Both grey= Tounds” were in excellent condition and ran splendid trials. Pocatelll was beaten by the Tunner-up, Wild Turkey, an East- ern greyhound. This was a great trfal. First one dog “had the advantage and then the other. The swing of the hare lost the first turn for Pocatelli, which' cost him “the flag. Wilda Turkey was exhausted for the de- ciding course after his trial with Poca- telll and was easily beaten by La Rosa. It took three trials before Judge PFrank Shea could separate Aunty Tralee and Abbey, Side. .The latter finally won by a close score. It was a mix-up day and the talent had about an even break. Numerous short ends landed in the first round of the open event, but during the afternoon the dogs ran fairly well to form. The open stake was run dewn twice.
