FOR TOM KING
Southern California Grey
hound Beats Agile Squirt
From the Same District
POCATELLIIS DEFEATED
After Being Installed a One
to Fifteen Choice He
Loses to Tom Hooper

Greyhounds bred in Los Angeles cut
a wide swath yesterday on the Union
Coursing Park field. The stake was won
by Tom King, with Agile Squirt run
ner-up. Both are Southern California
greyhounds.
Tom Hooper, also from the south, fur
nished the surprise of the day when he
defeated champion Pocatelli, which
was a 1 to 10 choice in the ring. Poca-
tell led, but his opponent took the first
turn by favor of the hare. The final
score was four to three.
Tom Hooper and Agile Squirt are
owned by G. Lacy Crawford, young
millionaire ~ sportsman of st. Louis.
They are just out of the puppy class
and are of great promise. They are by
Cavalier, one of the stars Of the famous
Curtis kennels, and are out of Merry
Maiden.
In the deciding course for the stake
Tom King led by two lengths, dashed
in and picked up the hare.
The greyhounds seemed to pay no
heed to the rain, running right up to
their form. The days results, with
