Two Great Greyhonnds
Will Race Today
Onondago to Meet Georgetown
in the Grand National
Championship

The second series of races for the
grand national championship stake to
be run at Ingleside coursing park to-
day will bring together the speed mar
vels Onondago and Georgetown. Shrewd
leashmen believe that the winner of
this match will be in the final.
Georgetown is from Jerry OShea's
kennel and is by the famous Pocatelli
out of Young Firenzi. He is a grand
specimen of a greyhound, being true
and game and always trying. His re-
cent performances stamp him one
of the best dogs ever bred in California.
He takes after his dam in style of
running and is all action when on the
chase.
O'Shea looks upon Georgetown as the
equal of any greyhound that he ever
owned, and he has produced some of
California, among them Firenzi, Young
America and Golden Rule.
Onondago is owned by George Shar-
man and is bred in the purple. He
is by the noted English greyhound sire
Fetter Free, which was sent to this
country from England, but was in
Jured soon after his arrival and was
retired to the stud. The dam is Rush
away
Onondago is one of the largest dogs
in training and is a speed marvel. He
is the cleverest big dog in the run
ming, but is inclined to be faint hearted.
The betting on the race is 3 to with
Onondago the favorite. The dogs have
met on previous occasions, each having
scored victory. Onondago led in both
races.

occasion to place Louis under arrest last
night for dsorderly conduct. and not
having the necessary cash in his pocket,
he was unable to keep out of the cell.

his life. and they thought it well to watch
him last night. y policeman passed
through the cellroom at exactly l O'clock

apparently all right, but ten minutes later
when Policeman Dreamer went there he
found Louis suspended from the cell door
having used his belt d moose.

rcd TO Freedmen's Hospital in the patrol
wagon and given treatment IT was re-
ported this morning that he was out of
danger, although ii was said he was not
