IMPERIAL WINS
At GOOD ODDS
Beats Fast Lady Glare
Pointless in Short
Course.
Sir Pasha Is avorite in
Union Park Special
Stake.

W. Cairns greyhound Imperial gave
the talent a distressed feeling in the run
down of the open stake at Union Cours-
ing Park yesterday by winning the flag
from D. J. Healey's fast courser, Lady
Clare. The wise ones had figured the
Petaluma greyhound had so much speed
over her opponent that unless the hare
proved a demon it was easy money for
the Lady to win. At slip time their con-
fldence had increased to the extent that
the knowing ones were freely offering 5
to 1 that honors in the course would go
to their choice. The tempting odds had
the desired effect and quite a number of
tickets were issued at that price. The
capitalists were given a short and sweet
run for their money. Almost before they
got a glance at their favorite the field
the white flag went up and they learned
that Lady Clare had been retired from
the stake. Imperial took the lead and
maintaining it scored a running pickup
and gained the decision.
Loyal Lad also proved bad investment
for the men Of money. Five to one was
quoted on his chances and a good play
was recorded. Daisy Clair, his opponent
in the course, outworked him for the flag
by a score of to 4.
Dorothy NJ beat her sister, Miss Brum-
mel, l to choice, and three other short
ends, each at to 8, completed the list
Of victories for the pikers. The imported
Bright Gold, one of the short ends, after
being unsighted Joined in and outWorked
Patriot in a good course.
The hares were not so lively as previ-
Gus lots, but at that set a pace strong
enough to make the hounds extend them
selves.
Sir Pasha is stake favorite at to 1, but
his ability to go through a seven-round
stake is questioned. Rural Artist and
Freda c are at to 1; For Glory, Lottie
NJ, Master Clair, Black Flush and The
CRATER at to /.
Second round winners look to be Minnie
Sankey, Freda c, Elista, Sir Pasha.
Naughty Girl, The CRATER, Ruby San
key, Greenhall, st. Ives, Tapioca, Hick-
ory Dick, Kibosh, Black Flush Wedding
Bells, Master Clair, Bowery Boy, Sofala,
Red Rock, Ben Lomond, Rural Artist.
In the special stake to be run to-day
Charta and Narcissus are even favorites
at to l for final honors. Narcissus
should have the call, having won his last
three stakes in fast company. Tiburon
and Freeze Out are at to l. Tiburon may
be beaten by Fly by Night in his first
course. In his last time out Healey's dog
was outworked by Wedding Bells, which
fell an easy victim to Fly by Night
