox Hounds,
Pointers, English Setters, Wire Haired
Pointing Griffons, Shepherd Dogs, Chow
Chows and Pomeranians.
Under the rules of the American Ken
nel Club a dog must win fifteen points
under three different judges to be regis
tered in the stud book as a Champion,
and the number of points to be gained
depends entirely on the number of dogs
entered in any special breed. The high
est number of points possible to be
gained at any show is five, ranging from
one to five and depending on the number
of dogs entered.
The entry list for April's event for
American Fox Hounds closed with 15
dogs, Pointers 29, English Setters 26,
Wire Haired Pointing Griffons 9, Shep
herd Dogs 17, Chow Chows 14, and Pome
ranians 15. So, any breeder exhibiting
in any of these breeds will have the op
portunity of making as many points
toward a champion as at any show in the
country.

By Sandy McNiblick
If it were the custom to place a wreath
of flowers on the brow of a champion
leaving his country in search of new golf
ing glory in strange lands and strew
roses in his path, Joseph H. Kirkwood
would have been so banked in with floral
appreciation that he wouldn't have been
able to board his ship.
Never has a golfer left home to battle
in a championship with more well wishes
or been backed so fully by the confidence
of his countrymen as has this superman
of Australian golf.
He is champion of Australia and New
Zealand. Back home they think he 's the
best golfer living.
Kirkwood stopped off in Philadelphia
the other day on his way to compete in
three national championships. By way
of preliminary tryout, he will compete at
Pinehurst in the open championship of
the North and South.
On April 12 he sails for Scotland on
the Aquitania. He will compete at St.
Andrews for the open championship of
Great Britain, and then enter the lists
for the French open title.
After that he comes back to America,
where he will compete for the open cham
pionship of these United States, and is
likely to be seen at Pine Valley the same
week in Philadelphia open and several
lesser tournaments, or else in exhibition
matches. He has never been seen out
side his own country before.
His native land has sent him on this
tour of the championships of the nations,
has filled his pockets with gold, and
given him god-speed, firm in the belief
that he is the greatest of them all.
You might expect him to admit that
Australia's confidence was not misplaced.
He has burned up his home land like a
conflagration, and no one has been near
him there.
You might expect him to brim over
with the confidence of youth, yesterday
was his twenty-fourth birthday, but
Kirkwood himself echoes none of the as
sertions of his compatriots. He is the
essence of modesty.
' ' They told me I would win, and sent
me here to do it," smiled the champion
from the far land. "Naturally, I will
do my best. But I know what I'm up
against. The main thing that I expect
to gain on this trip is experience."
Not so, Australian golfers. They are
betting he will finish among the first four
at St. Andrews, and thinking that he will
beat them all. They are sure he will win
the French and American titles.
