First Round and Cause
Surprise Among Bettors

The Sacramento greyhounds starred
at Union Coursing Park yesterday.
When the deciding course was reached
both contestants were products of the
capital city. George Nethercott's Barge,
that ever reliable fast one, carried off
the stake. the money, the glory and in
fact everything that was possible for
a greyhound to win.
Silver Heels, however, was there
strongly and until the red flag was dis
played the spectators were in a guam
dary. The rival hounds raced after
the hare in such a wholehearted and
fearless manner that the spectators
kept up the cheering until the great
course was at an end.
Barge had the speed and that count
ed, for the wet, sodden ground was
bad for the hare. Silver Heels ruled
favorite at odds of l to 2. She was slow
TO settle down to work, but when once
started she ran gamely and had a
chance all the time.
There were sixteen upsets in the first
round. Such fast ones as Sea Lion,
Red Rock, Naughty Helen and others
went down to defeat to the surprise of
the wise bettors. The hares were slow,
owing to the cold weather. A large
crowd was in attendance. Following
