Sulu, Andrew G. C. Gage's graceful pointer bitch, found only one covey, showing much of the style but little of the nose for birds which won her last year's championship. Homewood Flirtatious, the 1935 winner, did no better. Famed Doctor Blue Willing has won more major field trials than any living bird dog, but the National has always eluded him. Making his fifth try this year, the gallant, hammer-headed old pointer seemed shaky and uncertain, spent much time roaming off course, located only two coveys. Saddler, a 4-year-old pointer who should have known...
...Augusta lawyer, and his two sons. After a covey rise, some of the single birds settled in a small ravine beside a railroad culvert. When Brilliant Joe, an 8-year-old setter, reached the top of the railroad embankment, he saw that one of his mates, a young pointer, had got there first and was pointing. Brilliant Joe stopped squarely in the middle of the track to "back" him (honor the other dog's find by pointing too), as a stanch dog should always do. Just then Mr. Chance, who was about 200 yd. behind, sighted a long freight...
From the fight put up by the New York Stock Exchange against Federal regulation, from the war waged by U. S. power-men against the Public Utility Act, another group of U. S. businessmen who are about to receive Congressional attention were able to pick up many a pointer on how -or how not-to act when their turn came to go to Washington. That group was the nation's investment trust managers, whom the Securities & Exchange Commission is currently investigating as a preliminary to making legislative recommendations to Congress (TIME, Oct. 5, et ante). They have fallen over...
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...
