SOME SPEEDY
SAPLINGS IN
COMPETITION
Young Greyhounds Show
High Class on Their
First Appearance.

The feature OF the coursing at Union
Park yesterday was the brilliant perform
ances OF the saplings. greyhounds which
are not set year old. H. L. Anderson's
Crawford Lass. by Crawford Lad; Dav.
Dillon's Challenger, by Hughe. and NJ.
c. Delano's three by Border Ruffian, were
all pronounced high-class by Judge Grace
and other coursing men present. These
are the first OF Crawford Lads and the
first of Hughes progeny to run here. Mr..
Delano Is new 10 the local coursing field
but his debut was successful one. Eight
Of the original thirty-two youu gsters re-
main in and are expected to show good
sport to-day.
The big stake has an oper look, al
though Royal Flush is the choice of the
betting men for first honors. Daisy Clair,
Theron. Cavalier, o X Capitol. Narcussus
and Crawford Braes are also looked upon
as possibilities. This figuring is done
without knowledge of the kind OF cours-
Ing each dog will get. A severe course
will upset all calculations and may let in
an outsider FOR flrst honors.
The hares were unusually strong yes
terday and some long courses resulted.
Mckinley beat Lowlander after running
three minutes and half: Rox beat Sweet
Marie IN three-minute course: Cash beat
Matchless and Log Boy beat Frosty Morn
after running the same length OF time.
