Meantime in his Committee hearings the sharp-tongued Senator was making out a more concrete case for his seizures. Vice President Stephen B. Severson of Buffalo, N. Y.'s Republic Light, Heat & Power Co., a Cities Service subsidiary, admitted that without authorization he had signed the names of some 30 relatives and friends in his home town of Stoughton, Wis. to telegrams opposing the utilities bill, sent them to the Representative from that Wisconsin district. Copies of those telegrams in the company's files and 7,000 others had been destroyed, but Vice President Severson did not know...
...field trials, the series of winter tournaments culminating with the National Championship at Grand Junction, Tenn. There, last week, over the broad acres of Hobart Ames's plantation, the biggest galleries in years plodded after a field of 23 pointers and two setters, run in pairs for heats of three hours each. Weeks of cold and snow had made birds so scarce that, despite ideal weather, for the first time in all the 40 years of the championship, one heat was run without either dog making a find...
With broad-shouldered Planter Ames, a patriarchal figure in mustard corduroy, at the head of the procession, the championship week began with a fast heat by Yankee Doodle Jack, and a hot favorite, the orange-spotted pointer, Doctor Blue Willing. The latter stayed in hand better than on two other championship occasions and, as a local sports writer put it, "he handled his birds like a Ziegfeld beauty handles a millionaire." Tips Manitoba Jake, the big, white-&-black pointer owned by Golfer Glenna Collett Vare (see p. 27), ran the next heat worthy of notice. He, too, had the morning...
Third day's honors went to Pointer Ufton Congressman, obedient and stylish, but tired at the finish after a hard run over rain-drenched ground. His brace mate disgraced herself by chasing off after a covey of deer. Next good heat of the stake was run by Sulu, liver-&-white pointer bitch owned by Andrew G. C. Sage, whose Rapid Transit, champion in 1933, had run disappointingly the first day. Last year, Sulu had the honor of working in the runoffs as brace mate to Homewood Flirtatious the day Homewood Flirtatious won the Trials. Last week Sulu found...
...pulling for a Memphis dog called Hugh White, but he found only one covey and one rabbit. That left only one dog to run, Wicomico. Waiting around the drug store and hotel in tiny Grand Junction, experts figured that here was a make or break situation. A brilliant heat by Wicomico would win. Otherwise, two or more top dogs would be called back to try again. For once, the wise bird dog fanciers of Grand Junction were wrong. Wicomico's heat was not good enough to win. Instead of calling for a runoff, the judges gave first prize...
