YOUNG C0URSERS
IN A RICH EVENT
Futurity, for Which Many
GreyhOundS Are Eligible,
viii Be Worth Winning

The coursing men who failed to list
their greyhounds in the Futurity are
commencing to see how shortsighted
they were. The stake this year will
have a total valuation of about $4,000,
of which $500 will go to the winner and
S40O TO the runner-up.
One of the men to whom it has been
brought home is James Carroll. He
listed a litter by Wild Tralee-R -Rosi-
nante, which has shown no class up
to the present time. Mr.. Carroll has
another litter by Bright Gold Columbia,
all the members of which are crack
performers. These he failed to list and
they must remain in their kennel when
the rich stake is being decided.
The listing fee is small. while the
fact that a fast puppy is eligible for
the Futurity adds largely to its value.
If at the end of the first year the puppy
shows no promise, further payments
need not be made
Following the Futurity, which will be
run at Union Park on September and
4, will come the Junior Champion
Stake. All greyhounds under two years
of age are eligible for this event. 1t is
always an interesting fixture as the
winner of the Futurity usually meets
the best of the greyhounds not in that
event.
There will be no meeting of the
Interstate Coursing Club until the
night Of the draw for the Futurity At
that time officials will be appointed and
the prize money will be apportioned.
Z. o. Brown is here from Los An
geles with a string of dogs, including
the southern champion, New Home
Boy. He has also several Futurity
candidates owned by DIR. Weldon of
San Pedro.
The annual meet of the California
Coursing Committee last week at
Ingles;de Park was an unqualified sue
cess. The committee is in a position
to carry on its work for the develop
ment of coursing for another year.
The managers of the coursing parks
are discussing the desirability of a
strict pay gate. 1t is thought it would
place the sport on a higher plane and
better prizes could be offered.
The gates of Union Park will be
opened this afternoon for the first
Saturday in many months. The first
round of a 116-dog stake for win
ners viii provide the card. The run
ming will commence upon the arrival of
