ROCKED ASLEEP
A FAST PUPPY
Is Runner-Up in a Stake at
Union Coursing Park, Be-
ing Beaten but One Point
GAMBIT IN GOOD FORM
The Black Greyhound Flies
Through Reserve Event,
Shutting Out Gold Chain

James Sweeney's coursing Futurity
candidate, Rocked Asleep. was the sen
sation in the all-aged stake yesterday
at Union Coursing Park. The promis-
ing son of Rocker-G Gallant Foe won
all his trials in dashing style until he
met Pomona in the all-impOrtant de-
Gliding course. In this, while beaten,
he was not disgraced, as the score was
to 5.
The imported greyhound Gambit
broke a long string of defeats by TAX
ing the reserve stake. He met Gold
Chain in the deciding course and shut
him out pointIess. Gold Chain was
fortunate in getting three bye courses
out of the five trials in which he ran.
Real Article, at once one of the fast
est and one of the most unlucky of
greyhounds, succumbed to hard run
ming during the afternoon. He had
trial with LiberatOr lasting one min
ute and forty-four seconds. This was
followed by one of two minutes and
thirty-three seconds with COnrOy,
which proved too great a strain on
him. Real Article was by imported
Firm Friend Widfiower and was con-
sidered one of the fastest greyhOunds
in the country. He was always un-
lucky in getting hard trials and in
sustaining injuries. The days results
