DOGS CHALLENGE AUCKLAND ATHLETES
Can any Auckland sprinter beat a whippet over 100yds even taking: 80yds start? That question may be answered at the forthcoming Auckland Show whippet races. A challenge has been issued on behalf of the dogs. Three athletes can be accommodated on the course and both the amateur and the professional bodies have the question under consideration. Substantial trophies are under offer to the winners. The challenge included greyhounds also, but there is a difficulty in starting them with a pistol, so probably the, greyhounds will riot accept, the challenge. it **•**•**•«***»
