The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-08-10

rid the racing parks of the lovers and pat
rons of honest sport. And why not?
Who cares to see race between either
hounds or horses when one of the animals
has been physiced to such an extent that
it becomes thoroughly incapacited and I'M
unable to do justice to itself or the people
who wagered on its success? 1t is we'll
known fact that trickery of the most me-
NAL kind has been practiced at some OF the
coursing parks by unscrupulous people
who cared nothing for the sport, but for
the money that may be made by jobbery.
The CALL has for years attempted to ele-
vate the grand old sport on this coast, and
it has succeeded in a great measure to
place coursing in the position it should
command in this great coursing country.
To still further its interests the names OF
men who may be detected in the act OF
s'fxing' races at inclosed meetings will, in
future, be published for the edificatlon OF
the sportSm en- who have given their time
and money in the hope that coursiGg IN
California would be honored and recog-
nized by all classes of sportsmen as the
leading outdoor sport.
Interest in the big stake meeting which
is announced to take place at Ocean View
Park next month, is daily increasing.
From all accounts there will be greyhounds
from Sacramento. Stockton, MERGED, San
Jose and even as far south as Los Angeles
among the entrants. The managers of the
park have made special arrangements with
MERGED trapper to ship four crates of
hares for this big meeting.
The name of Q. Van Hummell, Md, is
quite familiar to all American sportsmen
who are interested in coursing. The doc
tor is now in England and in a recent let
ter to the American Field he gives some
ideas on the English system of training
greyhounds. Speaking of John Coke of
oil h. Sc nhnraA fl,o
most successful trainers of greyhounds in
England, he says:
At his kennels there are about fifty of the
hignest-bred greyhounds in training. Cook
takes the saplings in hand as soon as the
Waterloo cup meeting has been run In Febru-
airy. They are taken and broken to lead,
physic given to them, and then lightly fed on
oatmeal porridge and given a little daily ex-
ercise for several weeks Then the feed is in
creased and the daily walks become longer.
In month the sapling gets about five miles
leading every day, and good brushing
and light handwriting also every day.
Twice @ week he is taken to the beach
of the Irish Sea and given a gallop OF
half a mile on the sands. This is continued
all summer. About the first of August the
walk is increased to ten miles day, the brush
ing is the same but the handwriting is longer.
The exercise is always given on @ collar and
lead while the trainer goes on foot, and the
one trainer to another in field every other day
say, one gallop of half q mile each time.
If the dog takes on too much flesh he is
galloped once every day for few days until
this surplus flesh is removed and he shows
proper form. Now those that are wanted for
an early meet are carefully prepared and given
Q trial after hare and those that SHOW good
form are entered, and those that lack speed or
cleverness are hung and buried. They tell you
that they can lose money enough on good ones,
and poor ones are much better dead.
