z.venger Win Is Seen Tonight

The F. B. Stutz kennels Avenger,
who captured an impressive win
in the Key West Inaugural race
here on Saturday, looms as the
favorite to win tonight in the fea-
ture race at the Key West Kennel
Club.
The fleet greyhound is the hold
er of the track record and tonight
will be. out to better that mark in
his second outing. Trained by Bob
Black, Avenger is seen as a dis
tinct favorite, barring mishapS.
However. the favorite will be
facing some of the top dogs at the
track when he goes to the post to-
night. In particular, his stable
mate, Forward, is expected to
press him throughout the 5-16 mile
course. This dog has a lot of speed
and if he breaks a little faster he
is going to be a real threat since
he has plenty of late speed and
he was catching up with the in
augural winner his last time out.
Wayside Lady, owned and train
ed by E. F. Snipes is also a top
contender in tonight feature. This
little spedster was in a jam early
in the race Saturday if she shakes
loose. may lead the way home.
The balance of the field will be
made up Of Resonator. Trina. Senior
Sensation, Honest Buddy, and Jack
