Held Oct. 3-Many Diff
Culties Overcome.

Secretary o. p. Smith of the new dog
racing track at Walkers field announced
yesterday that the track would surely he
opened for the public on October }. Base
ball fans who have attended the games
of late have noticed the construction
work going on for some time. but little
has been done in the past three weeks.
The management has been having trou-
BILE with the motor which carries the
hare. An effort was made to feed the
carriage with an overhead trolley wire
but after three weeks it was found i'm
practicable and the feed wire was placed
below the carriage This was done early
this week and since that time the car
riage has been made TO work perfectly.
A number of trials have been made
this week and the dummy has been
speeded up to q lap in twenty-four sec
onds. This will be improved upon the
coming week. until il has attained a
speed faster than the fastest greyhound
can travel.
Work on the track was recommended
again yesterday and before next week
rolls by it is planned to have a number
of private trials. This will be followed
by weeks training of the dogs when
the new racing will be ready for the
public. Word has been received from
the coast and several eastern greyhound
centers that dog fanciers will be here to
see the new scheme in operation As
soon as ii is proved to be practical it
is proposed to erect tracks all over the
country.

were brief periods when Richie
looked dangerous. In the meantime
Wright had lost mis- second set and
the score, five games TO three against
him, when three brilliant place shots
gave him lift, and from that time he
improved steadily, and not only took
the set. but the next two also, ending
